Chapter 1

SR- steve

N- Natasha

T- Tony

B- Bucky

BR: Bruce

SW: Sam

The hum of fluorescent lights buzzed through the empty venue, mixing with the low strum of Steve Rogers’s bass as he tuned lazily from a stool near stage left. The afternoon sun filtered through the high windows of the converted warehouse, casting amber lines across rows of empty folding chairs, and hitting Steve's face causing his blue eyes to sparkle. Beside him on the floor was Natasha Romanoff, who had her electric guitar besides her while she was reading the scattered music sheets. It was hours before doors would open for their sold-out show in New York.

Across the studio, Tony Stark knelt beside his pedalboard, a tangle of wires spread around him like techno-confetti. He muttered to himself while switching out patch cables with the precision of a bomb technician.

SR :Tony (pausing his tuning). You planning on finishing that pedalboard before the actual gig, or should I start handing out refunds now?

T: (shooting him a grin without looking up) This, Captain rhythmic integrity, is how you chase greatness. Do you want the bridge of Age of You to punch the soul or just tap it politely on the shoulder?

N: (rolling his eyes) Just don’t blow out Sam’s mic again.

As if on cue, Sam Wilson bounded onstage, hoodie hood pulled up, sunglasses still on despite being indoors.

SW: You guys fighting again? (grabbing his mic and spinning it once in his hand before giving a few warmup shouts). Because if I have to mediate another ego-off between you two, I want hazard pay.

SR: (having his hands up) We're not fighting!

T: I’m creating. Big difference. Listen to this.

As he struck a power chord from his guitar, behind the drum kit, Bucky Barnes twirled a drumstick between his fingers, silver-gloved fingers flashing under the stage lights. His signature look always included him wearing this glove on his left hand.

B: We should probably run the new version of God of Thunder, before Sam decides to rewrite the bridge again.

SW: (raising his hands) Hey, I improved the bridge!

B: (dryly) You ad-libbed an entire verse mid-show, I almost missed my cue.

SW: Almost (while smirking), but didn’t.

Bucky grunted, then kicked off the count-in. One-two-three-four—

The band launched into the track, the sound raw but cohesive. Steve’s bass rolled in deep and steady, grounding the song like the anchor it was always meant to be. Tony layered in with a riff so sharp it could cut glass, bending his knees and arching back with every other chord. Natasha was the pulse. Her rhythm guitar locked everything in place, tight and unshakable, every downstroke deliberate, every chord change precise. She played with quiet fire, head low, fingers a blur, the kind of presence that didn’t need the spotlight to command the room. Sam’s voice surged over it all, powerful and soulful, riding the beat like he owned it.

And Bucky—Bucky was a storm behind the kit. Controlled chaos. Every snare hit and cymbal crash was intentional, aggressive, and alive.

Then, something happened.

Steve leaned forward just a little more during the chorus, eyes locking with Bucky’s for half a second. A small smile cracked his usual cool expression.

Tony, sensing the energy shift, turned and played a riff he hadn’t rehearsed—something new, bluesy, experimental. Bucky caught the rhythm instantly and shifted his pattern. Steve followed without missing a beat. Sam, watching them, adjusted mid-line and carried the new groove like it was meant to happen all along.

For thirty seconds, God of Thunder became something else entirely—more jazz-infused, a little dirtier, and infinitely more alive.

The moment ended as quickly as it began. They fell back into the original progression like nothing happened.

Silence fell after the final chord rang out.

T: (blinking) Did we just—?

S: (catching his breath) Yeah, we just did.

From the shadows of the venue, a slow clap echoed.

Bruce Banner, their PR manager, stepped out from the darkened wings holding her phone.

BR: I was live-streaming that soundcheck to the fan club, and you just went viral. Again.

B: (tilting his head) Define viral.

He turned the phone so they could see the chat. Comments were flying so fast they blurred:

“WHAT WAS THAT VERSION??? I NEED IT NOW.”
“BUCKY ON DRUMS IS A MENACE AND I’M HERE FOR IT.”
“STEVE’S BASS FACE JUST ENDED MY MARRIAGE.”
“TONY YOU GENIUS PLEASE DROP THAT SOLO.”

"NATASHA MARRY ME PLEASE"
“SAM’S VOCALS??? I HAVE ASCENDED.”

SR: (exhaling through his nose) Guess we’re rewriting the track. Again.

T: (beaming) See? Greatness.

Bucky just shook his head and spun his sticks.

N:Someone buy me a coffee before we go full Bon Jovi tonight.

Buy Online Stacking Patch Cables At Low Price

Tendrils Cables offers a high-quality selection of Stacking Patch Cables that are perfect for connecting multiple pedals on your pedalboard. These cables are durable, reliable, and come in a variety of lengths to suit your specific needs.

[bandchat]

Josh Scott of JHS Pedals recently made a video on designing a "beginner" pedalboard (see above). Although I doubt he meant to come off as hypocritical (anti his, "Worry about gear less; play more"), aspects of it felt that way.

The video instead is an explanation of what a beginning guitarist should acquire, because Josh states what specific effect types and cables to use. At the beginning of the video, he should be clear that new guitarists, for the first couple of years, stick to one or two pedals, lay them on the floor with cheap patch cables that can be replaced easily if they break, and use 9-volt batteries and/or a couple of individual power supplies to run them. This minimal gear is easy to throw in a backpack if going to someone's house or practice space.

After a while, if it starts to feel cumbersome, then upgrade to a system to manage it all. That's the guitarist level who this video should be aimed at: the one who already knows what pedals to use and what cables to use with them.

Finding the Right Pedal Board Power Supply

Being a guitarist, you will always feel the impact of pedals across your guitar pedalboard cables. However, you may now reconsider staying away from the conventional battery-backed power supply and want to upgrade to a more robust form of electric power supply. We can explain  options to get the right source of power supply.

Why Do People Need the Power Supply for Pedals?

Once you use a reliable power source for your guitar pedals, the sound quality of the instrument gets improved, and you can then use the pedals to their full capacity. The use of 9V battery support does not hold well when it comes to powering a host of pedals on the pedalboard. If you are a musician by profession, we advise you not to opt for battery power. An electrical power supply always allows you to maintain the right amount of voltage through the pedalboard, provided there is no interruption. Unlike 9v batteries, you can leave your instrument plugged in because it will not consume any power.  

What is the Voltage Requirement?

These days, the majority of pedal linked guitars have the capacity of 9V. However, some of the pedalboards are compatible with a range of 12V, 18V, and even 24V voltage support. You should always check the voltage capacity before buying a pedal power supply source. Large numbers of pedals are best suited for the usual 9V power. In contrast, some may require an upgraded power supply, like the older versions of Electro Harmonix pedals. Generally, it’s up to the manufacturer to decide what voltage of power supply is admissible for a certain grade of pedals.

What About the Current Consumption?

Before assessing the voltage requirement, check the power consumption needed to power the pedal. The measuring unit, in this case, is mA (milliamps). However, some of the pedals with analog distortion will require low power consumption, which is somewhere around 20 mA or even less. The idea is to consult a checklist for your specific requirement. You don't need to worry about excessive current supply as too much flow of current will not damage the pedals. However, you must ensure that all pedals on the pedalboards are of professional-grade. As a result, all the pedals get a uniform amount of power supply irrespective of active pedals strewn on your instrument.  

What is an Isolated Supply?

It’s primarily engaged to reduce unwanted noise that may occur due to low-quality voltage supply. It means each power output is fully isolated and also ensures that each pedal is getting an uninterrupted electricity supply. Otherwise, a daisy chain of pedalboard wiring may push the power flow through one lead into a solitary pedal. It may dilute the power along the way and degrade the sound quality in the process.  

Which is the Perfect Power Supply?

As a musician, you may discover that you have a pedal that requires a voltage specification of 9V and 250mA to 300mA voltage output. Alternatively, you have scores of regular pedals that consume only a bit of electricity. Either way, you must monitor that each pedal is fed with the right amount of power supply. If it doesn’t happen, you will not get the right sound out of the flat pedal cables. You get 10 inputs with varying current consumption.

The Bottom Line 

 An ideal combination of pedal power supply is a must for professionals. Besides, musicians should always use the correct ones to ensure top quality sound.

I built a small batch of Envelope Filter pedals in December. Most were already sold to customers who had been waiting for them but I have a couple left on Ebay.  I also have a selection of footswitches for things like Kemper, Line6 HX stomp, Beatbuddy, etc. Plus pedalboard patch boxes and various cables. I will build a few more Envelope Filters sometime in 2020 and have some new products coming soon.

Complete Guide to Guitar Patch Cables

If you want to extend your sound horizons and the amplifier tones make you feel limited, then pedalboard patch cables are right for you. When you are a beginner, you are unaware of a lot of things, for example- matching ohms, or cables, or the right kind of pedalboard wiring. There are many options in the market, but choosing the suitable patch cable depends upon a number of factors, and this article aims to make that process easier for you with the help of a thorough guide.

 What Kind of a Pedalboard Should I Begin With?

There are many types of pedalboards used by seasoned players and even beginners. “Distortion pedals” are more flexible than the others as they will let you create your own tones and come with volume controls. “Overdrive pedals” are known for delivering a moderate-gain crunch. Next comes the “Wah Pedal”, which is known for providing a kind of crying sound that seems like it is animated. The use of the Wah pedal becomes more accented with the help of a distortion and overdrive pedal. But if you ask what kind of pedalboard should you begin with, then the answer is- “Tuner pedal”. A tuner pedal is the basic kind of pedal you should have because it keeps you in tune, and that is most important. The Boss TU-3 or the “polytune pedals” from TC Electronic are some of the best tuner pedals.

Importance of a Patch Cable and the Right Way to Connect Pedalboard?

Patch cables are used to connect one pedal with another, and it helps in shortening the total signal length. Needlessto say, if you think of it this way- your guitar, the amplifier, and the pedals are a circuit, and if your signal needs more cable, it will gradually become weaker. A pedalboard patch cable shortens this time. Instead of using a full-length cord of six feet size, patch cables, which are usually six to twelve inches long, do the job more efficiently. If you want to use a simple as well as small pedalboard, then a patch cable would be more useful. But if you wish to have an all-encompassing and larger pedalboard, then you will definitely need to customize the cable lengths according to the pedalboards. Modern patch cables are made in such a way so that the space between pedals is less.

How Should I Power the Pedalboard of My Guitar? 

Power supplies are usually provided with the pedals, but you can easily buy one if you are not supplied with power supplies. You only have to make sure that the power supply you are buying matches the pedal’s power requirements. The power supplies convert the alternating current (AC) power from your switchboard to direct current (DC). Most pedals need a minimum voltage of 9V and an electrical current that is less than 100 mA. And you should make sure of the following three things:

Voltage: The most common pedals require a voltage of 9V, but pedals that are larger in size might require about 18V power because of their complex circuitry. 

Current: Wah or overdrive pedals require much less current than the digital pedals. However, there is nothing to worry about if the current flow is more than what you need. It does not affect the pedal at all.

Polarity: Vintage pedals used to have positive polarity, but modern pedals have a negative polarity. The polarity is always marked on the pedals.

 Concluding Words

A patch cable is extremely useful if you have pedalboards, and that is why we hope that with the help of this guide, you now have a much clearer idea about pedalboard wiring and what you should be looking for when you are purchasing a pedalboard patch cables . You may be a beginner or a professional, but if you are trying to figure out what kind of patch cables would suit your needs, then this guide is the best for you. With so many brands offering the best patch cables, you can now make an informed decision with the help of this guide. Once you get everything right, you are always good to go.
