PB-V8 Build Process

With the downtime created by the COVID19 pandemic, I saw a great opportunity to dive in and add all of the updates and modifications I have been brainstorming about for the last year or so.

There were a few major goals:

1.   Remove as much 120V 60hz power and hum as possible
2.   Incorporate cabling flexibility for Amps and mono/stereo
3.   Include an ‘onboard amp’ option if possible
4.   Improve my compressor (remove 120V source)
5.   Add better MIDI control (add Set List option)


This triggered a few pedal purchases as well as finding a manufacturer for the hinged bridge riser. I had planned on building one myself, but discovered a great resource at fixpedalboards.com and gave them a call. Not only did they have a pretty sweet bridge riser just come out, but they also stocked a usable selection of pedal risers to replace the wood blocks currently providing elevation.

 

Pedal purchases included:

*   Compressor – Origin Effects Cali76 Stacked Edition
*   Amp Sim / IR CAB – Strymon Iridium
*   Tuner – Peterson StroboStomp HD
*   MIDI Controller – Selah Quartz V3 & Q:Expander (Awaiting Stock) 
*   Power Supplies – CIOKS DC7 & CIOKS 8 Expander

 

Assembly Hardware:

*   Bulk Cable – Mogami 2319
*   Cable Plugs – Squareplug SP400 & SP550-S
*   Cliff TRS Jacks & colored Rings – TME-eu
*   Hammond 1590CBK Enclosure – Tanner Electronics
*   26″ Hinged Strymon Bridge – Fix Pedalboards
*   FP-5X Pedal Riser – Fix Pedalboards
*   Mounting Misc – T-Nuts and screws
