Post Your FC-12 and FC-6 Pedalboards Here

[Moeed Kazi]

But as soon as we got ready to go onstage for our set I had some dropouts.

Was anyone from your band on wireless apart from yourself? Like your vocalist (on a cord less mic)? I suspect frequency collision/cancellation and wifi routers to be the culprits....if everything works great at home ..... then you know what's the problem.

I don't even come close to playing venues like that and I was fed up with my Line6 wireless. Went with the Shure QLXD4 and racked it.

Great need to check out Shure surely then....

Yeah, vocals and bass where wireless but everything was fine at soundcheck and I’ve never had issues at that venue in the past with my old wireless unit. Gonna see if the cable itself is going bad which is a possibility.

I also use a G50 wireless and have never had a problem with it. Bishop the venue you played must have been a blast I’m sure.

Used a TrailerTrash Board for The FC6 --.

I did not want to take the ends of the FC6 so I made a small riser for it (out of 1/4 in x 4 wide wood boards) got it at Lowe's.

Nice looks like everything fits neatly very cool

For my purposes ... the smaller rig is fine for now. -- so if anybody is interested -- ping me and I will take some quick pictures.

Just curious. Do you like the mission engineering or EV-1 expression pedals better? Why?
Thanks,

On a Stagemaster 32x16 pedal board. Just fits. I really wish there was a spring-loaded option for the EV-1s so I didn't have to use the mission for a wah, but alas...

Oh man, I got some sweet tips from other members on the forum.

1. Put a thick heavy duty rubber band at the pedal’s heel for some sweet auto return action.

2. For the shallower sweep that many prefer for wah and whammy, you can put a spacer under either the heel or toe of the pedal. I use rubber stoppers cut to size and adhered with strong double sided tape.

I use a spring loaded Mission on my Axe III pedalboard, and a “doctored” EV2 on my Ax8 board, and I have to say... I kind of prefer the feel of the Fractal pedal with the garage mod.

I use a couple of the nice big 3M bumpers on the EV-1 that I use for wah which works great, but never thought about the rubber band! Will have to give it a go...thanks for the post!

Were you able to pin point the issue?

...Gonna see if the cable itself is going bad which is a possibility.

The cable for my wireless (Line 6 G90, but not that it matters) went intermittent on me recently. I found the center conductor had broken at the 1/4" plug connection. My attempted field repair was still intermittent, so I contacted the manufacturer (Best-Tronics) for an RMA. It was a $30 cable, so I figured it'd be worth paying the shipping to have them honor their lifetime warranty. After two email attempts over a span of about three weeks, I've still not heard from them. Glad I have a spare, but now I need to find a new source for quality custom cables.

Not sure yet. Haven’t had time to mess with it. I also wondered if having our stage scrim in front of the wireless would cause an issue. It was definitely a dropout. If it was a cable issue I would think it would be more of a cracking and pop and not like a dropout.

Different animals
The mission is spring loaded. I use that one as a wah.

Thanks, please let me know once you figure it out. I might also look in that direction.

Gigged the III with the FC12 last night, and loved every minute of it! The FC’s are amazing and the scribbles are growing on me (wasn’t a big fan at first). Loving my rig now. I have a FC12 and FC6. When I use the FC6, it fits this board with the expression pedal off to the side of the FC. That’s a spring loaded mission exp pedal on the right for wah and other effects, volume on the left. When I used the FC12 (as pic shows), the Boss Exp Pedal (volume) stores behind the FC when packed up and is easily brought out to play like the pic demonstrates. The flexibility is off the charts. Happy camper here!

First gig with the FC6. I am extremely happy with the results and such a small foot print! My only issue is with the case itself as the lip gets in the way of the bottom row just a bit, but was still usable. I might end up getting the "Glow Riser" later to solve that issue.

What case is that? You definitely want it flush as to not be in the way. This one I use, a Seismic Audio, works great. I use it upside down and mount the pedals in the lid. I’ve used it for MFC, AX8, FC’s and they are perfectly flush with edge of board, as to not get in the way at all. It’s super durable too. I had it for years.

Oh I like the looks of that one! I'm using a case from Road Cases USA.

I've used them a bunch in the past and been pleased with their builds. I'll keep yours in mind when it's time to look again though, so thank you for the input!
