Finally got my idea of a portable and 'everything necessary' -containing pedalboard done!
The amp I decided to go with is a 70W Taurus Stomp Head 4 HG...which basically is a full guitar amp head...but it just happens to be sized so that it fits a pedalboard. It has 2.5 channels....clean with crunch switch and a distortion channel. And believe it or not but this thing sounds huge! It does not shy from competing with any regular tube amps...which was my biggest worry when buying the amp...so no regrets there at all.
We play numetal kinda stuff in drop Cis and Gis tunings and this can do them both without any problems. For the drop Gis songs I use an OD though, just to get the extra tightness for the low end.
The pedalboard is a Voodoolab Dingbat L...it is a nice and solid pedalboard so really happy with it. Rest of the stuff on the board are:
- Korg Pitchblack tuner
- Dunlop Dimebag wah
- Digitech Whammy Ricochet
- MEK overdrive
- MXR EVH 5150 OD...this I actually decided to use as a distorted channel with my 6 strings in drop Cis...so the distortion channel on the amp is for 7 strings in drop Gis.
- Source Audio Soundblox 2 Orbital Modulator
- Source Audio Soundblox 2 Dimension Reverb
- MXR Smart Gate
- BBE Supa Charger as a power at the bottom of the board
So there it is, my version of a great and "compact" pedalboard! I'm pretty happy with it...the board ended up being a bit bigger and more expensive as originally planned, but that happens always
What do you people think...yay or nay?
And of course without any pics this would be totally pointless Here you go:
