The updated (and unwired) box of rock...

6 dirt pedals and a booster....love it.

Here are the pedalboard and the electrics. Currently between amps so no amp related pr0n; I have a magnificent Verellen beast on order. You can check out this link for a full blown list of what you see and what's in the same room but not shown on the picture.

Took a photo of my current setup while I was changing the speakers in my cab. Nothing too exciting but it sounds good.

Lovely board and lovely guitars in general, but: holy shit, that double-bound tele. Welcome to the forum.

Welcome to your new home mr soul food, feel free to buffer my signal. Just need a new wah and then we're good

Pedal rug for the win!!

It really ties the room together.

just treated myself toa diago showman pedalboard, my old black kross one was fucked and the catches kept bursting open. only problem with the diago is the lack of split level-ness, but they make risers for individual pedals. i'll need them for the delay and reverb pedals.



trying the empress fuzz on my bass channel for a bit more grunt, will see how it sounds. i'd say it's more a distortion than a fuzz. might bin the red fulltone distortion and try an OCD there. would mean buying another, as i use my mbm one on my bass board.

Pleasantly surprised by that board Stewart, a few pedals I didn't expect you to have on there & others missing. Looks great though

plz elaborate

Was surprised by the bad monkey, RV600 (although an amazing pedal for the price) & the compressor

ah, the bad monkey I've had for a while; took it off my old board because it weighs a ton and Velcro tends to not stick to the rubber bottom, and it would always detach and rattle around. had a dano trans overdrive in its place for ages, just fancied a change. rv600 was a poverty choice; needed reverb (selmer doesn't have any) but was skint at the time. does the job for me. the compressor is to smooth out the slight wobbliness of the octave pedal, it's a subtle thing (obviously) but it makes a difference. only thing I'm not sure of is the Empress in that chain; it might sound balls at low gain/high volume. I've tried dirt pedals in the bass channel before and they often just squash the signal too much.

I was surprised by the Bad Monkey too. I love mine.

they seem to be getting a bit of love around recently. I liked the one I had but punted it as I had no need of that type of pedal at the time.

the bad monkey is a tube screamer clone isn't it?

not saying its a bad thing. I keep seeing them on amazon for £23 or something.
I keep thinking about it

I don't think it's a direct TS clone, isn't it based on the DOD Juice Box or something? For £24 there isn't any reason not to give it a go if you're curious. The tone controls are definitely more useful than those on a TS.

It remains about the best pedal I've bought this year.
