If you’re looking for inspiration for your next pedal board setup or you just love looking at awesome pedal board rigs, look no further!
One of my favourite parts about being a guitarist is experimenting with new effect pedals in my rig. By the way, if you are ever in Brisbane and want to check out an awesome boutique guitar shop, drop into Tyms Guitars.
The collection of pictures below will hopefully inspire you to continue experimenting with new sounds and new effects in the pursuit of tone.
Quick Tip – Pedal Board Setup
An important thing to remember when acquiring pedals is to use pedals to enhance your sound rather than to fix it. If your tone is bad and you’re adding various EQ pedals, chorus, reverb, overdrives etc to compensate for a bad sound, then you’re going about it the wrong way.
Start by plugging your guitar straight into your amp, pull a good sound, THEN start inserting effects into your signal chain. Take note of your guitar’s attack, volume and sparkle. When all your pedals are finally set up, turn them all off and your end sound should be no different at all if you unplugged from your board and went direct into your amp.
And one last extra pedal board, which is slightly different..

My favourite pedal board is 4th from the bottom..
It’s got good pedals but its also laid out really clean.
Very cool!
i have a question about powering my pedal board. i have 15 pedals to power and i was wondering if there was a way that i wouldnt have to buy two voodoo labs. i have the pedaltrain pro, so i could mount two but id rather not.
I use this pedal supply (Actron DCT100) which is smaller and cheaper than the voodoo labs. They power up to 8 9v pedals each + 2x 12 volt pedals. You could easily fit 2 of these on your pedal board, and they only cost $US80 each.
I wonder how there is any signal left by the time it gets through the chain of 25 Digitech pedals!
Haha.. so true!
Hey Danny.
Cool pictures bro. I recognise a few of those pedal boards actually.
In response to Brian Scheter’s question above, I’m sure you could run a daisy chain off the Voodoo Labs and power as many pedals as you like, provided you don’t exceed the available current.
So Danny, where can we post pictures of our own pedal boards?

As much as I love using FX pedals, most of these are just screaming latency issues to me.
