Behold my massive board of pedals

How do you like the ODR-1? I use mine for very light gain. How do you use your yellow comp?

I use mine for fairly low gain, I have the Maxon set as my high-gain overdrive. I did used to use the ODR-1 for mid to high gain though, and it's sounded fantastic for every single application. It's probably the best overdrive I've ever used, for any money.

I use the Yellow Comp for very subtle compression, I don't go in for the super-squashed sound you get from Dyna Comps and the like. I have it set pretty transparently, all it really does is give me a little extra clean volume and smoothness. It also works a treat for thickening up the overdrives or for giving a very subtle gain boost to the Mesa's overdrive channel - not as much as kicking a low-gain overdrive in, but enough to make things a little more fluid. Really, really good compressor, and not just for the relatively small price - it's just very good.

I know it's strange having two overdrives AND a fuzz on the board when I'm using a Mesa which already has a screaming high-gain channel, but I've set this board up so I can take it anywhere, use any amp and have all the gain I need.

trying to work out which pedal goes on which board...the idea is to have one doom board, which will be high gain and some delay...and the second board being an experimental ambient board...

ha, it has acually lived underneath since I first got it years ago, and the brackets are still there... but when I redid my board there was such much extra space my credit card kept yelling at me.  It was the best I could do

Powerfactor 2 for me. Wanted a ciokolate, obvs. If more Moogs come in, may add a cioks link of some kind

CAE MC403 for me, has got the 18v needs too!

GavRichList

What needs 18?

joeyowen

Diamond comp and Prince of tone

(need was the wrong word I guess)

Either way, I need a new power supply as I don't need the AC anymore and I need more DC.

Might as well go big or go home

finally got done wiring up my big board...still need to make patch cables for the small board...but at least this is done and tested.

btw...@juansolo modded my Rat and Big Muff about 3 months ago, and it wasnt till tonight that i managed to actually try them out...let me just say...if you have a big muff (mine is about 5 years old, so not vintage etc) and you think it can do with a bit of kick in the back side...get a Mids control on it. Juansolo did that mod for me, and this pedal now is amazing. I never used the Muff, because the tone control was unuseable for me, past 12 o'clock it was too bright and shrill, and below was too muddy and lost. Now with the mid control, i turn that up and turn the tone knob down and i get big bottom end, but the mids brings back the cut without being too bright...simply amazing.

The Rat was a completely new circuit...but it sounds great, and there's three different rats to choose from, based on dip switches inside...big improvement on the previous circuit which was a re-issue circuit. To me it didnt sound that much like a rat...but now it will probably give me the black plague.

still no pedal board, but this is the current line-up I'm mucking around with

I've removed the expression pedals from the Rainbow Machine and the Count To Five for a while so that I can start jotting down a few of the variations that appeal to me, without having to leave one of them blank. I'm painfully aware that having accumulated so many pedals in a short space of time I've got a lot of learning to do before I have control over what some of them can really do, but I'm having fun nevertheless
