I'm generally happy at the moment, no plans to change anything anytime soon

Cheers TF, under £200 gets me the power supply and board I want, perfick :D
Cool pedal choices both
-
Here are mine:
...
Oh yeah, it's being delivered soon (I'll update you guys when I get my bloody murder!)
If you count an ISP decimator prorackG in the effects loop, then I have one of those, but it's rackmount gear, and that's the only thing other than my guitar and amp in the signal chain.

I had to google ISP decimator prorackG :lol:
Looks usefull :D

Lew - don't pay for the Diago power supply! It's a rip off!
Get this one instead - exactly the same thing, and cheap as chips at £11.49! I've got one :D

It is? Is the Diego supply just marketing cr@p then?
Cheers TF, you da man ;D
-
Yep, it's all marketing my friend. Myself and Martin essentially use the same ones on the JohnnyShredFreak site. I have one of his I use in my stripped down rehearsal rig, and we both have a similar model that Martin got from somewhere else. We're both running our boards off them and have done for a while. No issues whatsover.
Get the figure-8 lead and daisy chain etc from JSF too, bargain prices :D

Will do :D

My spiffy board. Tuner then home made boost followed by a rat, muff/delay in one box and a phaser. All BYOC except the booster and tuner. And the snazzy case is snazzy.

Just a couple people of Pedals I have my New Radial London Distortion, and my Boss ensemble. I Love those two. I also have a Digidelay, and a BBE Stompsonic. However my London hates the BBE so I cant use that one anymore. I will most likely be trading those last two in for a Guyatone Sustainer which I hear is supposed to be about the best for its price. I would also like a Boss DD3 and RV5 I think the delay is more essential though. But I am finding myself using fewer pedals and I actually really like that. I dont like too much between me and the amp. Any other pedal suggestions for me to look into?
-
The DD-3 is probably the only pedal I couldn't be without. Sure, there's more expensive and higher quality delays available but it's such a great sounding simple pedal and does exactly what it should.
-
I use a Boss GT-8, ISP Decimator, modded SD-1, and a Morley Wah.

Haven't got any current pics, but I am using (into a clean amp), and can thoroughly recommend :-
Xotic - AC Booster (awesome low and mid gain)
MI Audio Tube Zone (mid to high gain - very low noise floor, and very versatile)
MI Audio Blue Boy Deluxe (just another flavour of boost - more lows than a TS)
BYOC tube screamer
DD-20
Behringer tuner - nice and cheap, but keep it out of the signal pathway !
Lusting for - an SPF Red Threat - played in a shop, and had to choose between it and the Tube Zone. Still not sure I made the right choice.
-
No pics as I'm lazy.
Rotovibe - sometimes, not in at the moment, but it can be a bit of fun
Korg pitchblack + - got it for the same price as the normal one, very accurate
Xotic RC - set to drive the amp input, full volume and half gain. Very open sounding
MXR GT OD - more compression and set for a little more gain than ^
MXR Carbon copy - used for tiny amount of delay
-
Nice work on the order Lew, saved you a couple of quid there eh? ;)
And I got my Diago Gigman used for about £45 :D
-
Blimey Dave your priceless!!! :lol:
I want a pedal board + power supply and would have probably handed over a shed load for one of those T-rex ones.
Thanks for posting! :D
-
No probs! :D
-
Here's mine except the Boss TU2 has recently been replaced with a Korg Pitchblack. Not seeing as many of those TU2s these days, I thought it was only me that had an issue with them.
-
Yellowv am scared by the spider...but what are those nice looking Hi fi speakers there
-
At the moment it's
EH Switchblade -------> TU-2

HBE Power Screamer

Nick Greer Ghetto Stomp

Mojo Hand Nebula

CE-5

Rak DLY-2 (el chepo but can make some weird noises) :)

Well i have made the switch form bass to guitar after 12 years of being a bass player. So im really just building my collection.
Currently i have:
MXR Phase 90
Line 6 DL4
Blackstar HT-Dual.
On the wishlist:
Cry Baby (which will be modded for a more vocal vowel sound)
Custom made Compressor
Custom made Tubescreamer style pedal
Boss PW-10 for a univibe sound.
Once i have these all i will be getting a board made.
The pedals i still have from my bass playing days:
EH Bassballs
Hexacomp (cant remember who the actual maker is)
Line 6 Bass Pod Pro

The reason this other power supply is so cheap compared to the Diago is quite likely that Diago designed it, subcontracted a factory to build it, and said factory built a couple on the side too... It happens.
Either the diago supply is essentially a 1spot/daisy chain design. I'm very happy with my 1spot, never had any issues or noises and I've powered some big boards with it. Now I downsized and sold everything else though...
(http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y300/PierreEmmanuel/DSCF0038.jpg)
There's JUST enough space left for the Digitech DL8 delay I have in the mail. Then the danelectro overdrive will be replaced by a TIM so I'll have to sacrifice the Bad Monkey me thinks.
This pedalboard is the result of a LOT of trials... I've had in the past three years:
2x Bad Monkey
Danelectro Metal I (still on)
Danelectro Vibe (still on, modded)
Danelectro Transparent Overdrive (still on, to be replaced by TIM)
Danelectro Fuzz (gone)
EH Small Stone (gone)
EH Russian Muff (swapped for Little Big Muff)
Subdecay Blackstar distortion (gone)
Subdecay Stupid Box 2.0 (gone)
Seymour Duncan Power Grid distortion (gone)
AMT P1 (gone)
AMT DistStation (gone)
MI Audio Blues Pro (gone)
MI Audio BoostNBuff (gone)
MI Audio Crunchbox (gone)
Self built Crunchbox (still here)
Self built BSIABII (gone)
Carl Martin Surf Trem (still here)
Carl Martin Plexitone prototype (still there)
Carl Martin ACTone prototype (still here, modded)
Carl Martin HotdriveandBoost (still here, modded)
2x boss SD1 (both modded with my own sets of mods, one sold to a guitar shop, one given away)
2x boss DS1 (one sold to a guitar shop, one I still have, best set of mods I ever did)
Visual Sound Route 66 (gone, that was a great pedal)
Danelectro Danecho (gone)
TIM (gone, very missed)
I incidentally kept most of the cheaper and pro pedals I own, and sold the 'boutique' ones. I really do miss the TIM though. And the Boost N Buff would come in handy right now to replace the Bad Monkey as it had a great buffer.

TIM sorry what pedal is this(looked up is it Paul cochrane TIM)

As I understand it, there already existed a suitable off-the-shelf power supply but with the incorrect postive/negative feed for pedals. This is what Martin and myself use after Martin flipped the pos/neg over himself.
Diago ordered a run of the same power supply with the pos/neg flipped at the factory, as did JohnnyShredFreak. One charges you a lot for the end result, one doesn't ;)

Here's an older picture of my board:
(http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a238/Genieworx/board-2.jpg)
The Boss Super Chorus has now been replaced with an MXR Stereo Chorus (Thanks Dave!) and the EH Small Stone is now an MXR EVH Phase 90 as I like matching paint jobs. Board is made by a great guy in the States called Chuck Wager http://www.rocksolidboards.com/ (http://www.rocksolidboards.com/). Amazing quality and very reasonable as well.
-
TIM sorry what pedal is this(looked up is it Paul cochrane TIM)
Yep it is. Basically a low/medium gain OD with effects loop and added gain boost at the end. Very, VERY good pedal. Amazingly neutral sounding. Which is not for everyone of course, but I loved mine.
-
Found these on HRI earlier, well worth watching 8)

CIOKS Double Jack Power Supply 600mA
Korg DT-10 Tuner
Electro Harmonix Holy Grail Plus, with flurb!
Dunlop ZW45 Wylde Wah - very very brutal sounds, but also a bitch to control, as the signal can be killed easily by going to far back too fast
Hughes & Kettner Tube Factor - picked this up at about half price on eBay, a valve pre-amp in a pedal with two overdrive settings, for one for rawk, and one for metal.

I can also recommend the Diago boards. I used to have the same size one as Twinfan but bought too many pedals, ran out of space and had to get something bigger. I've now got one of the Gator boards. It's ok, does the job. I ended up increasing the height of it a bit so that my pedal power can fit underneath.
-
Below you can se my little collection of pedals.
Nowdays there's a T-rex Replica on the board, but at the time I took the picture I hadn't bought it. And I've just got my hands on a Digitech Whammy, which I really haven't tried out yet´.

What's the pedal with a picture of Bender from Futurama on it?

What's the pedal with a picture of Bender from Futurama on it?
Tone Bender clone? (Play on words?)
Tone Bender is an old fuzz pedal ...
-
Aye, it's a Build Your Own Clone ESV Tonebender.
-
Ta. I know what a tone bender is, good old germanium fuzz. You're talking to someone who has more fuzz pedals than sense! ;)
