Product Information

They can also be used as an expression pedal to control volume or modulation, which gives more control over the sound of the guitar.

The process of making your pedalboard can be a fun and creative project, and it’s a great way to save money. 2. What is the design of DIY Pedalboard? Mini pedals are exactly what they say on the tin. They’re guitar pedals that have been made more compact so that you can either use more of them on a ‘board, or you can run a much smaller rig. You’ll often find that two versions of a pedal are available – a ‘full-sized’ one, and a compact one. In a lot of instances they’re exactly the same thing, just in different sized casings, and the smaller one can be cheaper. A pedal board is a convenient way to organise and transport your arsenal of effects pedals. Whether you’re simply running a tuner and an Ibanez Tube Screamer or a fleet of stompboxes that would make Kevin Shields sweat, a pedal board is an essential ingredient of your guitar rig. This could be a good thing if you often find yourself wasting time fiddling with controls on your pedals, but guitarists who enjoy sculpting their tones, they may find mini pedals a little limiting in that respect.

For example, a reverb and delay, vibrato and chorus or delay and pitch shifting. Both multi FX and dual purpose pedals are excellent choices if you’re looking to save space on your pedalboard, but will potentially cost more than your standard single effect guitar pedal. Many pedalboards offer bespoke solutions for cable management, with special clips and runners that will keep things nice and tidy, making it a lot easier to chop and change as you need. However many pedalboards leave you to work this out yourself, which means getting out the cable ties and getting creative. It’s easier than you think to create a neat looking pedalboard, but it does take time, and you should always plan out your cable runs before committing to cable tying them. Trust us, there’s nothing more annoying than undoing all your hard work because something is wired wrong, or won’t reach its destination. How we choose the best pedalboards

If you’ve started to accumulate a number of guitar pedals, you might find it difficult to manage them when playing gigs or rehearsing. That’s where a pedal board is ideal, allowing you to mount all of them onto a solid metal frame, typically with velcro. Along with patch cables to connect all of your pedals together and a power supply to provide them with consistent electricity, a pedalboard is the foundation.Compressor pedals don’t need to be complex, especially if you’re using them with a guitar. The Dyna Comp Mini includes two large rotary knobs, one for tweaking the output volume of the pedal, and the other for adjusting the sensitivity of the compressor. A key aspect of the Plexi Drive Mini is its two preset switches, situated on either side of the central ‘Tone’ control. These switches allow you to instantly cut some of the bass or mid frequencies, which in turn highlights the remaining frequency bands much like an EQ pedal would.

It’s a transparent overdrive, so you will hear all the nuances of your guitar and amp shine through. There are three modes – Boost, Overdrive and Distortion, with each one giving you a little more gain and compression as you step it up. This makes it a really versatile pedal and, no matter how you’re using it, you can expect incredible tones – warm, with just the right amount of bite and attitude.What are the 1/4″ lead assemblies for? These are input/output connections. Solder cable leads that mount on the input side and output side of the board. Each input has a soldered cable that will connect to the input (Right Side) of your first pedal and the output (Left Side) of your last pedal. Plug your instrument and amp cables right into the side of the pedalboard instead of into the pedals directly. Helps offset wear and tear and also reduces setup and teardown if you gig with the board.
