What's in your pedalboard?

[sandman69]

Guitar -> MXR A+B -> (B) Planetwave Tuner

(A) Morley Bad Horsie 2 -> Digitech Whammy -> Visual Studio Jeckl &Hyde ->
Marshall TSL 100 -> 1960A
Loop
Ibanez CF7 -> Boss GE7


At least this weeks setup.

I got rid of all my old pedals and just use a Boss GT-3 now. I run my guitar into the GT-3, then use the Ext OD send from the GT-3 into my amp's input. The send of my FX loop goes to the return of the GT-3, and then the final out of the GT-3 goes to the FX loop return. This way I get the compression and volume effects prior to the preamp, I get my preamp gain stages, and all the digital effects are in the FX loop.

Sounds great, IMHO.

I use a Dunlop Wah --> Marshall Guv'nor II (with little gain-Used as a booster) --> Proco Turbo Rat (Preferably used with my Strat not the LP) --> Marshall DSL 100 (Preamp) --> Boss Gt6 (only for delays/reverb & chorus -no preamps/cabinets/distortion simulations) --> then to the opamp/post amp.

What would be useful is not the chain effects but the way you use it. For example do you use a distortion or overdrive as a booster. Does it work well with your amp? Does it work well on both channels. Does it work well for both Higain 1 & Higain 2 channels? Do you use a distortion/overdrive to just that not to boost but use the Higain channel at the same time?

Be more thorough. Perhaps some of as will learn how to do things the right way or even learn more?

For example I use the Turbo Rat together with the Crunch channel in order to distort and boost the guitar signal a bit instead of going to a Higain channel. I don't know if that is something everyone does but it does work for me.

P.S.1 It should be noted here that most tube amps work great with boosters etc. but valves do tends to be tricky. For example most effect work ok on the primary channel (Clean or Higain 1) of a valve amp but on the secondary (Crunch or Higain 2) they suck. There's a reason for that but that's for another post.

P.S.2 The simpler the chain the better, I must get rid of the Gt6

The kind of black stomp box with gold ended cables going in is the ISP Decimator G-string --- it's shiny chrome. :cool2: Nothing exotic anymore. Gets the job done. Overdrives? We don't need no steenkeen' overdrives.

 

[poeman33]

Since no one else has added this yet...
Nothing.
I plug straight in. I always have. I get all the sounds I want with the amp,my guitar, and my fingers. Nothing against all of you who use effects, that's just my sound.

 

[Dave]

I don't like to have too many effects. I have a BOSS pedal board which holds a 95Q Crybaby, DD6 Delay and AC2 Acoustic Simulator. I'm gonna ditch the AC2 I think - just need to put a CH1 Super Chorus and TU2 Tuner in there.

 

[amplifier]

I don't like using effects that much. Occasionally I'll use a wah or effects built into the amp that's it.

 

[mnelsonix]

Is it just me, or are you a southpaw?

 

[st.bede]

I just grab what I think is going to work for the occassion: am I doing a blues thing, a jazz thing, a rock thing, ect......

I do find myself grabing a fulltone ocd a lot...and a wha (which one depends on the situation)

I just bought a zvex fuzz factory...have only played it through an old class a amp but, am planning on going through my more brittish sounding amps....

it was pretty fun and a bit strange...I think of it as more of an speacial fx type thing then an everyday germanium fuzz but, it did a great job there as well....

Too many boards & effects rigs...

Baby rig:

Left-overs rig (made up from gear that didn't or couldn't fit into the last two):

Booteek rig (blues band only usually):

Cover band rig:

The DS-1 and 2 TS-9's are Keeley modded versions. An Ultra, Mod+ and Baked Mod respectively.

I also have a Boss ME-50/FS-6 rig that I take when I'm feeling lazy, and a POD 2 & Floorboard rig that I usually set-up as a back-up at gigs.
