As Bsmk moves back into a writing phase, I tried out a new combo which I'm kinda loving.-Boss TU-2 (fuck every other tuner, btw)-Ross Distortion (black box early 80s, set about noon on both dials- always on)-Boss FZ-2 Hyperfuzz (set on Fuzz 1, pretty aggressive settings)-Homemade Red Llama clone (distrortion maxed, vol at about 4)I think adding my guyatone delay might make this the ultimate board for whatever I do. Ran it through the quilter. will double check it w/ the bassman next week. see how it all works out.

Did a search in google but couldn't find anything, so sorry if this has been done.Anyway, design your dream pedal board, if money was no problem. It's one board, though. None of this dual board shit. This is a make-choices situation. What other considerations(than the pedals)?Be specific please.

Since money is no object, the GigRig2 and one of those fancy Schmidt Array pedalboards to house it. As far as pedals, a Belle Epoch Deluxe is definitely on my list.

I guess I pretty much have it in that I don t want to change anything. My dream pedalboard would be one that works every time I step on it. Fromel Shape - to get Greg Sage sounds out of the neck humbucker (ie, dumps some mids). With the way I have my amp set that pickup is usually a wooly mess. Roger Mayer Voodoo Vibe -Set to a slight boost and very slow shimmer on the vibrato setting. Just enough to hear the overtones moving. Hot Cake - all knobs a little past noonany analog or tape delay just to smear the sound a bit or get a Jimmy Page style slapback when I want Union Tube and Transistor More - set a little above zero for slight volume and EQ changeOnly the overdrive and boost are constants, the other stuff comes and goes as I feel like it, and I pretty much never have them all plugged in at once.
