not perfect, but given the space i have to work with it's not bad. i'm due a new pedal case soon, might go for something slightly longer.

How you finding the Ibanez Comp? Do you use it just on cleans or most settings?

it's on the bass channel, just to tighten things up after the OC-3, really. it's on all the time though. pretty damn good for a freebie.

This is the latest incarnation of my pedalboard - I added a compressor and swapped my Boss TU-2 for a TC Electronics Polytne Mini.

This looks great! I really like those small guyatone pedals.

Finally bought a board today after not having one for too long. Looking forward to gigging with it.

re-aquired my phase 45 of J7 (thanks again matey) and mounted the power supply with clever reuse of those little brackets for attaching bookcases to walls.

i'm sure the 45 (to my ears) sounds more univibe/leslie than a standard phaser pedal. makes a nice swirly sound and works nice in front of a driven amp.

still not found anything that betters my saltbooster for adding gain/volume.

i decided not to get the zoom MS-50g in the end, there was a waiting list and decided to get our lead singer to play a little guitar in whiskey in the jar so it doesn't sound too bare for the main riff.

That is a very tidy board Rob. I like the minimalistic approach. Do you have your amp channel switcher separate?

at the moment. the wood part of that board is the same dimensions as a pedaltrain nano. i reckon if i did it to pedaltrain mini length, it'd all fit on.
when i started playing in the band, i just used the saltboost and thought i'd add pedals when needed. to be honest, apart from briefly thinking of an octave pedal, i've not really needed much else. though since sticking the phaser on, it's been nice to add fast leslie or slow swirl to some slower songs.

i'm gonna see how the dual terror copes at gig levels, our drummer is quite loud. might be looking into a rockerverb 50.

It does to me too, I did read recently that a Univibe is a kind of phaser so that would make sense. I describe the Phase 45 as a kind of up and down phaser as apposed to the Phase 90 being a round and round phaser, it sounds great though - a favourite of mine, but one that wasn't being used.

Pretty lousy cell phone photo but its the best thing I have available right now.

Guitars/bass:
tele that I built at galloup guitar school, airline strat-o-tone (favorite and most abused guitar that I own)
90's Gibson SG special (also abused) and a rick-style bass that I built.

Amps:
fender RI super reverb, '72 twin reverb, 70's bassman 50 with a '67 showman 115 "tone-ring" cab

Effects:
the thing on top left of my twin is a univox echo-tech, on the top right is a tube oscillator, on the ground
starting from the left is a weird fuzz I made, a catalinbread tremolo, a vox repeat percussion copy, a MBM
1 knob fuzz, an electro harmonix memory man, a one knob fuzz face clone I made, a roland space echo,
an electro harmonix mini POG, and a TC electronic polytune.

LOVE that line up of amps. Well jealous.

Spent a couple of hours last night sorting all my pedals, cables, jacks, patch leads and shit out. Here's almost all of my current pedal collection.

Thanks! I just got the super reverb the other day for dirt cheap. Needs to be gone through to get it back to 100% but so far I've only got about $250 into it.

I want your pedals.

I need them, maybe when I die.

Looks real nice. What's the pedal with the bird on it?

It's a Wren and Cuff Box of War. Great fuzz. Loads of low end, kinda transparent, enough headroom. I really like it. Huge sounding.

I swear I do not have paid endorsements for either MXR or Electro Harmonix. I just like their stuff.

I'm using this setup at the moment, I'm still happy with the sounds I get from the G3 and the virtual battery has gotten rid of the noise it was making when daisy-chained. I could probably do with a cheap pedalboard though to keep them all together.

Guitar > Wah > TU-2 > Dyna Comp > LS-2 > MXR EQ > Memory Toy > PS-2 > Ibanez CCL > RV-7 > Amp.

Loop A on the LS-2 is just an overall volume control for my clean "channel". Loop B is my dirty "channel" Blue Box > Blue Tube.

The blue box, blue tube combo works quite nicely, its like using a blue box, Distortion+ combo only with a 3-band EQ on the dist+. Though it means I have to run the Dyna Comp outside of the LS-2 to push the Blue Tube a little (otherwise there is very little distortion) but it works.

I've had 2 CCLs. The chorus on them is awesome, the flanger not so but having the 2 in 1 pedal and switchable is brilliant.
