argh another person with a shoegazer.

i really want one but they're proper expensive.

not the most exciting purchase, but got a good deal on it. i brought an amp stand, was sick of not hearing myself when it was on the floor. looks better than the beer-crate or pub chair version.

Really nice clean board. Im interested in what you use the holy stain for though, which effect on it do you use the most?

Thanks. I bought the Holy Stain for it's Reverb (which I like much more than the Holy Grail), but I also like to use the Holy Stain's fuzz after the ModTone delay. It's tremolo mode is okay, but I rarely use this type of effect. Same goes for it's pitch shift mode. I'm not a big fan of multi-effects and the Holy Stain is far from perfect, but it's certainly usable and it's inexpensive.

welcome to the boards, kestrel. that's one nice board. curious what those two little pedals are. the little blue one next to the liquid chorus and that little orange once bottom right.

edit: silly me didn't use his eyes. what kinda flavor delay/chorus are they? vintage/analogue or modern/digital or hybrid?

The ModTones are both analogue. They were recent purchases so I decided to try them out. Not bad actually. They sound surprisingly good and are very inexpensive. I think the most expensive pedal on the board is the GigaDelay. The Devi Ever ShoeGazer I bought used so they're all very much "workman's" pedals to me.

just a quick snap of my new pedalboard. i got the kinsman in the end, one reason due to funds and the second reason it was on clearance. few sprays of spary adhesive to stick the backing down again and we're in business.

my last pedalboard was ok, but a little too small and i didn't like the tilt on it. this is a big bigger, meaning the real echo can get an outing.

Looks spiffy.

i find that i can get most of the sounds i need with a little amount of gear. the jcm/plexi switch gets used a lot, classic rock sounds are plexi and modern sounds are jcm.

its always been there but i've never asked, whats with the white strip on the wah??

it's the warning sticker that is on top of a wah when you buy it new. tells you about using a power supply with the wah etc. i took the one off mine when i got it, not taken it off my new wah yet. was on there when fran gave it me.

Different knobs on a few pedals, and after a long jam today, [3 hours actually - Thats Stairway to Heaven 23 Times!] i decided to put the Box of Rock back on the board. I'll have to look into a DLS before too long... we'll see what happens.

Knob Switch:


I could fit 3 bronco knobs on this if i float the bias knob a bit, but it looked squished that way, Mustang knob will do for now

Have gone back to the Diago board to fit everything I want on - obviously the latest addition is the Dirty Little Secret.
Redid all my George L's this morning and it's all velcro'd. Satisfying.

you need to give that board a hoover, son.

I'll give the missus a shout

THE TRIANGLE OF BASS BOOST POWER.



i didn't intentionally setup my pedals this way, it's just the way my board is.

FYI with all of them on it sounds awful.

That is a sweet picture, reece.
What does the whole board consist of?

weird lighting and messy on account of me having no velcro to hand so everything can slippy slide but here it is.

supervibe and cool cat transparent OD soon to be leaving the pedalboard.

when i get the blue box from james i might move TGD, HP, superfuzz and the blue box to like a "noisemaking" board, my treble is leaking all over the floor at the moment.

Current setup- Saltbooster will be back soon!

AMP> Pb&J delay > Boss CH-1 > Danophobe Trans drive. > T rex mudhoney > korg pitchback > GEETAR

Danophobe trans drive is just boosting the mudhoney.
Every now and again i'll swap it out for a grumbly wolf mk.2 (trans drive that is)

i think you've got the amp and the guitar mixed up champ.

but hang on, no, the delay and tuner would make sense that way around but the transparent OD wouldn't be boosting the mudhoney where it is.

i'm confused.

haha, well, yea I think he has everything in the right order but the arrows are in the opposite direction of how most would concieve the signal flow.
