Here is my current setup, with a few more on the way in the mail. Like everyone else said, TS-9 is a good pedal but getting it modded will make a huge difference. That ready one on the right is the Whammy, which is a pitch shifter/harmonizer. That’s real key to my setup. That Giga Delay is probably the best pedal that I have at the moment. I highly recommend that one if you’re looking to spend about 170 on a good delay. The one on the left of the board is a Mutron-III, used by Jerry to make the wah wah’s on Shakedown and Estimated Prophet. Everything I’ve got there is a great pedal, and if I didn’t recommend it, it wouldn’t be on that board.

The two green ones on the left by HomeBrew Electronics. The dark green one is a compressor/sustainer and the light green is PowerScreamer/overdrive. I also have TS-9 that’s not in the pic. The middle one is a Dunlop Wah and the far right is a Q-Tron enevelope filter. I think Mutron somehow became Q-Tron along the way, but I could be wrong.

#13

so far this is giving me some good ideas. i’ll prob get a couple of things when i get back from minneapolis. where should i start? the screamer? also, do you guys all use pedal boards for your power linking? what is a good board?

#14

go with a pedal board… saves the money for the constant replacement of 9volts (always unplug your pedals if you use 9vs)

as for good boards, i too am in search of one so if anyone has input on this feel free to elaborate

#15

Stay away from the boomerang. NOISE!!!

#16

what are these pedal boards everyone speaks of?

#17

^I like loopers. I’ve had the boomerang in my setup for a couple years now but its started to phase its way out. I’m working on either getting or modding all of my pedals to be true bypass so that I don’t get any noise. Simply having the Boomerang plugged in gives a lot of hiss to your sound if you really listen.

#18

what is the boss looper that guitar player mag rate as the best looper out there?

#19

I think its called the Loop Station.

#20

yeah, one of the loop stations. They have a nice selection of them now. the huge one, the double-sized, and the single tiny thing.

#21

and the price tag?

#22

i’ve decided that i’ll prob start with teh ts-9, a boss tuner, and the giga delay. this should get me started. then i’ll prob check out that digitech whammy. question, what does and envelope filter do?

#23

it’s like an auto wah pedal. depending on how hard you strum or pick, the wah effect will be sharper. it’s used primarily for chording.

#24

damn icc. that thing looks so bad ass

#25

good choice with the giga delay. Middle ground of features and price, and loops are SO fun to play with.

#26

Think about the wah’s on Shakedown Street.

#27

If your gonna get real anal about tone, I suggest get a rack eq/compressor/envelope. They can really clean up a big mess of effects into a nice even sound. And the reason I say a rack one is because I find stompbox eq/compressor/envelope sound way too processed. Unless thats what your going for.

#28

i got the ts9 and the boss chromatic tuner today. was going to get the giga delay, but didn’t realize that sucker is like $250. it’ll have to wait a week or so.

#29

yeah, they are sort of expensive.

I might be getting one of the boss Loop Stations, but the smaller two-pedal model. Used, don’t know how much yet.
