^ Hurb is so pleased, he hasn't even spotted the humbuckers.

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.
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

Not entirely right this, Zaphod my old love: a lot of boosters add loads of characteristics to your sound; the Rangemaster being a prime example. There are boosts and then there are clean boosts.

haha,
i actually bought that guitar when i was a little unaware of what i was doing and trying to get 'da kurtdz' (is that what you say around here?)
well not really but i had a strat so i wanted something a little different
i really wish i got a proper (jap) jaguar, but i was scared of the bridges as id read all these dodgy reviews about them and wasnt aware of using mustang saddles on the bridge

The Saltbooster isn't a perfectly flat frequency response, but it does add a lot of awesome to your sound.

Yeah very true, I think I said it before but the LPB-1 makes bridge pups go a lil muddy when you engage it. Need a saltbooster at some point.

I can tune the Saltbooster to have less bass quite easily, it's all simple stuff.

i may need to send my saltbooster in for a few little tweaks.

Did you send Box Of Mike too? I'll get them back to you quick smart mate, I promise!

I haven't posted a pedal board in here for ages, mainly because I haven't had one and have just thrown loads of pedals around and mixed it up all the time.
I need some order again though so I am trying to knock this together.
My main aims are
A)size I need something as small as possible so big pedals are out and as little pedals as possible.
B) need to be as noisy as possible but not in a wow I just switched a pedal on kind of way.
C) tidyness
D) least hiss or hum as possible.
E) AWESOME

Obviously this isn't finished so I don't know how it's gonna sound all together. but I have faith it will tick all boxes for a bit.

I'm in the same process at the moment seeing as after ASCII every week now me and Tim are jamming. So I need to get maximum sonic potential with the most portability.

Hey cool you bought one of Tim's Muffs.

Ha. Tim was actually talking about this guy selling a Harmonic Perc covered in gingham and he was thinking of buying it. I told him he can buy with confidence.

Shortscale = Real Life.

Tim does good work, his pedals look dead pretty. He needs to show me gutshots though!

Mike inside the muff looks tidy although naughty tim has taped up the board, I hope that is so stuff doesn't short on things rather him being goopy and secretive.

got this amp in the mail yesterday after selling the matamp. it's an early '68 with the blackface circuit. sounds amazing.

i've also been enjoying the sounds of this op-amp big muff i bought from inscho.
