current pedalboard, post it.

i rebuilt my bass board last night. i slimmed it down to the bare essentials. the comp and sansamp are for church where i need to warm up the solid state amps, they do a great job and make the amps sound/feel like my v4b. the fulltone fulldrive 2 has been modded to bassdriver specs. 3 caps? whatever it was, i also changed the vol pot to get more throw on it. i put a 50k in there instead of the 100k. i've forgone the looper pedals and tuner mute as i think i'm the only one who can hear the difference. :bonk anyways, here's what i'm running.

Only one cable required.

I have no pics, but...
BOSS TU-2, Vox Wah, Ibanez TS-9, Voodoo Labs Micro Vibe, BOSS DD-5 Delay.

No pix either, but I've been just using a Timmy into one of the reverb combos. Just grooving on the sounds of the instruments themselves.

My pedalboard is undergoing changes.

The setup that worked well with my Mesa Express and tweed Deluxe clone- Fulltone Clyde Wah, BMF Fat Bastard, Fulltone '69 Pedal, BYOC DD80 Delay, Voodoo Lab Tremolo, Tuner- doesn't work as well with my Vibrolux Reverb.

With that amp I do not need the Tremolo and the amp does not respond as well with the '69 pedal but works really well with my Fulldrive 2 Mosfet and AMZ Mini Booster.

If I could afford it I'd set up a second pedalboad for use with the VR that would include Wah, Mini Booster, Fulldrive, delay and tuner.

Interesting. I haven't found the mini-booster works as well with BF style amps - at least with single coils. It does wonders with tweeds, though. I should try it again with humbuckers. Fuzzes also don't work so well with BF amps, for the most part. I like the Timmy and the OCD for different dirt styles. I'm actually finding the Tube Driver in the M9 sounds really nice, too.

I'm going to get on the list for a Tim today.

I like the mini booster with my ES135. It gives me a cranked Freddie King type of sound. The Fulldrive does that too with the switches set to CompCut and Mosfet.

Just called Paul C. Wait time is now ~3-4 months, or September.

While I'm excited to not have to wait so long, it's a bit sad to see that his incoming orders must be trailing off a bit.

OTOH, I suspect if he ever gets caught up, he can start delivering them his dealers, so people can actually test them out before buying.

Mine is now a GT-10...

http://www.bazaar-world.com/uploads/...53211857-5.jpg

Mine is a bit more complex....rebuild in planning. I am pondering making 2 loops - 1 for each channel of a BF amp or going back to a 2 amp setup with a 50 wat Marshall 1x12 combo on top of a matching 1x12 and the current piggyback DRRI I have built...also then using some kind of ABY setup...

Generally when we gig (has not been so much lately) we have enough space...so plans are being made...

Hi there... :hi:

that's mine... no plans for changes anymore...

The new set up for the vibrolux.

Edit: I tried to load a jpg pic but it says invalid.
How do you post pics around here?lol

Gretsch Dynasonic DuoJet into

Ross D/P Combination>Tim

into homemade 2x10 Super Reverb

The Tim is usually on. Knobs ~12:00, to warm up the Super Reverb when it's below 3. For real dirt, I kick on the distortion side of the D/P. The Tim may be swapped out for the Timmy, just for size considerations.

Words can't describe how well this simple setup works for my current musical situation. Of course, I can manipulate the reverb and trem to my heart's content.

http://ewilkins.com/fender/rp_355.jpg

Mine is a work in progress...i.e. still finding the pieces of the puzzle I need.

For instance, the Angry fuzz will likely be replaced with an MXR Slash Octave Fuzz when I can afford one, and the DS1 will probably be replaced with an MXR Modified OD. I haven't decided whether to keep the Behringer stuff just yet, but it actually sounds clean and doesn't add to the overall noise floor, so I might just keep 'em. They sound pretty good for sub-$35 toys.

When I finally settle on the specific pieces, I'm gonna wire my board with Lava or George L's and run much of the cabling underneath (or at least clean it up as much as possible)....

But for now - here it is...I put multiple colors of Duct tape on there - it's cheap 'n' cheerful 'n' fun...

The pix need to be hosted elsewhere, like at Lilypix, then linked.

Another 1 cable solution :)

http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r...y/P1000826.jpg

Here's my Swiss-army solution:

http://www.gravitymusic.com/tempimages/pedals.jpg

Zendrive, Tone Press and Vox wah, when I use them, go in the front end... the M13 lives in the effects loops of the Rebel. Just about everything you can imagine here. A lot more than I can imagine, that's for sure. :)

Forgive the gobs of grain... pretty low light down here.

I'll have to take a pic of my board and show it here.

It has not changed as much as I thought it would in my earlier reply. I think the only real differences are that I replaced my big H&K Rotosphere with a Tech 21 Rotochoir that actually fits on the board and replaced my old Fender pedal tuner with a Turbo Tuner.

Glad that is working for you. I still fire up the M9 I got from time to time, and it's a lot of fun to play with, but at the end of the day, I really like something boneheaded simple to work with. In much the same way that I have a cordless screwdriver somebody gave me a decade ago still in the clamshell pack.

Your situation can make the most of an endless variety of sounds. Me, I just want stuff that works predictably.

For example, in my overly complex two pedal setup, the Tim gives me a bit more warmth and the D/P gives me a fistful of different modulation sounds from very subtle to extreme. The distortion side of the D/P doesn't sound "natural" in that TGP modern sense. It does, however sound like 70's rock records, which in my opinion, is not only as "legitimate" as a sound, but also makes me stand out from every other yutz out there, yet in a familiar way.

It works great for the current band which is very much tilted in a early 70's SoCal vibe. Little Feat, Asylum records, Buckingham/Nicks era Fleetwoods and the simplest of 'Dan tunes, as well as some N. The option anxiety of the M9 would take it in a direction that wouldn't work nearly as well.

Crappy flash photo!

Other than the changes mentioned above (the Rotochoir and Turbo Tuner replacing similar pedals), this has been my setup for years. Being an amateur blues guitarist, I can get away with a simple setup.

You've been playing that for a while. Did it take you a while to tweak it in, or are you using it unconventionally? It's not the most popular box on the block, but I have no doubt you are getting great sounds out of it.

This is the 355 (three pedals), previously I used the 255 (two pedals). Makes it a lot more usable live.

I have a very small set of presets that I use. It's pretty simple to tweak using the USB and computer. I plug it in to my amp and my computer and adjust it on screen. No need to bend over and try to navigate the very complex interface using a few knobs and a couple of characters.

The two presets I use most are just a bit of TS 808 overdrive (very close to the real thing) and a touch of short delay and another with more gain and a long delay. The whah switches in or out during any preset and that's set to a clyde type. I use a flanger, a phaser and leslie added to the other presets for three more. The stomp mode is very handy to turn overdrive or time/modulation effects on or off.

There is so much more that it can do, but you have to look past the factory presets which are damn near all junk. The amp sims, octave, compression, whammy pedal and such are all pretty darn good. The whammy pedal sound is the same digitech whammy and cheaper than buying the digitech whammy by itself.

I happen to think this RP series is great. I bet most people couldn't blind A/B this thing from most pedals.

I have on constant pedal that I always always play through and is always on - an older ZVex Super Hard On. It's such a great boost/buffer. Thinking of picking up a Centaur to do the same thing a bit differently.

Other than that things fluctuate wildly. Here's what I was playing with the other day in the living room;

http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i2...k/5168ab77.jpg

4MS Noise Swash,
EHX Ravish + 2x expression pedals
Gristleizer clone
EHX Freeze
ZVex Tremorama
EHX Deluxe Memory Man
EHX 2880 looper and control pedal
The ever present Super Hard On.

The best effect is still the trem on the Twin though!

I think you caught me between edits.:comp26:

Kap'n - I like the concept of "option anxiety," and I know exactly what you mean. In a way, I feel like I've finally killed off my own version of that disorder, which had something to do with not owning anything you were going to use ALL THE TIME EVERY DAY (Bog knows what scolding from my Dad cemented that one in place). My recent guitar-and-pickup binge is the proof of the cure. :arhhh:

About half the time, the M13 gets turned on just for one of the reverbs. The other half of the time, it's for one or two effects for a specific sound. I haven't even tried the looper yet, or heard more than 2/3 of the models, I'd guess. And I'm not even gonna feel bad about it. :) Nowadays, having stuff like this feels more like being a painter with a complete set of oil paints... if I never use that tube of rare Celadon Green for anything but one little highlight in a still life one day, then I will be glad to have had it laying around.

The looper works very well. Much better than the dedicated JamMan looper pedal I had.

@ Rikenjangle

"Comp/Delay/Overdrive/Overdrive??

Haha,my pic is so big,i couldn't find the quote mark but i don't use the two overdrives together,i use the tube screamer for leads only and i don't always have the delay on.My sound is mostly clean through the dyna comp only at very low settings and the vibrolux.The sparkle drive is for when we jam covers like BTO or rocky mountain way and a few Floyd songs.

Ah...see I just leave my delay on nearly all the time, 'cause my amps don't have much in the way of ambience and I like a little bit of audio sludge on top.

My Vox AC15VR has reverb but it's very subtle and the Egnater Tweaker has none. With the Tweaker I use a Nanoverb from Alesis but I have to leave it barely perceptible or it takes away all the punch from the sound.

Hence, the nearly-always-on delay.

Nice, simple setup. Is that a volume pedal or wah or both?

http://www.guitarmania.co.uk/ekmps/s...edal-700-p.jpghttp://http://www.guitarmania.co.uk/...edal-700-p.jpg

Here it is. Loop master loops the verb, trem, and tuner in/out of the chain. Top left is a homemade channel/verb switcher for my amp.
Bottom right is two SHOs inna box. (recognize that one, chuck..? All the best, amigo)

Johnny - that's just volume. I've had a variety of wahs over the years and I make 'em all sound like crap!

I'm not as enamoured with the Memory Boy these days. Can't seem to get rid of the chorusy effect - I just want a bit of delay/slap back to fatten things up. Got enough nice reverb and trem on my amps. Also some chirpy artefacts in there as well. But that's E-H for ya! Boss DD-whatever didn't do it for me either.

Try a Garagetone Axle Grease, or T Rex Tap Delay. I have both, and am not a delay guy, and they sound GREAT!!!

+1 on the T Rex. I've had one on my board for several years now and almost never shut it off. Great pedal and I've tried lots of delays before scoring the T Rex.

Thanks boys - I'll look into those options!

Just finished building this project... need to add velcro to hold down pedals and figure out how best set them up... this was fun!

Wow! Nice work. What will it weigh, fully loaded?

Good question. The back and bottom are 1/4" plywood, but it will probably be pretty heavy anyways. Since it will stay in the man-cave and rarely move, it wasn't a real consideration.

http://elderly.com/images/new_instruments/135N/L6M9.jpg
http://www.pedalsforhire.net/images/timmy-od.jpg

The M9 is set up (by position)

1. Tube Comp or Tube Drive
2. Phaser or Opto Tremolo
3. Spring reverb or Tape Echo (dry through)

No, I can't be bothered with more than one "scene." Am I lame, or what? Most of the other effects in there are fun toys - especially the 70's guitar synth emulations, but there's not a lot in there I would use in a 'real' setting with the music I play.

Tremolo and echo are set to 1/8 note tap tempo. Dotted eights are easy to do by tapping two quarters followed by two eights. Phaser is set to a permanent slow swirl. The "Tube Comp" - allegedly based on a Teletronix LA-2A, is one of the best guitar compressors I've heard. You get all the squash, and all the pop.

This, fed into a tweed Super sets me up for all of the tones I need - at any volume, in my current band.

Mine looks like this, but I've made a few minor pedal changes since this was taken.

It all fits into this nice SKB case with storage room underneath for power strips, cables, a compact guitar stand, etc.!

I was wondering what order you had them in. I know some of the pedals, but not positive on the blue, red, yellow and MXR ones.

Boss TU-2
Bad Monkey
Swollen Pickle
Crybaby 535Q
MXR Carbon Copy
MXR Phase 100
BBE Orange Crush (Compression)
BBE Sonic Stomp
Boss BF3 Flanger
Pedal Pad Patch Pad

If I had to pick an order, I'd go:

Boss TU-2
Crybaby
Phase 100
Orange Crush
Bad Monkey/Swolen Pickle (whichever order sounds better)
Flanger
MXR Carbon Copy
BBE Sonic Stomp

The alternate chain I would consider is one of the dirt pedals directly in front of the phaser. YMMV, etc.

Patch pad isn't actually an effect, but a power suppliy, right?
