12. Wladimir Eenkhoorn: A Pedal Builder’s Board
My new main board for 2019 was designed by PL GuitarSystems. It’s my demo board for those willing to try out ToneStack Pedals, which is my pedal company. The Mooer Radar is an awesome addition for studio recordings. I started building commercial pedals in 2011 because I couldn’t find the sound I wanted in drives. I tried it all, and then I started building my own BYOC pedals and learned a lot. Then I started to experiment, and now I have my own brand! My current pedals are:
• Burlesque Drive by ToneStack (overdrive)
• Plexi Driver by ToneStack (also used by Dutch guitarist Robby Valentine)
• Sanskrit Drive by ToneStack (brown overdrive)
• Test version of the ToneStack Burlesque (Burlesque + pre-post line boost + send and return between)
• 1 Steamy Mother Fuzzer by ToneStack (fuzz extravaganza)
• Mooer Radar (speaker cab simulator)
• TalentBooster by Tonestack (Burlesque overdrive + line boost )
• Boss MS-3 Multi-effects Switcher
• Boss EV-30 dual expression pedal
• Underneath the board holds a T-Rex FuelTank Chameleon and a ToneStack Loop Extender for the MS-3, so it has an extra fourth or fifth loop (instead of just three)It’s that time of year, when Premier Guitar readers wow us with the intricate details of their pedalboards. A few highlights for 2019 include a surf board station, a bright board with LED lighting, a Nashville guitarist who gigs on Lower Broadway, and a pedal setup with no frills … and literally no board at all. (All this player needs is beer and broken glass.) As an added bonus, a pro pedal builder shares his demo board and tells us why and how he started building pedals from scratch. Read on, play on, stomp on!
