1. Power Supply:
Look for a reliable and expandable power supply that provides isolated outputs to avoid noise interference. A popular choice is the Truetone 1 Spot Pro CS12. It has 12 isolated outputs, accommodating a variety of pedals.
2. Patch Cables:
Get some good-quality patch cables to connect your pedals. Brands like Hosa, Ernie Ball, or Mogami offer reliable options.
3. Pedalboard:
Consider getting a pedalboard to organize and secure your pedals. Pedaltrain and Gator make sturdy and popular options.
4. Pedal Order:
Plan your pedalboard layout. Typically, the signal chain starts with your guitar and progresses through the pedals in a specific order (e.g., compression, overdrive, distortion, modulation, delay, etc.).
5. Instrument Cables:
Use high-quality instrument cables for connecting your guitar, pedals, and amp. Make sure the cables are the appropriate length for your setup.
6. Boss BD-2 and Compression Pedal:
Connect the Boss BD-2 and the compression pedal in your desired order within the signal chain. Generally, compressors are placed near the beginning of the chain.
7. Powering Up:
Connect the power supply to each pedal, ensuring they receive the correct voltage. The Truetone 1 Spot Pro CS12 comes with various cables and adapters for compatibility.
8. Voltage Requirements:
Check the voltage requirements of each pedal. Most common pedals operate on 9V, but some may need different voltages. Ensure the power supply can accommodate different voltages if needed.
9. Amp Connection:
Connect the output of your last pedal to the input of your Roland Cube 15X amp using an instrument cable.
10. Boss RC-Looper and g1xon:
Power your Boss RC-Looper and g1xon using the power supply as well, eliminating the need for batteries.
