While I was building my pedalboard for a recent Deltron 3030 show, I thought it would be cool to share my efforts on a Pedals And Effects video! Since it was just a one off show, and I have to fly with the board in my luggage, the construction had to be tight, small and pack a powerful punch.
Read MoreToday’s Show Me Your Pedalboard entry comes from Anish all the way from Mumbai, India! Anish plays bass in a progressive rock band called Coshish. You’ve guys have made quite the name for yourself! Anish mentions that after all of his years of bass playing, he only recently started getting into pedals. It’s never ever too late to get into pedals! Any given pedal can encourage you to play a certain way which in turn expands your creativity. Innovation isn’t a race, whether you’re a newbie or seasoned vet, there’s always something to learn from one another. Welcome aboard! Let’s take a look at what Anish is rocking:
Read MorePedals And Effects is always looking for pedals that have similar functions so we can make them a part of our “Wars” series! This week’s video is a bit of a stretch but essentially Dwarfcraft’s Memento and CopperSounds Telegraph Stutter are killswitch effects. Though very different, the Memento’s killswitch can be programmed and the Telegraph Stutter is an on the fly effect.

Read MoreToday’s Show Me Your Pedalboard entry is nice and compact and comes from bass player Brad! With the Mars Volta I was using not one, not two, not three, but four huge boards in my live rig. I’m fortunate in that I was able to play in a group that allowed for radical sonic experimentation, but traveling with four huge flight cases in addition to your amps and basses is a huge pain in the ass. Not mentioning when a single pedal would go down and then having to go pedal by pedal, board by board to figure out what connection came loose. You got to find a balance and got to find what works best for you! If you gig regularly and can fit your board into your back pack it makes traveling so much easier. As cliché as it is, less really is more, let’s take a look at what Brad is rocking out with:
Read MoreAbout a year or so ago when I was on tour with Big Sir, during our stop in Portugal a fan came by and gave me this wonderful little pedal. I’ve been so blessed and fortunate over the years to receive such wonderful things from fans and other musicians. The fan who gave this one to me thought it was a bit extreme for him. Everyone’s got their own tastes, but you know me, I’m all about extreme sounds! (Also, if you are the one who gave this to me please email me so I can give you proper credit!)
Read MoreToday’s Show Me Your Pedalboard entry is short and sweet! Today’s board has been provided to us by bass player Stephen! Stephen is a bass player from good old Los Angeles, California! Stephen is a dentist by day, but rocks the low end by night! Let’s take a look at what Stephen is rocking:
Read MorePedals And Effects 3rd year anniversary week starts off with a bang with the announcement of the return of the DOD MEATBOX!
Read MoreFans of PedalsAndEffects know I am a big supporter and user of Fairfield Circuitry pedals. I have reviewed their Randy’s Revenge Ring Modulator and put their Four Eyes Fuzz in a Fuzz Wars and now they return with the Meet Maude Analog Delay. Of course this is no ordinary delay pedal and in typical Fairfield Circuitry fashion, Meet Maude has it’s own unique sound that makes it stand out from other delay pedals.
