As often as I try, I can't deny my metal roots. m/:mad:m/

This is true to a certain extent, though I actually prefer rubber feet over velcro. :o:p

You mentioned the fact that you could not make out certain pedals, which would probably explain the above comment. I actually have a number of pedals with multiple functions. Only 3 of my current stompboxes have a single mode.

If I really wanted to whittle down my number of pedals, I would need to find an all-in one fuzz ... the BTMB Anthology comes close, but it can't do octaves, glitches, buzzing, or extreme EQing.

i would need a manual to work it, but I am sure I could handle your rig... i feel compled to give you an I for incomplete... but that doesn't mean your rig is not looking good... just from your posts and gear lust sig... i think you are not where you want yet... but I am ready to rate it positive when it is done...



Given that I am such a gear whore, I'm afraid I will never have an official 'hangwire rating'. :(

next.



Thanks for the review. This has been known to sit on top of my amp from time to time.

Oh and I am not picky about pics (no pun). I really can play with almost anything. Sometumes I use no pics, but I generally lean towards mediums just because they are in between everything else I guess.

:)



Shops in any area carry MXR, Boss & Morley pedals.

Your geography based rating must be have been induced by some type of elixur that I'm hoping helped your condition.

not my style of amps or guitars... not really a rack guy... but just thinking of lugging that around is painful... as a studio set up, i bet you are in heaven man... too complex for me to jump into... but a positiev rating on your range of sounds...

 

 

I don't lug everything around... I have a smaller rack that is 4U and a small pedalboard for that. It is indeed the big studio setup. It's not that complicated once everything is plugged in. It's the different choices of configuration that are mindboggling when building the thing. Lots of trial and errors !! Once it's done, it becomes very easy.

Thanks, I'd like a fancy amp head like a Fuchs or a Bad Cat, but honestly between my two heads I get great sounds at any volume, from insanely loud to insanely soft.
