Re: What's in your pedalboard?

I love the delay/chorus on it. For now it has enough gadgets to make me not spend a thousand dollars on different types of pedals.

Red face Re: What's in your pedalboard?

Marshall JCM 2000 DSL 100. Love it and hate it at the same time (sounds great, built shitty). Settings: Deep-on, Presence 4, Treble 5, Mids 6, Bass 10, Tone Shift-off, No verb, Ultra Gain Volume 6, Gain 10, Lead 1 mode, Classic Gain volume 10, gain 5, Clean mode into a 4 ohm cab with Vintage 25s.

Effects Loop

Effects loop send >Boss BCB 60 pedal board> Boss Graphic EQ> Boss Phase shifter> Ibanez Digital Delay> K-MX Analog Delay (weird but awesome Korean brand, very well built)> BBE Sonic Stomp Sonic Maximizer> Boss Noise Supressor> Boss Chorus Ensemble-stereo out to> Behringer Echo Machine-stereo out back to board> Left channel back to effects loop return, right channel to a 120 Watt KMD G130SD 2x12 combo for stereo effects that are huge and amazing.

Guitar Input

Hamer Standard 1994 w/ EMG 81,85> K-MX Overdrive> Behringer Vintage Overdrive> Ibanez Tube Screamer> Boss Chromatic Tuner> Amp input

The real secret to my whole rig is the BBE Sonic Maximizer in the effects loop. It sounds like you are taking a blanket off the amp. This is the single best pedal for adjusting tone that I have ever used or heard for the JCM 2000. It corrects all the flaws in the tone with only 2 knobs and costs $100. I set it at Lo Contour 2 o'clock, Hi Contour 1 o'clock Can't go wrong with it.
And for shits and giggles try using the Classic Gain channel on Crunch mode and boost the hell out of it with a decent Overdrive pedal and you have a lot more musical distortion with less buzzy qualities.

Also if you have more than one amp, try them together. I have found that the tone of the 2000 can be quite hit or miss by itself but when paired with any other amp (especially high gain), the Marshall gives the sound that cut that they are famous for

I actually like the Aphex Guitar Xciter better than the Sonic Stomp. I have both. The down side to the Aphex is it takes a shit guaranteed. Once I sent it back, got fixed. It died again a while later and Aphex won't even shoot an email back to me. Awesome pedal when it works. Aphex can piss off!

I agree aural exciters work in the loop. Opens up the sound field to my ears.

Re: What's in your pedalboard?

Not the wildest, nor the biggest... but it does the job.
Will get a bigger pedal board when I more know what more pedals I need for my desired sound... will need to decide (and possibly save up enough dough ) for which amp to buy first.

The pedal board is a Boss BCB-60 and contains:
Dunlop Dimebag Crybaby (from Hell apparently, but I have lived quite close to Hell (Norway) and have never seen Dunlop Factories there )
Marshall Bluesbreaker II (this is just for boost)
Marshall Jackhammer
Digitech Hardwire RV-7 reverb
Boss CE-5 Chorus

The Digitech Hardwire RV-7 pedal is brand new btw... got it yesterday... awesome pedal...
Thanks to Riffraff for pointing me in the Hardwire direction... The RV7 is indeed value for the money...

Re: What's in your pedalboard?

I don't have a board, not enough gear.

Cry Baby, Dean Markley Overlord, Pork Loin --> Rack Unit with Chorus, Flang, Delays, Reverb, EQ and 12AX7 tube (if I need more) ---> Marshall '84 JCM800 2203--> 2x12 or 4x12 cab.

Re: What's in your pedalboard?

Added a Boss Compressor/Sustainer to my effects chain. My pedalboard (T-Rex Tonetrunk) is (still) loaded via the front due to some volume issues when using some of the effects in the FX loop of my TSL 100.

guitar > Boss TU-2 > Boss CS-3 > Fulltone Clyde Deluxe > Boss CH-1 > Boss BF-3 > Ibanez TS9DX > Boss NS-2 > Boss DD-20 > Amp

The Tuner is great for tuning and my killswitch when swapping guitars, the compressor/sustainer evens out the signal and improves the sustain, I use the Fulltone Whah mostly in the "whacked" mode (warmer effect), Chorus is a great effect and used frequently, Flanger for special effects, TS9DX for extra punch and saturation, Noise Suppressor - simply a must have, Delay - rarely used but neat to have.

Re: What's in your pedalboard?

I'm a simplistic player tone-wise. I like to try and get the most out of my amps. So if I actually have my pedals hooked up, this is what I use:

Jim Dunlop Univibe
Slash Crybaby Wah


The jury is still out on the Wah. I like the add-ons it has. The drive button that you can sort of kick with the side of your foot and all the gain adjusters... I haven't really played it enough yet to try and maximize it and figure out exactly how good it is in relation to how I want my sound to ... well, sound.

When I was younger, I would just blast everything and I thought I was pretty cool for it, but the older I get, the more I want my sound to be as quality as it can be.

*reference to other thread*

That's why I bumped up to playing on .11's, the tone is nicer according to my ear. And that's what's important right? Getting YOUR sound to sound the way your ear dreams about?

Re: What's in your pedalboard?



Pretty much my current set up minus a MXR Dyna comp. Would like to lose the chorus and find a older mxr yellow chorus like I had back in the 80's. They were sweet. Only use the EQ when I am playing a acoustic.

Re: What's in your pedalboard?

I have been digging my Electro Harmonix pedals. Seem to have found the last of the big box ones as well.

Re: What's in your pedalboard?

Here is my pedal board. The board itself is a Pedal Pad with onboard power distribution and a signal distribution box to handle the output options.

The chain goes-Boss tu2 tuner, Crybaby from hell, Vintage Guv'nor, ISP decimator gate, Boss compressor cs-3, Boss DD7 delay, Boss CE5 Chorus ensemble, MXR 10 band EQ, BBE Sonic Stomp. The ISP decimator is actually last in the signal chain but on the board it doesn't reflect that position.

Riding the bench are Boss SD1 Super OD, Boss MT2 Metalzone, EH Holy Grail reverb.

There is more I would like, but I am going to try a multieffects pedal out, I am hoping to run 2 amp rigs, each with a bit different effect chain. I am trying a Line 6 X3 pro rackmount setup with the long board foot control. It will probably be the best when working on projects or in lower volume rooms live. I think the 2 amp approach will really thicken the sound.

TBW.
