Effects Bay

Last week, I posted a video that I naively thought was David Gilmour’s pedal board. So, to make up for that, I thought I’d do some digging around this afternoon and find the real thing. This quest turned out to be pretty cool and learned a few things (especially more about Pete Cornish!).

At Harmony Central there was a post by Marc_G that showed David’s set up, which I’m showing below:

So, the ‘box’ got me curious. This is the custom pedal board by Pete Cornish, which he calls the Mk.2. Below is a photo of a Mk.2

I found this great interview with Pete Cornish where he goes into good detail. You can read the entire article here. I wanted to include a small excerpt from that interview showing what the pedals are in that particular board.

Pete Cornish Tube Buffer/ Demeter Compulator/ Send – Return #1 for additional effects if required/ Pete Cornish G-2/ Pete Cornish P-1/ 2 X BK Butler Tube Driver plus 2 X Pete Cornish Tube Buffer/ Send – Return  #2 for additional effects if required/ Boss GE-7/ Custom Volume Pedal insert/ Pete Cornish Tape Echo Simulator with Pete Cornish Tube Buffer/ MXR Digital Delay (Rack mount) with Pete Cornish Tube Buffer/ 2 X Outputs with Pete Cornish Tube Line Drivers. Send-Returns 1 and 3 have full range gain adjustments on the back panel so that any type of effects can be interfaced (pedal signal level or line level for rack units). Send-Return 2 is fixed gain at guitar level. One of the outputs connects to a rack mount Sound On Sound Interface.

If you’re interested in Pete Cornish and his pedal boards, please check out his web site.

Getting ready for the next installment of Pedal Line Friday, I found this nice little nugget on YouTube showing David Gilmour’s pedal board. Love seeing what people have in their lines. I’m also surprised, interested and/or jealous. Side note, this is my 101st post, didn’t realize post 100 came and went.

If you’re a gigging musician and have to pack up the gear and setup you know why I’m posting this. Currently, I have a couple of road cases for my gear, pedals, etc. I do NOT have a pedal board, and I feel like it’s finally time for me to pick one up. The idea of popping the top off of a case and basically ready for rock is starting to be very appealing.

I’ve looked a few models, and I think I want something simple and rugged. I’ve seen the ones that are powered, angled, etc, but something simple is very appealing to me.

Doing some looking, I saw the Road Runner effects pedalboard, and I think this might be thing I’m looking for. Do any of you have any recommendations?

Here is the official description about the pedalboard:

The Road Runner pedalboard is the safest and most convenient way to transport your valuable effects pedals to and from rehearsals and gigs. The base of these solid aluminum pedal cases are fully lined with Velcro while the lid is padded with thick nub foam. Road Runner includes self-adhesive Velcro tape for securely mounting your pedals. The pedalboard case features a nickel-plated steel spring handle, heavy duty hinges, and chrome plated butterfly locks.

Road Runner Effects Pedalboard Features:

• Solid Aluminium Case
• Small case Holds 4-5 pedals
• Large case holds 6-8 pedals
• Interior Covered With Velcro
• Including Self-Adhesive Velcro Tape For Secure Mounting Of Effect Pedals
• Inside Of The Lid Padded With Nub Foam
• Nickel-Plated Steel Spring Handle With Transparent PVC Covering
• Aluminium Edges And Chrome-Plated Corners
• PVC Feet

The price seems to be right, and I see it’s currently on sale at Musician’s Friend from $79.99 to $129.99 depending on the size. Hmmm… gears are turning.
