Pedal stuff
I hate guitar gear. I'm one of the few that you'll find that actually say that. I just love to play. That's what does it for me. Why all the unnecessary other stuff? Can't we just play w/o all the bells and whistles? No... unfortunately not. Drives me insane. I'm in the process of resetting my pedalboard, something I do every 5 years probably. This is what's on it as of now..... in order.... Xotic RC Booster, Janglebox compressor, Clyde Wah, Keeley modded TS-808, Xotic AC Booster, Fulldrive 2 (this will probably change in the near future), Choral/Flange, Keeley modded TR-2, volume pedal, Keeley modded DL-4... all of these pedals are chained through a loop master now too. I just finished cutting wires and hooking it up. 33Miles has a concert this Friday... I hope that everything works right!!! We'll see. You're probably wondering why so much? Well it's more for studio work. I actually can do 33Miles concerts with just a tuner and a drive pedal to be honest. But.. when you're in the studio... it's nice to have options. I don't claim that this is the best pedalboard setup in the whole world either... it's just what's working for me as of today... trust me... it will change many times. Guitarists... I'd love to hear what you guys are using these days!!!

My current pedal set up is...Boss TU2, Keeley Compressor (4 knob), Fulltone OCD, BYOC Screamer, Boss DD20, BYOC Phaser, Fulltone Choralflange, Cusack Tap-O-Whirl, Xotic RC Booster.

Cool bro.... how do you like the Cusack? I had a friend recommend it to me, but never messed with it.
ReplyDeleteSo I'm a HUGE Cusack fan! I love my tap-o-whirl and their screamer is suppose to be awesome. I love the fact that it has a tap tempo on it. It's very useful. They are a bit pricey but they're worth it. They come with a lifetime guarantee and they're made very well.
