I'm about a 1/3rd of the way to having my dream pedalboard. Still have more pedals and the board to purchase, then of course there's the building process but that won't be an issue. Many years ago, I rebuilt Fender Deluxe Reverb reissue amps by stripping the chassis bare, then rebuilding the entire amp by installing my PTP hand-wired G10 board, along with Mercury Magnetics power, output, and reverb transformers and choke, along with rewiring the entire amp with Teflon silver coated wire.

After adding some good tubes, biasing them up correctly, and popping in a nice speaker like a Weber C12N, the difference in tonal complexity was astounding. I had some great pedals at the time that everyone raved about, but through my stock reissue DR, they only sounded "OK" to my ears, so I didn't see what all the fuss was about. But after rebuilding the amp, my pedals suddenly sounded incredible, and I could hear nuances that I'd never heard before. It was literally like someone removed a blanket from the front of the speaker. So, wiring up the pedalboard won't be an issue, it will just take time, testing and will be a bit tedious.  

I'm so glad I found Rockboard. I've been planning and working on the design of my board for the last 8 months or so and have been checking out tons of different pedalboards. No matter what board I looked at, I either couldn't fit all of the pedals I wanted onto the board or had to buy a board so large that I would wind up with a lot of unused space. But the Rockboard Cinque 5.2 pedalboard looks to be absolutely perfect for what I need and have been looking for. It's not too large and I was able to place every pedal I wanted to use on the board with enough space between pedals for cable routing. And IMHO, it's very reasonably priced and comes with a soft case. Many other board companies don't have or offer cases for their boards, so you'd have to scour the internet to try to find a suitable case. 

I designed this board with the primary focus on worship & ambient tones to play on a silent stage at church. But at the same time, I'm old school rock & roll so I also needed the board to have the flexibility to play hard rock, blues, funk, etc. 

TIP: the addition of the KMA EndGame pedal will be a gamechanger and it's the most incredible utility pedal I've ever seen. That pedal does so many things it just blows my mind. Just off the top of my head, it contains a stereo effects loop, so I'll run my mono pedal chain into the EndGame and then use the stereo effects loop to run my stereo modulation pedals. Since it handles stereo, there's also a ground/phase switch to keep everything in line. 

It has a doubler for thickening tone, 2 headphone outputs so I can jam with another player, along with Bluetooth so I can run tunes wirelessly into the EndGame for jamming or practice. 

There's built in Cab IR's. I can use the built in IR's, download more IR's from KMA's software, or I can upload any IR's I'd like. Or I can bypass the KMA IR's and use the IR's built into the Friedman IR-D, so lots of choices and flexibility.

Another biggie is that it contains buffers so the output signals to either the house mixer or amps will be strong. That will complement the Source Audio Zio, which is the first pedal in the signal chain that I'll be plugging my guitar into. The Zio has a buffer with a 1M ohm input impedance, perfect for a guitar's pickups, and has a 
150ohm output impedance, as close to perfect as I've seen. So, I'll plug into the Zio first, which will then send a strong buffered signal into the rest of the effects chain. Then, the last pedal in the effects chain will be the EndGame, which with its buffers, will send a strong & clean buffered signal into either the house mixer or amps.

But IMO, the main benefit of the EndGame is that it's also a direct box and has 2-XLR outputs so I can run stereo directly to the stage box, which then sends my stereo signals directly to the house mixer. But it also contains 2-1/4" outputs so I can also run stereo into my 2 Deluxe Reverb's or any other amps. Or I could use those 1/4" outputs to run a pair of powered stage monitors. It also has the capability of running the signals into in-ear monitors, but I haven't checked into that as the church has a separate IEM system that player's use. There's more that I'm forgetting, but the EndGame has so many features that it was the first pedal I bought when initially designing this board.

Die magische Kombination aus Tremolo und Reverb ist das früheste Beispiel für eine perfekte Verbindung von Gitarreneffekten. Erstmals in legendären Verstärkern der 1960er Jahre eingesetzt, hat dieses harmonische Zusammenspiel unzählige Aufnahmen und Live-Performances geprägt – von frühem Surfrock, swampigem Bayou-Blues, Spaghetti-Western und Film-noir-Soundtracks bis hin zu modernem Indie-Rock. Auch heute entdecken Gitarrist:innen die inspirierende Kraft dieses Traumpaars immer wieder neu.

Flint ist ein Studio-Qualitäts-Effektpedal, das genau diese klassische Kombination liefert. Wir haben unsere Lieblings-Tremolo- und Reverb-Schaltungen aus der Vergangenheit intensiv analysiert, ihre klanglichen Feinheiten untersucht und sie in unseren aufwendig entwickelten Algorithmen detailgetreu nachgebildet. Flint ist im Grunde zwei Pedale in einem – Tremolo auf der einen, Reverb auf der anderen Seite.

The magical combination of tremolo and reverb is the earliest example of a perfect guitar effects marriage. First pioneered within historic amplifiers of the 1960s, this harmonious coexistence has made its way onto countless records and performances — from early surf, swampy bayou blues, spaghetti westerns and film noir soundtracks, to modern day indie rock. As music moves forward, guitarists continue rediscovering the inspiration provided by this perfect pair.

Flint is a studio-class effects pedal that delivers this classic combination. We carefully studied our favorite classic tremolo and reverb circuits, examined the sonic complexities and faithfully accounted for every detail in our hand-crafted algorithms. Flint is essentially two pedals in one, with tremolo on one half and reverb on the other.

Das Source Audio ZIO ist ein komplett analoges Preamp / Boost Pedal, das eine Auswahl von vier unterschiedlichen Preamp-Schaltungen mit jeweils bis zu +20 dB zusätzlichem Output Boost bietet. Das Ziel bei der Entwicklung des ZIO Analog Front End + Boost war einfach, aber ehrgeizig: 'Make Everything Sound Better!' ZIO ist das erste komplett analoge Effektpedal von Source Audio und wurde in Zusammenarbeit mit Christopher Venter, dem Eigentümer und alleinigen Ingenieur von SHOE Pedals, entwickelt. Das ZIO ist ein extrem flexibles Pedal, das für viele Anwendungsmöglichkeiten an verschiedenen Stellen im Signalweg genutzt werden kann: Am Anfang der Effekt-Kette, um den Gesamt-Sound zu verändern, nach den Drive Pedalen entweder als 'Tone Sweetener' oder als Clean Volume Boost, sowie am Ende des Signalwegs, um lange Kabelstrecken auszugleichen oder um den Klang einer Gitarre nachzubilden, die direkt in den Eingang des Verstärkers geht. Das ZIO lässt sich auch im FX-Loop nutzen, um die Endstufe in die Sättigung zu bringen oder um einen Level-Unterschied zwischen zwei Kanälen auszugleichen. Das Wort 'ZIO' ist ein Akronym für Impedanz ('Z' ist das elektrische Symbol für Impedanz), Eingang (Input - 'I') und Ausgang (Output - 'O'). Das Pedal ist so konzipiert, dass es das hochohmige Signal einer Gitarre aufnimmt, den Sound mit einer der vier Preamp-Schaltungen aufwertet und ein starkes, niederohmiges Signal ausgibt, das nicht durch die gebufferten Dry Tones von Effektpedalen im weiteren Verlauf der Signalkette verändert wird. Rauscharme High-Fidelity Burr-Brown Op-Amps geben dem Source Audio ZIO eine extreme Klarheit und ein schnelles, dynamisches Ansprechverhalten und erhalten gleichzeitig den Charakter und die Wärme des Instruments. Das ZIO bietet vier wählbare Preamp-Schaltungen: JFET bietet einen komplett transparenten Signal Boost ohne Färbung oder Verzerrung. LOW-CUT reduziert 'mulmige' Bass-Anteile für einen strafferen Sound mit zusätzlichem Headroom. STUDIO wurde vom altehrwürdigen 'Pultec Trick' inspiriert - einer Studio-Technik, die Klarheit im Sound schafft und 'Schwammigkeit' im Signal reduziert. E-PLEX fängt den fokussierten, subtilen Grit der Vorverstärker ein, die in Vintage Tape Delays zu finden sind. Der Tone-Kippschalter des ZIO bietet drei verschiedene Kapazitätsstufen (oder simulierte Kabellängen), um den Klang aufzuhellen oder abzudunkeln.

The Source Audio ZIO is an all-analog preamp/boost pedal that includes a choice of four distinct preamp circuits, each with up to +20dB of additional output boost. The goal in creating the ZIO Analog Front End + Boost was simple yet ambitious: 'Make Everything Sound Better!' ZIO is Source Audio's first all-analog effects pedal and designed in collaboration with Christopher Venter, the owner and sole engineer at SHOE Pedals. ZIO is a deceptively flexible unit that can serve many different purposes at various places in your signal path. Use it at the front of your chain of effects to shape the rest of your outgoing tone, after your drive pedals as an overall tone sweetener or clean volume boost, or at the the end of your pedalboard to drive a long cable run or as a restorative device to recreate the sound of your guitar going directly into the input of your amplifier. You can also use the ZIO in your amp's effects loop if you want to drive your power amp even harder, or to compensate for a level mismatch between two channels. The word 'ZIO' is an acronym for Impedance ('Z' is the electrical symbol for impedance), Input ('I'), and Output ('O'). The pedal is designed to take a guitar's high impedance signal, sweeten the tone with any of its four preamp circuits, and output a strong, low impedance signal that won't be altered by the buffered dry tones of effect pedals further down the signal chain. High fidelity, noise-free Burr-Brown op amps help give ZIO extreme clarity and responsive pick dynamics, while maintaining ideal body and warmth. ZIO has four distinct preamp circuits. JFET offers a completely transparent signal boost with zero coloring or distortion. LOW-CUT reduces 'tubby' bottom-end for a tighter sound with added headroom. STUDIO finds inspiration from the time-honored 'Pultec Trick', a studio technique that adds clarity by cutting the 'mud frequencies' and adding mid-range articulation. E-PLEX captures the focused and subtle grit of the preamps found in vintage tape delay units. The ZIO's Tone toggle offers three different levels of capacitance (or simulated cable length) to brighten or darken the tone.

Die Pitch Fork von Electro Harmonix in unserem aktuellen bonedo-Test beweist einmal mehr, dass auch Pitch-Shifter Effektpedale inzwischen für jedes Budget erschwinglich sind. Dieser Effekt, der in den Achtzigern in einigen berühmten Gitarrenaufnahmen auftauchte, war damals für uns “normale” Musiker kaum erschwinglich. Aber diese Zeiten haben sich glücklicherweise geändert. Pitch-Effekte sind inzwischen im Effektangebot vieler Hersteller zu recht günstigen Kursen zu finden.

The EHX Pitch Fork transposes an instrument’s pitch over a +/- three octave range and features three modes which allow the pitch to be transposed up, down or both, simultaneously. The pitch shift amount can be set to a fixed interval or continuously varied by an expression pedal or control voltage.

Step on Zelzah, play one chord, and you’re instantly taken back to a world of classic phaser tones as they were always meant to sound, perfectly voiced, with tons of vibe.

Vintage 4-stage and 6-stage phasing with controls that allow seamless transitions to vibrato, gorgeous flanging and chorus, and new sounds never heard before—all instantly musical with great tone all the way across every dia


Zelzah is actually two different phasers, side by side in one pedal.

 Zelzah’s 4-stage side gives you a wide array of classic tones ranging from phasing to vibrato and more, while the 6-stage side provides phasing, flanging, chorus, and all points in between. Dial in a chorus on one side and barber pole phaser on other, or a phaser on one side and tremolo on the other. Use the two sides independently or together in a variety of configurations. 

Zelzah may become the only modulation pedal you keep on your board.

Capharnaüm ist roher, chaotischer Fuzz mit Biss – laut, lo-fi und kompromisslos. Mit gezackter Sättigung, aggressivem Low-End und bröckelnder Gating-Struktur liefert er pure Zerstörung. Scorch formt den Klang, Wrath stapelt Texturen – wenn Ordnung endet, beginnt Capharnaüm.

Capharnaüm is raw fuzz with a serrated edge—loud, lo-fi, and full of chaos. It delivers jagged saturation, gated sag, and aggressive low-end punch. With tone-sculpting Scorch and dual-texture Wrath, it thrives where polish ends and mayhem begins. No cleanup. No compromise.

Capharnaüm

Ein reaktives Distortion-Pedal mit gestapelten MOSFET-Gain-Stufen. Der Mo(s)Ghoul liefert dynamischen Crunch, gesättigte Leads und fuzzige Texturen – immer musikalisch, nie steril. Die passive 3-Band-Klangregelung erlaubt präzises Formen ohne Härte. Organisch, lebendig, direkt – der Ton folgt deinem Spielgefühl.

A reactive distortion pedal built around cascading MOSFET gain stages. From thick rhythm crunch to saturated leads and fuzz textures, the Mo(s)Ghoul stays dynamic and expressive. Its passive 3-band EQ lets you scoop, boost, or contour without harshness. Raw, organic, and responsive—always alive under your fingers.

Dark Star ist ein charaktervoller Lo-Fi-Reverb – ideal für langsame Anschläge und die Erzeugung atmosphärischer Pads. Rund um den Kernklang bieten zahlreiche Regler Möglichkeiten zur Klangverfremdung: Signalabbau, Filterung, Pitch-Shifting, zusätzlicher Delay sowie nützliche Parameter wie Mix und Volume.

Für maximale Integration in verschiedenste Setups verfügt der Dark Star über Stereo-Ein- und Ausgänge, analoges Dry-Through sowie wahlweise Trails- oder True-Bypass-Schaltung. Presets, Expression-Steuerung für jeden einzelnen Regler und vollständige MIDI-Kontrolle über sämtliche Parameter runden das leistungsstarke Feature-Set ab.

Ein Reverb für jede Position in deiner Signalkette – fast schon ein eigenes Instrument.

Dark Star is a characterful lo-fi reverb, ideal for slow attack and pad generation. Around the core voice are a number of controls for signal degradation, filtering, pitch shifting, added delay, and utilities like mix and volume. For integration into many different rigs, Dark Star has stereo in and out with analog dry through and trails or true bypass switching. Presets, expression control over every knob, and MIDI control over every element round out the robust feature set.  This is a reverb for anywhere in your signal chain, and almost an instrument of its own.

Shallow water
K-Field Modulator

Poolside conversations while staring at your own reflection. The depths of which shall never be known, at least not for another couple thousand years. So it goes.

Before the reflection, is the experience. Before phenomena, or even noumena, is that which is undefinable. That which has never been heard, that which will never be heard again and that which has always been heard but never listened to.

K-field (Simulation mathematics), an  undefined, two-dimensional, non-linear field where past and future forces interact at irregular intervals. Shallow Water generates this k-field by randomly modulating a short time delay to create unexpected shifts in pitch. The result is this non cyclical vibrato/chorus/flanger-type thing favouring old tape flavours.

The water is shallow on this side of the pool. Do not dive and you will not drown.
