The BEST MINI PEDALBOARD I've ever made!

[@diegoebustamante]

I am a sucker for mini boards, great video man!

[@nobesmusic]

Man they are so cool! Thanks a lot 🙏🏽

[@rageflash9]

i'm simple man: i see a small versatile pedal board i watch, i click, study, take notes and appreciate.

[@nobesmusic]

Yesss, simplicity is life giving

[@rageflash9]

@@nobesmusic simplicity is the ultimate sophistication brother i always say

[@noahboorman]

I 100% recommend a boost pedal for everyone, you need to put it before an overdrive. If you have room I'd recommend 2 overdrives, one transparent (example - Morning Glory by JHS) and one that adds lots of mids (Example - The Charlie Brown by JHS). then can boost into either overdrive and have so many different sounds. This video also shows and overdrive is great for ambient sounds.

[@nobesmusic]

Totally! And you always boost it clean without the overdrive as well. And yea those JHS pedals are legendary!

[@pcsterry]

I use a Boss LS-2, 2 level boosts

[@noahboorman]

@Terry Pang I currently use 'the hermit' by saturnworks as a boost

[@nobesmusic]

@@pcsterry that’s killer!

[@jerryhorton5708]

Nice tones-to-go

[@nobesmusic]

No doubt! Thanks for watching

[@williamdevlin366]

Thank you for this video man! I’m working on a first board & it’s crazy what stuff you can do on a minimal platform. I’m an old bluegrass guy with a Strat & a blues jr. Lovin it!

[@nobesmusic]

For sure! Thanks for watching. I totally agree, and this setup would be killer for that sound!

[@johnnycarathers9636]

This sounds amazing man. Great job.!!

Thanks a lot!

Dang what a board 💪🏼

[@nobesmusic]

Thanks it’s so sick!

[@mikemattingly5825]

Very well done. This is amazing.

[@nobesmusic]

Thanks a lot! It was such a fun build

[@kirbyjakescarborough4515]

Excellent board and great tones mate! I have a Julia pedal I love. Well done, Cheers!

[@nobesmusic]

Thank you! Yea I love the Julia, I’ve thrown it on this board before

[@nathanfichter8629]

I have 3 Julia pedals. I'm not sure, but I might have a problem 😬

Cool stuff !

[@nobesmusic]

Thanks!

[@abdulrahmanmarhaban3290]

Super simple built by a superman of music 😂

[@nobesmusic]

Haha thanks so much

[@EPIXFLATZ]

I feel like a Jackson Audio Bloom would fit well where that boost pedal is. And that way you have compression, EQ, AND BOOST all in 1 pedal without compromising space. Making your board even more versatile

[@nobesmusic]

Yes totally! That would be killer. This is a niche little walrus board so I’m always rearranging it with walrus pedals. I have the 385 MKii know which has two drive settings on it so it’s killer!

[@Grant_Ferstat]

ARP87 looks like a very cool compact delay. I've been looking at the Keeley Halo for a small board, but this one probably should go into the mix.

[@nobesmusic]

Dude it’s epic!! The secret chorus and tremolo delay settings are killer. And having the tap is crucial

[@leftythirteen]

I just discovered the guy whose harmonizing along with razor (using phrygian mode). You're a pedal guy as well?! Wow.

[@nobesmusic]

Omg 😂 yea I’ve always done this. That was just a fun video I just put out for fun haha. This is what I actually do 🤙🏽

[@reverendg5937]

Thanks

[@traceyoungs1637]

Very cool!

[@nobesmusic]

Thanks! So much fun

[@danieljdtaylor]

Amazing sounds from such a small set of pedals! I’m currently putting a board together this size and have taken a lot from how you use just a few pedals to get big tones

[@nobesmusic]

Man that is awesome! Thank you, that means a lot. With the right arrangement you would’ve be able tell you’ve got a small setup. Let me know how it goes, dm me with a picture on IG, I’d love to see it!

[@danieljdtaylor]

@@nobesmusic Will do man! So far I'm working with a Boss TU-3, Xotic BB+ for my drive and a Boss DD-8 for delay/reverb, just looking for something to fill a fourth slot. Those Walrus pedals really provide great inspiration though so I might have a look into those!

[@nobesmusic]

@@danieljdtaylor that sounds killer! And yea the Fathom is probably my favorite mini reverb I’ve ever played. It’s super versatile!

[@Basement_Dweller]

That's a killer setup and I'm a sucker for Walrus pedals. Do you have any issues hitting the bypass/tap temp switches that are close together? (like the Arp 87 and the Fathom)

[@nobesmusic]

I know same! And yea that’s definitely something I have to think about when tapping. It has happened, but I usually just got watch where I step!

[@bobisadrummer]

The Fathom, specially the lower octave sonar control, is one of my favorite reverbs, just wish I could turn the modulation off completely instead of just low. The Fathom also has a secret delay+verb mode like how the ARP has the secret delay+trem mode.

[@nobesmusic]

Sonar is so good! I love that I can control the balance between low and high octaves. And I actually didn’t know that! Gotta check that out!

[@welkerroad]

Awesome video. These sounds sound great! Have you encountered any challenges when playing live? I’m curious as to how you could quickly change between sounds (different settings within each device). I’m wondering your thoughts on how this compares to say, a programmable pedal board? I’m in the market for something.

[@nobesmusic]

Thanks! Yea it’s a killer set up. I did a full tour with this thing. It worked great! Definitely more tapping than midi programming, but with only a few pedals, it’s not that bad. The tap tempo for delay is key though. Like, I don’t mind reaching down to to change the delay type, but to change the delay time from a knob every time is not efficient playing live

[@evinoc]

Cool board. The only thing I’d recommend is swapping the position of the arp87 with the od or boost so the dual foot switches are spaced more. Obviously in the same signal chain

[@nobesmusic]

Yea! That’s a great idea! Would totally help with tapping switches

[@musicmaestro88]

I can gift you some Barefoot buttons just because this is a spectacular video. Lol ​@nobesmusic

As long as you have walrus pedals, there is the EB10 which is excellent ;-)

For sure! I’ve been wanting to get my hands on one of those!

Hello, that is one nice pedalboard! I just put a small board together :)

[@nobesmusic]

@@PedalPoopers no worries! I’ll check it out

[@abcde3397]

nice pedal and demo! this is so cool.. do you think it will be possible to put deep six compressor instead of boost pedal here?

[@nobesmusic]

Thanks a lot! It was a really fun build. Yea you could put the boost there but the volume wouldn’t fit. The boost is small enough to get in there. But you could totally do a the deep six and then a small tuner at the beginning of the chain. Just no volume

[@sots0411]

do you reckon I can do something close using BOSS pedals? They have the input / output on the sides with might make it harder...

[@nobesmusic]

Yea the side jacks add too much spacing between pedals. You might be be able to just fit 4

[@winandd8649]

Which "isolated power supply" is that? I don't think it's isolated really, because it has a 9V input?

[@nobesmusic]

@@winandd8649 yea it’s not really isolated. It’s like a Moore power brick. But these are all analog pedals, or very low output from the tuner so it worked out fine for me

If I just have an amp, compressor, and reverb, how does that work? Guitar into compressor into reverb into amp?

Yep! That’d be a good order of signal chain

Yessir! But on tour I was using a fender deluxe from the backline company

For the tour I was using a Fender Deluxe but here I went into my Walrus Audio ACS1 Amp and Cab Simulator!

[@kimstep3153]

Almost the same sound & tone compare to big boards ... 😮 its not about heaps of pedal you have its about the player the guitar and who mix.....🎉🎉🎉

Right?! It packs a punch. But yea we’ll said! Thank you 🙏🏽

[@marcogman8905]

Pretty cool. However, I would have used a different pedal for the OD. kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2OYl2yEjJ10abc. I know Walrus supports you, but that Falcon is fits the era. Great job, brother. God bless.

[@nobesmusic]

That pedal sounds sick! If that pedal had top jacks it would totally fit. And thanks man, yea bunch of different pedals drive pedals could. The Ages just has too jacks and 5 different drive options in one, so it’s super versatile!

[@yurakolesnikov9725]

Highly doubt, Walrus overdrives are very questionable quality, arp is a usual delay. I would say replace this shitty overdrive with Broken Arrow and ARP with D1.

[@nobesmusic]

Wow, sounds like you’ve had a difficult experience. I’ve had a Walrus Audio pedal that has literally lasted me 10 years and it’s still kicking. Personally, I love Walrus Audio drives for the tone and build quality. I acknowledge your experience though 🤙🏽
