Small Pedalboard Demo
Last week I decided to put this small board together:
Here's a not-so-quick demo of each pedal followed by some pedal combinations:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkFDwkWik5M
It's a Temple Audio Duo 17 with a VoodooLab Pedal Power Mondo underneath and assembled with TourGear patch cables. For the demo, I'm playing a BiLT Relevator into a Milkman Amp 50 DI/cab sim into interface with no post-processing.
The signal path is:
Fairfield Accountant
EHX Pitchfork
OBNE Signal Blender with 2 EHX Mel9s
Land Devices + Vongon Onset
OBNE BL-37
EAE Sending V2 with OBNE BL-44 in the fx loop and OBNE Ramper exp in
Finally, here's some build-shots, just for fun:

Not a small board by my definition, but still very cool.
A well done Temple board always looks so clean compared to my velcro mess where everything is a little cockeyed.

Pretty cool.
If your ‘small board: has 10 pedals, how many on your other board??

The Duo 17 feels small compared to my other boards, haha - Trio 21. Trio 28. and a 40x16 flight case.marqueemoon wrote: ↑Thu Oct 26, 2023 4:38 pmNot a small board by my definition, but still very cool.

Thank you!
Well, here's the medium board:

Re: Small Pedalboard Demo
The blended Mel9s is a cool sound.
Really makes me want to give the parallel effects thing a try.

Re: Small Pedalboard Demo
so lately me and a friend have been testing the waters on doing a gig in finland together and i've been playing around with the idea of a pedal board that can fit in my suitcase along with a week's worth of clothing. it's been a fun thought experiment, granted, i'd probably have to go smaller than you but still.
but i think it's a fun way to think of pedalboards. what is the least we can get away with and still sound like ourselves.
p.s. love seeing OBNE pedals. they do my favorite delay and my favorite reverb ever.

I was discussing a small pedal board setup that would cover all my needs last night:s_mcsleazy wrote: ↑Sat Oct 28, 2023 3:38 amso lately me and a friend have been testing the waters on doing a gig in finland together and i've been playing around with the idea of a pedal board that can fit in my suitcase along with a week's worth of clothing. it's been a fun thought experiment, granted, i'd probably have to go smaller than you but still.

2 fuzz pedals and an H90, instead of 2 turntables and a microphone.

Re: Small Pedalboard Demo
Small? That’s my large board.
I use a Duo 17 for my gig board and a 9” X 9”, cut down Solo 18 for my home board.

Re: Small Pedalboard Demo
Thank you! Loved this. I really wish we had more board content like this! Thinking of making a thread. I’ve got a few pedals I want to grab, but I may do one similar. Except mine will be a large board. Albeit, probably not as organized and no special loop switching stuff. Anyway…did not know about those 2 OBNE pedals on the left. Very cool sounds coming out of those

I've had a couple parallel blenders over the years - it's such a blast to try different combos in parallel, the Mel9s are just the latest for me.marqueemoon wrote: ↑Fri Oct 27, 2023 5:53 pmThe blended Mel9s is a cool sound.

I really like the Trio size and have a Trio 21 (pictured above) and Trio 28 (still building it out) but life has been much easier since I stopped playing out, haha. That's really been the kicker for making these boards.
Thanks! Here's a couple "finished" tracks using this board (usually I'll just record myself noodling around until I come up with something and, if it catches me, I'll play it a few more times, then cut the best take out of the bunch for a video):Unicorn Warrior wrote: ↑Tue Oct 31, 2023 10:55 amThank you!

I had a Duo 24, but I’m down to a relatively few pedals at this point, so I went to a Duo 17, with Cioks power supplies. I am a major fan of Temple Audio boards.
