let's see your pedalboard!

I can’t decide. A lot, most, of these pedals are cloned. This is as far as I’ve gotten! I have a Joyo 8 loop switcher but I think I use too many pedals. All going on a Pedaltrain Classic Pro.

But here’s 2 versions of my old board MANY years back. Remember Snarling Dawgs. I did have theirs blues bawls and the red wah at one point. P.O.S.

I wish I still had MANY of those pedals.

This is pretty hilarious. No one probably cares, but this was a well thought out signal chain with nothing random about it. I’m reporting back to say it worked out great last night.

Stacking a low-gain Ge device with a hard clipper was providing a thick meaty tone, yet wasn’t getting in the way of the bass player. The SG-1 and the Ghost Echo was coaxing some vintage synth lead sounds. Every combination was a great tone.

I guess it's down to the amp you are using and the tones you are after. What sound are you going after?

The SG-1 is kinda one of those pedals I didn’t think would hold up but I do return to it time to time because it is a pretty unique analog circuit that can be fun, without being a useless noise maker

I think most of sounds that influenced me come from classic rock and 90s alternative.

I like EL84-based open back combos. I usually set the dry signal so that it’s clean on a single coil neck, and breaks up on the neck humbucker. The Holy Grit steps that up so that the neck pup starts breaking up.

On my TA7136P equipped DS-1, I don’t set the gain very high. But I set the output loud, because distorting the tube preamp is a better tone, and the DS-1 adds it’s color to that. With both gain pedals on and the bridge pup, I step into the entry point of chug territory with a surprisingly low noise floor.

The SG-1 gets a lot of shit. But to me that’s a skill issue. If you can’t get it to swell on the notes that you want, practice controlling your playing. A fun fact about psychoacoustics is most of the distinctive timbre of an instrument is in the initial attack. Take out that attack and you can parrot other instruments.

The ghost echo is fine, but honestly, I’m using it because I need a proper delay! I have PCBs for the MBP DM-2, the Schutone DM-3, Lectric’s MXR-118, MBP Skoolie, Anamorph… every time I build a delay pedal, someone gets their hands on it. I’m keeping the next one!

Sounds like we are into a lot of the same stuff, we just go about getting there differently. I got tired of trying to do the clean combo amp thing with multiple drive pedals to do a marshall sound and built a a Marshall 😂 turns out I just needed an SD-1 as a boost. Classic GOTA move🤦

I actually picked up an EvolveDIY Mini after reading your build report. Next step is either finding a donor head cab or buying a fresh one from the RawCabs dude.
