Rethinking my pedal board...time to make some changes.
So I am rethinking my pedalboard a bit. Here is what I have:
1. TC Polytune 2. Keeley Compressor 3. Tubescreamer Heaven 808 4. Barber Custom Shop Super Sport 5. Strymon Timeline (Controlled by Midi Moose) New thoughts: 1. Volume Pedal (Ernie Ball) A. TC Polytune 2. Keeley Compressor 3. Barber 1/2 Gainer OR Unlimited (@18V) 4. Strymon Timeline (Controlled by Midi Moose) 5. The Wet Mono Reverb I try to keep my boards as simple as possible as far as what is NEEDED. OVERDRIVE SITUATION: My Tubescreamer Heaven modded 808 reissue is a gem. It really sounds great with my strat but I play my Les Paul half the time and just can't get it exactly where I want it. I got the Super Sport and think its a really great pedal but I play it with the gain rolled all the way off where it is a one trick pony. Just a bit too much gain. I loved the Barber LTD. Wow! Super transparent! Then I saw the 1/2 gainer! I love that it has the midrange control too! I can dial in some sweet strat tones then roll the mids off for the LP. Plus I can have just a touch of dirt on channel one, and a bit more bite on channel 2 for some classic rock / lead stuff. ADDING A REVERB: I was going to go for the BSR but the wet is cheaper, loved by all of you, they are located down the street from me AND I have a spot with my current power supply. I saw some demos and think this is the way to go. VOLUME: I have been opposed to a volume pedal for a long time BUT I have been getting into more ambient goodness and like many of you have been disappointed in my Timeline's swell setting. Thinking about just going with a passive ernie ball…any thoughts? I think this combo is a good mixture to do just about anything with the fewest possible pedals... (side note: I also just removed a rammy ramm drive II that I will probably end up getting rid of too) ANY THOUGHTS? |
