After nearly 2 years of growing my guitar skills, this is the current level of equipment I'm using to help me "find my sound". Nothing here is going break the bank, or get the professionals all wet and gooey, but it makes me feel like a rock star.
In the back a new Fender Frontman 25R amp ($99), and on the Voodoo Lab Power Plus+ ($160) transformer-equipped PedalTrain ($99) board, (from left-to-right) a DigiTech RP155 ($94) multi-effects box including drum machine and looper, a DeltaLab TO1 Tube Overdrive pedal ($49), a DeltaLab RD1 Rock Distortion pedal ($49), a Way Huge Swollen Pickle Mk II Jumbo Fuzz pedal ($129), a Boss TU-3 Tuner ($99), and an Original CryBaby Wah pedal ($69).

A short film of us writing and recording the song Big City. The actual recording process was spread over about 4 weeks - this is from the first session where we decided to start tackling the recording of this song. The week before we'd already layed down the initial MIDI tracks. This was shot at our friend's house (Andy Leddington), the same place as other Bournemouth acts have recorded - such as Dutch Husband, True Swamp Neglect and The Hat

New Pedal Monday
I had my Mom get a smaller storage unit this morning and intended to resume cleaning out the large one and even begin moving to the little one. However, I made it all the way to U-Haul Storage of Dublin and realized my access card and lock keys were in the Golf...I was driving the Jetta. After some choice expletives I turned around and decided to go to Lowe's to see what kind of bathtub surrounds they had.
I'm glad I went to Lowe's to look at bathtub surrounds because they had a much better store display than the two Home Depots I stopped at. Also, there was a fairly knowledgeable associate there to answer my questions. I think I'm going to go with the store-brand offering for $249. I sent pictures of it to Stacy and she said it was fine. I sent the same pictures to Doug and he wanted to make sure it would work with an existing tub and find out if he was supposed to buy it or I was. I told him I would pay for it and have it delivered to the condo. He wants me to have them open and inspect it to ensure nothing is damaged during shipping.
After Lowe's, I went to Micro Center to do some Christmas shopping and ran into Mark Bowman. He said he's playing bass in a band now and living in an apartment so playing drums isn't very practical. I started to offer him my G&L but he needs a 5-string. He said he was headed to Music-Go-Round next and so was I!
At Music-Go-Round I did my typical sweep of the store but decided to use my store credit and reward dollars to help pay for this MXR Carbon Copy analog delay. It ended up costing me $21.24 after all that. Not bad for $20!
Laurie called late tonight and asked if I could give her and her friend a ride at 3pm. She said where but I wasn't sure I understood her right...
(January 2009)
I recently got my hands on the Digitech HardWire DL-8 Delay pedal, so that brought about another revision to the pedalboard. I removed the really old Boss pitch shifter/delay and analog delay pedals. I may put back the Boss analog delay, but I'm not sure I'll ever need three delay pedals on there!
I also moved the VariOboost to the top row, which puts it in the effects loop instead of in front of the amp. This makes it's effect MUCH more pronounced. I have it set to tame the insane amount of midrange that I can't otherwise dial out of my Mesa Stiletto. (I don't need it with my Lone Star, though).
That leaves an empty spot on the bottom row for another addition. I'm thinking about the Catalinbread Serrano Picoso boost. We'll see.
One other note....
Those Digitech HardWire pedals have an interior switch that allows you to turn true bypass on or off. I turned true bypass OFF in the reverb pedal, since it's the last one in the chain, and the signal is making a 20 foot trip to the pedalboard and another 20 foot trip back to the amp. The others are true bypass, so I thought it'd be a good idea for one of them to have a buffer on. The same is true for the bottom row - the MXR phaser is non-true bypass, so I have a buffer there, too.
(This is probably way more than anyone wanted to know.)
Here's what's on it, in order of signal flow (right to left, bottom to top).
BEFORE THE AMP:
Peterson Strobo Stomp tuner (v1)
Keeley Compressor
Fulltone OCD overdrive (v1)
BB Preamp overdrive (with cool copper finish)
MXR EVH Phase 90
IN THE AMP'S EFFECTS LOOP:
Catalinbread VariOboost parametric eq/boost
MXR Carbon Copy Analog Delay
Digitech HardWire DL-8 Delay/Looper
Digitech HardWire RV-7 Digital Reverb
AND FINALLY:
Amp footswitch (Stiletto switch works identically for my Lone Star)
.. love this bag to death... have been using it either for photoshoot or band practice sessions... sometimes both :)
Especially love the laptop/ipad compartment underneath..
Bag - Think Tank Streetwalker HardDrive
In The Bag - from left, counterclock wise: Zoom G3, EHX Metal Muff Micro, Boss FS5L, Dunlop Strings 10-46, Eneloop Charger, Rockman Equalizer
The signal goes this way:
Polytune Mini: due to small space available in the board, this pedal fits well below the wah.
Dunlop CAE MC404 Wah: designed by Bob Bradshaw, this wah helps me to have 2 sounds: classic red fasel for the solos, and the yellow one for rhythm
Digitech Bad Monkey: a cheap and versatile TS pedal, used for low drives and boosting the gain for RAT.
Proco RAT 2 modded: this pedal has a 3way mod swtich, sounds perfect for solos (sometimes boosted by Bad Monkey).
MXR Phase 90 with smooth mod: mod made by Ed's Mod Shop, cuts off the pop and the dirty drive low mid boost from the original block phase sound.
Boss CH-1 Super Chorus: lush and brighty chorus, 80's perfect sound!
Joyo Us Dream: cheap drive, used for low drive (simulating a valve amp)
Boss ME-70: used basically for its compressor, boost, modern drive, delays, reverb and noise gate
Boss DD-7 Digital Delay: used almost always in analog mode.
Taken the other i was practicing. Learning this song has been about 8 years in the making, ever since i first picked up the guitar. There have been a lot of set backs in getting it down. I hope to continue to get it near perfection sometime. Since it is the song that got me into playing music. I always like to pick up my axe and lose myself in whatever comes out of my fingers...

This is the only outboard effects processor I use in my live set. I bought it sixteen years ago, and the only thing to die on it has been the battery. Hence this shot of the unit without its cover.
Note positive contact on left.
Also, make sure the battery + and - contacts on both the battery and the battery holder are clean. When replacing the battery, you might have to stretch the holder out to remove the old battery, so remember to bend the contacts back in before putting in the new battery. Otherwise, the holder's contacts might not make a firm connection with the battery's contacts.

Effects Pedals modify the sound of a musical instrument such as an Electric Guitar by means of changes like distortion, modulation, and feedback. They are often found on the floor on a pedalboard, and are operated with the feet.
The photo shows (left to right) a Marshall Bluesbreaker (which emulates the sound of the combo amplifier of the same name), a DigiTech EX-7 Expression Factory, Line 6 DL-4 Delay Modeler Pedal, an Ernie Ball VP JR (volume pedal), TC Electronic PolyTune (tuner) and a Boss CH-1 Super Chorus (makes sounds of similar timbre and pitch converge as one)

From years ago...a single, by chance recording. At the end of a session with Steve Booke he handed the mic over to his friend Treza...and this voice and precious lullaby suddenly filled the room. It is organic, loving and timeless.
The flute was then added at a later session.
