RobB Posted February 21, 2022 Posted February 21, 2022 The kitchen sink board has been, “retired for a rewire (not that I’d be playing live with it, anyway).” The little Voodoo Labs Dingbat has: Wounded Paw Blender, Bogner La Grange, Catalinbread Belle Epoch and a Wazacraft CE-2. Fed into clean channel of a VAC22 head/Rivera Knucklehead 2x12 cab with V30s. Occasionally I’ll swap in a vintage TC Chorus/Flanger, but the Boss has that big, chewy Roland chorus that I love so.
pesocaster Posted February 21, 2022 Posted February 21, 2022 My little tube rig (I gig with a Katana Artist II)..... Vintage Thomas Organ Co Wah guts in a newish Dunlop housing, vintage script Phase 90, Boss Chorus MIJ, VHD distortion, JHS delay, and a Spark clean boost for leads. and yes there is a wine cork on the board for when i feel a little cork sniffery.
veatch Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 Gig board. Fulltone Clyde Deluxe wah. Does great for Hendrix to funky "Play That Music" stuff. I'm not a wah genius, but this makes my face chew the notes. : ) TC Elec PolyTune 2 - gotta have something, and this is small and accurate enough. I like the fact i can do a rush check on all strings at once Diamond Comp Jr. - don't use it much, but it's nice for light compression on single coils Mythos Mjolnir - Klon Klone - tried a few, and this one fit my needs the best. No idea how much it sounds like the real deal. Don't care. : ) I set my amp up with just enough preamp gain to start to break up. If i play light, it's clean, if i dig in, i starts to overdrive. This pedal puts me into OD without adding dirt. And it sounds really good. So, unless i'm goin really clear with the volume rolled back a little, this is generally on Hermida Zendrive - Dumble-ish sounding, at least compared to the Ford Dumble clone i played (and loved, but still couldn't afford... : ) This pedal adds the grind if i want to do the shreddies. : ) Timmy - Gain at 0, Volume at 10. 'Nuff said. Catlinbread Callisto chorus - Great sounding chorus, at least to my ears. I went through a *lot* of pedal until i landed on this one. MXR Script logo Phase 90 (reissue) - When i needs to pull off a synth part, i use the chorus and phase together. Close enough for rock and roll. : ) Mu-Tron MicroTron IV touch wah/envelop filter - Got it for 1 song. Literally. Dancin' in the Streets. Diamond Memory Lane Jr. delay - Really nice sounding delay. Liked the Memory Lane Sr. better, but 18v and too big for the board... Walrus Aetos power supply (under the riser) - has been rock solid Aside from adding the Mu-Tron (which replaced a Way Huge Aqua Pus that i was using for slap echo), i have had the same pedals for gigging for about 4 or 5 years, i'd guess. Pretty happy with what i have here.

veatch Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 8 minutes ago, RobB said: What are those two things sticking out from the top of the wah? I'm intrigued... Heh. Good eye. I use those goofy zzyzx Snap Jack cables that have the magnets in them. Can plug in/out without the bzzzzt and (more important) they break away before tipping the amp over, or the guitar off of the stand when someone (usually me) trips over a cable. Zzyzx has been out of business for years, so i stocked up on a bunch of connectors and cables. Each guitar has one already in it, as do both heads i gig with. I keep a couple of spare connectors on the wah "just in case".

Armitage Posted February 23, 2022 Author Posted February 23, 2022 I really want to check out an Electro-Harmonix B9... it turns your guitar into a Gothic organ... How cool is that? Anyone tried one? I found it while looking at the new MXR Poly Blue Octave. 1 and 2 octaves up and 1 and 2 octaves down... and people made it sound like a huge organ... but it sounds really artificial (which can be cool). They're not out around here yet to check out.

I think the price of rare earth magnets went through the roof not long after they came out. About the same time JBL stopped using neo for their drivers. : / I will say, guitar swaps are really fast with these. Just need to get the cable close and the magnet snaps it in.

It took me a bit (before buying) to see much of a use for it outside of playing stuff I'd do on keys on guitar, but I saw Nalle Colt of Vintage Trouble use it as something to double guitar lines. That's what I use it for mostly. Nice way to thicken things up.
Montelovesco Posted February 27, 2022 Posted February 27, 2022 It happened that I rearranged my stuff after getting the MP Snowwhite… This is the boad today [!]… And yes, I need a bigger board but T-Rex apparently went out of business, so I am screwed…

I use this same technology via charging my phone... it's an absolute game changer for ease of use & not have the issue of dirt getting into the charging port or wearing the port out with constant plugging in-out... just leave the one end connected.in the phone & the cable "with the strong magnet, just quickly connects... it has a led light so charging in the dark is foul proof... and break away to avoid tripping over/damaging your phone is a great feature (comes with one cable with various adapter ends) HIGHLY RECOMMEND
HamerDave Posted February 27, 2022 Posted February 27, 2022 This has been the rig for the past 6 months or so. This is probably close to a record for me as I'm a crazed pedal head. The only change I'm planning on is to replace the Tumnus with a Wildwood edition Mythos Mjolnir (on the waiting list and trying so hard to be patient). I even saved a spot for it. It will drop in where the ODR1 mini sits. That will move over to the spot where the Tumnus is currently sitting. I'll just have to build some new cables. I'm going to pop the Tumnus onto a little battery powered board to take to rehearsals. Always a tweak to make. Keeps me out of trouble...
polara Posted February 27, 2022 Posted February 27, 2022 Mine is mostly dedicated to making a guitar not sound like a guitar.

I was replacing a keyboardist who quit the wednesday before a saturday gig (vid is that gig, got the pedals the next week after they asked me to stay). Great band, which like most great bands I've been in, lasted for about 6 months, ha

shankyboy Posted March 11, 2022 Posted March 11, 2022 Here's my current pedal board setup. Everything except the Rubber Chicken and the Octron have been on the board since 2015. The Rubber Chicken is so much fun that I have to refrain myself from over use. The Octron is the most recent addition and it is, for me, the best Octave pedal that I have ever used.

soli'd Posted March 15, 2022 Posted March 15, 2022 I do like the pedals, and love the rabbit hole of MIDI programming/functionality. I bought, sold, bartered and built stuff for years, this was the culmination of it all:
soli'd Posted March 16, 2022 Posted March 16, 2022 relevant to this thread- I was just browsing a PG article on readers' boards and saw there was a submission from the HFC's @santellavision. Very cool board, Ernie! https://www.premierguitar.com/gear/gear-galleries/custom-pedalboards-pt-2
