Hi Rachel...my sister and I are learning to play Bass Uke ..thanks to your excellent tutorial video s ..I have named you the” Welsh Wizzard“ ...and after finding this video ...I think I have made a great nickname for you .you really are a “ wizzard “ the way you teach and explain things in a simple easy to understand manner .. I will be making a pedal board for sure ..thanks for all your time and effort it takes to pass your knowledge on to so many ..giving us so much enjoyment ..yes ..you really are a Wizzard.👏👏👏👏 👍🤠
Thank You for such a lovely comment Jack - I shall now use the title - Welsh Wizzard! Fab to hear you and your sister are enjoying. Warmest regards from Wales.
Brilliant video. Great tips and information. My current pedal board is a Boss cs3 compression / sustain - Boss ps5 pitch shifter - Joyo AC Tone (Vox amp sim) - Joyo analog delay - Joyo atmosphere reverb - Lekato tuner / looper - Xvive DI / cabinet sim going to either or both a rechargeable Samson P.A speaker (sometimes with a additional mixer) and Boss Katana 7w mini. All powered by a rechargeable power bank. Everything mostly fitting into my backpack. The only things that need to be plugged in or require batteries is the Boss Katana and the optional mixer. I have room for one more pedal if i wished eventually - most likely a vocal pedal. It is set up like a effects loop separating the groups of pedals so that my reverb and delay is as crystal as possible. The Boss Katana is i am using it with give me additional dirt if i need it when not using the AC Tone ... I love the jangly Vox tone ... and most of what i will do is (acoustic) folk rock & soft rock. The boss cs3 can also give me a little bit of clean-ish dirt too. I am in the process of re-writing my music sheets to include notation of what effects if any are used as a reminder if case i forget what sounds i want my board to make...
Thanks Troy, sounds like you have a fantastic set up. I bet you get get some awesome sounds with it. I have looked at using one of the big power banks, maybe a Jakery one day, just to see how portable I can get!. Thanks for your very cool comment.
@@UkuleleWales the power banks are very helpfyul. No batteries needed. For my rig i only need batteries for the Samson mixer if i use it. The Samson PA I use does not have a lot of input slots in the even someone wants to sing/play with me. As my katana is only 7w i plug it into the Samson P.A or the mixer to give it a little help if i need more sound. in creating my rig i wanted to create something that is very portable where i do not need to plug into a wall socket if i dont have to. I wanted it to be as versitile as possible in the effects so i can make all kinds of sound and be able to accomadate a variety of genres also and eras even if I do not use it as much but it is there if I do. I believe it is better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. Eventually i will upgrade my Katana to something bigger such as a Boss-Roland Cube. But for now the baby Katana one suits my needs,

Just revisited this vid before putting together my first mini pedal board. It's so helpful! Now I'm off to play with velcro and patch cables, and my 3 mini pedals: TC Electronic Hall of Fame Reverb, Ibanez analog chorus, and Ibanez Tube Screamer. I really love playing with the pedals, all sound great with my baritone/MiSi pickup, and it's so fun! Thank you for all the inspiration, Rachel!
You do sound like you have been having fun Jules, wish I could hear / see you rocking it up! I've been finishing off the BUFX today, it's now powered and portable. :-)
Really enjoyed this. I think I will get a Enya taimane. Blue ukuele. Saving up for it and challenging myself to keep practicing and it will be my reward. You have the best you tube site on everything electric ukulele !!!
Thank You Bonnie, love reading all of your very supportive and positive comments. Look forward to hearing about the blue Enya Taimane once you've saved up - a very beatiful uke!!
Totally great. I had no idea at all what a pedal board was or what pedals do. This video and the one before it were super enlightening. And I have a birthday coming up.
Nice! Do you have a shopping guide for beginners? Like to understand what the basic setup of equipment is needed & budget for starting to learn an electric uke. I have a feeling it all piles up into a round sum...
Hi, it really does depend on how much you want to spend. These are all very much budget pedals (I think I have mentioned prices in various vids), most of them are between £15 and £30, yes it does add up but you can do it slowly. I would definitely start with reverb, delay and overdrive if you are looking for basics. More pedal vids very soon.
Hi Sean, I'm no expert but yes, they are very similar sounding, one reason I haven't bothered with a flanger yet. They are both modulation, the phaser is a sort of envelope filter whereas the flanger gives more of a chorus sound. I will get a flanger one day and do a comparison.
@@UkuleleWales oh okay, thanks. It was my birthday a week ago and i have lots of money. I play drums aswell so i have been buying drums stuff, and i decided i would get some new pedals, all i had before was a distortion but i felt i really needed to upgrade my set up, so thank you very much
Thanks Rachel,Nice clear and methodical video to follow. Bit expensive. My Amp comes with 8 effects built in but no reason to say I would not add something it does not have. Question for you. Is a Foot Switch another name for a Pedal or is it something different? Would an Effects Looper Pedal also go on the board if there was space?
Hi Paul, glad you liked the video. I agree, it's a lot of money but you can always do it little by little and of course, use what built in effects you can. Yes, a looper is a great idea, I do have one on my bigger pedal board and will try swapping in and out. A foot switch is normally (in my understanding) a pedal dedicated to either the amp for switching things on or off or for using to maybe change volume for another pedal. I may well be wrong but I wouldn't describe a pedal as a foot switch if that answers you, if not, please ask away again.
@@UkuleleWales Hi Rachel, One answer I found for a Foot switch is that when it it pressed it bypasses any special effects that might be playing through a Mixer. Whether it can be connected to your pedal board and by pass any effects on the pedal board I don't know. I now own an Audio Interface and a Mixer. I just have to learn how to connect it all up and use it. Nothing ventured,nothing gained is my Motto.
@@SunshineG777 I have a Fishman Amp. It comes with Vocal, Reverb, Echo, Delay and Flanger on 2 channels. I think most Amps will have some of these. Anything extra and I think one would need the pedals demonstrated in the video.

This was super informative and interesting. Thank you for showing us how to do this. Looks super fun.
Gald you enjoyed Wendy. It is super fun and just a little bit addictive but you can always start small.

Awesome little pedalboard. I enjoyed your video thanks for sharing. I play a uke myself, looks like I’ll have to build me a mini board.
Thanks Stewart, the pedals are really great fun and messing with pedalboards are even better.

I thought you might enjoy it Cate! A birthday you say, well it would be rude not to at least make a little start. ;-)
Great video thank you
Glad it was helpful Janet, I must do some more pedals soon.
Great video, very inspiring 👍😜…
Glad to have helped Bob.
Another great video Rachael can you do one on a looper pedals.👍🏴😊
Yes. Loopers!
Yes, I'll try and get something done about loopers soon. Thanks Margaret and Cate

This is great. Which pedal fx would work well for playing Europa by Santana? Thanks so much.
I'd say Overdrive for Santana, maybe then reverb and delay.
@@UkuleleWales Thanks. That’s exactly what I bought.
Awesome! I have a handful of those Kmise pedals but no board. Lol
Yet! You have no pedal board yet. Yet is my favourite word LOL!
May i ask, what is the difference between a phaser and a flanger, because to me they seem very similar
Hi Sean, I'm no expert but yes, they are very similar sounding, one reason I haven't bothered with a flanger yet. They are both modulation, the phaser is a sort of envelope filter whereas the flanger gives more of a chorus sound. I will get a flanger one day and do a comparison.
