Main Board

 

This is the latest rig I've been running. I'm listing the pedals in the order of my signal chain.

Korg Pitchblack Tuner: Been on my board for about 8 years. Easy to read and tunes great.

EHX Micro POG: I've always kept this pedal on my board because it comes in handy when I want thicken up a line.

Exotic Effect SP Compressor: Great little compressor, I used the Barber Tone Press for years and recently am trying this little guy out to save room. So far so good! 

Paul Cachrane Timmy: This is my first stage drive. I'm like that this pedal has separate bass and tone controls. It helps me dial in my tone across the different guitars. It's always on and is set at unity gain. 

Fulltone Full-Drive 2: This is one of the first drive pedals I bought as a teenager. Over the years I've grown to love the natural warmth I get out of the FD2. My other drives may cut through the mix well but they don't have the fullness or body. I use the FD2 for my second gain stage and just stomp on the boost side to reach last and heaviest gain stage. The boost actually doesn't boost at all, instead it works perfectly as a second dirty setting on the same pedal.   

Exotic Effect EP Boost: I like having a boost pedal to go after my drives raise the level of my signal without adding extra gain. This little boost works perfect. It has plenty of headroom and it is full of harmonic richness. On a side note I think the clear knobs on these pedals look cool.

Boss CE-2: I got this guy on craigslist for $50. When I got home I did some research and turns out it's one of the earliest models that Boss made of the CE-2 and it has the silver screw for the battery compartment. I know this pedal is somewhat legendary because of how many records it's on and the chorus definitely lives up to it. It has a bright and vintage sound to it. 

Dr. Scientist Tremolessence: This 

Ernie Ball Vp Jr: Nothing super special here. Mine isn't modded, but over the last few years I've been developing a unique way of wiring the string inside of these type pedals so that I won't break as often. I am always repairing my buddies pedals. Maybe someday I'll be able to sell the idea to Ernie Ball 

Boss DD-5: I love DD-5's. I love the tap feature.
