For years I have had pedalboard envy. Not for a huge board with tons of effects, but for the super clean and buttoned-up look of the pro-built boards. Xact Tone Solutions has built my favorites, so I finally decided to have a larger board built around a UA Dream 65 amp modeler, yet that could also go to an amp, or both. I also decided to get the XTS treatment on my tried and true grab-go board. This is a walk-through of my board with Barry and Eric, who have no issues with adding their valuable input or giving me a hard time. 

Gear used:
Turbo Tuner, Mirage Compressor, Analogman Boss TR-2, Ibanez Mostortion rehoused by XTS, Boss DM-3 analog delay, Line 6 Echo Park. Mono board. Truetone CS6 power supply

well hello friends and welcome to ask


0:19

Zack today I have a confession for


0:23

decades I've had pedal board envy and


0:27

not in the sense of wanting to have one


0:29

of those huge Studio boards that uh you


0:32

know a lot of the studio cats have know


0:35

I've never I've never wanted that I've


0:36

never wanted to have a a Starship


0:40

Enterprise or whatever to uh to control


0:42

I always like a simple rig but what I


0:44

have been jealous of are the really


0:47

wonderful clean builds where all the


0:50

cables are nicely buttoned up uh you


0:54

know the power cables are are run in the


0:57

right fashion it looks professional and


1:00

so I've been jealous of these type of


1:03

you know those type of builds since the


1:05

'90s and since I first started seeing


1:07

Pro built pedal boards built by like


1:10

Tech star and different people and of


1:11

course I've done a lot of interviews and


1:13

gigging and especially in the true tone


1:16

Lounge interviews I've seen a lot of


1:18

exact tone solution pedal boards that


1:21

are just amazing I mean they are so


1:24

clean and well put together that finally


1:28

I uh I decided you know what I want to


1:31

have that done and my excuse was I


1:36

wanted to have a board built that was


1:39

just for playing you know direct or an


1:42

amp and so it's kind of a bigger board


1:44

maybe got a little extra stuff on it


1:46

it's still a long skinny board like the


1:49

Metro 24 but it'll have a dream 65 and


1:53

it'll have a junction box an insert with


1:56

like a volume pedal and some other


1:57

things like that and whether you can you


1:59

you can go either to an amp or you can


2:01

go to the the dream 65 in a direct box


2:04

so while I was taking that stuff down


2:06

there I also took down my grab and go


2:09

pedal board that I use you know more


2:11

around town or sometimes even fly with


2:13

it too and um and it was kind of real


2:17

rickety and stuff was kind of moving


2:18

around and of course also I kind of have


2:20

changed pedals around on it at different


2:22

times but I always come back to the same


2:24

guys and finally I said you know what I


2:26

want you to button up my uh my grabin


2:30

board to so this guy got all cleaned up


2:34

with custom cables no more you know


2:37

mismatched you know manufacturers cables


2:40

and all sorts of odd stuff uh it's got


2:42

dual lock on it uh you know of course


2:45

we've got our true tone CS6 on the back


2:49

and everything's nicely uh you know


2:51

tidied up and buttoned away and it just


2:54

looks really professional and well put


2:57

together I've always wanted to have this


2:59

done so So today we're going to take a


3:02

uh a school trip out to uh exact tone


3:06

Solutions here in Nashville and Barry


3:09

and Eric are going to and and I are


3:13

going to walk through this board and now


3:15

I know in the past I've talked about


3:17

this you know some of these pedals


3:19

before but this is a really fun uh you


3:22

4:10

Mr John Mr John for the for if you know


4:13

you know right yeah if you know you know


4:15

4:22

4:25

I call you

4:30

4:34

if you'll just walk us through this


4:36

board if you know you know if you uh so


4:41

uh we but we'll keep it secret it's a


4:42

it's a it's a John L board yeah yeah all


4:46

right Zach as uh as uh Eric here walks


4:49

us through the board maybe you can chime


4:51

in on you know why you picked what you


4:53

picked or why you like yeah the stuff


4:55

that's on there so Eric take us through


4:58

it yeah so simple board uh mono


5:03

board there's only one of them now we


5:05

don't do a lot of those here we don't


5:08

see a ton of them no um but it's a good


5:11

size yeah this is a great size and you


5:14

got plenty of room under there for your


5:16

supply and for a folded board the gauge


5:21

on that is pretty nce like it's a


5:23

thicker gauge it's robust uh some other


5:26

boards I won't name names are pretty


5:28

sharp this is a Prett gentle one not


5:31

going to cut your hand trying to pick it


5:32

up are those feet just stuck on there or


5:34

they captured somehow they


5:36

are captured somehow captured somehow


5:39

Okay cool so we got through to the


5:42

board and then on top of the board


5:44

there's some pedals and some cables and


5:47

that's about it no starts with the tuner


5:49

here a little guy which is kind of Zach


5:51

that's kind of quickly becoming


5:54

unobtainium it seems like yeah they they


5:56

are still available but only from the


5:58

manufacturer they don't have any dealers


6:00

anymore so because they had a shortage


6:02

of chips so I actually mistakenly bought


6:04

one on reverb at higher than than retail


6:07

price and then I found out that they are


6:10

still for sale but only directly from uh


6:12

Sonic research so yeah don't pay


6:15

inflated Reverb prices they're they're


6:17

shipping them uh but yeah that is my


6:19

favorite alltime uh tuner pedal and it's


6:23

it's small it has a soft switch that's


6:26

still true bypass and it just it's easy


6:29

to see it it Tunes really well it


6:32

doesn't do anything crazy uh you know


6:35

cuz the last thing you want is something


6:37

wacko happening while you're trying to


6:39

retune before the next song or something


6:41

like that right especially like if


6:43

you're already in the weeds right like


6:45

you're you played a song you know it's


6:46

bad yeah and you're trying to make it


6:48

right yeah yeah you you don't want want


6:51

that did you dig the like the Peterson


6:53

strobes like are you a strobe


6:55

fan uh I had one of the Peterson strobes


6:58

when they when they first were released


7:00

and it and they were gigantic and also


7:02

had like an XLR out and I just didn't


7:04

like it because at that point they would


7:06

rotate like thish and like this and that


7:09

was hard for me to read it was easier


7:10

for me to where it was going this way or


7:12

this way depending on whether it was


7:13

sharp or flat right I found when those


7:17

race car looking strobo Stomps came out


7:20

that there was sort of a halves and


7:22

haves knots when it came to using them


7:25

like look like a race car bed don't they


7:28

I put that it did it did it looked


7:30

completely bury again with the bom Mo


7:33

that's right that's right so it's uh but


7:36

I knew a bunch of like acoustic only


7:38

players and they never figured it out


7:39

like they didn't even know how to get it


7:42

they didn't know what the object of the


7:43

game was like yes they didn't know well


7:45

you got to stop this bit over here from


7:47

moving yes I heard a lot of people like


7:49

the DI in it the sound quality really


7:52

cool I never noticed at least a couple


7:54

people that I think knew what they were


7:56

talking about said I like the DI in that


7:58

thing that's cool didn't know that but


8:00

here we are and now you got a tiny thing


8:03

there that does strobe and is available


8:05

directly from Sonic research yes they


8:08

are very cool pedal yeah that's good


8:11

compressor good


8:12

pedal this this one I I like because now


8:16

we'll we'll go back and I'll just go


8:18

ahead and admit it here so this this


8:21

pedal board is uh pretty much an exact


8:24

copy of uh the pedal board that one of


8:27

my favorite players chap named John


8:30

lenthal used when uh and there is he had


8:34

a different overdrive on it but he is a


8:36

fan of the m dorion and so I already had


8:39

all the pedals that he had except for


8:41

this Mirage compressor and so I ended up


8:43

picking up one of these and this kind of


8:45

has a a slower response it's not that


8:47

really quick and and so it just is


8:50

smoother so it doesn't clamp down so


8:52

fast and it just sounds more natural and


8:54

so I really like this compressor a lot


8:57

also it kind of messes with your tone in


8:59

a nice way it kind of it's it has kind


9:01

of a a mid-range kind of thing to it


9:04

which I like that's cool and so I really


9:07

like this and this is something that I I


9:09

pretty much leave on all the time and it


9:10

has a handy little light on there that


9:13

uh I I don't know whether uh it's you


9:16

know very sophisticated or not but it


9:17

seems like it's sensing you know how


9:20

much it's grabbing and such and so you


9:21

can kind of you know easily back it off


9:24

and uh yeah it works well yeah that's


9:26

super cool it is that's a good


9:28

compressor it's good for guys that don't


9:31

dig compression or think the compressor


9:33

they have is too heavy-handed or too


9:35

aggressive yeah it's a good one I think


9:38

as an aside it's also it's a curated


9:42

compression compression experience it's


9:44

got two knobs you don't have to know how


9:47

to set a knee or an attack or a release


9:49

or any of that stuff with it and it's


9:52

those are all set in a very guitar


9:54

friendly way and and that's what I need


9:58

you know and and and I just find the


10:00

more option you know I get option


10:02

anxiety and I need something that just


10:05

kind of does the job and works and so


10:06

it's like so to me like a lot of guys


10:09

get into the compressor pedals that have


10:11

like five knobs they have like a mix


10:13

knob they have a tone knob they have you


10:15

know an attack knob and and the and your


10:18

normal comp and and level knobs and


10:20

those completely you know throw me for a


10:22

loop even though they they sound great


10:24

and I hear people using them in great


10:25

ways but I I love the fact that it's


10:27

just a two knobber and it's easy to use


10:30

and it's and it's really friendly to to


10:33

playing yeah I think they are they're


10:35

great and less knobs to try to set uh


10:38

during a really quick Sound Check Yes or


10:41

a stage load in yeah uh next tremo a


10:45

modern classic yeah not really modern


10:47

classic just a classic well you put it I


10:49

did a double take cuz I I said do do you


10:53

really want it there and uh because it's


10:56

before dirt bar had to talk me into it I


10:59

almost I said I said yeah I had to hold


11:00

him back I said listen we respect our


11:02

clients here and so this this had to do


11:06

again this is coughing the way John had


11:08

his oh is that how he has it how he and


11:12

so what I found was is that I like it


11:15

that way because what it's doing is it's


11:17

raising and lowering the level that goes


11:20

into the mostortion when you have it on


11:22

and to me it gives you a more


11:23

interesting texture because your signal


11:26

is being dirtier and cleaning up dirtier


11:29

and cleaning up as the triolo goes up


11:31

and down and so I I thought that that


11:33

was kind of I don't know whether he did


11:35

it for that purpose or not but and i'


11:37

Haven I've never asked him but uh yeah I


11:40

just I really like that and so I I think


11:42

it really adds a a nice thing you know


11:45

of course it doesn't make any difference


11:46

if you don't have the mostortion on but


11:48

when you have it on you get that uh you


11:50

know change in level change in dirt


11:52

level and and you set your mtor it's not


11:55

super aggressive right no and I think


11:57

that leads Credence to cuz it's not like


11:59

you're going to have clean dirty clean


12:01

dirty clean dirty it's going to kind of


12:03

undulate maybe in a way that maybe you


12:05

couldn't really identify right yeah it's


12:08

it's not drastic it's it's subtle but


12:10

it's interesting yeah so so that's a


12:12

trim yeah and there and there's nothing


12:15

really um the the current boss tr2 is


12:19

fine and dandy this is from the era when


12:22

they there were still like a volume drop


12:24

in them and Analog Man would do this mod


12:26

so I don't know that this is kind of a


12:27

necessary thing any more this is just


12:29

the one you know that I had and and such


12:32

and so it you know and at the time they


12:34

were only like a hundred bucks or


12:35

whatever I don't know what they are now


12:36

yeah they certainly made improvements to


12:38

the g7s when they moved them to Malaysia


12:42

I wonder I we I don't know that we've


12:45

had a Malaysian tr2 in so I don't know


12:50

if they've sort of quote fixed those


12:53

things that we would mod that you know


12:54

like that that mod corrects but um but


12:57

it's still a great pedal I I think a lot


13:00

of guys use them for Nostalgia only but


13:03

they still are totally valid yeah well


13:07

cool so tram and then a classic maor the


13:10

F4 mentioned mtion when did you find the


13:13

mostortion Zach I found it because of


13:16

Jeff sin and so so this was before they


13:20

got to be expensive and uh apparently


13:25

the the whole mooran thing starts with


13:28

uh Roy Parnell and then the guitarist


13:31

that work with him like Rob McNelly and


13:33

then Rob


13:34

McNelly had one shipped to Jeff sin's


13:37

house because he like was out on the


13:39

road or something like that Jeff ends up


13:41

playing through


13:42

it when he was going I think you just


13:45

confessed a federal offense on Jeff's


13:48

Jeff s do belong in jail you know for


13:51

multiple reasons but uh and then Jeff


13:55

was trying to get uh trueone to to make


13:59

a copy of it because he was he was


14:01

unhappy with of course the built quality


14:03

in the original you know 10 series


14:06

housing and so he he shipped one to me


14:10

and then I fell in love with it and then


14:12

ended up the the


14:14

chips uh the seamos the seamos chip is


14:18

not made anymore and so because of that


14:21

because that would make it harder to


14:23

Source them and get them to the to


14:25

tron's factory and such in China it


14:29

didn't make any sense so I had I had to


14:31

you know so Bob said yeah we're we're


14:33

not you know because of that that issue


14:35

it doesn't really make sense that's


14:37

something for like a smaller Builder to


14:39

use and not to mass produce so we didn't


14:41

do it but I ended up just falling in


14:42

love with the pedal so I I ended up


14:44

buying a couple of them when they were


14:46

still in that $100 range good for you


14:48

and then uh the switch on it uh you know


14:53

they they kind of notoriously go bad and


14:56

I would spray deoxide in there and get


14:58

it to keep working and finally it wasn't


15:00

working anymore so then that's when I


15:01

had you guys do your uh your rehouse on


15:04

it and and I had it uh did you give a


15:07

lick about the the true bypass no I


15:10

didn't I just I liked the pedal the way


15:12

it was and I didn't feel like it needed


15:15

so I have a soft switch on there and


15:17

it's and it's just doing like it always


15:20

did so it's not true bypass Y and uh and


15:22

it works fine and again you're only


15:24

dealing with a couple of pedals here so


15:25

it's not a so why the mtion for you


15:29

I I like the three band EQ it's a good


15:33

fixer um and then I just think it even


15:37

though I I I interviewed the uh the


15:40

designer of this and basically what he


15:43

did was he added the three band EQ from


15:46

like a a Fender


15:48

amp uh to a tube screamer and changed it


15:51

to where it had that seos you know chip


15:54

and that was all it was but it makes a


15:56

big difference in the way it sounds and


15:58

to me it was just more I hate this word


16:01

but it is more natural sounding than a


16:03

tube screen it didn't have the uh the


16:05

the low-end loss and it didn't get so


16:08

midrangey and to me it was just more


16:10

friendly and of course now there are so


16:12

many other overdrives out there but I


16:15

don't really like to change up stuff a


16:17

whole lot to me it's like if something


16:18

works let's kind of let's kind of go


16:20

with that and let's let let's leave it


16:21

alone to a degree which makes sense cuz


16:24

of everything on this board yeah and and


16:27

going back these are all sort of older


16:29

yeah and what Eric was saying is really


16:32

important Eric was hinting to the fact


16:34

that when you're fussing with stuff


16:37

you're not being musical sure and so


16:40

when you're trying to get comfortable


16:42

you know and you're messing around with


16:43

stuff and to me it's like the Le the


16:45

least amount of stuff you can use the


16:47

better because and if you kind of know


16:49

the stuff well that way if something's


16:51

wrong if there's a knob in the wrong


16:53

position well it's easy to kind of find


16:54

it because you know them all real well


16:56

and that way you can get on to to doing


16:58

sound check and and playing through the


17:00

song or learning a new song with


17:02

everyone else in sound check and just


17:04

makes it to where it's just a lot better


17:06

uh now of course sometimes you have to


17:08

use more gear depending on the gig and


17:09

everything but this is you know again


17:11

this is your little grab and go kind of


17:15

do everything you know that you would


17:17

need in most you know kind of normal


17:19

small situations for sure for sure so


17:22

that got us up to the


17:24

monor couple delays here then couple


17:27

good delays do you those short and


17:30

whatever so I set this short for you


17:32

know a country slapback like I'd use


17:34

with a Telecaster and uh and it's just


17:37

nice to be able to go very quickly


17:39

between because a lot of times I play


17:42

more Roots type music and I play older


17:45

Country you know with maybe some more


17:48

modern stuff thrown in but it's nice to


17:50

be able to go from your telecaster thing


17:53

with this to all of a sudden you can go


17:55

to this and you can have the mooran on


17:56

for playing a ballot or something like


17:58

that and the fact that this I mean this


18:01

has the built-in tap Tempo that's really


18:03

what do you think about that that's kind


18:05

of I found that to be divisive I I have


18:08

I yeah you're you're right it is and I


18:11

like it and I it's like it's just you


18:13

have to be careful with where you're


18:16

hitting it when you're tapping it in and


18:18

it's like if you if you hit it in the


18:20

right area which I think is over here at


18:22

least for me it's worked uh I don't have


18:24

a problem with turning it you know off


18:26

and on as it were I'm I'm able to to tap


18:29

it in without without an issue and I I


18:30

just find it works well and this this is


18:33

one of the best sounding like I don't


18:36

know what they are now but it's like


18:37

when I started buying these they were


18:38

like a hundred bucks used and they can't


18:41

be a whole lot more than that and they


18:43

have a great sounding tape delay they


18:45

have a great sounding and along with


18:47

modulation that sounds kind of like a


18:49

deluxe memory man and uh and it has


18:52

these other like it has a swell thing on


18:54

there that's the same one like you get


18:56

on the dl4 which basically can give you


18:59

the uh you know the the volume volume


19:01

swell type thing and you can just put it


19:03

on that and and play some cords and it


19:05

swells up and you don't even have to


19:06

bring a volume pedal with you now it's


19:08

it's not as uh variable and and you're


19:12

not able to kind of express yourself as


19:14

much with it but still it it kills that


19:17

that bird so for sure this yeah this is


19:19

great and this is really cool because


19:22

these are still not super expensive like


19:25

the dm2 are crazy expensive but the


19:27

threes clearer sounding I think they're


19:31

better and I found this one cheap


19:34

because someone had modded it to run on


19:36

9 volts instead of 12 which to me was an


19:39

upgrade sure that was what I wanted you


19:42

CU I I do that anyway to old boss pedals


19:44

I convert them because if if I'm going


19:46

to keep it unless it's like some crazy


19:48

valuable pedal but I'll convert it to


19:50

take 9 volts instead just because it's


19:52

easier to to to use and to plug it in so


19:56

I you know I think I paid like $125


19:58

bucks for this one that's great and it


19:59

also um it does depending on the unit


20:03

and depending on how the the internal


20:05

trimers are uh are are dialed in you can


20:08

get a really good almost infinite you


20:11

know kind of repeat kind of thing that


20:13

that doesn't oscillate MH and uh and


20:16

that's really good for kind of filling


20:18

space uh and also to make you play less


20:21

so sometimes it's nice turn the delay


20:23

you know it's like I'm always looking


20:25

for things to do that if I'm you if I'm


20:27

looking you know it's like you're you're


20:28

playing on a mid Tempo or a ballad or


20:30

something like that and you're just


20:31

doing too much and you're just like okay


20:33

well I just turn this it's a straight


20:35

jacket yeah I turn I turn the intensity


20:38

all the way up and I turn the repeat


20:39

rate well that's actually yeah and uh to


20:42

the longest time that it does and I keep


20:44

that that setting and I turn it on and


20:47

it's just like and you you can rake some


20:49

cords or do some simple you know


20:50

arpeggios and it just kind of fills


20:52

things out and you and you're not


20:54

tempted to keep you know tur into a


20:56

banjo player or something did leall


20:58

lethal have a a DM I thing I think yeah


21:02

he had a two so I mean he had a two yeah


21:04

this is this is full on you know a copy


21:08

and it did not make me sound like John


21:10

lenthal ain't that a bummer it it it was


21:12

a bummer you know I we may have you cut


21:15

that out because we kind have a business


21:16

predicated


21:18

on sound like s you will sound but here


21:23

was here was the thing that that kind of


21:25

sold me on this kind of setup was I


21:29

started playing guitar in the 1980s and


21:32

the first pedal board I had was a boss


21:34

plastic board it was called the BCB 6


21:37

and it had this red master


21:40

switch and then it had had spots for


21:42

five pedals and so I had a d comp a


21:46

ts808 and like uh A Chorus and a delay


21:50

and something else and I always liked


21:53

that design and I didn't even think


21:55

about the fact that for years I was


21:57

using like The Petal train Junior and


21:59

some of those other boards that had two


22:00

rows of pedals mhm and going to this


22:05

board reminded me how much I liked


22:07

having just one line of pedals and I


22:10

didn't want to have to step over stuff


22:12

because this is so easy to use


22:14

especially while you're also having to


22:16

sing so cuz I'll you know and the depth


22:18

is a problem if you're singing Because


22:20

where does that Hercules stand go


22:23

exactly and so it's nice having these


22:26

things and even though you know the


22:29

mostortion in the rehouse it's it's kind


22:31

of tall but that's actually a really


22:33

good thing for me because it's really


22:35

easy to hit this you know if I'm singing


22:39

and then all of a sudden I'm going to


22:40

hit that to you know for my solo and


22:43

it's it's kind of it's easy to do that


22:45

so that's very cool yeah so just the so


22:47

there's been a lot of thought into the


22:50

ergonomics and everything on this and it


22:51

just it just works really well it's and


22:54

I love having it cleaned up so much with


22:57

these Wonder ful you know nice custom


22:59

cables that you did and of course I'm


23:02

just going to say this right now um you


23:05

of course we've got a true tone you know


23:07

CS6 underneath it's same one I've been


23:08

using forever they you know you all put


23:11

these nice little labels on there which


23:13

U makes it look cooler and then cleaning


23:15

it up I mean it just looks so much


23:18

better than when I had it it was kind of


23:20

it wasn't yeah it just didn't look so


23:22

nice I remember you and I talking about


23:24

I I kind of feel like I was halfway


23:26

talking you out of it yes because it was


23:29

fine the way that it was and the cables


23:32

there were fine the way that they were


23:34

but it's it's funny


23:36

how just all those little things added


23:39

up makes such a big difference on the


23:42

whole and I had velcro underneath it and


23:44

I just and it was it was just an ugly


23:47

Patchwork of of velcro no uh no pun


23:50

intended and it was funny how the pedals


23:54

would kind of rock around some yeah and


23:56

that would change and that could that


23:58

affects the way when you're turning them


24:00

off and on it kind


24:01

of creates a undesirable effect when


24:05

you're trying to turn things off and on


24:06

while you're playing sure cuz then


24:08

you're not even aware did I get that


24:09

yeah and stuff is just kind of sitting


24:11

wonky and stuff moves around and so


24:13

getting the Dual lock on there is huge


24:17

having you know nicer cables and having


24:19

everything cleaned away where there's


24:21

not stuff sticking out that could


24:23

possibly get caught and again I have to


24:25

show these uh you know Wonderful little


24:28

uh what what are these dads called I I


24:31

should know the adhesive mounts yes the


24:33

yeah and just the way yall have made it


24:35

so one here clean and nice on here and


24:38

that one spot really is perfect for that


24:40

board not only because it has six but


24:42

with these switches where you to switch


24:44

out the MOs tortion for something that


24:47

takes 12 or


24:49

18 you're that's like sitting right


24:51

there and all you just plug it in and


24:53

and switch it yeah and yeah and if


24:57

you're to go demo like in Europe or


24:59

something like that it's International


25:01

automatically and all that stuff yeah


25:03

it's it's it's great and you know this


25:05

is a power supply that I I pushed for


25:08

you know for True tone to make because I


25:10

started getting feedback from players


25:13

you know this was you know back in 2015


25:16

you know where like guys were starting


25:17

to use smaller you know boards but but


25:20

still wanted like you know isolated


25:22

outputs and stuff like that and so and


25:24

that's that's my which is great which is


25:26

what you would need because this on a


25:28

nonisolated with this and then this on a


25:31

nonisolated with this that that's you


25:34

could get ticking from this high pitched


25:37

wine from this yes and so it helps a lot


25:40

having you know this board on the on


25:43

isolated outputs it it just it keeps the


25:45

the noise level down and you know and


25:48

also this is you know what I what I use


25:50

on you know most on my show a lot of the


25:53

times this is what I'm plugged into you


25:55

know and a lot of times I'll only have


25:57

the compressor on and that's it just


25:58

depending on what I'm doing but then


26:00

it's like if you hear Echo and stuff you


26:02

know or or overdrive this is kind of


26:05

what it tends to be yeah well Eric you


26:07

did a bang up job as always it really


26:11

does look lovely and uh I won't I won't


26:15

try to talk people out of it anymore yes
