With my new band i'm getting the chance to be a little noisier, a bit more off the wall with my tones and writing so i decided to put together a new board.
I pit this together really cheaply and it sounds really good!
Om Overdrive - don't know what its based on, but it feels and sounds like an sd-1 type overdrive, but with more emphasis on the lower mids and more gain. I'm using it as a boost so its volume up, gain down, tone tweaked to suit.
Karmas Chorus / Vibrato - its subtle, but it'll do wavy, ambient wobbly stuff and its blue.
Samsara Delay - Lovely DL9 style delay but with the option of cleaning up the repeats. Great fun and easy to dial in.
I already had the Korg Pitch Black Custom, its a decent tuner although i'm still getting used to the display.
Its all mounted up on the Warwick Rockboard Jam, which doesn't feel as robust or chunky as the pedaltrains but for the money (£34!!) its decent! Its all powered by a Rockboard rechargeable PSU, so its deadly quiet. I put the whole thing together for under £250 quid, i'm quite pleased with the outcome. I'll be using it through my Peavey Prowler, drive channel set to low gain. I'm hoping it'll do everything i need, i've also left a spare 9v outlet for a Budda was should one come up at the right price!
