My pedalboard. Nothing too fancy and on most gigs I don't end up using any of it.

Love this thread !
Here is mine, after years not playing much outside and mainly using computer + ableton live + vst plugins (Bootsie's pugins, Valhalla Reverbs, free vst amp simulators, ...).
This is an electric AND acoustic rig, and not electric OR acoustic. I use it for my acoustic and electric guitars indifferently.
All my electrics have a transducer to be mixed with the magnetic PU, hence the Zoom A3 with its two inputs. The Zoom A3 is great for gigging, but unfortunately has a noticeable high pitch digital sound ringing all the time, what a bummer ! I hope it will be fixed in a firmware update, if possible.
This little Artec EQ proves to be very useful, no added noise, true bypass, and the bass EQ's frequencies are a better choice for me than a guitar EQ, 100Hz and 50Hz separated is a must to cut some boxy-ness without loosing thump.
Just ditched the Ditto for a JamMan Solo XT, originally just because it is stereo, but i ended up dismissing my promise to stay simple, because the JamMan is so convenient.
A Ditto X2 in stereo will be out in March but even though, i prefer the SoloXT.

Also it's interesting to see effects that are close from each other:
wah and proton
flint, lex and chorus
Do you use the Proton only as autowah or do you sometimes used it as a cocked wah ?
Sometimes with a low enough cutoff and resonance it can sound like a nice darkjazz amp.

Here's mine, it's all on the shelf currently though, this is just the last config I can remember. Used it to make a weird James Ferraro wannabe tape last summer.
-
happy with this one...
-
just updated mine.
Got a Mono Case/PedalTrain combo for my birthday
For a while I had a Strymon Flint on here as well. Great pedal but let it go to get another EJ strat.
This board does about anything I need.
-
For playing jazz, I don't use a pedal board. For playing blues, a tuner, a boost, OD and a delay is a versatile and compact rig.

Made me wonder about your kill switch : is it soft ? Doesn't look so ... but it might be: the ditto's swtich looks like this but is soft actually. A kill switch in the REAR of a pedal board ??
Nice board !
edit: Ah, you have plugs on your guitar ... home made ?

Hah! Jazz keeps me young..
Yes I did the Freeze mod myself (twice actually as I did it for my friend and amazing musician Phil Robson too) with this switch (I'm pretty sure). It's a soft no click switch and I cannot work out why they almost ruined the genius of this pedal by putting in a loud clicking switch for the sake of a couple $. It's easy to do and if you have this pedal then you really should swap it out- if I can do it anyone can..
Exactly the same switch in the killswitch too. but you can opt for a latching if you want.
The kill switch could have gone in a few places on the board as it's there for 2 reasons, firstly there is a MASSIVE pop through the speaker when you first engage the Ring modulator after turning on so I use the killswitch to turn it on and off again silently and also it's for a stuttering effect when it's crazy time in the band I'm in.
The plugs I bought years ago, the famous and almost hilariously expensive Dougs Plugs... Essential with my Eastman T146SMD as it feeds back a lot at volume.

Hi Dan, yes thank you i already did the mod myself.
I was so shocked to see such a nice pedal with such a clumsy switch that i was searching the web for an explanation within one hour upon receiving the pedal, and found some mod examples.
But i did a dirtier job than you : drill a hole and connect a female jack. Not replacing the switch !
Thanks for the explanations !

The only pedal I use with any regularity is a Hardwire DL-8 Delay/Looper. I'll use reverb and chorus on my amps. I've got some MXR pedals and a Dunlop Cry Baby that are all packed away in their original boxes and haven't been used in years.

The jazz pedal board has always been an interesting topic to me. Jazz guitar is somewhat "plain" in common gig situations, but I seem to find a use for even the most exotic pedals. Anyway, I'm interested to see what others use. If possible, don't post your "normal" pedalboard that you sometimes play jazz through...the reason I wanted to start this thread was to see which effects people are using for their jazz gigs. But hey, I'll never complain about seeing more pedals so post away.
My current jazz chain: TC Electronics PolyTune > Keeley Compressor > Strymon Lex > TC Electronics Alter Ego (custom delay) > Strymon BlueSky

My jazz pedal board is a 8 x 6 piece of ply with a RC3 looper and a separate stop switch set into a cut-out mouse mat ( if wondering about why a separate stop switch, just try pressing the main pedal twice while timing a stop in tempo… )
I'm intrigued to see what else jazz pedal boards could be….
-
i mostly do not use a pedal board just guitar into the amp
but i have one for when the gig requires it
very basic just
a Boss FDR1 (fender deluxe reverb modeller) for some fenderish tone
a Boss GE7 , which i just keep there mostly unused but every now and then i find eq a great way to sort out a tone problem
a Boss RC3 looper and the boss FS6 switch's connected to looper
a soundcraft mixer which i use as is need either for multiple guitars into my amp or for PA use and line it out to the house system
-
I have a medium sized pedalboard I love for the rock and funk stuff I play, but for jazz I just use a Mad Professor Silver Spring reverb pedal into my amp. Or sometimes nothing if I use my Princeton Reverb.
-
I play a 5E3- amp and for jazz this could work alone, but I always have a tc hof and a tc flashback before my amp.
The newest pedal is a mooer black secret, which I find amazing for some modrn sounds. Especialy for soloing this one is nice. I even like the turbo setting more in a jazz context.
-
This is my current pedal board:
I also have an Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail that I use when I need reverb, a TC Electronic Ditto looper that I sometimes use for practicing, and a Boss FDR-1 that I don't use much anymore.
I was going to get an Empress Para Eq, but I decided two wait a bit. I might still get one.
@ Gabe: what is the frame under your pedals? It looks like the perfect size for what I'd need when I use more than just the Hilton volume pedal. Does it have a gig bag or case?
