SHOW OFF YOUR PEDALBOARD!

[la szum]

I can clearly see that humor doesn't belong in music.

Sure it does. It's just that some of the more or less humourless people make it seem it doesn't.
The good news is those kinds of peolpe self-identify and reveal themselves.

Even in this thread.

Sure it may just look like a small pallet but one day there will be pedals on it

Yep, that will work.

I had a really informative dm'ing with @newpedals , where she really shared some knowledge with me about different Boss distortions. I tried the DS2, the the DS1W and then the standard DS1. I thought the DS1 was the solution, but in the end I struggled (after playing it 2 weeks) to get low gain tones, that weren't "too grungy". One night I was browsing a bit drunk and ordered the Donner Morpher for 28€ (free shipping). It is... wow for that price. It's a cheap Suhr Riot clone and can do low classic rock to 90s "modern rock" (Drop D riffs) as well.

Bad thing is: Now I want a real Suhr Riot and they are a) not too cheap and b) not really availeable in Germany

Low gain/overdrives are the hardest damn thing, at least for me. I have the Barber Gain Changer since a while back, and it’s highly praised as a great overdrive for pushing amps and also for its own gain character into a clean amp, as a dirt pedal. But… there’s just something there I don’t get along with… it was the same with the Boss OD-3, a very good pedal to.

I struggle with the low gain OD’s and so far the ones I’ve liked most for adding a touch of dirt/compression is the Dod 250, Timmy and Barbershop (Fairfield Circuitry). All of which are fairly transparent and retain lows. My conclusion is that I like and prefer OD’s that doesn’t alter the EQ much. The struggle continues.

I might end up with a MXR Timmy.

I've found for my taste low gain ODs are really amp dependent. I love the Sweet Honey OD and the Honey Bee into a fender amp but find them kinda harsh into a Marshall. I prefer the Timmy into a fender too, love OD250 into a Marshall and don't really like it into a fender. That's why you need em all.

I know a lot of guys are tired of Timmy praise - but I love that pedal!

Still waiting on 1 more multi-effects from Positive Grid.

A bit uneven, but otherwise a nice spaceship you got there!

What's the big unlabeled thing in the middle of the upper row - a boost, maybe?

My secret weapon.

The "Baldwin Fun Machine" is a polyphonic analog synthesizer and organ that features a "minor touch" function.

What is the RE-202 Space Echo like?

I have been "simplifying" lately. In other words, I sold all my pedals (except the Surfybear) and put this together.

I am guessing that you will be using the 6 footswitches at the bottom to cycle through presets or something. Nice.

I use them for few different things, quicker access to presets being one of them. I was actually surprised how much you can do with just the three switches of the FM3 (my first Fractal) and I would definitely get by with only them. But it sure is nice to have certain things only one press of a switch away.

I guarantee that intro is the Fun Machine, sounds like my old one. Too bad I don't have it anymore, took up too much room, but it did live up to its name under the right circumstances

Had the board fired up tonight.

Top is the analog stuff I run into the front of the amps in mono. Side board, the digital stereo stuff run into fx loops.

Thinking about adding a GigRig Quartermaster and then finding a new hobby.
