eventhough there have been a lot changes, there have been a lot of CONSTANTS on Haze's board as well. i think a mix of dynamic & static is quite admirable.

Haze which other TC pedal are you thinking about getting.

Things have changed around quite a bit but it's still the same basic chain
dirt, delay, reverb
Mist of it went on before I met up with the current band I play in. Before thy it was just dicking around. It's lately been about refining my sound and the parts that I play that tie in the whole bands efforts.

Wah pedal has always been there for subtle things and serves as a volume pedal to fill my ambient side while at home or jamming with buddies

dirt is dirt, looking for a set and forget sound that clings to my amps natural characteristics

delay for adding lots of depth and for lead bits. Also plenty if songs on our setlist that require it. I've had problems with the MB being consustant and the CC cutting through live. The Nova does just that

reverb mainly for home aswell, I usually have it set for a nice spring during the whole setlist. Plenty if black keys covers!

Looper is for fun and practice. I also start out our gigs with an ambient loop and then it goes into hard rock TONEZ!

I bought a Pedaltrain 2 board (with flight case) earlier this year and strapped the Voodoo Labs PP2+ underneath. I was apprehensive about spending that kind of bread on a pedalboard setup, but I figured with all the money I've blown on pedals over the years, I should at least lay out the bread for a proper living quarters for some of them. After I put it together, I was swapping things around quite a bit; I've finally settled on a layout.

Image
(top, L-R) Boss RE-20 Space Echo, EHX Small Clone, EHX Microsynth, EHX Stereo Pulsar
(bottom, L-R) Boss SD-1, Boss GE-7, EHX LPB-1, EHX POG2, Boss TU-2


I was going to clean things up a bit with some zipties, but nothing underneath is really flopping around. The only long cable there is the one that goes from the SD-1 to the Pulsar, and it's really no big deal.

Since adding the POG2, nothing has changed; prior to that, I had the Micro POG in its place. Occasionally I'll swap the SD-1 for an old Big Muff, a ShredMaster/DriveMaster, or a Ruetz mod Rat2, but the SD-1 just seems to suit the style of music we play much better.

This is played into my trusty '73 Fender Vibrosonic amp with either a Lace-equipped '08 MIM Tele or '90s Danelectro 59DC.

I've never ever been more happy or satisfied with my setup.

It's pretty much where I want it to be now. The green pedal in the January photo (fuzz factory copy) is still around, I just need to wire it back up and the red pedal is a Llama copy I don't like very much and I'll likely swap the circuit for something else at some point. I still want the behringer bass synth and a pitchblack, but otherwise I don't really have any pedal lust at the moment. Thankfully.

I now have the task of arranging them into three signal chains. One for bass, one for dirt tones and one for clean tones. It'll br easier to trim it down a little (probably sell the semaphore trem and a couple of dirt pedals) once I've started doing that. It's terrible that I'm at a point where I can't tell if I've forgotten to include anything in that photo.

avj - I'm still not that familiar with it but it's fucking lovely.

doog - it's a red llama copy but I'm going to switch it out for something else at some point. I have the guts of a harmonic percolator type sat around that I might drop back in the box (i took them out to put the llama in).

SHO, Saltboost and ?

I think i'll try building a pedal in the new year. Would like a "bass fuss" and they seem like an ideal first build.

Me too - literally. I bought the Rat and the Ultrafuzz from James at the same time as I sold him the Vibrochamp, and the Teaser Stallion I sold in the same deal (was also Hurb's, before I had it).
