No warm-up. The pedal board.

Here we are! My third blog to date! I plan on deleting one of my other ones, but so far I'm pumped about this one. An entire blog journaling my growth as a guitar player, and some of the fun gear I get a hold of or make myself.

There's really no warm-up into this blog. No introduction, really, or fanfare. I'm just getting started with our topic today, which is a pedal board. I will cover what guitars I have when I get there, and I'll talk about my experience/skill likewise. Just remember that this whole journal is talking about someone who's relatively new to this whole thing.

So...the pedalboard! I don't have many pedals yet. I only have a DS-1 and a Danelectric Tuner pedal. I'm currently trying to find a good Metal Overdrive, Ibanez TS9 Tube Screamer, and I'm looking to replace my Danelectric with a Boss TU-2 eventually, and maybe even find a good digital delay before I die. But for now, it's just these two pedals.This list clearly excludes a Noise Suprression Pedal, volume, and Wah pedal, but I'm too early on to get a hold of these, I think.

I plan on making my own pedal board. A ghetto rig requires a ghetto pedalboard, right? I really want to put the board inside a suitcase, for some reason. I can't explain why, but I just kept coming back to this idea so I'm giving in. I want to have the board itself suspended in the case some so I can get some sort of general power source running underneath whatever platform I find to get the pedals running. I got my Danelectric pedal today. Tomorrow, I'm buying an old suitcase, velcro, and Dr. Pepper. By the end of Spring Break next week, I will have a pedal board!

Sorry it was a super simple blog today, but in the next two days I'm going to try and get the actual pictures posted of my gear and the materials I'm using to make the future gear happen.
