These going into a Peavey Classic 30...

that is a fucking sweet board owen, you can cover pretty much all bases with that. FTW.

i'm about to become the most hated member after i post this picture of my latest purchase. to be fair, it sounded good through my blues deluxe and it was second hand for £50, i thought why not. it's pretty good for boosting my dirt channel for lead work.

No Aug and I are the most hated members on the board.
But the tubescreamer brings you to a close third. /kidding

Hi,

My name is Peter. I've been a little bit of a r0od no0b and haven't shared any details about my guitar crap (probably because it's not really that impressive). I'll post photos later down the track (once I borrow a proper camera) but for now:

Marshall Blues Breaker II
VOX Wha-Wha V847-A
EHX Big Muff Pi (Black Russian)
EHX Clone Theory Stereo
Subdecay Echobox
BOSS TR-2 Tremolo
BOSS TU-2 Chromatic Tuner
BOSS NS-2 Noise Suppressor (waste of money/paper weight)

Some of these are going into my Marshall Vintage Modern Combo

If you have any queries regarding the above please don't hesitate to contact me via the available resources,

Kind Regards,

Tasty amp you have there.

Thanks bro. Apart from the tube rattle, very happy with it.

Yeah I love those things, and the colour. Deep Purple Tolex with JMP styling.

The Marshall BB-2 is a great pedal. Really underrated.
And the Echo Box is great, I love Subdecay.

Thanks Mike. BB-2 was my first pedal ever (cheap too). Still trying to find my sound at the moment in the aural forest of wonder and excitement.

Now it looks like a big Haitian mama.

is that just stuck on, or has it been recovered?
I like it by the way

You got it right the first time. My first pedal was the Boss HM-2 Heavy Metal cheese grater distortion. Apparently these are popular now because some band called Swervedriver uses them. I can only assume they like their guitar sound to be awful. I hated it. After that I got a Zoom 1010 and a Crybaby. Inauspicious beginnings.

first pedal was a crybaby.

short of spontaneous bursts of voodoo chile followed by involuntary bursts of shame, it rarely gets plugged in anymore. i don't know whether mine is just an anomally or it's all of them but it just doesn't work with distortion. it's like on or off no sweep and i'm all about teh fuzzes so that doesn't really work out.

I sold mine before i was in the pedal game. I should have kept it and converted it into an Expression pedal.

My first pedal was a Rocktek chorus pedal lol.

I find the same thing with the Vox V847. That thing and the amp, ok. Moment you add a OD/Fuzz pedal, and it's as if there is no sweep - pierce your head with an ice pick or move your amp under the carpet... of a basement... in Puerto Rico, sir? shite. I don't do too much wah-nkery anyway.

Mike wrote:Cheers. It's wicked to use a board where I made the pedals (except the tuner and DMM). I'm planning a Small Clone next and then I'll probably stick the DMM under the bed to accumulate value. Then it'll be all handmade except for the Tuner.

Then after that I'm gonna try and build a pedal with a TUBE in it.

Dunno how I missed this post. I'll be very interested in the outcome of this.

The Tube or the Small clone?

I found some use out of the HM-2 by turning the gain all the way down, cranking the volume and using it as a boost into a jacked up valve amp. It has an utterly bizarre EQ though, very hard to get right and very easy to mess up with the slightest touch.

I also feel like a rude noob for lack of pics, but I don't own a camera, so you guys are going to have to wait a little while before you get to be disgusted at my extremely ugly and BROOTAL les paul sludge metal set up.

Yeah, the problem is that the "Hi Color" control is a Treble, and Mids pot. So to dial in anything which is not completely scooped you also add in a fair amount of shrill treble.

The Tube. I've been thinking adding something along these lines cos I'm a solid state user.

It would probably not be a pedal but an amp top thingie unless I can either place the tube inside or find a way to protect it from STOMPIN' BOOTS
