Thought I'd join in with my megre pedalboard:



Main areas of interest I guess are the Eventide Modfactor, which is pure class, and the Devi Ever Punch Love, which is a cracking little boost pedal.

The BiYang delay is on the "get shot of" list - sounds nice, but too much of a volume drop when it kicks in.  Makes a big difference now that I'm actually playing in a band...

Well, with my pedal building obsession hitting overdrive, I expanded beyond the limited confines of my GORM board pretty quickly and have moved on to a set of drawers and just getting out what I fancy noodling around with... Even then it was getting silly so I've started dismantling some of my lesser used pedals rather than be over-run by the things like Tribbles. Anyhow, here's my board (well it's the floor and it's a mess) and a couple of drawers worth.



As it stands they are as follows (starting from the top and zig/zagging downwards):

Vibratron (EF86 boost using 6BR7 tube and Vibracaster)
Elunium PU36 Exposive Space Modulator (UglyFace + LFO)
Prom Girl (Promiscuous Girlfriend)
Thermionic Overdrive II (Twincaster using 12DW8 tubes)
Danger! High Voltage (EF86 Boost using 6BR7 tube)
Thermionic Vibradrive (Vibracaster using 12DW8 tube)
Fuzzy Kitten (22/7)
RangeMaster
Agent Orange (Orange Squeezer)
SnapCracklePop (SHO)

Stompster (Dr. Boogey)
Clone Abduction (re-housed Small Clone)
Zach in a Box (Box of Rock)
Trek Phaser (BYOC Phase 90)
SG-1 (BYOC Boss Slow Gear)
COD (OCD)
Bender (BYOC ESV Tonebender)
Dr Daffy (Nurse Quacky)
Gameboy Effect (seriously messed with version of a PWM+LFO)
Master Shredder (Marshall Shredmaster)

Sholicon (Hot Silicon + SHO)
Brazillian Beaver (Big Muff Pi)
Echoes (BYOC Ping/Pong Delay)
TCE Nova Gate/Comp

Juan what are the ef86 pedals like

Smoooooooth boost. Works really nicely on the overdrive channel of the amp. All was well and good with them until we came across the 12DW8, which is just lovely. It's a 50-60 car radio valve and as such it works optimally at 12v unlike the 6BR7 we use in place of the EF86 (EF86 suffers from microphony problems). The Twincaster destroys all in it's path when it comes to valve pedals. Brighter that the sometimes muddy regular valvecaster and with massive amounts of level on tap. The only problem being the massive current draw requiring a somewhat substantial PSU. I think people have cottoned on to the tubes though as the price has almost doubled on them :(

I might be tempted to sell the Vibratron at some point (ef86 and Vibracaster in one). It's a bit redundant now that I have the others. God knows what I'd sell it for... It's possibly the most expensive thing I've ever built in terms of parts. I've never really totted it up.

Well, I'm getting there, all I need sorted now is a reverb pedal and I think I'm there. Well that is until I change my mind again!


Goes Boss Tu-2 -> Fulltone OCD > T-Rex Dr Swamp -> Red Witch Pentavocal Trem -> T-Rex Viper -> Way Huge Aqua-Puss.

I'm still undecided about the reverb pedal as I've not been able to get out and try the ones I like the look of. 

I start with a nice clean tone in a Martamp Deluxe, the OCD gives me a nice crunchy tone, whilst kicking in the first Dr Swamp channel gives a nice lead boost. Kicking in the second Dr Swamp channel just makes it go mental!

How do you like your two T-Rex pedals, Shobet? I've tried both a long time ago. I remember I found the Doctor Swamp too wooly/fuzzy when the gain was set high. Isn't it a bit wooly/fuzzy or am I not remembering right?

I can't really remember how the Viper sounded. Only thing i remember is that I thought it was more phaser-ish at the time and was a little disapointed that it couldn't do some extreme phasing stuff. That was then and seeing it on your board makes me realize that I have to go check it out again soon. It can get pretty close to the Univibe, right?

Never having tried a proper univibe I can't comment on the differences. Hover it does have a bit of phaser about it I must say. It replaced a MojoHand nebula phaser but gives me a few more options in that modulation dept.

As for the Dr Swamp there's a bit of a sharp edge to it and possibly some fuzziness. However it's replaced a Skreddy ?Lady fuzz pedal so I don't mind a bit of hair on my sound. :)

I currently have 3 pedalboards setup, but I'm taking 2 of them to pieces and completely downsizing and selling off a lot of stuff I don't use much anymore. I can't post pics from work so those will come later.

My main board when using my old Carlsbro 50-Top clean head was:

HBE Medicine Bawl Wah -- MI Audio Boost N' Buff -- Korg Pitchblack Tuner -- HBE Compressor -- HBE Power Screamer -- G2D Custom OD -- Brown Sound In A Box 2 -- WOBO 3 loop FX bypass router (Loop 1 = BOSS CE3 Chorus and TR2 Tremolo, Loop 2 = HBE Psilocybe Phaser, Loop 3 = Ibanez DE7 Delay Echo) -- HBE Dos Mos 2 channel Booster

I also had a smaller/backup board that was:

HBE Medicine Bawl Wah/Spina Modded Vox V847 Wah -- BOSS TU2 Tuner -- BOSS OD3 Overdrive -- BOSS SD1 Super Overdrive -- MI Audio Crunchbox -- BOSS CE5 Chorus -- MXR Phase 90 or EH Nano Small Stone -- ZVex Super Duper 2 in 1 Booster

Since getting my Splawn Quick Rod I've not needed to use a single gain or Overdrive pedal, I never really got much use out of the Compressor or Phasers and just can't make Delay work for me, so now my main (and possibly only) pedalboard will be:

HBE Wah -- BOSS TU2 or Korg Pitchblack Tuner -- HBE Uno Mos or MI Audio Boost N' Buff (single channel boost to lift volume of single coil guitars upto that of humbucker loaded 1s) and a Rivera Headmaster MIDI Controller for changing Channels, Gears, OD Settings and Solo On/Off on the Quick Rod.

The time may come when I need Reverb, Delay or Chorus etc again so if that's the case then I'll probably just use my G-Major in the loop of the QR and leave it at that.
Selling lots of gear, enquire within!......
