Ernie Ball flats (3")

My grandson wanted to put together a pedalboard, which made me so happy! :) He wanted an "all mini" and I was impressed with a few of his choices. We did have several that didn't make the board, and at least one that he is still on the fence with. The order is a collective effort and needs a few changes, but I have really enjoyed playing thru it with just the boosts. The "board" is temporary as it just isn't beefy enough, and does not accommodate the 2x CS7s.

Now he wants to DIY a pedalboard. What a great kid! :love:

Want a fatter, balder grandson who lives in Canada?

Papa? Papa?!
 
I still listen to the Cure, the Smiths, Killing Joke, early Hoodoo Gurus, Pixies, Models - even Simple Minds for the '80s bombast. They used to sound amazing on a big nightclub sound system. I have a soft spot for '80s music as it was when I was out all the time clubbing, pubbing and playing a lot.

That's an impressive board - but why would anyone need so many overdrives?? (Probably a silly question here!)

Colin Hay's acoustic release of Overkill is a regular earworm, as is Don't Dream It's Over.

The acoustic version of overkill is incredible. I love the original too though— a perfect guitar solo; short and melodic with no unnecessary notes.

Have you ever seen Tim Pierce’s video on Don’t Dream It’s Over? Great watch

They really tie the board together nicely...:ROFLMAO:

The Duke mainly stays in boost mode, and is one of the weak links. TBH neither the fuzz nor OD options wowed us compared to the other colorful options surrounding it. The HoneyBee is a lovely drive and really shines at lower to mid gain (my pick), whereas the SL has a definitive bite. Rat is Rat of course but I think we could do a decent DIY with all the groovy versions floating about the forum ;) We also had a Nobels in the mix, which stacked pretty well but was edged out early on.
There was also a couple of other boosts, a Keely Katana and a Swine, both great pedals, but seemed to color the tone in a direction different than he was looking for.

I will not explain multiple Jimi fuzz pedals, just sayin' :ROFLMAO:
