Well perhaps I've been posting in the wrong areas or maybe this area just needs a little more love. As the title says show off and tell us about what pedals or pedal board you are using with your ukulele.
I'm running a Godin Mulituke into Fishman Loudbox Mini. After several years of that I though hey what about some pedals for music/sound augmentation. I picked up a Zoom G1X4 to get my feet wet. Lots of fiddling with the computer-machine-settings. If that's your thing then there are many digital options out there. I did learn some things from the G1X4 to apply to the next step. I for sure wanted dials and setting I could easily see and change at my fingertips. Wanted more "acoustic" options and the ability to get loud and "dirty". I looked at many offerings. Of course the Zoom A1X had some features I liked and inexpensive as well, but then again the interface aspect was not appealing. The T Rex Soul Mate Acoustic was very interesting indeed but would have spent all my budget. ( I still ended up a little overbudget but like the options I have.) So I went for the ZOOM AC 3 Acoustic Creator. Very happy so far. Not sure I'll use all the guitar modeling features but the other features fit well with an ukulele. Then for the oddball part I've paired it up with a EH Turnip Greens, a Ibanez 850 Fuzz, a Donner Echo Delay. Clean and acoustic or loud and dirty I get the best of what I might want. There certainly some compromises here and plenty of other options. I may look for a looper and drum tracks down the line. Can't wait to hook it up to my son's 100W Fender and open it up a bit. I put all the pedals on a Alcam board and have an Eventide mini powerbank. Aclam is out of Spain. Shipping was outrageous but I had it in about 4.5 days an it is a quality product. No velcro! But space is taken up with the brackets that hold everything in place. Powerbank is held underneath. A carry bag came along with the kit. The Aclam was available in the USA but I still would have needed accessories shipped from Spain so overall getting everything from the source was cheaper than going through more than one source.
So what is the present signal chain??
Godin to the Soul Food to the 850 Fuzz to the AC3 to the Delay to the Holy Grail Max to the Fishman.
I was inspired to buy the Godin from watching Brian Pi'ikea Vasquez

Perhaps someday I can play something like this as well.
