This pedalboard takes my essential pedals and utilities in a consolidated yet versatile layout that makes sure to sound the best it can in every possible scenario I find myself in, with as little compromise as possible. No matter what the crazy jungle that is the underground Portuguese music scene throws at it, this board can handle anything from the scrappiest PA-less basement gig to a full scale show with no compromises.

For amp-less (and the sake of what's left of my back) and amped operation ("Wet/Dry/Wet esque" arrangement or simple amp only operation) with parallel synth signal and stereo capabilities.

In amp-less operation, the amp loop is patched on the MOD2 with a patch cable, with the ToneX pedal handling amp sim duties.

In amped operation, ToneX Capture sends a line output of the cabinet out of the JVM to the ToneX pedal (with IR, going stereo out to the Plethora and to FOH) and a dry signal to the cabinet. Combined with the FOH Stereo out from the pedalboard, it creates a W/D/W arrangement of sorts. In the case that I must use a backline amplifier and no PA, the MOD2 C/D outer jacks serve as unbalanced outputs that go into the input (or fx loop return) of 1 amp in mono, and 2 in stereo.

The MOD2 I/O are as follows:
A/B - Amp insert send and return
C/D - Stereo out
MIDI I/O - Self explanatory

MIDI Chain:
Interface MIDI Output > MOD2 MIDI Input > ES5 > Plethora x3 > ToneX > SY200 > MOD2 MIDI Output > JVM MIDI Input (in amped operation with this particular amp)

Guitar goes into the Polytune input, into the noise gate. The gate controls noise on the "pre amp" section of my pedalboard, refering to the ES5 and it's effects. The noise gate's send jack goes to ES5 input.

The ES5 Loops are as follows:
Loop 1: Wah
Loop 2: Pitch Shifter
Loop 3: Synth
Loop 4: Eisenhower Fuzz
Loop 5: Big Muff

ES5 Output goes to the noise gate's return, and it's output in turn goes to the inner MOD2 A jack, where A/B outer jacks serve as the amp insert loop. Inner B jack goes to the ToneX, which in turn goes to Plethora x3 as a stereo chain for "post amp" effects. From the Plethora, the stereo output pair goes into MOD2 C/D inner jacks.

The Synth routing allows for both paralel and in series operation. ES5 Loop 3's Send goes to Synth input, and its the Synth's own Send jack that goes back to the ES5. The Synth's output is then connected to FOH. This way, I can manually toggle on/off the Synth on the ES5, and choose wheter it's in paralel or series by changing the FX loop settings on the pedal (efectively using the output and send jacks on the pedal as 2 outputs). In paralel operation, I get a clean blend of guitar and synth sound, while in series operation the synth can make use of the guitar chain's effects (like dirt, ambience, and looper on the plethora).

The ES5 is essentially the brains of the whole rig. Pedals and amp are either managed through the ES5 Loops, via MIDI, or in the case of the Pitchfork+, through one of the CTL Outs. The other CTL Out goes to MOD2 D inner jack so it serves as a footswitch for an external unit (like a backline amplifier). Since I mute the guitar with the Polytune, the Mute footswitch in the ES5 becomes a general purpose footswitch for the ES5's CTRL Outs. The EHX Dual Expression pedal has 1 output connected to the PitchFork+ and the other connected to the ES5 Expression in, so it can control CC parameters on the MIDI pedals. The Pitchfork Aux Output is connected to the MOD2 C inner jack in case I ever need/want to use it (like an -1 octave out to a bass amp ala Jack White). The whole rig could also be programmed on a DAW session by connecting the MOD2 MIDI Input to an interface.

Basierend auf dem gleichen Konzept und den Möglichkeiten des Flaggschiffs BOSS ES-8, ist der BOSS ES-5 eine minimal abgespeckte Version, die im deutlich kleineren Gehäuse daher kommt und somit ohne Mühe auch auf kleinere Pedalboards passt. Alle wesentlichen Bedürfnisse von Gitarristen und Bassisten werden auch hier bedient. Die kreativen Möglichkeiten für Pedalboard-Systeme, die der ES-8 ermöglicht, sind jetzt auch für kleinere Anwendungen erschwinglich. Erweitere dein Pedalboard mit dem kleinen ES-5 und du spielst in einer völlig neuen Liga. Von jetzt an wirst Du deine Effektpedale völlig anders einsetzen.

Based on the same concept and features as the flagship ES-8, the ES-5 is pared down to offer more practical and essential use options for typical guitarists and bassists, and is drastically reduced in size to fit ready-made, standard-size boards. The innovation in creativity of pedalboard systems made possible by the ES-8 has become more available and affordable. Expand your board just by one size and incorporate the ES-5, then you are in for a whole new world of musical expression, not just another utility tool. From this day on, the use of stompboxes will never be the same.

Das Pitchfork von EHX ist neben dem Whammy und dem TC Electronic Sub ‚N‘ up das wahrscheinlich beliebteste Pitch-Pedal, das es auf den Pedal-Boards der Welt gibt. Von einem Bekannten, der sich ausgiebig mit dem Löten von Pedalen beschäftigt, habe ich mir sagen lassen, dass der Bau eines wirklich sauber arbeitenden und verlässlich trackenden Pitch-Pedals alles andere als leicht ist. Und das kann man sich gut vorstellen: Viele Pitch-Pedale tracken irgendwie seltsam, klingen entweder im Clean- oder Gain-Bereich jeweils zu matschig und undifferenziert oder können mit bestimmten Frequenzbereichen nicht gut arbeiten. Selbst das von mir hochgeschätzte Red Panda Tensor hat viele Stärken – die Klarheit des Pitch-Effekts ist es nicht.

The EHX Pitch Fork®+ features two independent pitch shifting engines with full control over each. Both will transpose your pitch up or down over a +/- three octave range and detune +/-99 cents. With rock solid tracking, an organic, musical tone and extensive control, it’s your ultimate harmonizer.

When it was introduced in 2010, the original POLYTUNE forever revolutionized the way musicians tune their instruments. Praised by professional and amateur players, guitar tuning instantly became as simple as Strum - Tune - Rock! So how do you make the best-selling polyphonic tuner even better? You take it to the next level by: providing multiple tuning modes, including polyphonic, chromatic, strobe and a variety of altered tunings; adding an onboard BONAFIDE BUFFER to preserve your tone over long cable runs and pedal board signal paths; and upgrading the LED display for even higher tuning accuracy. Say hello to your next tuner – POLYTUNE 3.

Die Palmer PAN 04A ist eine aktive zweikanalige DI-Box, die speziell für die Einspeisung unsymmetrischer, hochohmiger Instrumentensignale in Mischpult-Mikrofoneingänge entwickelt wurde. Die aktive Schaltung sorgt für einen unverfälschten Frequenzgang und eine hohe Dynamik, während hochwertige Transformatoren für eine saubere galvanische Trennung zur Vermeidung von Brummschleifen sorgen. Ein besonderes Merkmal ist der zusätzliche Mono-Summenausgang, der die Signale beider Kanäle zusammenführt. Jeder Kanal verfügt über einen schaltbaren -30 dB Vordämpfungsregler (Pad) und einen individuellen Ground-Lift-Schalter. Das Gerät ist in einem robusten Stahlgehäuse untergebracht und für den harten Bühnen- und Studioalltag konzipiert. Die Stromversorgung ist flexibel und kann wahlweise über ein externes Netzteil oder per Phantomspeisung erfolgen.

The Palmer PAN 04A is an active two-channel DI box designed to feed unbalanced, high-impedance instrument signals into mixing console microphone inputs. Its active circuitry ensures an unaffected frequency response and high dynamic range, while premium balancing transformers provide electrical isolation to eliminate ground loop hum. A standout feature is the additional balanced mono summed output that merges the signals from both channels. Each channel is equipped with a switchable -30 dB attenuation pad and an individual ground lift switch. Housed in a rugged sheet steel enclosure, the unit is built for professional stage and studio use. Powering is flexible, supporting either an external DC adapter or phantom power.

In 1999, Danelectro debuted the original Spring King reverb, a pedal that proved to be monstrous in terms of tone and size. Fast-forward 25 years, the Spring King Junior is here to reclaim the throne. While this sibling's sounds are as big as ever, the size of the pedal is far more subtle. Just like the original, the Spring King Junior features a real spring tank to produce its authentic reverb sounds. Danelectro also crafted the Spring King Junior from die-cast casing for extra durability, though it also includes a soft footswitch for gentle activation. Lastly, Sweetwater guitarists have easily accommodated the Spring King Junior on their pedalboards because the Junior — while still able to produce some of the springiest 'verb sounds imaginable — is but a fraction of the size of the original pedal. From tubular surf rock licks to ambient clouds of shoegaze sound, the Danelectro Spring King Junior is the rightful heir to the reverb kingdom.
