Hey guys, hoping I could get some advice here.
I am about to hardwire everything I own into a pedalboard and
rack setup, not literally, but I'd rather get it right first time.
First thing I was wondering, does anybody know of a 2U rack unit that would sit on top of an angled 4x12, and support my Rivera M100 head above it? That would be quite neat. Closest solution I thought of yet would be a couple rubber diving bricks to support the amp - not very elegant.
My main question is how to connect all of this stuff up. I don't use lots of effects, but I do need access to most effects at some point for both our setlist, and versatility. My main concern is to avoid the pedals sucking the life out of my tone.
Basically my proposed setup is:
Guitar straight into Morley Horsie and then Fulltone Clyde, then Pro Co Turbo Rat, then Guyatone OD-1 (all of which claim to be true bypass).
Then into Boss GE-7 which I use as a pedal booster for when I move to single-coil pickups, then direct to the Rivera.
At this stage, should I go through the BBE 362 and/or ProQ? Or should they go in the loop? I am considering putting the ProQ in the Slavemaster loop.
Then the loop of the Rivera contains a Zoom 9050 for digital reverb, noise reduction, chorus, delay etc when I use them.
What order would you guys suggest? Am I better moving more stuff into the loop(s)?
Advice from Rivera owners in particular appreciated,
Thanks in advance,
Jamie
