FINALLY got the Lava cables in! Brandon [owner of FullScaleOnline.com also a local shop to me] gave me a free set! Suhweet! I ordered two sets as i knew it would at least take that for the whole board, so i guess i have some left overs for the future. They went together really well and i couldn't be happier with them, it keeps things nice and tidy and i won't have to worry about them crapping out like others have.




Chain goes:

Pitchblack
OCD/DLS
Memory Boy
Volume Pedal JR
MBM Sunface
LPB-1
Nova Delay
RV-7

The Memory Boy is being used as a chorus sadly but it does fine for now, i needed a chorus sound for my band and it certainly does the trick. I also like to its delays going into the Sunface, it makes for a very interesting sound.

Volume pedal is after the overdrives so i can fine tune my levels should they ever be off. I also put it before the fuzz so i can fine tune the gain aswell.

I didn't like the LPB-1 at first, it takes a lot of highs out and adds some bass but i found a use for it. Its after all of the dirt and i am using it at unity volume. I turn it on along with the fuzz and it makes it sound fat and really warm, then when i turn off the lpb-1 its like a TONEBLAST effect.

I also put a little peel-n-stick pick holder on the back of the board for good measure, actually came in handy the last gig. WAY easier than a preppy altoids can because these just slide right out.

Looks very tidy.

QUICK HIDE THE CURLY CABLES BEFORE MIKE SEES.

clean. my pedalboard is like a horrible knot of wires that i'm afraid to uvravel.

Yeeaaaaah buddy, glad the chorus is getting used. You need you some delay though.

My pedalboard is non functional at the moment. Fucking thing fell apart.

FUCK YOU KINSMAN

Since the Sunn trade did not go through, I got this puppy. It sounds damn nice.

It vs. a holy grail?

I've looked at both, what are your thoughts?

I really loved my HG+. I traded it for a ribbon mic because I basically needed that more at the time. It's a fantastic pedal and I actually went looking to replace it, when I went to the shop today. They didn't have any more, so I checked the FRV-1 out.

Bottom line: if you want access to a couple different reverb types, get the HG+ but if you only care about spring (like me) get the FRV-1. I think it smokes the HG in terms of spring.

So is the 2nd dl4 temporary? I imagine with some mad tetris skills you could fit it on the board

Oooh I've been thinking of getting one of these, especially now it looks like I am going to buy James' Bassman.
Any chance of a demo? Or more of a description as to what it can do?

You mean the RE-20? I love it. I don't need a lot of delay but I like the sound of multi-tap delays plus its got decent reverb too. Needs an isolated power supply though and I had a One Spot for the longest time so I wasn't able to use it until recently when I bought a PP2+. I haven't tried playing with the expression pedal controls but I guess it would be fun.

It looks pink but it's actually purple. It's a Menatone King Of The Britains V3 clone.

that chorus actually took the place of my delay. not enough power cable things for that damn gator borad. I LOOSED THEM?

re-arranged for the RC2

actually sorted it out (kinda):



cavalcade of the unloved off to the side. i wanna get the great destroyer back on my board but it's very picky about what other pedals are in the chain.



haha note the arion tuner velcro'd to the side of my board in that second photo.

Did you try out the memory man behind the reverb? I know I would loop some muff-reverse reverb goodness. Also I'm not familiar with TGD but theoretically you should be able to put it first in line without any issues but there's no teling for sure with that monster

great destroyer is unpredictable. i couldn't use it in the same pedal chain as the mudhoney back when i had it, before or after. the gate would go mental.
generally it's a pretty safe bet after the booster but i haven't got around to adding it back in.

memory man will soon be post-reverb too.

i use my mmwh after the reverb, the normal delays don't sound so good after reverb, but i have other delays before the reverb, so i mainly use the memory man for looping and more "spacial" delays. The memory man is actually going bad, not turning on and stuff like that!
You should try the super fuzz after reverb, and set the reverb to really long plate settings, i wast hours playing with that setting.
