How to Plan Your Pedal Board

Video Transcript

"Hi! This is Adam Anderson on behalf of Expert Village. I am here to talk to you about planning your pedal board. So the next step in assembling your pedal board is actually planning your board in advance. So it is very important to have an idea of exactly what you can put on your board before you start putting it together. It is important because you only have a very limited amount of space on your board to put your effects so you may have a various number of effects that you would like to put on your board but due to space constraints, you can't unfortunately put them all on the board. So the next step in assembling your pedal board is picking the effects you use most often in your band set. I usually choose the pedals that will fit on a board in the order of importance. So the first most important thing that I use when I am assembling my pedal board is a tuner pedal. The next is a noise gait or noise suppressor. Also use my equalizer pedal, a chorus and modulation pedal, a tremolow pedal and last but not least a digital delay pedal. The next thing you have to do in planning your board is figure out how to power up all of your pedals. There are various ways you can power your pedals. They all take batteries or you can power them up using AC adapters. The last thing you do when assembling your board is you figure out the order to actually put your pedals in. "
