Hi, I’m Samuel and I’m new around here.

This is a picture of my pedals to break the ice.



I haven’t really used any of this equipment since I stopped playing in a band a few years ago, but I thought I’d start playing again. Added a DigiTech DigiDelay to replace the Ibanez DL5 (which has started distorting the repeats) and one of those Johnny Shredfreak power-supplies.

I’ll probably lose the DL5 and one of the distortion pedals when I’ve found what I’m looking for, and add a reverb pedal at the end (probably a Holy Grail).

Anyway, nice to be here.

Welcome

ah, soundtanks... how i love thee.

Yeah, I got that for like £15 six years ago after I heard the first Interpol record. It’s had a lot of use, but only just started to show it.

90s style dod grunge! my one true love.



well, no, but still. welcome aboard.

The Grunge will always have a place in the part of my heart reserved for cheap-sounding ’90s distortion pedals.

Traynor Reverb master Fender 2x15 and cheap 4x12
At most shows I just use the 2x15.

highly jealous of the bassman cabinet. I had a lead on one but it was bought out from under me.

Not quite CB and OCD- it's my pedalboard mainstay. Absolutely top notch.

I've yet to see what a DLS can do. Mighty tempted though. Triple drive?

One day Mike is going to make me a 4-way: Saltbooster - CB - OCD - DLS

I got this one without the speakers, it has an eminence big ben and a weber thames in it now.
I need to get ahold of another bassman.

I'll hunt down an old bassman cab one of these days. The only thing I'd worry about is the bass frequencies drowning out the highs.

I meant to ask, do you want me to go ahead and order a Big Box for this or not?

I wasn't implying I was waiting on you to do so
And thanks, but right now am skint! Have just paid for James Bassman.
But will give you a shout at some point mate.

Nae worries, was hoping I hadn't dropped the ball!

i believe that was the one that use to belong to me. that was my first ever pedal.

i love the incestuous nature of shortscale pedal boards

there's loads of cross pollination on some of these boards. i think nearly all my pedals are shortscale made or traded.

66 duo sonic II with a 66 tremolux head into a 70's univox cab i put a jensen mod 15 100 watter into, thing is evil.

03 avri jazzmaster with horses blanket

66 duo sonic II alone

sg classic 04

sepiatone jazzmaster into my 65 bandmaster head with a vox 2x12 cab i loaded with warehouse british leads

mij jaguar that is my main live guitar at this point in time, very reliable and nice sounding.

mim duo sonic, 66 duo sonic II i sold like a jackass, 74 musicmaster bass i sold like a jackass and 74 mustang I still have

I don't take pictures of my pedals but I have the following : 80's mxr + distortion, original Rat, ehx holy stain, some ibanez delay pedal, a crazy homemade bass fuzz, little big muff pii, 3 various tuner pedals, phase 90. and that is all. I only run 2 at a time although I am trying to get an old dearmond volume pedal, i love those and that will mean I will run 3 pedals at a time.

Cheers, dude

I’ve only just started using the Sonic Distortion regularly so I’m still getting used to it, but yeah it’s alright. The tone pot gives you a lot of scope for making it sound awful, but there are a couple of nice (if not quite generic) sounds in there.
