I love the look of this. I’d like to build a new board with a minimal(ish) setup now that I’m using real amps again. I always end up buying too many dirt pedals when I’m using a board.

M9 near the start of the chain???

Yeah man thats how real Gangstas run their M9.

I am using the m9 mainly for the shitty synth sounds that go into fuzz or dirt. I also have the option of running reverbs into dirt which something I favor.

admittedly the looper and some of the delays I would like at the end of the chain...but there are no ideals in this world.

And THAT'S why you get an M13, for ze fx lewp

I like the way you think.

Cheers mate. I’ve been round the houses with dirt, usually with too many but at the moment settled on the ODR for low gain (and mid gain when boosted) and amp drive for the heavier stuff. Eq pedal is new and works a treat for cutting in the band.

Redid both boards:



The Cntl Knob controls delay time on the DD-8 so I can have short and long settings on the fly.

The M13 means that I've had to ditch the picture frame pedal boards and go back to the Diago, which is fine. Still some spare space, I'll probably add another expression pedal above the current one for laffs mostly. Don't really need so much dirt on there, but it's a lot of fun.

Need to rob one of the knobs off a different pedal for the Klon, it's much too pretty a pedal to be left like that. Can't seem to put my hands on my wee screwdriver set though...

Includes my cleverly modded DD-3 that now features a latch mode for the Hold function.

very nice!

I like it!

I've been wavering on the "big pedalboard" business, and considering switching back to a smaller board, especially since I haven't even filled this one yet and I already feel overwhelmed. But in the meantime I'm trialing this setup, bringing back the Eyemaster and June-60 to see if they fare any better with the Iceman rather than Telecaster.
Ultimately I think I might end up with two smaller boards, one for Thank and one for Beige Palace.

that DD3 is looking mighty nice next to its twin!

Yours is in significantly better condition than mine!

Pretty happy with this setup at practice last night, I seem to be using every pedal at least a couple of times in our current live set. Might stick with this for Thank, and build a second smaller board for Beige Palace.

How is the Eyemaster? I’ve heard conflicting accounts. I am on the market for a cheap big stinking distortion abs was looking at these last night. Weirdly I almost bought Thom’s June 60 to use with my synths. We could be cheap pedal twins

So far I've loved it in a recording context, in a live context it sounds terrible, but sometimes you want things to sound terrible.

For this set there's one song where my guitar needs to sound fizzy and shite, so I'm using it for that. It's also useful for transitions between songs where I turn on almost all my pedals and I just want it to sound like a box of bees.

With my Tele it was just instant piercing feedback. With the Iceman I'm able to control it a little more.

they're both yours, dude! always were, we just needed to figure out the routing.

dialing in a rig is an art all unto its own, and feels good to know that it's never quite finished.

Current Setup:

I just went through my entire pedal board. I removed my old BOSS V-Wah and added a Holy Grail Reverb at the end of the signal chain. I found this vintage one for a good deal over the Holidays.

I still enjoy all my MadeByMike pedals and my favorite one is the MBM Civil War Big Muff. I love the Russian Muffs and hope to try out the RI Green Muff and OP-AMP Muff in the near future.

I just got my 1979 Fender VibroChamp back from the Amp repair shop. The tubes were falling out so the tech replaced both tube sockets. I want to add another amp soon but still trying to figure out what exactly I want.

that vibro champ is clean AF. nice one.

umf. that vibrochamp is hot. also, is that actual altoids for eating or is there some salt boost magic hidden inside?
