The best and most satisfying gear and rig setups are the ones you make for yourself. The setup that really compliments you is the one that you think up. Cheers as always Rhett.

Here is an helpful tip for the mounting plates by a long-time temple board user. Never stick your plates at the center of your pedal. Instead, put them right under the footswitch of your pedal because there happens a slight gap between the board and the pedal and if that gap is beneath the footswitch, your pedal moves every time you step on it, which will cause the screw come loose. I also learned it the hard way. By the way, the adhesive is so strong that even when you want to remove the plate you have to use a heater, or a blow dryer etc.

You could throw some Loctite Threadlocker on the screws to keep them from loosening. They've got set it and forget it options and less strong ones if you need to do maintenance. It's typical for cars and bikes, which shake a lot, so it'll be more than strong enough for a pedal board.

[PhilLament]

Great, informative video! Please do a post-tour follow-up to show how the board fared during the travels & shows. Also, I would love to hear a play-through of those pedals, just improv/noodling with different combinations.

[emmarossignol]

I love when you stretch out of the box style wise. Every time you start playing something kinda ambient it's intense and beautiful.

Helpful tip when sticking the Temple Audio mounting plates to your pedals. I would put painters tape on the majority of the surface area the plate will be stuck to the pedal. #1 It makes it a whole lot easier and less messy to take off if you decide to sell the pedal #2 It will help avoid stripping the paint off the pedal if removed. Also, make note it is an absolute pain to put a new adhesive to the pedal plate because you have to remove the old one and truly is a pain. Otherwise, absolutely love both my Temple Audio boards.

You can also peel/scrape Temple's adhesive off of their mounting plates and replace it with DualLock or loop/fuzzy Velcro. Then, you can put DualLock or loop/Fuzzy Velcro on the pedals like usual. Mount the plates where you want on the Temple board and then just stick the Velcro/DualLocked pedals onto the plates. It adds a very slight amount of extra height, but it dramatically increases the rearrangement flexibility. Also, I recommend leveraging the bracing plates. You can mount your power supply(ies) to those and give yourself enough clearance to use the mounting plate screws for the pedals above.

I love the poly effects beebo so much, it's an amazing pedal with a genius UI

These are my favourite pedal boards on the internet. Personal, compact, and capable. Good work! Thanks for sharing!

When assembling anything like that it's always good to hit the threads of all the screws with brake clean to make sure there isn't any oil left from manufacturing. On top of that a drop of blue loctite threadlocker on every screw. Blue, not red... you want to be able to disassemble if needed.

I really like the temple boards and that will more than likely be what im moving to next but you are right the braces just need to be there, and I'm definitely not sold on the mounting system. I will probably be using dual lock.

I like how you are utilizing the stomp, that is something I am thinking about with mine.

Cheers man I hope you have an awesome tour.

Hosa STP-201RR is the insert cable you want to easily take advantage of the two mono effects loops on the HX Stomp. All connectors are angled. One single cable does it all, no adapters needed.

I've been using Temple Audio boards and quick release plates for years and never had an issue with the adhesive or anything else. Love it!

[telegaster]

I have never had a problem with using solderless George L's cable and plugs on my board, been using them for many years! I think all their products are FAB!

[thomasegelston]

Great video Rhett. Some one else probably mentioned it, but I’ll second the notion. Blue Loctite will eliminate the screws backing out problem.

[THEItchybruddah]

Welcome to Temple world. Flown to Berlin in 18 to track an album with my Duo 17 in a Harbor Freight pelican knock off case which fit in the overhead. Gator flight case for a Les Paul (that only got checked on the return leg from Charlotte to Knoxville) and disassembled B-Bender Tele surrounded by clothes in luggage. Epic adventure that went without a hitch.

Have fun!

[jaredburns]

I always learn a ton from your videos.. And I love the fact that you link all the gear! Appreciate all the hard work you put in these videos!

[HighSideYT]

new studio vibes!!! lets goooo!!!! cant wait til you get it all finished out. especially the control room.

[PhilipMonsos]

When it comes to the physical pedalboard materials and mounting solution the Pedaltrain is still on top for sheer quality and durability and classic velcro will work for the most part or you can easliy upgrade to dual lock if still having trouble with pedals staying mounted. I use my classic 2 Pedaltrain I purchased about a decade ago nearly every day. I do agree that this is quite an amazing pedalboard. That beginning sound sample was great.

[malsmith]

Little mechanical tip for you, put a little clear nail polish on the screws before screwing them in. It acts as an adhesive and it’s cheaper than loctite. You should still be able to unscrew them in the future, but it keeps them from backing out on their own. Side note: you can also put a drop on the screw heads after they’re screwed in to accomplish the same effect. It’s just not quite as durable.

One super handy thing about the Temple side panels is that they sell adapter plates that let you mount any Neutrik D-Series component. For example: Switchcraft sell a D-Series USB passthrough. You can run the USB output from your DC7 to that passthrough and boom! you've got a convenient place to plug in a phone/tablet/etc. Another application is to mount a Powercon jack in one of the modules. That way you've got a super beefy power cable solution and you don't have to faff about with IEC plugs.
