Today’s pedal line is from Jim Taylor. If you have a pedal line (doesn’t have to be in a board) for your rig, please email me a photo, bio, description of pedals and routing to pedalline@nulleffectsbay.com. Every Friday I’ll showcase a pedal line submission. Make sure you include any links to your band or music page.
Hello effects bay, this is the pedal line I use with my band “Soulgrass” Ive recently decided that I was dealing with too much floor gear on a nightly basis so I gutted my board, trimmed the fat and this is what I ended up with.
Guitar- Epiphone Dot, 96 MIM Fender Telecaster
Korg Pitchblack Tuner – Good tuner. Built like a tank.
Boss V Wah – Switched to this from a dunlop crybaby. Love the different models of wah to choose from(Morley, Vox, Crybaby) also a big fan of the univibe setting. Beware of the drive knob, it can ruin your tone.
Ibanez Tubescreamer – Standard, non modded. Levels cracked just beneath 12 o’clock to boost my amps natural break up.
Boss OC 3 – At first this pedal didn’t make the cut, but I’m glad I changed my mind. I use all three settings from song to song. I’ll use the poly mode with mild settings to fatten up 5ths, octaves and barre chords. OC 2 setting is good with a light chime volume and I personally like to add wah. I use the drive setting the most. Again beware, too much drive will just sound like a spoon hitting mashed potatoes.
MXR Analog Chorus – Great wet pedal. I’ll use mild settings with drive to get Alice N Chains tone or high settings with no drive for more of a Soundgarden affect.
Boss DD 6 – Another all purpose pedal. I find a use for all its settings but I mainly use it with mild settings to fatten up my sound then kick on tap tempo for leads and hooks
At this point in the line my signal will pass through a Boss GE7 and RV3. I leave them on all the time so I took them off the board.
