It has been a while since I posted here, so I thought I would update the pedal board progress. Yes, that is my bed. focus. FOCUS!
I have recently acquired a Line 6 DL4 delay unit and adapter for the one-spot as pictured below. As you can see, the pedal board is pretty small, so something's gotta go.
I first removed the Boss pitch shifter / delay, because, while it is a really fun toy to play with, it makes everything else sound like total crap. I then pulled the Danelectro Chicken Salad Vibrato and moved it up to the top row, putting it earlier in the chain.
I then pulled the Morley A/B/Y pedal out of the chain all together. I bought that when I was still in a band and had visions of grandeur, running my Crate VC3112 & VC5115 in a stereo setup. I never did get it set up and now only use this for recording at home, so... out it goes.
Below is a close-up of the eyelets screwed into the platform, which the cable ties attach themselves to. This is such a great setup, it took me about a minute to remove these and place them to fit the new pedal.
As it was, the Line 6 pedal was hanging off the right edge of the board by an inch or more. There was a half inch or so to be gained by slamming the distortion pedals up against each other.
Done.
As you can see, it's not quite a comfortable fit, but it is there and not intruding on anything, other than having to lay the power strip on its side instead of on its bottom like it was previously. Also notice, since the rest of the pedals and cable ties are color-coded as closely as possible, and there are no green ones, I decided to go with a yellow tie on the bottom and a blue tie on top :)
This pedal is great. I love it. I have yet to get my money's worth out of it, but that would be true if it only cost a dollar.
Now the pedals on this board range from $9.99 (tuner) to $250 (DL4). There is around $850 here... Again, it may as well be worth a dollar, due to my playing ability, but it's a fun hobby either way.
On a side note, when I zipped up the case, it pulled the cable ties apart, since I had them attached in the front, right where the zipper goes. I tore those off and slid the new ties (still yellow and blue) up a bit, so now they are out of the way of the zipper and everything is coo.
