    Where do you place your flanger?

    Hello all, I just got a Ibanez Mini Flanger and I currently have it in front of my amp. I'm wondering if it would be better in the effects loop like Chorus Delay and Reverb? I have a Boss ES8 so I can arrange my order anyway I want on any patch and can easily dip it into the effects loop...

    Ibanez Mini Pedals

    Hello everyone, Anyone rocking these little things? I'm thinking of trying them out. I'm a long time Boss Modulation pedal user and I also use a Boss ES-8 for switching 4CM.

    Mesa Boogie Theile vs Recko Cabs

    Hello all, I have a pair of Boogie 1 x 12 sealed back Theile Cab's. They sound amazing and I really like the low end response. They have the Black Shadow Speakers in them which are made for Boogie. Are the Recto Cab's any better? I think they use V30's right? How different is the V30 vs the...

    Bareface Audio cabinets

    Has Anyone try or own one? It seems like a very logical approach to building a cabinet. One thing I have always hated about cabinets or combos is the fact that if you move to a different spot the tone changes. Even if you move just a few feet either way the tone changes a lot. These new or at...

    Pedal board depth

    Hello all, Over the years I've been searching for the correct pedal board. Currently I have a Pedaltrain pro which is their largest board. I'm currently checking out Temple Audio and noticed something about most pedal boards I'm surprised hasn't been addressed unless I'm missing something...

    digital or analog EQ?

    With the new Boss EQ 200 series pedal coming out. Without actually trying it out what are your thoughts in general with eq pedals? Analog for a natural structure change in your overall tone keeping it in the analog world or going digital with all the flexibility and saved patches. Seems like a...

    Why are we obsessed with OD style pedals?

    It's funny I don't need a lot of pedals as I don't use that many different things. I like Chorus, Reverb and Delay and basically that's it. But OD style pedals I constantly look at like I'm searching for something I don't have. On my board I have 4 OD style pedals. I have OCD and a Waza Blues...

    Mini Pedals

    Ok , So the Carbon Copy Mini is coming. I never play through a Mini pedal of any kind. I always go for the full size mode as something tells me there is some give here and there for the compact size. Is this true or am I being an idiot? Other then the space savings on your board what is the...

    Mesa Boogie Head

    Hello all, Since the Mark V doesn't have Midi on it, how do you control it? Amp Gismo is the solution? The JP2C and the TC-50 both have Midi control which makes it easier for me as I use a ES-8 Boss Pedal switcher with Midi control. I like all 3 head a lot and don't really favor one or the...
