SHOW OFF YOUR PEDALBOARD!

[la szum]

BTW, I haven't worked for Dig/DOD since July 1st, so I have no idea what they are up to. Some of the stuff I worked on will be coming out over the next couple of years, but my time there is done. I am full-time Spiral now.

Dang. I missed that. I thought he was doing both for a time there. Short-lived reboot, I suppose.

He was, I think for a while. They (Cortek) took on Digitech/DOD and started to roll out many of the DOD reissues again. Maybe @Tom Von Kramm was asked to help them out a little in the beginning?

wat?

My ancient RP-1 has an over drive that's called Rock Tube, sounds exactly like a Tom Scholtz Rockman. If I gain stack the Grunge distortion and mix it with Sustain distortion and EQ it a certain way way I can recreate a EXH Big Muff or 1980's Rat Distortion pedal.

I can do the same to get a Tube Screamer or a Boss DS-1 or any other distortion pedal.

All I have to do is get an A/B box and switch between the distortion, overdrive or fuzz pedal go between my effects processor's distortions and the pedal I am trying to emulate and next thing you know, I got the pedal emulated in my three effects processors.

First iteration of my new pedalboard.
I moved away from pedalboards in 2018 and now I'm "back" because I felt the need to go this route with my current band.

I'll probably replace the marshall switch with a smaller one with a detachable cable and add a patch bay (under the board I guess).

Maybe I'll add a couple of pedals in the future since there's some space left. We'll see.

Board structure is a Palmer pedalbay 40
Power supply is a Palmer PWT 05 MK2

TC Tuner, Mxr uni vibe & PzAmp clean boost are in front.
TC delay and PzAmp Focus Boost are in the loop.

Pzamp is a small Italian builder.

The pzamp Focus Boost is a passive volume pot that is disabled when pedal is "engaged" (led is on). I use it as a volume boost for solos.
Basically I keep the amp (20W jubilee) volume reduced for rhythm and turn off the reduction for leads.

I've made him build it for me when I had the 100W jubilee because these amps don't like volume boosts in the loop.

Sweet! Pedals into Amps are hella fun!

Palmer PB40 ftw!!!

I love mine. It's small enough to not be a PITA to lug, yet I managed to cram 7 pedals and a wah on there, and had the exact space for a plectrum tin left (my first ever, always found the Altoids boxes cheesy AF).

Palmer is an "unspectacular" but legit company.

This board is really nice in my opinion: light, very flexible and comes with few extras at a good price.

100% agree about Palmer. Is a good company but totally uncool.

But I win! I use the Harley Benton (thomman brand) copy of Palmer! I’m the uncoolest!

You're hands down the winner, here!.

I had a V30 loaded Harley Benton 2x12 years ago and wasn't that bad.
Construction was a bit fragile but sounded fine and price was so low that was basically close to the cost of the speakers alone.

Their cabs are fun for the price, definitely sound decent enough and it's no drama if there's a beer stain on top or a scratch in the tolex.

I have the HB 1x12 with my Laney Leadtop.

The construction is indeed a bit fragile, but I got mine £50 secondhand, and it certainly wouldn't be the end of the world if I had to rehouse it :)

Still the most epic bargain in the world of guitar gear IMO
