Pedalboard 2 Configuration

The signal first hits a BYOC 5 Knob Compressor, which may be the best compressor for electric or acoustic guitar. It has a cool blend knob which allows you to blend in the unaffected signal. And I built it.

The signal then hits a BYOC Overdrive2, which I built as well. Kind of a boutique Tube Screamer, but better, and clearer. You can use TS-style diode clipping, or MOSFETS, or none. It can boost the bottom or cut the mids and boost the top and bottom. It has internal trimmers to adjust the gain, and has a built in boost as well. I A/B’d this with a TS808 and TS9 and this sounds much better and is way more versatile. It is cheaper too because SRV didn’t use it. Let the suckers buy up all the TS pedals out there, because this one rocks.

The signal hits a Digitech CF7 Chorus Factory, which clones vintage and modern chorus pedals, except it is quieter. This should be a lot more popular and expensive than it is, and there is no hiss when I am not playing.

It then hits the Line6 DL4 Delay Modeler. I set this for a longer mod delay, a shorter tape-like delay, and a slapback. I used this for years as my only delay pedal, but the M13 clones most of it.

This pedal can also mimic an chorus, auto-wah, overdrive, and slow gear.

Last in the chain is the Guyatone Tuner. It is small, and visible in the dark as well as sunlight. The switch mutes it, and it is 3x more accurate than the Boss TU-2.

The whole thing is powered by a Visual Sound One Spot, which does the job well. Everything is zip-tied to a PedalTrain Jr (pedaltrain.com), because Velcro glue doesn’t work well in the heat of the Southern US.
