Very nice setup James, it's like an A-Z of dirt sounds. So glad you're liking the Boost, it makes me more happy than you'd imagine when I see people using them on their boards.

I laughed at that Football Manager comment also. I can't wait for you to find an amp.

I decided my pedalboard wasn't gay enough, so I spent today and this evening adding a synth, some technology and some expensive red wires. L@@K Mike, no cheap patch leads! I reckon I need to get a better miXXor though. Way to let the side down.

Oh yeah, everything is black or silver for some reason. TeH AnniXXXX!

I used to have George L's but I sold them to Hurb. I use Venom Adder patch leads now. Cheap and good.

One of these:


Straight into this:

T: 7 M: 6 B: 5-6 Rev: 2 ----- Rate: 1 Depth: 6

With this in the effect loop:


When I have a punk craving, I click over to the OD channel = Gain: 8 Limit (comp): 4 Pres: +3

Hello, i use to play for a bit a few years back but never really got into it, but...i am looking to start playing again.
I just brought a Johnson Les Paul Style Guitar and a Marshall MG 30dfx from ebay costing £99 on auction, wen't and collected it last night and i am overly pleased with it

Sorry was ment to post in the other thread but was reading this one at the time :/

I quite like that Johhson LP, the modified horn/s look pretty neat, and the colour is cooooooooooool. Even the gold hardware doesn't look too bad on there!

Yeah, the top horn's very Telecaster-esque.

my shit.... is orange




BOX OF ROCK IS MY FAV! buy ONE IF U DONT HAVE ONE!

In fact, buy the two I made in the Classifieds for half price.

Doesnt that Orange do for real what the BOR proposes to simulate?

Orange /= JTM45

However I bet it sounds great, but if you don't use a pedal it means your amp has to be dirty all the time.

its an orange ad200 bass amp i use for gtr and bass. its just clean 200 watts of clean lovin and the BOR sounds NOTHING like orange dist. it is all marshally goodness sold my rocker 30 combo for the ad200 head

current (economical) live setup-



top right to bottom left: noise suppressor, signal splitter, soundtank tubescreamer, fulltone distortion, tuner, dd3, big muff.

one channel has the tubescreamer, fulltone and delay and goes into a fender deluxe hot rod. the other channel is just the tuner and the big muff, which goes through a roland jc120. i never use any amp gain or effects.

the noise suppressor and the tuner act as mute switches so i can flick between amps independently.

and yes, i know most of the patch cables are shit, but i haven't got around to buying decent ones!

Beautiful rig, glossyeyes. I'm even more tempted to buy an Orange cab now :E Damn you!

The Proco RAT pack:

Guitars (alba tele, Yamaha pacifica):



amp (20w marshall valve goodness):



my setups not really that exciting at the moment...!

You're missing the obvious question here. How do the rats compare?

Yeh i really should do a RAT FAQ or a demo vid or something - the samples on the proco site are shite:

You Dirty RAT: Very compressed and smooth, lots of bass and lower mids. distortion is basically marshally at under 12 on the dial, and fuzz-like once you go over. its basically a tamed fuzz pedal.
Turbo RAT: lots of treble and bass, scooped mids. distortion sounds like your speaker is tearing, v unique. VERY loud, insane volume on tap. Yeah Yeahs Yeahs Nick always uses this pedal, listen to the instrumental guitar break on 'Maps' to hear it.
BRAT: not really a rat, sounds like a DS-2 but smoother. v punky. metal enclouser but no 9v power jack and the switch is worse than the worst beringer pedal.
Biyang DS-8 Mouse: based around Vintage RAT. sounds like a RAT cept less compressed and less mids, bass players would like it. switch has "max" and "turbo" modes which are just loud and louder (no LED clipping mode). Good build quality + true mechnical bypass, bargain for £19.

If i had to pick one it would be the Turbo, just cos its mental.
