here goes...


i started playing guitar in the early/mid 90s. for years all i really used was a Rat 2 and a DOD VibroThang (i still have the Rat, and have re-bought the VibroThang after selling it a couple of years back).


i picked up the odd pedal here and there (Boss DS-2, DOD Flanger, Sovtek Big Muff which i used occasionally) and an E-Bow (which i still have).


in the early 2000s i added an EHX Small Stone (still have).


things went downhill ( wink.gif ) when i joined HC in 2006...


quite quickly i ended up with this board (and most of the pedals listed above)...

i had a Box of Rock for a little while too, but it didn't really work well with my amp at the time.

(BYOC Tremolo, a 2nd Rat 2 which i heavily modded.)


a few additions/minor changes and by October 2007 i had this:

a month later and the DE7 was gone and replaced by a DM-2, and i had acquired a (then popular) Crunch Box:

i got sick of the Semaphore pretty quickly and put my BYOC Trem back on; there weren't many changes for a few months.


May 2008:

(Crunch Box and Mayo departed, EQD Hoof in.)


BoardMay_2008-1.jpg


then i sold the Timmy and Hoof, and was using an OD-3 for a while.

pretty soon after that, i got lucky on ebay a few times and picked up an Empress Trem and Barber LTD for less than half price, and added an SMMw/H:


botb2008entry_sm_35.jpg


this period was probably the height of my pedal-buying/trading and my collection grew considerably (thanks in part to some more ebay bargains - Tremulator, Throbak ODB, Micro POG, EQD Disaster Transport) ...


notable changes:

OUT: Empress Trem, Barber LTD, DM-2

IN: DM-3 and PN-2, Headrush


December 2008:

i started to get bored by 'boutique' pedals around this time and sold most of them...


i did pick up a few bargain Colorsounds around this time, and a Guyatone Touch Overdrive (which is pretty much my favourite pedal now) and would switch my pedals around regularly...


i also picked up a super rare DOD Stereo Reverb and a second PN-2...

(continued...)


since then i've been regularly going with minimal set-ups such as this:

... and have been collecting old Guyatone PS-series pedals, picking up more Colorsounds, some old Korg and Yamaha pedals too (amongst others), and replaced the Micro POG with a POG2...


some pics:

1358971170055079378S600x600Q85.jpg


that original ad-9 and the big cheese got stolen in a bar not long after...


...this was about a year ago,i did a trial run with this set-up (as you can see no cables)

but it was too much,so i stripped it down a bit

that's how they used to make them... the second footswitch is for slow/fast speeds.

the smaller version they make now is quite a recent change, i think.
