    Putting together my first Pedal board- I got this pedal,plus an awesome Black Country Customs " The Secret Path" Reverb pedal... But totally new to all this... Can you do a video how to connect the volume with the reverb, like how and what to use? Show the visual how to connect it all please and thank you, God Bless!

      @@cassandrahuskey8866 hi there! You can check out my video on patch cables, but the answer to your question is pretty straightforward. Just plug into the volume pedal first with an instrument cable, then use a patch cable to connect to the reverb pedal. If your reverb pedal has two inputs/outputs, I’d go with the Left/mono input and output.

    @hardinberger3514 3 місяці тому

    Der Typ hat keine Ahnung von Kabeln. Sein Argument, dass Hendrix damals doch auch keine hochwertigen Kabel hatte, so wie heutzutage, ist doch dumm, denn Hendrix und seine Kollegen hatten auch nicht so viele Pedale auf dem Pedalboard wie heute und keine 4-Kabel-Methode - daher mussten die sich nicht um Tonverlust scheren. Ein Kabel nur danach zu beurteilen, ob es schöne flache Stecker hat bzw. auch haltbar ist, reicht einfach nicht aus. Die Kapazität sowie auch die Abschirmung sind bei den heutigen Gegebenheiten sehr wichtige Kriterien geworden. Da gibt es große Unterschiede zwischen den Kabeln. Und dann lobt er auch noch die EBS-Kabel. Gerade die sorgen für massive Klangverluste, so stark, dass sogar die Lautstärke spürbar nachlässt. Praktisch sind sie zwar schon - aber vom Klang her so ziemlich das Übelste, was es gibt. Bestenfalls noch brauchbar für Leute, die höhenreiche Gitarren und Verstärker haben, um das abzumildern. Aber auch das funktioniert nur bis zu einem gewissen Grad, denn ein einziges Pedal zuviel, macht dann den ganzen Klang zunichte mit diesen Kabeln. Außerdem reagieren die stark auf Einstreuungen. Es ist nicht leicht, das ideale Patch-Kabel zu finden, aber die von EBS und auch die baugleichen anderer Marken sind von den elektrischen Spezifikationen her nicht zu empfehlen - denn die machen sich auch unangenehm beim Klang bemerkbar.

    The board rocks out of the box. It had a bit of flex on the top deck where the two halves join. I’m OCD about gear so I did my mid to it. I mod all my guitars to suit me. The board is awesome as is but I’m kinda picky

    Good video sir. I just received my Holeyboard 123. Still have an original wooden one. I like this one better. I made some minor mods to mine to make it work better for me but those were personal choices. Overall I don’t think you can beat this board for the money.

      I wanted to mount the power underneath the top deck. I super glued rubber feet to the top of my CS 12. I zip tied it underneath the top deck so now I have a 1/2” of space to allow ties to be easily used to mount and change pedals on the top deck. There was a bit of flex between modules so I drilled a small hole and bolted the halves together to eliminate it

      Hello, I had a delay going into a reverb pedal. The key is to have your reverb mix and decay set really high. You can use a volume pedal for swells if you like, or just use your volume knob. Hope that helps.
