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.

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

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

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.

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...

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.
