Back in the 90s, just like most of the people on the planet, I got into some Soundgarden. As an early guitarist, I was interested in Kim Thayil’s guitar/tone/tunings. I would always here about his alternative tunings, and some of the tones he would pull off were memorable. I think as a guitarist, it’s important to make memorable parts. Not necessarily leads, but something where you can put your thumb print on. Kim has an original sound and definitely leaves his mark all over the place.

I was stoked to see that they went back on tour. A few of my friends were able to see them, and was glad to hear that they’re as good as ever.

Recently, Premier Guitar did a Rig Rundown on the band, but I wanted to focus on Kim Thayil’s pedal board for this post

Here is a break down of pedals on Kim’s board. Also, looks like he’s using some pedal labels from PedalLabels.com!

Dunlop MXR/CAE MC404 Dual Inductor Wah
Mesa Boogie Electra-Dyne Footswitch

This is my current set up for bass guitar.  With this board I can easily and endlessly dial in psychedelic soundscapes, synth tones, wet slurpy filters, dub sub bass, and everything in between.  My 1 rack unit which goes into my amps loop is the Aphex 204 Aural Exciter w/ big bottom.  My pedal chain goes like this:

Bass > MXR Bass Compressor > Iron Ether Oxide Fuzz >  Pigtronix Mothership (18v version modified for low end tracking) > Aguilar Octamizer > Iron Ether Xerograph Deluxe > Jacques Trinity > Strymon Mobius > Eventide Space >  SFX Thumpinator  >  Fuzzrocious BDPG  > 3Leaf Audio Enabler >  Amp *Genz Benz Shuttle Max 6.0 (with the Aphex 204 in the Amps loop).

I currently play a Lakland 55-01 bass guitar.  Listed next is a information about each pedal in the line and some possibilities of how they interact:

MXR M87 Bass Compressor -  This compressor is extremely transparent. I use it to roll off dynamic peaks in my playing while still maintaining dynamics in technique.  Mostly the only time it is squashing anything is when I play too hard on the low B string. Ensures that I don’t spike hard using some of the more extreme effects that use sub frequenices (Octamizer and Mothership).

Iron Ether Oxide -  Fantastic gated fuzz.  I’m considering switching this out for a Chunk Systems Brown Dog, but for now it stays.  I usually keep a tight fuzz on the very top of the frequency range to get a saw wave synthesizer energy.  I also use it to “check” all of my modulation options in the other pedals.  If I have even the most subtle phase for instance I can kick on the fuzz and get a clear idea of how the tone is being modulated.  It’s also a great way to accentuate any modulation and filter sweeps using a bit of fuzz on top.

Pigtronix Mothership – Analog synthesizer that has a clean blend, sub octave, vco, and ring mod.  Lots of options on this pedal including whammy expression, sub octave out, and glide.  Very tweakable and a wide range of synth tones can be dialed in with this unit.  It can be somewhat wild and taming tones to a nice unity gain can be tricky but in my opinion it’s the best stompbox style synth that exists.

Aguilar Octamizer -  An analog octave pedal with a clean blend.  This pedal tracks really well and there are some really deep synth tones that can be pulled from it and is mainly what I use it for.  Yes, I like synth.

Iron Ether Xerograph Deluxe – Low pass and envelope filter of the gods.  I use this pedal mainly as a low pass and pull a really specific sub/dub bass range with it.  The clean knob allows me to blend back in my bass’s flat eq and add some bright mids/highs to a nice thick dub background.  Very cool and tweak-able pedal.

Jacques Trinity -  Envelope wah pedal.  I use it mainly for filter sweeps with a fuzz or synth by pressing/depressing it’s unique expression pedal/pump.  I’ve always found typical expression/wahs to be awkward to use by having to lift my foot off the ground and adjust the pedal back and forth.  The pedal that comes with the Trinity is a small pump that has a pretty great range.  I just sit my toe on the pump and rock it back and forth to get quacky envelope sounds or wide filter sweeps.

Strymon Mobius -  A universe of modulation that is vast and deep.  The 100 presets alone are enough to explore for a very long time.  Mostly I use it for psychedelic modulation effects that include chorus, flangers, bubbly filters, autoswells, bit crushed synth sounds, etc, etc.  This is a very diverse pedal and an end all to modulation for anyone’s pedalboard.

Eventide Space  -  Like the name implies, this is where the soundscapes happen.  Lush fields of reverbs/delays that shape all of the pedals in front into endless voids or distant sirens. With 100 legit factory presets it is hands down the best reverb/sonic-soundscape-maker out there.

SFX Thumpinator – This pedal is a bandwidth optimizer for bass guitarists.  It completely obliterates sub harmonics that exist below 30hz.  Most amps/speakers/systems can’t handle frequencies this low but those sub harmonics peak their heads up every so frequently damaging speakers and adding unwanted mud.  Having this little pedal on the board makes sure all the craziness that lies before it doesn’t get muddy and too shaky and tightens up the low end dramatically. Awesome tool for any bassist in a studio or live application.

Fuzzrocious BDPG – The “Broke Dick Peanut Gallery”  is a one of a kind overdrive/preamp for bass guitar.  3 knobs – gain>volume>tone.  The tone stack goes from really dub scooped tones to bright metal highs and everything in between.  It’s the best tone shaping tool on my board and helps to breath new life into the effects before it.

3Leaf Audio Enabler -  The Enabler is another preamp at the end of the board.  It is very warm/tube like and can help shape tone a bit further.  It also has a great DI out so I can go straight to the front of the house at any venue bypassing amp/eq/di if I am backlining and not wanting someones amp to color my tone too much.  It also has an Aux in and a Headphone out for practicing with a metronome/beat machine and using headphones.

My amp has a nice parametric eq that I tweak a little but for the most part keep flat and transparent (which it does well) and let my tone shape up mostly on my pedalboard.

Lastly I run the Aphex 204 Aural Exciter with Big Bottom in my amps effects loop.  The Aural Exciter cleans up frequencies in the low end and brings out more tight low bass while not increasing volume.  It is very helpful for large venues with subs and really shakes teeth in the front row,  I usually run my DI to the FOH from my amp so the Aural Exciter is applied only when I use my amp.

That’s all for my current set up.  It is a dream come true to own such a wide range of effects from nearly all of the best boutique builders in the business.  I am really happy with the quality and consistency of each effect on this board.  If you’d like to hear this effects chain in action look for me playing gigs in the Denver/Boulder/Fort Collins area with my two bands “Realifeactual” and “Star Count”.

This is my semi-home-brew effects rig that I am currently using with Argyle Gangsters.  Check us out at argylegangsters.com or on reverbnation/facebook!

In Order

-Polytune
-Ross compressor circuit with mods (Black sparkly 1590BB)
-Color Sound Fuzz clone with modded freq filtering
-Wahtergate autowah
-The Purp Double Octave and Fetzer Boost
-Fulldrive 2 (sounds great with my two modded Vox AC4s but doesnt get along with some of my other low wattage tube amps
-Stage 3 Booster (pcb board can be acquired from guitarPCB.com/kit from mammothelectronics.com)
-Modded block logo MXR Phase 90
-MXR Carbon Copy (perfect just the way it is)
-Hall of Fame Reverb (usually sits under the back tier since it is always on)
-MXR Smart Gate (New addition that helps tame the Fuzz and Stacked boosts since I crank my little amps away.  Thanks for the Amazon Tip on your blog! I picked up one for myself and one for a guitarist friend who blasts through a Vox AC30.  In both applications this gate does a wonderful job and is pretty transparent with minimal setup.  Cheaper than I coulda built em too.  Thanks for saving me some money!)
-FruitLoop (Offboard to switch from guitar to bass quickly and to switch my amps)
-EBS MultiDrive (Bass)

I am currently building a Delay (Eye of the Tiger), Tremolo (Zebra Trem), and Klonlike Overdrive (Golden Sunset) which will be added to the current line.  The OD will replace the Fulldrive2 on the board for now.  Thanks for all the great info and for giving me a few hits to fuel my GAS addiction)

Hi!

My name is Panos Sakkos, I am 23 years old and composing mostly blues rock stuff

This is my current line up, which consists of

tc electronic polytune -> mxr amp (for boost whenever I need it) -> mxr 10 band eq (with mid boost always on) -> Big Muff Pi (12 o’clock settings) -> ehx nano holy grail (at 12-ish) -> whammy 5 (2 octaves up or 1 down), all powered by the mxr dc brick.
The Whammy 5 is controlled with the one trick pony cycle path 05 and my Fender Super Champ x2 controlled with its footswitch. The effect that I use on the SCx2 is the slapback delay

Cheers!
Panos

My name is Dean Mulone and I play guitar in the Boston based garage rock band Dirty Virgins (www.dirtyvirgins.bandcamp.com) .Our songs cover a lot of ground genre wise so I’ve sculpted my board around having to switch styles frequently, especially since our other guitar player only uses a big muff and tube screamer. I play a 1999 Fender Tex Mex Strat, and a 2004 Gretsch G5120 thru a 2001 Fender Tweed Deluxe with a 2×12 extension cab for shows and record with a modded Epiphone Valve Jr. Head thru said 2×12.

Boss TU2: Boring Tuner

Earthquaker Devices Speaker Cranker: a low-mid gain OD that is always on. Super awesome one knob (“more”) pedal that gives the best natural overdrive I’ve found. Even pushed a Paul C. Timmy off the board. Really opens up dirt pedals that come after it too, especially fuzz boxes

Fridge buzz electronics Land Of The Rising Fuzzz: old school shin-ei style fuzz. Give a great low-fi, zippery effect.

BlackArts Toneworks Pharaoh: super versatile fuzz that I mainly use as a beefy OD. Set to the low gain germanium settings that gives a nice fat rumble.

Earthquaker Devices Hoof: a modernized green Russian big muff clone that is my go to “destroy” pedal. All the awesomeness of the big muff with the ability to dial out the pesky mid scoop that gets you lost in the live mix

MXR Micro Amp: used for solos to pop out and as a signal booster to make sure the processing pedals later in the chain get enough juice

Dunlop Cry-Baby: a 1981 vintage wah that belonged to my uncle. A little grainy but I love it. I prefer to have my way after the dirt pedals to get a larger signal sweep, helps get that “AM radio” sound too

Mojo Hand Fx Sugar Baby: nice if fairly basic tremolo goes from subtle to choppy and everything in between. Good for our more country twang side

Earthquaker Devices Grand Orbiter: highly customizable phaser, not used often but has its place in a few songs and is very present and powerful when used

Electro-Harmonix Memory Boy: analog delay pedal used mainly for atmospherics and noise making in outros and intros

Earthquaker Devices Ghost Echo: reverb pedal and an awesome one at that, always on, sounds better than the stock reverb tank on my Deluxe

Thanks!
Dean

This last weekend, flipping through channels, I hit Austin City Limits. ACL is great. Sometimes hit and miss based on musicians I like, etc. But this Saturday, I changed to it and immediately recognized the band… or specifically the individual. We’re talking Bob Mould!

I remember being a Junior in High School listening to Husker Du. Can’t remember which album (doesn’t matter.. they’re all great). I remember it was on vinyl and one of my older friends ‘educating’ me on some music. Great education. But it was years later, when Bob blew my mind. It was the early 90s and I was super into his solo stuff. Black Sheets of Rain and Workbook on cassette. I remember Workbook was completely worn. You couldn’t read any writing on the tape. Was constantly rolling in my car in those days. His lyrics and capture of ‘mood’ was stellar and really hit the spot for me. Not too long after Sugar came out. Going back to some heavier, louder stuff again hit the spot for me. Sadly, I stopped listening to Mould after Copper Blue. I have no idea why.

Occasionally, I would hear a song or two on the radio or at friends, and every time, it made me think of good times. I really enjoy his music, and damn it, it’s time to re-explore. I was super stoked to see him on ACL.

Just like when Arcade Fire played on ACL, their blog showed their gear, and I was very stoked to see the pedals that Bob was using for that performance! Please check out Austin City Limit’s blog (I personally love following this blog).

photo taken by Kevin Chochran

So we’re talking the following for pedals:

Aphex Punch Factory (older style)
Electro-Harmonix Freeze
TC Electronic Flashback Delay
MXR M104 Distortion+
Boss TU-2 Tuner (Possible TU-3)
Boss NS-2 Noise Suppressor
Voodoo Lab ISO5 Power

Here is the Bob Mould performance. Give it a watch!

Hi. I’m a veteran bass player (26-year experience so far) from Bucaramanga, Colombia, South America, who just recently got bitten by the effects bug. Although several years ago I bought a Zoom multi-effects unit, I stopped using it just because most of its effect sounds were too “toyish” for me.

But around one year ago, I started reading so many rave reviews about the Microtubes B3K bass distortion/overdrive pedal from Darkglass electronics and, since I’ve always liked distortion, I decided to give it a try. So I ordered mine and when I received it, I simply couldn’t believe my ears. I mean, what a big difference compared to the Zoom distortions! The B3K is a REAL pedal.

After that experience, the “problem” was, I WANTED MORE PEDALS! So I started my research taking my favorite effects (not brands, just effect types) as an starting point. After LOTS of reading and deciding what I wanted, the final result is the one in the attached pictures. My friends at the TalkBass forums dubbed it “the USS Bad Muther F%$&er”. At least from the current offer in the market, I don’t want anything else regarding pedals.

So, here’s what I got:

- Loooper ABCD

- TC Electronic PolyTune

- Electro-Harmonix Bass Micro Synth
Love this one. A very versatile and great-sounding analog unit. The bass part from Van Halen’s “1984″ (yes, the synth prelude to “Jump”) sounds very convincing.

- MXR M82 Bass Envelope Filter

- Wilson 12-position vintage spec bass Q-wah

- MXR M87 Bass Compressor
One of the very few ones that has a detailed LED metering, which is a great visual aid for those of us not so experienced with compressors.

- Darkglass Microtubes B3K Bass distortion/overdrive
The one that started the fever. A great distortion/overdrive pedal for bass guitar.

- HardWire SP-7 Stereo Phaser

- DigiTech Whammy DT

- Copilot FX Planetoid Ring Modulator
Just for funny noises, actually. I must admit that I liked the Ringtone from ZVex demos more, but it’s way overpriced! The Planetoid is also great, anyway.

- Strymon TimeLine delay unit
This is a truly awesome delay/looper unit. Perhaps overkill for my needs, but its endless possibilities make it a worthwhile addition to any pedalboard.

- BSS Audio AR-133 Active DI Box

- Buzz Electronics Programmable Octo Looper
Everybody talks about Carl Martin’s Octa-Switch, which is undoubtedly a great unit, but this one is another terrific (and cheaper) product.

- PedalTrain Pro pedalboard

All of the above powered by three adapters: One Visual Sound 1-spot, the adapter that came with the DigiTech Whammy DT and the adapter from the EHX Bass Micro Synth. All of them plugged to a power strip tied to the bottom of the pedalboard (picture included). Neutrik plugs and Belden cable were used for connections.

And here’s an explanation of the effects path:

The Buzz Electronics Programmable 8 Looper is the “layout headquarters”. It has eight effect loops, an independent tuner out, a switchable internal buffer and two channels. Channel one covers loops 1 to 3 and channel 2 covers loops 4 to 8. Of course, each channel has its own In/Out jacks. The PolyTune is hooked to the independent tuner out.

The signal path starts on the Loooper ABCD, which is actually a box that can send one signal to several amplifiers, but it also can be used in reverse, as in my case: I use it to keep up to four basses plugged using the 1- 2 – 3 – 4 jacks and switch between them. So, the “In” jack actually works as “Out” in my setup. That signal from the ABCD box goes to the 8-Loop’s channel 1 in. The layout on channel 1 loops (1 to 3) is like this:

- No effect plugged to loop 1. I use it for different effects combinations.
- EHX Bass Micro Synth plugged to loop 2.
- MXR Bass Envelope Filter plugged to loop 3.

Then, channel 1 out goes to the Wilson Q-wah in, which means it isn’t included among the possible loop combinations. The wah’s out jack goes to the MXR compressor in, which is also out of the loop combinations, and is always on. Compressor’s output goes to the 8-Loop’s channel 2 in. Here’s the layout for channel 2 loops (4 to 8):

- Darkglass B3K assigned to loop 4.
- HardWire phaser assigned to loop 5.
- DigiTech whammy DT assigned to loop 6.
- Copilot Planetoid assigned to loop 7.
- Strymon TimeLine assigned to loop 8.

Next step in chain is the 8-Loop’s channel 2 out, which goes to the AR-133 DI Box input jack. From there, the signal goes to the FOH console through the balanced 3-pin XLR output and to the bass amp through the “Link” 1/4″ jack.

With the 8-Loop it’s pretty easy to combine the effect loops in any imaginable way. Most of the times I have each effect assigned to its own loop switch and use loop 1 to create combinations, but I can use all the eight switches to combine effects if I want to.

This is my YouTube channel, in which you can hear some of my effects in action:

A few days ago I got a Facebook message from one of the members of Preacherz of the Savage Truth showing me a photo of their bassists board. The board is for Matth Mullet who plays some pretty mean bass, and I thought it would be cool to if I could break down this board. Preacherz of the Savage Truth is a band out of Toulouse, France. For those of you that don’t know me, I am/was/will be a pretty big Cure fan, and these guys sucked me in a with a cover of ‘Cold’. I’ll present the video further down in the post.

Matth definitely has crafted a great board with a lot of tonal ranges for his bass. This is the breakdown of pedals. Like always, if you see anything incorrect, missing, or just want to comment, please do so by commenting below!

Today’s pedal line is from Andy Baker. 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 pedallineeffectsbaycom. Every Friday I’ll showcase a pedal line submission. Make sure you include any links to your band or music page.

Hi there, thanks for your kind comments on Twitter. You asked me to submit my pedal board for Pedal Line Friday. Here are my effects and a bit of history and background to my pedal collection/obssession:

My pedal board comprises of:

Gigrig Pro-14
Jim Dunlop Wah (with true bypass mod)
Ernie Ball Volume
Effectrode PC-2A Photo-Optical Tube Compressor
Ibanez Tube Screamer (Analogman mod)
Paul Cochrane – Tim
Pete Cornish P-2 Fuzz
MXR 10 Band EQ
MXR Phase 90
Hartman Analog Flanger
Eventide Pitchfactor
Strymon Timeline
T-Rex Room Mate Tube Reverb
Korg Pitchblack Tuner

Initially I started with a rack system with Mesa Boogie preamps and power amps, but then I noticed I preferred the tone and response from certain pedals such as a Tubescreamer and Boss CS-2 Compressor; therefore, I used those pedals in conjunction with my rack gear. The pedals then started to build up and before I knew it I was encasing my favourite stomp boxes in a rack system too (this was operated via GCX Switch System). Plus, I love Marshall Plexi 100 heads and I was running two into Palmer Speaker Simulators and that was fed via XLR cables into an A-B box; I would switch between heads which would go into a Lexicon  MPX1 and then stereo out into a Mesa Boogie 50/50.The size of my rack was gargantuan and as tall as a refrigerator.

If I was doing smaller gigs I would use the pedals encased in a rack with my Marshall Super Bass. Even though I really liked my tone, I was frustrated that I couldn’t boost solos with the GCX system I had; furthermore, I wanted to add more pedals. I was looking at various VCA options but then I discovered Daniel Steinhardts GigRig Pro-14; after careful consideration, I added the Tim, P-2 Fuzz and Nova Delay and had controlled via the GigRig Pro-14. This has changed a great deal since then and has installed the Strymon Timeline, Hartman Flanger and the Effectrode Compressor. Nevertheless, even though the Effectrode Compressor is wonderful and great for squishy tube lead lines, I do miss the chunky funky sounds from the Boss CS-2, and I believe certain pedals work extremely well with others. The CS-2 into the Tube Screamer sounds fantastic! Just doing a small gig with those two pedals does the job, saying this; the Effectrode Compressor – Tim – Timeline is one of the sweetest combinations of effects pedals I’ve heard.

I’m a sucker for experimentation and obsessed with infinite pedal combinations and just as I thought I was completely nuts, I’m about to install MIDI into the Pro-14, this is to link the GigRig Pro-14 with Eventide Pitch Factor and Strymon Timeline. As the Timeline has a looping function, I’m particularly interested in layering ambient sounds both from Timeline and Pitch Factor. Some of those swells Allan Holdsworth created on the Metal Fatigue album is something I’ve always wanted to aim for. The atonal lead lines Adrian Belew did on the King Crimson albums especially the harmonic squeals on Frame By Frame is also a strong influence. As well as being really fascinated with experimental options, I’m conscious about the integrity of tone and have always wanted to use a Smörgåsbord of colourful sounds.
