“I made a pedalboard out of plywood and 2x4s, painted it red, and have been using it for 15 years,” writes Tim Howe of Spartanburg, South Carolina. “My band, Hot as a Pepper, plays almost every week, so it gets a lot of abuse, but always works great.” He uses this combination: Line 6 wireless unit to an RMC Teese Wizard Wah, EarthQuaker Devices Talons, Mooer Funky Monkey Auto Wah, TC Electronic PolyTune, Biyang Fuzz Star to the front of a Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier. In the amp’s loop are a Yamaha FL-10MII Flanger, TC Electronic Flashback Delay, Red Witch Empress Chorus, CMAT Mods Deeelay, and a TC Electronic Hall of Fame Reverb. The Mesa Footswitch is in front, and everything runs off a Dunlop DC Brick. A nice finishing touch: Howe keeps a brush in the middle of his pedals to keep them clean.
