Rig Build for our “Dream Pedalboard” Winner

Back in April of this year, we held our Dream Pedalboard Giveaway: an opportunity for one lucky guitarist to have the Rig Doctor build them the pedalboard of their dreams. After receiving over 9,000 entries for the giveaway, we chose our winner at random.

Today, I’m walking you through the rig build I did for Rhye, the winner of the Dream Pedalboard Giveaway. Rhye’s rig consists of several staple-pedals including a TS-808, Vertex Boost, and much more!

Huge thanks to Truetone, Goodwood Audio, and Best-Tronics Pro Audio for donating gear and making this giveaway possible!

Congrats Rhye! Seems like it fits him like a glove! Great Job, Mason!

[Daniel-rgsl]

Sick. Jealous of that kid and happy for him. Those one controls are surprisingly useful. I have one just to take a loud fuzz and multimod unit out of sequence when I’m not using them.

[AnodyneHipsterInfluencer]

Rad all the way around. Great contest, by a great company, won by a deserving young player. Congratulations Rhye!

[mitskoski]

Great video, as always! That " interfacer" there seems so tempting!
BUT: I purchased 2 buffers from Creation Audio Labs, as you advised at the DIY buffer video, I also bought a rockboard mod 2 patch bay and... I made my own input and output buffer! And with the kleinulator that I purchased from the rig doctor e-shop, I buffered my fx loop too!! Thanks doctor!! Video coming soon!!!

[jameshalbert]

I'd love to have the patience to run cables the way you do. I think I'd have a nervous breakdown before I got 2 cables routed. At least I'm soldering my own now that's a start.

[TheCheyaneyoung]

So sick! Great job Mason and stoked for Rhye!

[lisafestus]

I’m so happy for you Rhye Kahala!!!! CONGRATULATIONS❣️🎉👏🏼😃

[BeachJazzMusic]

I do hear a difference between the board on and off but I think it sounds better with the pedalboard on. The highs seem to come out better, at least on YouTube.

[wilmer]

Silent Bob at his best!!!! Haha Good job once again uncle Mason

[jasperchance]

Incredible level of 'that's the sh*t' going on. Loved the result. Superb!

[Skrammelcaster]

This shit was WHOLESOME
Thank you for creating a great community (:

[nicksburson]

Nice work Mason and I beat Ryan is happy 😃, personally this video reenforced my thought that if you have more than 6 pedals you need a switch.. I struggle with the sound of those buffers stacking

[Souldoubtrocks]

I’m surprised the tone was brighter with the pedal board and darker when bypassed.

[dannygospel]

That awsome.... I like this sound!!! Hey bro.. What do you think about black hold from eventide???

[Diax]

Have you given the EUNA a shot yet? I highly recommend it! It's indispensable at my gigs. Makes volume roll off much nicer, the loop is very useful, and the 3 different filters are incredibly useful. I usually run bright and low simultaneously, but I will throw the harmonic on or turn off low depending on the venue. Very powerful if not even just for the buffer but just for that. Less twiddly than a seven band EQ.

[Cordmichael]

How often does this rig giveaway happen?Ineed this!!!!

[StevieMacSHOW]

Mason...would you still recommend using an In/Out Buffer if using the Pedalboard with an Iridium or Walrus AC1 Only?

[searom]

How to sound like John Mayer updated! Nice video!

[revival]

Just a quick question, why would you need a buffer at the input and output when there is a bunch of pedals with buffers in them?
