First i had a small board. it consisted of a ds-1 and a hendrix wah. i added a dod flashback fuzz. i dont have a pic of that.

with some graduation money, i bought a digitech whammy, tu-2, and ge-7. i jacked my little brother's fab pedals, and this is what happened. (note-i just bought a russian muff before this pic.)

rig here: jh-1, tu-2., ds-1, big muff, chorus, flanger, whammy, ge-7 (never use the metal pedal.

then i backed off and wanted to downsize. i grabbed a piece of ply from a dumpster outside home depot, and downsized. still didn't have a sweet delay.

rig as it appears there is tu-2, jh-1 wah, ds-1, russian bmp, ge-7, and fab echo.

i downsized a little bit again (my big muff broke), and then built a new board out of an ikea shelf.

since then, i've added a vintage fx overdrive, an mxr carbon copy, and a borrowed 70's d+. i don't have any pics of that yet.

what's next? probably an overhaul of the things i don't like, and some effects i'm missing. tell me what i should get. i'll probably listen.

what i'm looking for as of now:
sho
diamond vibrato
mini deja vibe
choralflange
budwah
semaphore
pds 1002
subdecay quazar
keeley compressor
xo deluxe memory man
hyper pak
teaser stallion
big muff (probably a tone wicker)

2/10/08 First board pic (prior board changes undocumented, sadly).

6/26/08 Hello PT Pro

8/03/08 Too much fuzz. My wife begins to complain that every time she looks at my board it's different. :lol:

10/11/08 Hello PT2. After my anemia gets worse and right before the Cancer surgery. I need a lighter board. I'm a puny wimpy girly man with no muscle.

11/15/08 The above board is really cool, all the pedals are keepers, but I need more flexibility. Thus the final board, dispite all the above evidence, I vow to keep it like this for at least 6 or 7 months (however long it takes me to complete chemo), whereupon I shall probably go back to my PT Pro.

God, that's almost embarassing. :facepalm:

Well i kind of bought it just because i had no idea what i actually wanted so i just got the biggest board i could find, because using that huge plank of wood wasen't gonna work, now i have the exact idea i want, and for 1:the size of the PTpro is perfect and its just a little easier to carry around.

Altough with the Board in the case, the PT and HC is almost the exact same size, but the old board i had only had one handle on the side, which made it an incredible pain to move it around.

So I guess for guitar i would say no, just because at least compared to the old ATA case, the PT is just what i need and is way easier to get around and feels a sturdier being that the lid is connected to the main poart of the case. all though at least for when ever i start playing alittle more bass, i'm hoping to buy one of those smaller Heavy duty cases from Rondo, i don't know the model but it's obvious which one is the heavy duty one

can't find most of my old pics.. but here's what i've got in chronological order

'03
playingattheparty.jpg

ended up adding a wah (dunlop) to that and eventually a chorus (arion).

then i got a korg ax1500g that i put after my other pedals.

digitalcamera003ip19.jpg

stuck with that until the zoom g9.2tt came out at which point i started to have a multi-fx centric board.. the single pedals changed constantly but the zoom stayed for a year or so.
DigitalCamera028-1.jpg

DigitalCamera048-1.jpg


Finally got rid of the zoom at the beginning of '07 and went to (mostly) singles again.

Image014.jpg

The single pedals remained in constant rotation as always, but a were gaining a permanent spot.. (mainly the LBM, Fuzz Factory, Fish n' Chips, and Echo Park)

Digital1199.jpg

....until i got a board that i was pretty much completely happy with (big muff for main fuzz, fuzz factory for leads, eq, echo park with a micro pog getting its input from an output of the echo park and feeding it back into the other input for octave up reverse delays, and a verbzilla)



.... then i almost completely quit playing electric

acoustic.jpg

and now that i'm starting to play electric again, i get to pretty much start from scratch with tons of gas from all the new stuff that's out mad.gif

Ha - thanks!

Actually, I'd really like a Colorsound Wah eventually. But yeah, I didn't use it enough to warrant the space.

Well, sort of - I have two. The one in the first three pics is an older model without the Tim value gain pot - its a little bit more grainy sounding. I got a sweet deal on a second newer version and I like it a little more so that one got the spot on my main board.

The original went to my mini jam board:

The Timmy is my bread and butter - I built my whole friggin' board around that thing.
