33The worst offender of this I’ve ever seen was Phillip Best setting up Consumer Electronics at Bezerktown in LA. The fest had already been shut down in glorious fashion and they managed to move the fest to another venue and get things rolling while only being an hour or so behind (I think).Garth wrote: Mon May 27, 2024 10:25 amThis probably does not need emphasizing since it's been clarified above but I'm going to do it anyway because I've seen so many guitar players completely derail a show schedule just by applying hard brakes during sound check for some crap patch cable not plugged all the way in or bringing a pedal they KNOW is dodgy. I cannot tell you how many times I've heard a guitar player say "yeah that thing always acts up." C'mon dude. And we've all seen and/or experienced some pedal getting unplugged or just not suddenly not working during a show and a befuddled, possibly a degree of high or tipsy guitar player not having any sort of competency diagnosing the issue.ChudFusk wrote: Sun May 26, 2024 7:20 pmLoose pedals are fine for home studios and unshared rehearsal spaces, but if you gig then you have to have some sort of board or case for your junk. People who take forever to set up and start their set because they have patch to a bunch of pedals together with janky wires should be blacklisted.TylerDeadPine wrote: Sun May 26, 2024 3:52 pm
That’s usually how it is. I am envious of tidy, less problematic setups, and I’ll get my stuff organized but then sure enough I’ll rip it apart soon after. Younger days I just remember these metalcore bands with pristine organized setups, making terrible music I figured the opposite must be correct
Feels like creating a troubleshooting flow chart for pedals is in order here or worthy of a separate thread. First thing I always suggest is plug straight into the amp. Eliminate or confirm the pedal board first. Works plugged in? Great. Guitar, amp, and cable can be assumed good before moving to the pedal board. Next, check power, then check all connections in sequence, both audio and power. Possibly unplug/replug everything as you go. This is where a pedalboard might have a disadvantage - the more permanent the setup, the harder it might be to find, remove, and replace a dodgy power lead or patch cable and these things can take a lot of banging about in transport, which makes a good use case for a padded bag/case.
Consumer electronics then took a full hour to set up a monumentally stupid live rig (I know), and when shit didn’t work Phil acted like a total goblin cock and berated the poor short notice sound person over and over. At the conclusion, it was a bad cable or something that CE brought. Then they played too long.
Re: Let Us See Your Pedalboard
34In one of my projects our guitar player works the graveyard shift. We played a gig where he'd been awake for 30+ hours. He COULD NOT get signal through his pedal board. Just bleary eyed and pushing on cables. I finally came out from behind my drums and determined he had left an overdrive on with the volume rolled to zero. I found it hilarious, but given his condition it was not a confidence booster right before the performance.

35I don’t know anything about that band, but based on their name, it seems like such an experience is to be expected.TylerDeadPine wrote: Tue May 28, 2024 12:22 am The worst offender of this I’ve ever seen was Phillip Best setting up Consumer Electronics at Bezerktown in LA.

36Whitehouse affiliated project/power electronics stuff. Not having one's shit in order when the board basically IS the band is a "you had ONE job" situation if I've ever heard one.ChudFusk wrote: Tue May 28, 2024 8:27 amI don’t know anything about that band, but based on their name, it seems like such an experience is to be expected.TylerDeadPine wrote: Tue May 28, 2024 12:22 am The worst offender of this I’ve ever seen was Phillip Best setting up Consumer Electronics at Bezerktown in LA.

37Pedalboard: Never had one. Not that i'm against them, just never quite got the need.
Current pedal situation (bass): Balls Super Black
Guitar player's current pedal situation: Rangemaster
Last time I played guitar in a band: Custom rangemaster (tuned dark, no knob, always full up) > Golden wah of unknown guts

...it would be comical though to see someone drag out a huge 3-tier pedal board and just have like a DS-1 or TU-2 - or maybe one of those teeny-tiny mooer/hotone/etc
I'll do this at the BBQ this summer, just watch.

Re: Let Us See Your Pedalboard
40I remember seeing a live clip of PLOSIVS where both Reis and Crow had Pedaltrain Classic Jr. boards (roughly 12x18”) with like three pedals each on ‘em, max. I had a chuckle.Garth wrote: Tue May 28, 2024 9:49 am
