Interesting. The eq knobs are pre gain, the graphic eq is after. Going to have lots of fun dialling in sounds, and matching to IRs

Not an 'effect' per se. But a desert island amp for me. Mesa Boogie Mark V head. 'Rawk'. #guitareffects

I have a list of gear at the back of my mind that I'll buy when I see them if I can reasonably afford them. The list is fluid though stuff gets added all the time :D

I regularly swap pedals in and out to stop the 'I'm bored with this, lets sell it..... sellers remorse' happening. The drawers are in my rack..... which is definitely an 'it can do anything' collection.

Surprise NPD. Counts as 'another' early birthday present. Yippee. Technically its a Wampler Ego compressor with a flat/midhump boost... and I didn't have a realworld compressor sooooo. Looks cool and sounds VERY good on my input pedalboard. #guitareffects

Retail is cheaper ? On topic. It's probably a ratings/ public disgust tester to gauge if they can expand who and how many they can televise.

Apologies for the messy cabling... So far..... ambient washes behind playing are GO !!!! Experimenting with the order of Textures into Mood vs Mood into Textures (and adding expression pedals) will be fun....

For my rack. Having the FX 100wet and in parallel was key. The old FX had slow ADA and often no dry through. Mixing just the wet FX back onto the original sound improved things hugely. Did the same for my pedal drawers too.

Having a guitar shop nearby with a large used section is great........ And when a pedal I'm reading about appears........ "Pounce !!" richtonemusic.co.uk/second-hand/

Related - adding a line mixer to my rack made it way more usable.

Modern life. Watch Adam Savage handling cool props on YooToob.... Call up the film and see them...... Then try and remember what it looked like in the cinema. In the early 80s on scratchy prints.

NB. If you have the chance, get a Tri Avatar pedal. Its the best chorus.

But you're right........ need a tremolo

I think the DD-500 does too, from memory, the last few presets are the delay engines replicating every other kind of effcet (phaser, flange, chorus, tremolo, and reverb).

Before anyone chimes in about the cheapo powersupply - these are all quiet, low power pedals living nicely on the glorified daisychain. The rest of the pedals are powered by an MXR MC403 CAE (as close to a Bradshaw rack as I'll get).

Drawer 2 is where the madness happens. Drawer 3 is modulation. Drawer 1 is pitch and 'guest'drive pedals.

Going to experiment where it is in the FX chain. Before gain or after gain ? Before modulation or after ? I'm think just before the delay/reverb as its got reverb/delay onboard.
