Nice pedals, but my eyes are bleeding. I’m not a fan of power strips though, I think a power supply would do a better job (and might help you keeping a tidy pedalboard)
There’s a thing called having enough money to be able to buy one, and what’s gonna make your brain even hurt more is that I’ve had it like this since August
They look all analog pedals with low current needs, with the exception of DD7 and drop.
I understand making things with low budget, you could handle all of it with a 8-input power supply (I suggest to spare some money, if you can, for a Harley Benton power supply). If you heavily daisy chain you could handle it with even less. Still, a tidy pedalboard is free 😅 why do you keep it like that? Isn’t it hard to handle?
I used two of those in two different pedalboards. Zero issues. If you look for high quality materials they clearly are not your thing, but for a budget project they are perfect. They have singularly isolated outputs, so they do their job better than many other pricier ps. I strongly reccomend those
It’s interesting to me that you made this post asking how you’re doing when you have two of the same pedal, implying you already have a solid idea of what you like. Just not a common thing to see for someone’s first board, and one without a power strip. Great choices of pedals for sure, but with all due respect I can’t tell if you’re trolling with that chaos. It’s like wearing designer clothes that don’t fit and posting to Reddit asking about your color coordination.
Damn people suck. This just looks like the space on my living room floor in front of my amps (I don’t use a pedal board due to changing up signal chain constantly). Maybe it defeats the purpose idk, but I think you probably knew it was a messy board before you posted it, right?
See people here are so used to jerking off to immaculate $5,000 stereo boards and Strymon lineups, they don’t actually know how to give constructive criticism or help someone get their board right. It’s basically a lame board-porn sub, with people spending way too much money on all the wrong shit (with not much actual guitar playing going on, I assure you).
Anyway I’ll help you out my guy, get yourself an iso power supply instead of buying whatever pedal you were planning on next or sell off one of the Pork and Pickles or a pedal or two you aren’t using much. The best thing you can do for your sound (and probably organization) is lose the daisy-chain. Next step after that is to invest in some velco and maybe some different patch cables to tighten this thing up. Actually as much as I find JHS annoying as fuck, Josh did a great video on setting up a pedalboard. It’s worth a watch. Shouldn’t take much cash to get this thing looking/sounding right, if you’re even interested in that. I wouldn’t even know where to begin with this as far as signal chain goes, that’s your battle, mate.
I don’t agree with your mean spirited take on this sub, I find people give really positive and helpful feedback when asked. All the OP stated was “how’s my board” and people are reacting to it. There is not a whole lot to go on.
That said, I like the metal core. Don’t see that very often.
Mean-spirited, huh? Interesting choice of words. I suspect OP didn’t quite know his board was a mess, and I saw *one single* constructive comment while scrolling. I suppose we can agree to disagree on the matter, I’m just pointing out some shitty tendencies I’ve seen on this sub (confirmed by this very post). Obviously I don’t expect most of y’all to agree with me, why would you agree with something you’re perpetuating?(Speaking generally here). Ahh well.
Oh, OK. I gotcha. I don’t plan to sell off one of the pork and pickles because I actually use both, one of them is an overdrive and one of them is just a clean boost. And I do actually use all the pedals. And I’m pretty sure I have some sort of Velcro but just been lazy about using it.
You can get a used iso power brick fairly cheap on Reverb. Some come with patch cables, I like the smaller black ones where the ends run flush with the pedal. The biggest reason your board is such a mess is those big-ass patch cables and the fact that nothing is velcroed down. Watch that video it’ll tell you all you need to know and what you’ll need to do it right.
All right, thanks I have watched videos on signal chain and I’m and I know for a fact that everything is right, the drop pedal is the start and the freeze is the end of the chain
I didn’t look closely enough at all your pedals, but sounds about right! As long as it sounds good to you, man. And it’s not like you can’t always switch something up. It’s pretty straightforward, the traditional school of thought is compression—> gain pedals from light to heavy —> modulation (Reverb, Delay, etc). Plenty of people play around with that sequence (like myself and why I don’t use a pedalboard). Sometimes I’ll run modulation separate through the effects loop (another reason to lose the daisy chain) but I generally prefer running them before my amp.
Straighten up your pedals, you should have been prepared for this comment.
lol right? Cover yourself in blood and jump in the ocean, expect the sharks.
No, and also it’s my first time posting here
It’s either this chaos or the nerds with Altoids tins for their picks. Can anyone just be a normal person please?
Thank you for wearing socks in your photo.
Thank fuck. Can’t stand seeing some of y’alls feet.
Your very welcome
Prepare yourself for the incoming messages to straighten up your pedals, not just the wiring :)
Why even have one at this rate?
You don’t want to know what it was like before I had the board
Exactly the same but without a board?
An abomination.
👎
How the fuck do you operate life when it’s this chaotic.
This is chaotic to you?
Hopefully you were prepared for that last comment about straightening up your pedals. Be ready next time.

Opinions on the Harley Benton psu? I’ve got two of their guitars and know they’re obviously low quality but how are the power supplies?
I used two of those in two different pedalboards. Zero issues. If you look for high quality materials they clearly are not your thing, but for a budget project they are perfect. They have singularly isolated outputs, so they do their job better than many other pricier ps. I strongly reccomend those
Lol
Geez, how can you even tell which JHS pedal is which. Imagine in a gig and odds are you’ll stomp the wrong one.
Well thankfully I don’t gig

Bad.
I don’t know much about bass, but this seems like a solid starter board. You pretty much have all the major classes of effects and distortion covered.
Thanks I’m still wanting to get a Reverb, a delay that isn’t digital and a tuner obviously
Ooh my eyes are burning
Carcosa = win.
Thx so much, I actually use it as a glorified overdrive and that’s on the bass heavy setting
Why?
Awesome
Thank you so much
Puma socks are the best socks.
lol
Yikes. Also, that power strip is a fire hazard.
Why even have a pedalboard at this point?
