Sound, effects, @musings info  Pedal Board 2.0  I rebuilt my
most recent pedal board, ditching a collection of boutique
effects and replacing them with Visual Sound pedals.  I used to
cherish subtlety in pedals, but I've come to realize that an
effect which can be heard clearly in a quiet room gets buried in
crowd noise or the "roar floor" of the rest of an ensemble.
That's not to say that the Visual Sound pedals can't be subtle,
but it's not their forté.  One thing that's really nice about
the Visual Sound pedals is that each one contains two related
effects. I have three pedals (for a total of six individual
effects) on a 19- by 8-inch board. Pedals are fastened to the
board using nylong zip-ties; I don't like using velcro. The rear
of the board is raised about an inch to give a better angle for
stomping on the switches. The power is daisy-chained and
supplied by a regulated wall-wart.  These pedals are buffered
with a reasonably unintrusive buffer
