Welcome! I need to brush up my effects knowledge, I know nothing of this Philosopher King or Baby Box. Post your guitar(s) too...

I haven't posted a gear photo in ages. Here's my current setup:



Squier VM Jaguar > Crybaby Wah > Guitar Tech Analog Delay > Behringer Super Fuzz > Boss DD3 > Behringer TU300 > Laney LV100

There is now literally nothing left from the first ever gear photo I posted, although admittedly the (now shell pink) Jagmaster occasionally makes an appearance.

New pedalboard setup!

Lately, I have mainly been experimenting with an all-EHX setup. It's great fun. Picked up the Pulsar last week, and I love it - bought it for its fast square wave skills which I hoped would cop repeat percussion sounds on the cheap, but have since found that the sawtooth setting set to ramp down 100% does it best. The weirdness with the depth control (you can get an odd phasing sound with it) cops that weird woozy Vibrochamp trem that I love a lot.
The Hoax is from Hurb, and while it's got less of a learning curve than a learning wall-to-run-into, I'm just starting to get the hang of it.
The DMM has been my favourite pedal for ages now.

You'll notice, as befits my precise math rock stylings, I keep my pedals ever so neat.

This is what I've been using for most things.

Here's a picture of my Mambo amp - the amp that gets the most use as it's small, light and really really loud (class D).

Here's pics of my pedal collection.

This a a few years out of date though; I've got some more nice ones. I need to take some new pics.









EDIT: oops, duplicate image repalced with correct one.

Love the set up Tim, surprised only a standard big muff but then again muffs rule for me

Gabriel, how do you like the freeze? I'm tempted in getting one for the shits & giggles of it all

They're great fun. I use mine for ambient pads and drones. Doesn't get used a lot as it can easily be overdone but it's a nice effect to have at your feet, especially when playing live.

Think you'll find that's a 1980 IC Big Muff with tone bypass, old son.

The muff that started it all

Look at the big cased EHX v's the little nano EHX. Aww, cute

I love all the old Big box EHX pedals. They devour precious pedalboard space but they have such a great vibe and look. Plus the larger knobs on pedals like the DMM are big enough to turn with your feet if necessary. My EHX Wiggler has the coolest enclosure with the tube guard. Old Big Muff Enclosures are the best.
