Here's my board!! Excuse the mess, I gig a lot and this is post-gig and I haven't cleaned it up yet. Also, the power supplies do/usually have zip ties and are actually pretty neat, but I've been swapping pedals in and out more than usual.
I just picked up the Mesa Boogie Bottle Rocket Tube Drive pedal 2 days ago, and it sounds so SWEEEET!! I'm in love!! I will end up using it in place of the HBE (Home Brewed Electronics) Power Screamer, which I heavily preferred over a tube screamer. We'll see....time and gigs will tell! The red pedal is a Seymour Duncan pickup booster, which is mainly a clean boost. I leave it on always for non-EMULATOR shows. It also allows me a last-ditch volume boost if I'm playing live and underestimated my band's ability to rock louder after soundcheck, and I can't get to my amp on stage!! I just nudge the clean boost, and WHAM!! Way more volume (if needed) without sacrificing my clean headroom (funk!!). I just picked up the modtone Extreme Metal, and traded in my MXR Fullbore Metal (too "scoopy") for it. I joked that I was looking for "half-bore, not FULLbore!!". I tried a few pedals, but the cheap Modtone was right on, and the EQ makes it very customizable (more so than the MXR, which also had many EQ knobs). Standard crybaby wah. Standard Boss Octave (OC-2 I think) Standard Ernie Ball Volume, which my crappy korg tuner plugs into direct. Standard crappy power supply, and no "one-spot". I dig the tone I get, but I notice that many guitarists go into volume pedal first. I didn't like the result as much, but haven't experimented with different chains/order in a while. I guess since it works, I never when back and played with the order again, except when I get a new effect like Envelope Filter (got rid of the vintage Q-tron....to "Jerry Garcia" for my taste!!). Any tips? Share your board!! This post has been edited by derper: Jul 4 2012, 10:06 PM
