String Emergence Pedal Board system explained

String Emergence Pedal Board system explained

March 28, 2026

This board is a state of the art 3 signal chain, (Double Bass, Mandolin and Acoustic Guitar) that facilitates the power and function of all the Effect Units, Tuners, and Pre-amps for all 3 instruments at once. All running stereo through the RC 600 Loop station that comes equipped with custom stereo cables and instrument cables for quick and easy set up on most large stages and P.A systems. Built and designed by Mike Vegas at Nice Rack Canada. Mike is an incredible musical engineer who works with Artists from all over the world, developing high quality sound systems for live performance and studio recording.   I will start with a list of all the components and pedals that are used on the board:

Guitar signal chain:

  • Peterson strobe tuner/mute tracker
  • L.R Baggs Venue Pre Amp
  • Eventide H9 Multi Effect pedal

Mandolin Signal Chain:

  • Peterson strobe tuner/mute tracker
  • Fishman AFX pro EQ mini
  • Boss Digital Delay DD 7

Double Bass signal chain:

  • Peterson strobe tuner/mute tracker
  • Tech 21 Sans Amp Bass Driver Deluxe pre amp

There is a custom box that has two foot switches for the guitar signal. (Set in between the eventide and digital delay for easy access).

  1. Boost button brings the boost button from the Venue pre amp  closer to my foot range for boosting solos.
  2. Timing button for the eventide and digital delay , that can also run timing for the RC 600 Loop station if I want to turn it on.

Coming out of the RC is a custom input/output box with fuses and grounding that handles power and all the high end cables with 2 stereo outs, plus the three instrument inputs. This box also has a main MUTE button on it for muting the whole system. Last we have 2 Voodoo Lab power supplies that powers everything on the board through the custom board with insulated and very well wrapped sound cabling running from through all the units and signal chain.   All packaged nicely in a heavy duty pelican travel case with pressure gages for high altitudes. The sound quality and quietness of the system is top notch.
