Layout and Wiring For Dennis
This was a challenging build! There is not a square inch available on this board. Everything had to be placed like a complex jigsaw puzzle.
It also received a handy interface box that fits beautifully in this Pedaltrain board.
Custom audio cables, custom MIDI cables, and two custom fabricated spacer plates brought this project together.
One obvious challenge with Pedaltrain-type pedalboards is fitting pedals between the rails. In this case, because the looper, E7, and DMC Micro are up front, this meant that the Rainger EchoX, B9, Mel9, Enzo and Particle all had to be mounted on the middle of a rail. So we fabricated two custom plates (one especially for the EchoX, and one big one for the rest) to span the gap and provide a solid foundation for Dennis to stomp on these pedals. Otherwise they would see-saw off the board into oblivion.
Enzo, Zoia, Blooper and Microcosm are all fully MIDI connected, providing endless sounds.
