I aim to displease.

That's pretty much my dream rig but with a bass guitar, fantastic setup.

I haven't posted an update here in a while, but here's a photo taken last night at our studio/practice space. It was taken with my phone in low light, so it's pretty terrible -- but you get the idea.

Pictured: Classic Player Jaguar (with AVRI pickups, thank you very much) -> Boss TU-2, EHX POG2, EHX Germanium O.D., EHX Big Muff NYC, MXR Distortion+, EHX Stereo Pulsar, EHX Small Clone, and Boss RE-20 Space Echo -> '73 Fender Vibrosonic Reverb.
Moog Little Phatty Stage -> EHX Memory Toy -> PA system with 18" JBL full-range speakers.

I've made a few changes to the board since the last update. I've found I don't use the EHX Micro Synth with this band as much since getting the Moog, and I like to have a bit more aggressive sound than the SD-1 can give me. I keep the Germanium O.D. on pretty much all the time with a slightly voltage-starved setting to trash up my clean sound a bit, then use the Big Muff to drive things off the cliff when appropriate. I kind of aped the Big Muff into Distortion+ idea from Steve Turner, who used them in this way the last time I saw Mudhoney a few years back; it sounds great. I haven't used the Big Muff regularly in a band in years, and it's awesome to have it back on the board again. I'd really like to try out the Bass Big Muff, as I dig the clean blend option it has.

it's taken me a while to get used to it, but i really like it. the display is great and adjusts to how light or dark the stage is. smaller than my old tu-2 and less noisy. i thought i was faulty, as it was buzzing inline with other pedals, but that turned out to be a problem with my power supply. i'd recommend one, there not that expensive for so much tuner. i do still forget it's polyphonic sometimes, but it don't matter, it's fast and accurate at switching between poly/mono modes.

How is that pickup?

I really like it, loads of volume and punch, a complete world away from the stock pup it had. I should really put a meter on it and check it's output.

so i've gone back to my first pedal days and got me one of these.

bloody great wah sound, better than my old crybaby was. plus it's bling. did an exchange with the company i got the micro chorus from. dead friendly and kept me up to date. i think that and my cool cat drive will make a nice little gig board.

Tell me it wasn't a straight swap, Rob, or I'll have to phone them like an angry parent...

Nice wahs, though - I've got an older one like it. Iffy bypass, mind.

Nope, don't worry. Got pics and shizzle to compensate. Don't know why I haven't tried vox before, great looking pedal. Go chrome!

Â£20 worth of plectrums, one would hope?

Progrockabuse · Post by **Progrockabuse** » Thu Jan 20, 2011 7:30 pm

Well the Micro chorus was Â£71 and the wah Â£68

I just didn't want the hassle of refunds and re ordering from another company.

Please do this next time. You just threw away money in what amounts to laziness.

As a consumer you have the right to ask for your money back. Do so.
