beefing up the gt100

[sundance_kiddsg]

here's my setup, hooking a vp jr in the sub exp and an ernie ball wah (strictly for that consistent look, am rather shallow that way)

previously the two pedals were paired with my tc nova system

Beyond the GT, why the extra stuff?

Beyond the GT, why the extra stuff?

i have an unnatural affinity for expression pedals...
i tend to prefer multiple delays (with or without modulation) always on but fading the delayed signals in/out with the expression pedals.
as my patches on the gt100 will have 1 long and 1 short delay, i need two exp pedals to act as faders, hence i need a separate wah.
one of my favorite mfx has been the tonelab se, which had two expression pedals, which i augmented with a vox 847 wah..

Man that's some super clean boards!! Are you into ambient type stuff?? I would guess that with all of the expression pedals. Can you tell me where you got that big piece of velcro for the GT-100 board?? I would love to build myself something like that..

[sundance_kiddsg]

yeah, glenn, that board with 4 ernie balls was during my "ambient muisc" phase.
didn't last long though...
my love affair with expression pedals started after watching steve morse many years ago.
the gt100 hasn't been velcroed down yet.
it's just sitting on a 75cmx29cm plywood board i painted black shortly before that picture was taken.
but for my other boards, it's usually just simple two-inch strips from the local hardware store.

at 3:25 and 4:12, you get a glimpse of the board i was refering to.. 5 expression pedals in all..

I quite often use Pedal Bend and Wah in the same solo, I find it much easier to have a designated wah pedal, less tap dancing. Unfortunately my wah (Bad Horsie II) just died on me.
I was thinking about buying the roland expression pedal (the name escaping my mind right now) and using it for a PB and using the wah on the GT-100, that way I could still use the GT as a volume pedal in the same patch as well. You can assign an external expression pedal to control PB cant you?
oh yeah, and I was just wondering, does anyone think that the PB on the GT-8 sounded better than the one on the GT-100? I havent tried any different placements, but it seems kinda....weak?

If you're referring to the carpet covering I did that to a couple of my pedal boards. It's called Ozite. I covered all top surfaces of the board with Ozite and used Industrial Strength Velcro 2" wide for any pedals including the GT's. My GT-100 isn't mounted yet but on the GT-10 I cut out pieces to fit the rubber feet. You could just pull off the feet and use a couple of strips. Don't cover the entire bottom of the GT or you may never get it up again. A piece on each rubber foot or 2 strips should be plenty.

Here's my GT-10 mounted:

Glenn,

If you are trying to secure the GT100. I found the best method was to remove a few of the screws in the back (4 to be exact) and find longer versions. Secure the GT100 through the back of the pedalboard using the longer screws and washers. This make it super secure. I was worried about velcro with the unit being so heavy. I was able to find the screws are either home depot or lowes.

I hadn't thought of that. I shared a bill with a player who had a very cool homemade pedalboard (with some cool pedals), and all his pedals were attached in that manner. It was FAR more ambitious than anything I've done.

Peace,

Heya Glenn... instead of building I bought... OSP FX2032 case holds a GT and other things nicely:
