This is a picture of my pedals to break the ice.

I havenâ€™t really used any of this equipment since I stopped playing in a band a few years ago, but I thought Iâ€™d start playing again. Added a DigiTech DigiDelay to replace the Ibanez DL5 (which has started distorting the repeats) and one of those Johnny Shredfreak power-supplies.

Iâ€™ll probably lose the DL5 and one of the distortion pedals when Iâ€™ve found what Iâ€™m looking for, and add a reverb pedal at the end (probably a Holy Grail).

Anyway, nice to be here.

welcome to the board. liking your choices. whats the sonic distortion like? always wanted to try one of those.

there's loads of cross pollination on some of these boards. i think nearly all my pedals are shortscale made or traded.

sg classic 04

sepiatone jazzmaster into my 65 bandmaster head with a vox 2x12 cab i loaded with warehouse british leads

mij jaguar that is my main live guitar at this point in time, very reliable and nice sounding.

mim duo sonic, 66 duo sonic II i sold like a jackass, 74 musicmaster bass i sold like a jackass and 74 mustang I still have

I don't take pictures of my pedals but I have the following : 80's mxr + distortion, original Rat, ehx holy stain, some ibanez delay pedal, a crazy homemade bass fuzz, little big muff pii, 3 various tuner pedals, phase 90. and that is all. I only run 2 at a time although I am trying to get an old dearmond volume pedal, i love those and that will mean I will run 3 pedals at a time.

Cheers, dude

Iâ€™ve only just started using the Sonic Distortion regularly so Iâ€™m still getting used to it, but yeah itâ€™s alright. The tone pot gives you a lot of scope for making it sound awful, but there are a couple of nice (if not quite generic) sounds in there.

The usual black-grey-blue suspects... but, wait a minute.. who's that next to the Pulsarrrr?

A new pot and cap and Saltbooster #1 perfectly fills the role without filling the pedalboard. Welcome back, my friend- I'm sorry we've not been too close these past few years.

This is the setup I used in the studio, two weeks ago.
It goes CP Jazzmaster> Boss TU-2> Vox V847A Wah> '86 Rat> Sovtek Muff> Boss FRV-1> Jumpered input 1977 Traynor YBA-1> Closed Back 2X12 with one Celestion Sidewinder (mic'd) and one Electro Voice EVM12L.

We recorded this "off the floor", in a huge concert hall, hence the separators.

Here's a look at The Duke's stuff:

I believe that's: 90's Dano U2> Boss TU-2> Malekko Ekko 616 delay> EHX LPB-1> Blackout Effectors Twosome> 90's Rat> ElectroDrone Dirty Bird> 1972 Fender Super Reverb. Sounded awesome, ecept for the Dirty Bird which is shite.

Check out the HUUUUUUGE Resonator bass drum, yo!

I couldn't get a photo of Awesome Bassist's rig because she was busy fiddling with shit with the engineer.

Mages · Post by **Mages** » Sun May 23, 2010 10:27 pm

is there a post somewhere about this recording session? it looks awesome. recording in a theater, very cool. yeah, that resonator bass drum, haha, awesome. hmmm, those baffles wouldn't do much I imagine; maybe cut down the direct sound from leaking through but there's gonna be a really live reverberation everywhere (I guess that is the point of recording in a theater though!).

laterallateral · Post by **laterallateral** » Mon May 24, 2010 1:16 am

Yeah, no. there's no post specific to this and yeah, the baffles were mostly intended to keep the instruments from bleeding into eachother.
The verb from the room was great. About half the tracks we did in this session had to be scrapped because the quality of the room was so different from anything either of us were used to, we couldn't keep up with eachother...

This would give you an impression of scale:

I'll post some of the recordings once vocals have been recorded and the tracks mastered.

I guess maybe I should start a thread about this...

I like that black-on-black, stripped-down, look.

I HAS A PEDAL:

I kinda fell into this one. I went to MGR for a part for my GF's Epi Dot. They didn't have the part, but I spotted this old CS-2 for $20 "as-is." I knew they fetched about $70 on ebay, so I grabbed it figuring I'd pocket a tidy $50. Only thing wrecked was the battery clip, which I fixed in 20 minutes.

Then I tried the thing out. AWESOME. It can boost and even out my normal playing dynamic while keeping the louder bits from killing the speaker. My right hand doesn't have to fight for fullness and volume anymore, so I can keep it more relaxed and play faster/cleaner. This pedal actually improves my playing!

I've wondered why a purist like yourself didn't have at least a compressor. That day has come i suppose. They're very useful for clean fingerpicking

Impressively so. I've been going guitar->amp for basically 2 years. Thrown a wah or a trem in from time to time, but always went back. This is really too good to give up - it makes the sound dramatically better.
