Kirk Fletcher Pedalboard
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 15, 2012
Here is a pedalboard that I did for Kirk Fletcher.
For the last two years, Kirk has been using a larger pedalboard that I built for him, however he was finding that with frequent trips to Europe and smaller sit-in gigs around town, that having a pedalboard with everything on it wasn't very practical to transport.
This pedalboard is smaller and incorporates some of the same pedals from the previous pedalboard, but also a few new ones based on Kirk's requests.
BEFORE (28" x 16") ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AFTER (23" x 12")
INTERFACE
Passive Input (no input buffer), Effects Break-Out (to add in effects off the pedalboard between the gain pedals and modulation/time-based pedals), Stereo Outputs (L and R outputs to two amplifiers with isolation transformer on R output and polarity switch)
POWER
Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2+
CABLE
Vertex Prototype Cable (small diameter)
CONNECTORS
Vertex 1/4" Connectors (R/A, Pancake, and Straight)
CUSTOM MODIFICATIONS
- Vertex Modified TR2 Tremolo (relay-switched true bypass, upgraded components, external level control)
- Vertex Modified TS9 (added Vertex Clean Boost with level control that can be used independently of the TS9)
- MXR Phase 45 (added relay-switch true bypass, LED, and DC power jack with current limiting circuitry)
SIGNAL PATH
Interface (passive), Korg Pitchblack Tuner, Vertex BC109 Fuzz, Lovepedal Tchula, Vertex Modified TS-9, Xotic RC Booster, Interface (break-out), MXR Phase 45, Vertex Modified TR-2 Tremolo, Boss DD-3 Delay, T.C. Electronic Hall of Fame Reverb (stereo), Interface (stereo outs)
