I rearranged my pedals last night for today's gig.

My set up right now is:
Clyde wah -> Korg pitchblack -> Das Fuzz -> SD-9 -> Dunlop Octave Fuzz -> Arion SCH-1 -> 19 Sixty 3 -> Boss DD-20

But this changes often. My old home made pedal board is falling apart. Can't wait until my new Pedaltrain comes (on Monday or Tuesday)!

I usually have my ZYS on there too, but I ran out of space this time. I will add it back in when the Pedaltrain arrives! Because TheVoodooMan's ZYS is a fantastic bluesy overdrive pedal.

I witnessed my beloved pedal board falling into pieces. It took me so much time to plan and build it, I organizes all the stuff and worked really with high scrutiniy on the board.

After some couple changes, Istarted bringing less ans less pedals to a gig, until there was only the tuner pedal on it in the end :-)

My favourite set up is Roger Mayer Wah, TS9 or Roger Mayer Axis Fuzz.
That's about it.

Cool, Spud is using a phaser. You know, I've never ever owned a phaser. Do I need one?

What is PB100 and what Wah do you use?

PB100 is the Behringer clean boost, also known as Preamp booster.

Yes, you need a phaser. You can get such nice swirly effects with one, and they sound so different between clean and dirty tones. Very flexible tool for the ol' tonal arsenal.

PB100 = Behringer Preamp Booster, an excellent & inexpensive little booster pedal. I don't use mine since I built that BYOC TriBoost pedal, but I really ought to sell it to someone who can make use of it....

Wah you say?

That Digitech EX7 is a nice wah and I've been using it more lately because of the other features, but often it is the 535Q wah or my Thomas Organ Crybaby.

The PB100 is the Behringer clean boost pedal. It has bass, treble and output level knobs. It's great especially how cheap it was and how well it works. It's not noisy at all.

Does a POD count as a pedal? For the past couple 'o weeks I been plugging everything into the POD and the Marshall sitting in the livingroom. Sounds like Tom Scholz's and Eddie's studio in there. Loud too and really fun. The bedroom's got the EX-7, Fuzz Face, Zonkin Screamer and the EVH PHASE 90 ROBERT running through the beloved Blues Jr. graced with a GT12AX7C in V1 and a totally sweet Guitar Warehouse Veteran 30 speaker under the hood of the deadly Blues J.

Pancake time cuz it's so suhweet-uh :pancake:

After I read this post last night, I dreamt of EVH Phase 90 pedals. Weird huh? :confused:

Don't be reading any Piers Anthony or you'll be wanting phase and Phaze pedals at the same time.:D

Hello,

I don't know about favorite pedals but I built a homemade board a while back and ended up putting a Bad Monkey, MI Audio Blues Pro, a Fender PT-100 tuner and a Marshall Reflector (thanks Tone). I have my Valve Junior upstairs and my 18 watt amp down stairs and usually keep my pedal board with the VJ in my small computer room. It is a drag having them separate and a pain to keep moving it. I am pretty content with what I have but I do want to get a Fulltone OCD next and I am scrounging stuff to eb*y for funds.

My favorite pedal setup has been ---------> None. Just, guitar straight into the amph. It's been fun trying to see what kind of tones I could get using just the amph and volume/tone knobs on my guitar.

Lately, though, I've been missing having access to a good chorus, and a delay, and an overdrive, possibly a wah as well. I think it's time to start exploring some cheap Dano or Behringer pedals or something....

And now I have realized that you can be broke and still have GAS.:thwap:

Current Setup:

Volume > Wah > Holy Grail Reverb > Holy Choir Chorus > Keeley BD > Keeley TS-808 > Marshall Bluesbreaker > Marshall Echohead Delay w/ Boss FS-5U.

Maybe a little overkill having 3 different overdrives, but I do use them all. I can't wait to get my Keeley Kitana. :dude:

On a side note, does anyone know of any better delays that I can hook my midi pedal into to tap tempo on? I love the Pretty Dolly, but it doesn't have a midi out. I really would like to upgrade from the Echohead, but I haven't found anything that has a midi out. Thanks in advance.
