@Boy on a string-
did you get the FM4 modded by cubisteffects or did you just buy it already modded from ebay?

Nice spot. Yes to both actually. I bought it pre-modded FROM cubisteffects! It’s very cool. I can’t say I use the feedback loop as much as I thought I would, but it’s good for a laugh.

well first of all - you don’t have to run the stereo polyphase in stereo i also have just one amp and even then it’S great

it’S about lots of options - i get that but still - you are like “I am working out what pedals are my ESSENTIALS” - and i’m just telling you what i’d do i’d still keep as much options as i could, but for less tone loss and less pedals, you sometimes have to compromise…

yeah, i’m not a big fan of Digitech, i admit that… their pedals just don’T do it for me. But the Whammy is awesome - if the english guy that sent me mine wouldn’t be stupid, i’d had one right now… it came in the mail broken because he didn’t pack it very g… at all :-D

if you like some whacky sounds - for phaser, try Boss PH-2 it can be pretty extreme and whacky - i just love this pedal, but i had to get rid of it for financial reasons…

After some consideration, I realised my stereo comment was completely unfounded. Didn’t really think that one through. Lol. Some of my favourite pedals are stereo. DD20, SMWH etc.
Haha. Thanks for your input! I totally get where you’re coming from. I actually went home after work and took the 2 Digitech pedals off just to see where it got me.
I am making a “live” board and an “odd-ball” board. My live board will have all my essentials (mostly delays and power boosters/overdrives) whereas my “odd-ball” collection will have all those weird and wonderful effects I only really use once a blue moon for recording or when I have a couple hours to kill at night and feel adventurous.
The whammy is sick. Even the new one (some people complain and say it’s too digital whereas the 1st one was warmer). I bought it and went “oh great, all it does is Tom Morello” but then over time I discovered it does a really nasty chorus in DETUNE mode which is really unique and its OCTAVES are pretty interesting. Also the 5th harmony mode adds some weird suspensions when playing normal chords. A little inspiring when you’re in a rut.
I almost agree with you on the Digitech front. I only have those because they were some of the first pedals I bought. They are built quite well. I LOVE my Bad Monkey though. Phil X (of Fretted Americana) uses it and I thought, “what they hey”. Have not regretted it.
I have slowly found out over my time playing that my ESSENTIALS are generally delays and sometimes dynamic processors (overdrives, compression) not such a modulation kind of guy. I like it, but only really in the studio, live it’s sort of lost on me. Mainly because I am busy vocalising, and don’t have time to tap dance on my pedal board. It’s one of two things DRIVE or CLEAN with me live. And occasionally delays are thrown in, just because delay makes everything better!  :thumb:

was that about four or five months ago? I try to keep an eye out for his stuff and that’s the last one I remember.

if it was, you outbid me by about $2.25AUD.

Oh my goodness! How weird is that!? Such a small small world! It was! Totally. Good thing you didn’t buy it though. I had to send it back. Something was wrong with it. I think a couple of capacitors were faulty. He fixed it free of charge, but I had to pay for postage.
He’s good though. His EHX Holy Grail mod looks cool as well, but I can’t get it on my NANO version. Lol.
Unbelievable!
Have you got any of his other stuff? He had a pretty good RAT mod recently. And his Whammy mods are OFF the hook! Great functionality.

no i haven’t had a chance to try out any of his stuff (i’m in the States, so international pedal modding always seems like a bit of an excessive expense) but I really would like to. His blog/twitter/website are terrific.

Fair enough. Well it’s REALLY good for you that you didn’t win. The postage for sending it back would’ve SUCKED!
But I guess you guys are lucky because you get cheaper EHX, Fender and Gibson stuff and basically everything US made. The import and duty taxes I have to pay are steep! Then you’ve got the currency exchange. But it’s usually worth it! Viva La US Made Music Gear!

cleaned it up, changed a few patch cables, changed a few more things - here it is, nice and clean and ready to be taken to the tomorrow rehearsal…

edit: oh and the green ringer clone and tremolo now have chickenhead knobs

I finally made a picture of most of my pedals in an experimental mood today, I still don’t have a board though;-)

Most recent pic of my pedals!

I have 3 separate boards so I just thought I’d post a pic with all my pedals!  Enjoy! (The pic is a thumbnail FYI)

Here’s mine!

Tele or SG -> looper: Pitchblack; MF 101- MF 102; TS diy - BD2 Monte Allums; Small Stone - Polychorus; SMMwH; RE20. -> AC30cc2x

there’s a huge hole because I sold my HOG + footswitch. little big muff and M-Audio Expression pedal will arrive soon. Maybe I will have a little space for a nano, who knows.

hey, that’S a cool pedalboard how does the SMMH sound combined with the BOss RE_20?

I don’t combine them so far. I always use them alone.

Hello,
WOW, all of the awesome Electro Harmonix Gear!
I have to do my part and post my dinky little EH Gear…
I only a few but I do get some Amazing Tone with what I have!!

Not the best pictures I took them with my cell phone. lol
