A lot have changed since my last pedalboard picture which was the biggest I ever had. After that I bought the Vox amp which doesn't react that well to some pedals and moreover I wanted less distraction so I came back to something really simple with juste distorsion, delay and a tuner.
But it couldn't last, Gas got me again but what saves me is maybe lazziness : I don't want to carry a bigger pedalboard than the one in the picture or have some other pedals outside. So I'm gonna stick with this and actually it's enough to do quite a lot of flavors thanks to the digitech on the left that does wah, pitchshift, chorus, flanger and leslie

My new setup for guitar.
Previously I was using a Fender Frontman 15G, which is a lousy practice amp that comes with cheap starter guitar/amp sets. It had grounding issues and was very noisy, with lots of static and hum. It's tone was also pretty bad. I did get it for free though, so I can't complain much.
The Vibro Champ XD is 5 Watt (Class A) Tube Amp with modeling. I got it used on ebay for $116.
it's pretty sweet. Because it's only 5 watts, you can crank it up and get some nice warm tube distortion at acceptable apartment volumes. The preamp is hybrid tube/solid state with the digital signal processing. It has a 12AX7 in the preamp and a 6V6 power amp tube. The tubes warm up the DSP preamp nicely.
It has 3 Bassman voicings (clean to overdriven), 3 Blackface voicings (again clean to overdriven), a couple of "British" models, which are assume are attempts at a VOX AC30 and a Marshall Plexi. There are also a couple of metal voiced high gain channels as well. Rounding out the dial is a "jazz" voice that is very dark and warm and a model of the Fender Acoustasonic, an amp design for acoustic-electric guitars.
I'm running it into a Kutom 1X12 Cabinet, another ebay deal. Brand New, $89 shipped. The stock speaker sounds good, though it definitely needs to be broken in. It has more volume and low end than the XD's 8" speaker.
All in all, I think it's a sweet sounding budget rig.

Here is a picture of the pedalboard my dad and I put together today. This is pretty much the set of pedals I plan to use for gigs and stuff. The signal runs like this (for you guitarists out there):
Guitar ----> TU-2 --> Orange Squash (Compressor) --> Chorus --> Bad Monkey (OD) --> Blues Driver (OD) --> Booste Grande --> Sonic Stomp ----> Hot Rod Deluxe amp

When I came home from work today, my room had been lovingly re-arranged. My Korg and Casio were set up right next to each other like this, ready to play. The Dick Smith variable power supply was new that day on sale, and the multimeter is my trusted friend for many many years now.
My only wish is that the Casio had a mod wheel. It's got a Vibrato On/Off button, which applies Modulation controller in one big jump, but, no mod wheel. The lack of velocity sensitivity doesn't phase me that much.

Jamming in the studio Saturday 13th Sept 08
The BV boys have a new studio to play in. Interestingly it's situated underneath a pole dancing studio in Southbourne! This is the first in hopefully many insights into what actually goes on in there. This week we decided to take a break from recording and decided to have a jam - to see if we come up with anything interesting.
