Expression pedals allow us to unlock some extra potential from our gear. We’re going to break down how expression pedals work, how to connect them to your delay or reverb unit, what parameters you can typically control (this will vary from pedal to pedal), and learn some pro tips to get the most out of your delay and reverb soaked tones.

Pedalboard hum can be one of the most frustrating and annoying issues to deal with and diagnose.

Let's set the scene. You've just spent hours building your ideal pedalboard, plugged everything in ready to dial in your dream tone and as soon as you hit the power switch on your amp, you're greeted with a loud hum.

How you build your live pedalboard can change your entire experience onstage in the heat of battle - but consider a well built pedalboard as an extension of your instrument and part of your performance, and you'll be onto a winner!

Even if you have pedals on your pedalboard turned off, the signal from your guitar has to go through them on its way to the amp. And it's HOW the signal goes through a pedal that determines whether it will degrade before it reaches the end of the route.
