BUILDING A GUITAR PEDALBOARD

When I decided to build a guitar pedalboard, my main goal was to have a certain “vintage guitar tone” without using a computer e digital plugins.

After searching YouTube for guitar pedal reviews, I became aware of the products Behringer e also of TC Electronic, which is also a sub-bre, of Behringer. I’ve learned from several videos that most Behringer products are “exact copies” of some of the most iconic guitar pedals of all time, like the Ibanez Tube Screamer, translated to TO800 – Vintage Tube Overdrive, by Behringer!

I was super happy to know that TC Electronic is a Behringer bre e that factor gave me more confidence to try out some pedals before investing in other products from this bre. I first bought e tried the MojoMojo Overdrive, paired with the TO800 (amazing combination by the way!!) e the Drip Spring Reverb. Both TC Electronic pedals are very well built, really robust metal housing e incredible sound quality e totally surprised me.

As for Behringer’s TO800 – Vintage Tube Overdrive, I love the sound quality, but the build quality is clearly inferior to TC Electronic’s. The pedal box e controls are made from recycled plastic (this in itself is amazing!!), but I think they will hold up well to use. In the end, I think the sound is the most important factor here!

The guitar pedalboard I planned would have to include a multi-power unit for power effects pedals (with isolated connections) to connect to a single power source e distribute the necessary power to all the pedals. So I ordered the Harley Benton PowerPlant ISO-2 Pro, multi power unit for effect pedals with 8 isolated outputs, filtered e protected against short circuit eliminating noise e hum.

To play in tune e in harmony with the bes, I wanted to include a pedal-shaped guitar tuner, easy access e comfortable, so I ordered the Harley Benton CPT-20 , a chromatic floor tuner for guitar e bass.

As a fan of Jimmy Hendrix, I wanted to have the classic sound of Fuzz available, the famous Dunlop Fuzzface, so I included the Behringer SF300 on the pedalboard. Then the audio path, I wanted to render the overdrive pedals the MojoMojo Overdrive, paired with the TO800. After this process the audio signal goes to the Behringer UT300, followed by the Digital Stereo Multi-Effects Pedal Behringer FX600. Finally, the signal includes the Behringer VD400 Analog Vintage Delay followed by the TC Electronic Drip Spring Reverb.

I ordered some Pro Snake Patch Angled Jack 0.15m, some Sssnake Effect Pedal Adapter e the sssnake Effect Pedal Adapter Straight to connect the audio path between the pedals. I also ordered a pair of sssnake IPP1030 to connect the guitar input e the pedals output to the amp.

The pedalboard is all covered by Velcro e the pedals are fixed to this surface e all closed by a travel case for easy transport e protection!

I just tried this pedalboard e I can say that I am convinced with the sound palettes available with this pedal combo! Quite diverse, sound warm e defined e quite robust.

And you? Would you change some of these pedals on this pedalboard?

Keep an eye out for YouTube! I will record a video review about these pedals e also to show you all the details about this pedalboard!
