I am so not a FX guy and my *entire* pedalboard is my three channel selector footswitch for my Blackstar Head.

199. totally worth it tho. the dudes at old blood (there's only three of them by the way) are the making the best pedals around, and i need to have them all.

i got it last night, and played for like two hours, and i woke up, and immediately played for an hour. i love it so much. the tremolo setting is amazing, and the hold switch is wild.

Man. I really want one.

Wow.......this thread inspired me to go and check out what the story is with the old effect pedals I was using in the 80's and early 90's - they sell for more now used than they did back then brand new.

I was obsessed with my pedals until I got the old Korg A3 which was a pretty mean rack unit at the time. Unfortunately even if I started playing now the inbuilt battery would be dead , along with all my custom effects.

Oooh what do you have lying around?

Oooh what do you have lying around?

I'm reading just now that after I made the Korg A3 famous , The Edge made it even famous-er

I have that and various other things (foot controller, Dunlop Cry Baby Wah etc...) in a rack/case and maybe half a dozen or more Boss pedals from back then.............Digital metalizer , Turbo Distortion, T-Wah , Phaser, Hi BAnd Flanger, Digital Delay etc..

I had an Eventide harmonizer at one point but pretty sure I sold it.

Wow! Some pretty well sort after boss stuff in there!

PuffyPat · « **Reply #43 on:** September 01, 2015, 10:25:47 PM »

just sold my boss dd-7. i'm kinda sad to see it go, but i never really used it all that much, so it was the right thing to do.

I'd all but forgotten I'd started this!

Anyway, my board has undergone some rather substantial changes:

Fewer pedal, but more expensive ones! The Darkglass B7K preamp is the sound I've been chasing for about 20 years or so. Incredible clarity, upper mid grit, good punch. It plays perfectly with my L-2000, and sits quite nicely with my Ric 4001 copy as well.

Overall, the board is very angry, with all that drive. The fuzz at the front of the chain (the Team Awesome Fuzz Machine) may get swapped for the Darkglass Fuzz, but aside from that, I think it's settling into a fairly stable configuration.

I need that reverb.

It's awesome...cheap, small, sounds good, and can be as simple or as complex as you want it to be (via toneprint). It's nice to just add that little something, just to make my tone a little more three dimensional.

sneakyblueberry · « **Reply #47 on:** October 12, 2015, 07:49:12 PM »

nice board! sadly I just don't have the money to put into a really nice pedal set up...

I was actally talking about the one PiffyPat posted, but the Hall of Fame is also really grat. How does the Nano version compare to his larger brother? I tested that one once and was very impressed by the sounds that came out.

It's just smaller, which means that you have to make your adjustments (aside from effect level) via TonePrint or the editing software, rather than on the face of the pedal. In many cases, that would bother me, but since my reverb use is pretty straightforward, it's no issue here.

the procession is great because it can be just a simple digital reverb or a wild choppy tremolo verb, or a cool filter. it's super fun to use. the hold switch is amazing.

millahh · « **Reply #51 on:** November 21, 2015, 02:49:15 PM »

Major rework/downsizing (though it's no cheaper...just more expensive pedals):

Empress Multidrive (distortion/fuzz/overdrive) -> Darkglass Vintage Microtubes (overdrive) -> AMT wah -> Empress compressor -> Empress Nebulus (chorus/vibrato/flanger) -> tuner -> Reverb -> Darkglass B7K preamp

That Empress comp...oh my. Makes my tone beefier and adds sustain, but without choking off the natural dynamics.

Now, about that empty space at the top...

sick.

PuffyPat · « **Reply #53 on:** December 25, 2015, 03:51:18 PM »

u guys. i did it again. i bought another reverb. (i'm at three now)

sneakyblueberry · « **Reply #54 on:** December 30, 2015, 05:33:48 AM »

is this as crazy as the other obn reverb you got? super keen on getting a good reverb and intrigued by these guys' pedals.

PuffyPat · « **Reply #55 on:** January 09, 2016, 02:33:43 PM »

definitely just as crazy if not more. i like it a bit more actually. it's a long form reverb, so you can get it loooong, and the delay mode can self oscillate, so it can get super wild.

Got this baby in the mail today: https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/SDD3000
