Pedalboard 1 used with Julie Black
Line6 M13, Ernie Ball Vol Pedal Jr 25k, Gator Gig Rig Pedalboard
The M13 is an amazing tool for guitarists, and I was able to clone the sounds of my existing pedals within this unit. I use this for all of Julie's shows as well as any solo shows where I don't use the guitar synth setup. It has classic as well as wacky sounds, and I love both. It also has a simple looper on it (sadly with no feedback control yet), and Line6 genuinely connects with their end users and provides updates on their website.
The M13 is controlled by the EB Volume Pedal (you have to use a 25k one, plugged into the pedal's out jack) which generally controls the delay time with Julie's band (you can map it to any parameter or many of them at once) or loop volume at my solo shows. It is sturdier than Line6's EX1 pedal, and I absolutely recommend this as a means to control the M13.
The pedalboard is the Gator Gig Rig. Just put it on the ground, take the lid off, and go. The lid becomes a guitar stand for 3 guitars. BTW, every pedalboard should have a clock. The world would be a better place if musicians could keep track of time.
Pedalboard 2 used with Julie Black
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.
