    Today’s Show Me Your Pedalboard entry comes from Joe from LA! Joe’s working with a modest sized board with plenty of sonic options by Earthquaker Devices. Let’s take a look!

    Joe’s board starts off with everyone’s long-standing favorite tuning pedal the BOSS TU-2 Tuner, immediately followed by a signal kickstart into a Xotic EP Booster. Joe mentions that he plays guitar with a mix of single coils and humbuckers and the EP boost is perfect for getting your signal to pop, alternatively you can use a MXR Micro Amp or even various compressors. The EP Boost is followed by an Earthquaker Devices Palisades overdrive, then into Earthquaker Devices incredibly popular Rainbow Machine. The Rainbow Machine is a polyphonic pitch generator/modulator that includes a “magic” setting that allows you to get some really crazy sounds. I believe the magic setting is an “inverse delay”, there was a similar setting on the BOSS PS-3 Pitch Shifter/Delay that also made wacky sounds, but the Rainbow Machine is a beast of its own. Check out the PedalsAndEffects review here.

    Following the Rainbow Machine is a Moog MoogerFooger MF-102 Ring Modulator. I’m a big fan of these Moog pedals. I can’t get enough of that wood panel veneer. Other pedal makers are following suit for that classic look, like the Ibanez ES-2 Echo Shifter. The Ring Mod was an almost permanent staple during my Mars Volta days, check out how I used it in combination with other pedals on a track on a Volta track right here.

    After the Ring Mod is a Catalinbread Callisto Chorus/Vibrato followed by an Earthquaker Devices double team of the Hoof Fuzz, and the Dispatch Master reverb/delay. Joe’s chain ends in an Ernie Ball Volume Pedal. I would move the fuzz and the volume pedal higher up in the chain, but that’s just me.

    Thanks, Joe, for sending in your board! We love boards of all sizes, send yours in to juan@pedalsandeffects.com and it could be featured right here, at PedalsAndEffects!
