    Melx Bobmould+ - in honour of everyone's favourite Husker DU guitaristRAT 2 - sounds a bit fuzzier than normal. Best RAT out there, the boutique Ruetz modded ones sound dull. Melx Bluesbreaker Mk 1 - built for me by my favourite Isle of Wight dweller.Diamond compressor - awesome pedal for clean freaks like me. Pearl analog delay - revamped for me by Owen Electronics. Sounds superb. Z-Cat tremolo - a recent purchase. Excellent vibrato setting and the reverb offers some good experimental sounds too. 

    All this goes into Reaper direct with additional plugins. Currently playing around with the Scuffham Amps demos. Very impressive but does force me into having to finally upgrade the ol' Athlon X2 processor this year :) 
    Your rat is set either very loud or very quiet!
    As there are no leads between any of them its pretty much a moot point!

    Just wired up my latest version - this will do me for a while (unless I swap out the zen for a lazy j)

    Not the most exciting board on here, but I just wired up my rehearsal board - a lot more convenient than the behemoth I'm gigging with...

    Here's my minimalist pedalboard:

    Got a walkthrough on my Youtube channel. And also got a tour of the U2 sounds this board gets on that channel too - link to hearing the sounds and an annotated walk-through of how I got those sounds --> HERE ARE THE PEDALBOARD SOUNDS

    Chain is:
    Guitar
    > Interface in
    > Wampler Ego
    > Windu Boost
    > TC Flashback
    > Strymon Bluesky
    > Interface out
    > Amp (MJW Bantam)

    Absolutely LOVE this setup, and gets me everything from U2 through to AC/DC. Will be loading more videos to show it off soon.

       This is my current pedalboard that I finally completed in May this year. It looks like a pretty boring pedalboard compared to some in this thread, but is the result of a quite a few years buying and trying to find pedals that work into the top boost channel of a Vox AC30, as I do not have a normal channel on my amp that 'eats up pedals' apparently... 

       I did use a ProCo WF Rat pedal for a while, which was good for the higher gain sounds but lacked too much bass for me on lower gain settings and I couldn't get the Vox-loving Hotcake to work as it was either too sterile and spikey or flat out mush. The biggest/most expensive disappointment was a Bearfoot EGDM that I haven't even managed to get one decent sound out of yet, despite the gushing reviews of it on TGP, I don't know what i'm doing wrong there...

       The Timmy is probably my favourite pedal out of the lot as it sounds almost exactly like my amp turned up, so I can get that glorious edgy break-up at more manageable volume levels. I wanted to buy another one for my higher gain settings but bought the Lovepedal AMP11 instead. This pedal sounds very similar to the Timmy (some say it is a clone, but let's leave it there for now...) and the boost is great for the few lead solos I play in the band. I usually have the gains set higher than is shown in the photo, this was my messing around at home settings. 

       The Fredric Effects Zombie Klon I use for either improving my clean sound by adding presence and sparkle when using my casino for example, or by maxing the gain and stacking it with the AMP11 to add some serious sustain for certain guitar parts. The Boss Flanger is there as i'm in a 90's Britpop covers band and there was a surprisingly high usage of this effect in this era, and I find the Hi-Band model just adds the wooshing jet sounds to the trebly parts and leaves my guitar part more intact so it is not over-powering the riff i'm playing. Lastly I have the Turbo tuner that is super fast for tuning up live and that's a TREX Fuel Tank junior velcro'd in the lip of my Pedaltrain Junior, looks like i've spent plenty of time on TGP :-)


    With so many comparison web sites out there, how do I choose the best one?

  • @skay - there are 5 pedals there and only 4 sockets used on the Fuel Tank? I know this is me being completely dense in some way but please put me out of my misery...

    Well spotted @EricTheWeary i'm impressed!

    The Boss Flanger pedal is an older Japanese made one, and these 80's Boss pedals will only work using the old ASA unregulated adaptors and not the newer type we use nowadays, something about the pedals using slightly more than the usual 9v that only an unregulated one can provide. 

    To get round this without resorting to using a battery, I have daisy-chained the Timmy and Flanger together, thus only using one socket on the Fuel Tank that you spotted. I'm not exactly sure why it works this way but somehow the Boss pedal can now suck as much power as it needs from the host pedal to work from a regulated power adaptor, clever stuff eh! 

    This also has an added bonus of leaving a free socket for me to take various other pedals to band practice and messing around with them or adding a Wah pedal at the front of the chain without having to juggle the whole pedalboard around.

    With so many comparison web sites out there, how do I choose the best one?
