Went through a lot of pedals today looking for the main tone I want on "unglued" for the comp.. Ended up with the ones plugged in. Old rat, golden eagle, and I'll use the epitome for the electric mistress phaser on a rhythm track for depth
More shockingly.. Don't think I'm gonna use any fenders or Mesa. Liking this ATM.. Tube pignose and les Paul. Weird

How do you find the BFG? The opinion on them seems very split. The thought of alight weight LP with a humbucker and a P90 has always appealed to me. Also the fact they're so cheap is a big bonus.
The same one keeps coming up for sale locally, and I'm always tempted each time it comes up. I've never pulled the trigger tho as the varying reviews of these and the fact that this particular guitar has been through about 5 different owners makes me somewhat wary.

It sounds great. Took me a while to get used to playing it because I like fender necks. It's just different. It functions perfectly and I've never had trouble with it at all in 5 years. Stays in tune, good straight neck, great pickups.
I looked on eBay and they are bringing a weird range of money. Not sure what the deal is. How much would the one locally be?
I think it looks very cool. The kill switch is handy. Not only to make morello tonezz but to kill the signal for numerous realistic reasons. I can turn the poly tune on and get the same function actually but before I had it, I used the kill switch. My jag has one also.

The local one is a little over the standard preowned price here (they usually sell in the £400s), tho a trade could be an option with the current owner. They sell for around the same price as the tribute models. It's that neck P90 and weight that's appealing.
Secondhand prices crashed here after Thomann started blowing them out to clear their stock.

I love the way it sounds. Pickups are awesome. I guess that's what matters.

For my pretty penny cover its gonna be a complicated setup. I'm gonna run stereo with 2 amps (maybe 3, not sure if that's still stereo) and one guitar. I'm gonna try to use my acoustic/electric mostly and maybe my Sheraton. No bass and only hand drums. I'll get pics when I get to it. Sucks cause I have to tear down after each song and then track the bass parts and vocals for unglued first. I only have one cheap mic.. Blah etc.

This is the board I used for the other nights show.
I ran stereo for the first time in forever, with my EB Fullerton 2x10 and the venues Hot Rod Deluxe.
Sounded awesome.

Re-jigged my pedal board today - volume pedal on, removed a distortion and the Hof mini as it doesn't have enough on on the fly control (need a new reverb).

Really trippy sounds with that Boomerang! I'm a fan of the Mr. Black reverb pedals as well.

This thread will never die.
Had a show the other night. Half looped, half acoustic.
Sorry it's in multiple photos, figured this was better than a photo of the back of my car.
Used my new Lag Tremontane for the first time at a show. It sounded good, but I think I need to invest in a proper acoustic DI with an EQ on it.
Board is:
TC Polytune
EHX Micropog
Caroline Guitar Co. Haymaker
Strymon Timeline
Mr Black Supermoon (Chrome edition)
Strymon Blue Sky
Boomerang
