just a sweet looking board, why the rat before the ts9 though??? more volume?

MOCH UP

VP JR for swells and ambient stuff that i really dig, awesome for looping too
Going to take Mike's Klon off his hands, I've always loved the sound of a Klon but never had a budget for one.
Along with a SunFace clone Mike is in the works of building
Box of Rock is back, hell yeah
Small Clone for awesome analog tones
Carbon Copy is still amazing me
hell yeah

George L's
Going to order a pedaltrain pt2
the board dimensions are 24x12.5x2 inches and i measured this setup at 24x12 so it should be a nice fit along with the george l's

NOOICE!!! superenvious. looks like an awesome potential set-up. i really would like to hear how that sounds. esp. the Chorus/Reverb interplay.

also. you graduated recently. congratulations. what school did you graduated from? have any immediate plans for the future???

I think you might want to check your bifocals there, friend. I'm pretty sure that's a 'shop.

got it in one haze. i saw fran doing it with his TS-7 and a big muff. it just boosts everything nicely, but with some crunch round the edges.

that new board plan looks wicked haze, think you've become an ambassador for MIM pedals.

heck yes. I love putting things in front of a tubescreamer. it's almost always the last thing in my chain (besides delay/verb).

i plan to mod my reel echo. there's a bit of a sound drop when you use it, but i'm thinking of building a saltbooster into it and replacing the sound on sound switch with the saltboost on/off switch. i don't use the SOS setting at all, so i think it'll be cool.

btw less, i'm taking a 2 hour marine bio final today at 12 then i'm out of that place. Jenks High School in Oklahoma, no immediate plans but i'm looking at welding for the marines

Salt in a delay would be epic

I've got to see that happen
and yes, i love all of my MBM pedals, I've got 3 in my possession with 2 more on the way and hopefully more in the future [thinking salt boost or echo base lite...]

Updated pic of my board... got rid of the sansamp gt2 and dropped in the Dano cool cat drive which I love to pieces !!

I think for once I'm pretty content with my effects and the sounds they can achieve.

Haze · Post by **Haze** » Fri May 29, 2009 2:59 pm

no knobs on the trem/vibrato?
are your pedals screwed in to the board? Still curious on your delay before drive choice aswell

othomas2 · Post by **othomas2** » Fri May 29, 2009 3:15 pm

The knobs have just com off recently... they're the screw on type & have just worked their way lose. They're safe in the tin above, just haven't got around to putting them back on !!

Yes, everything on the board is screwed down... using the bicycle chain link method. Don't know if you're aware of this .. ? I just got fed up messing with velcro and the like, and fortunately its a wooden pedal case.

I tried the delay in various positions and having it before the drive, it's much more effective... gives you the same delay response as if it were clean. The other way, the delay tapers off far too quickly for what I wanted to do. Everyone seems to have an issue with this

but I can't see any draw backs...

Updated, stripped down board...going from this:

To this:

Is quite liberating!

Zvex SHO - Made by Mike Crunch Box - Boss HF-2 - MXR Carbon Copy - Boss TU-2, Blackstar HT-5 footswitch.

Have only had chance to play on the flanger for about 5 mins, but it sounds cool.
It's going to replace the Small Stone for a while.

Love the simplicity of that, deffinately a step down from that monster board

Progrockabuse · Post by **Progrockabuse** » Fri May 29, 2009 4:00 pm

both owen and tom's board are great examples of so many sounds/options from so little gear. something that i'm hoping to acheive myself. i've ordered a kinsman pedalboard today, was Â£35 which i thought was good, plus it's flat to the floor. still wondering how to fix the rat to my board though.

couldn't find a decent pic

Nice layout!

I recently grabbed a PT-2 (with flight case) and it's awesome. I already had the Voodoo Labs Pedal Power 2+, and the PT-2 comes with a bracket to mount it right underneath. I keep meaning to take some photos, so perhaps I'll do that in a bit.

I was a bit apprehensive to spend that much for a pedal board, but I've spent more than that on a single pedal before, so I see it as a sound investment.

Most of my pedals are more than $120 as it is

a PT2 would mainly be for convience and space. My current board is much too massive. Plus i don't like my pedals sitting in a "bowl" where i can't get straight angle cables in and out easily

its all good man, it happens
think i'm going to go ahead and pull the trigger on the small clone, vpjr and george l's, and will wait on the pedaltrain until my next paycheck
BUT musicians friend won't have any VP Jrs in until the middle of next week so that will have to be when i place the order
