Your board always looks immaculate, Thom. And yeah, the Rockerverb is a sexy beast of an amp.

Cheers mate

that is such a nice board thom, you've always got that knack of making it look so neat and tidy.

every time i think i've got my board as i like it, something changes and i have to start again. it's like no matter how hard i try, i can't ditch my bd-2 even though the splatty decay thing is really annoying sometimes.

I was day dreaming about the Rockerverb the other day. I really enjoyed playing it with your Strat. If there was any shortscalers set up I would want its Lamp's Rockerverb+Strat. All I would need.

i agree, when i put my strat through the rockerverb, it sounded amazing. same with mike's baja tele. it felt like i didn't need anything else just guitar and amp = perfect.

That Telecaster is perfect for the minimalist.

it is one of the nicest telecasters i've played. maple neck teles just seem so right. yet a strat, to me, has to be rosewood.

those pedals with the shortscale logos on are they just loop switcher thingies?

sorry dumb it said under it

They are Saltboosters.

the only booster you'll ever need, nomorebridge

I'll be perfectly honest I'll look like a dick but I'll do it anyway

I have never quite understood what boost pedals do!.... I mean I do but I still don't

Well they... boost. Make noisey go louder, usually used for driving tube amps harder and such.

They also usually affect the tone a wee bit, my LPB-1 adds some low end and takes some highs, which means it's not too great with bridge pickups.

It's because you're not salty, and never will be

Thanks Zaphod..... I think I get it, but they are not the same things as OD pedals?

Or are they just a bit more/less subtle..... the same, or not at all?

They don't add drive, they just add volume.

If you take a very clean amp and stomp on a booster pedal at full, your guitar will just be louder, clean, but louder

Oh right..... Like a boost

thank you, that was textbook

Progrockabuse · Post by **Progrockabuse** » Fri Nov 21, 2008 3:16 pm

it's also good for increasing the gain of a overdriven amp into further saturation.

Post by **Doog** » Fri Nov 21, 2008 3:51 pm

Or a OD/distortion pedal, for that matter.
