I've had amps with them, but I just kind of like stuff running in front of the amp.

same, I have three amps with fx loops and I don't think I have ever used any of them.

Essentially same as last time but with the new Street Sweeper in front of everything. The plan is routing it so the chain goes-

Saturn V > Street Sweeper > Tremolessence > WOW Signal > E600B > Lemon Drop > Spring Chicken > '76 Ram's Head > Surf Rider Deluxe > PS-3

Everything is macguyver'd so "it fits" 1st and "sounds good" 1a, making it the optimal time to get some more pancake jacks and screw around yet again.
I've had more patch cables fail within the past 2 weeks than cumulatively up until then, and had to remove the Launch Pad and use its cable just to connect the new SS.

Also I'm well aware of the absurdity in having $2500 of pedals at the mercy of a few bucks in bulk wire & connectors.


Feeling real confident that the Street Sweeper is the workaround to my wah-handicap.



Next day edit: Street Sweeper is much more usable than any wah I've gotten my h...feet on. Able to nail the Colorsound "WOW" tone as heard on Curtis...but fears have been confirmed...I still suck at it ...but sound marginally better...so I guess that's encouraging

Any chance of clips?

All that Moog...must be fun f'real...aside from having to move/change around the board.

But dude...not enough expression pedals!

if i want the 'best' possible sound, yes.
dirt/comp into the front of the amp and then phaser/trem/etc in the loop

Put this together tonight!
EP-2 is for delay time on the El Capistan

dude that looks awesome
I know this is a strange thing to be excited about but I really love those right angle adapters like the one on the polytune
everyone should have one wicked helpful

Yeah, but that's still not nearly enough expression pedals

First, this picture happened:


Then, this happened:


Baby's first pedal board.

Now, this is my living room setup:


Living the rock star lifestyle.

I've tried a few different multi-effects things in the living room but I'm a lot happier with that little pile of minis. I want to swap out the muff for something that works better with the humbuckers in the LTD and I'll probably add a TC Ditto eventually. And maybe make up some kind of little board to keep them tidy. But this setup sounds great and is so fun to play.

indeed! I always have one on the last pedal in my chain so i can push it right up against the wall and the little table i put my amp on

that is a sweet collection of minis

I have the pure octave
and of the new pedals I really want to try the tiny EQ and the DI
both would tuck in a board nicely and make using different amps go smoothly

yeah I like it on the first pedal too so that I can keep from wearing out it's jack and place it closer to the edge of the board

Usually I use it to turn the shitty straight jack on the moog ep-2 into a right angle
But there's so many other things you can do with it, I need moar of them!
