Yep, that was during the Time of My Life tour last year, backing Daryl Braithwaite, James Reyne, Joe Camilleri and Ross Wilson. It was a great tour, sold out all around the country, and a rockin' band with Brett Kingman (aka Burgerman) also on guitar.

Re: Time for another Show Your Pedal Board thread!

I have a pedal. It's only small but it's pretty sophisticated. I can step on it to make the noise and then step on it again to make the noise stop. I put a battery in it to make it go. It has some knobs ... three, i think. I'm not really sure what they do, but i twiddle them sometimes. It sort of changes the noise a bit. Sometimes when i move around on the stage, the pedal follows me. Sometimes it falls over.

But i can see that to keep up with all you guys, I'm going to have to screw my pedal onto the centre of an 8 foot x 4 foot plywood board. I'll paint half the board black and leave the other half raw wood. I think that should denote i'm semi-pro, or possibly a pro who's slumming it. But then again, people could think i'm an amateur whose trying to give the impression of being semi-pro or a pro who's slumming it.

Fukkit, I'll paint it red. That should avoid any confusion.

They never told me music would be so difficult when i was at the conservatorium.

Re: Time for another Show Your Pedal Board thread!

I just realised that my previous post might be a bit sparse on details, given the techincal nature of this forum. I'll try to fill in some of the gaps for you.

I went to a big music store in the city, and after spending a couple of hours in the drum section, someone pointed me towards the guitar section. After i'd told the chap at the counter the best way to clear up his acne, he asked me what I wanted, and I told him i'd been feeling some pressure to buy a guitar pedal. He asked me what type of pedal i wanted, so i asked him to show me the range of colours available. Some of the red ones were really lovely.

But i noticed that they all had different amounts of knobs, even the ones that were the same colour. Some had only one knob, some had two or three, and some had lots. Some even had little screens, but i figured i could just take my tv with me because it's screen is much bigger. I decided to get one with more than one knob, because otherwise later i might have to get another pedal if i needed another knob. But i didn't want too many knobs, because it could get confusing. So i figured two or three knobs would be okay, i could learn just one to start with, and then later i could learn another one if i got that advanced.

The music shop person asked if i wanted to hear the pedal, but i said "no thank you". I wanted a quiet one that didn't interfere with my sound. Then he asked me if i wanted a power supply, but i said no to that because my amp plugs straight into the wall. Then he said something about power for the pedal, so i told him i'd plug that straight into the wall too. So then he told me i'd need a battery, and he showed me a very clever secret compartment on the pedal where the battery goes. (later, at home, i had trouble getting the battery in there because of the cardboard and plastic parts of the battery, and i didn't want to break it). Eventually i got it in there, although the cardboard part got a bit bent up.

I learnt a lot that day. I don't think i'll go to a music store again though because it's just too confusing.

This is the board I use for studio work and my own instrumental material. If you haven't checked out Temple Audio boards before, they're worth a look.

Also, yes I'm an unapologetic Strymon fanboi.

FretFire, I've been drooling over Strymon stuff for entirely too long... are they worth the scratch?

For me they are, definitely. They give me a ton of options & flexibility in the studio and sound great to my ears. The MIDI controller makes everything easy to use live - I can hit one button to change presets across all 3 devices.

Here's the current layout although I'm thinking of taking off the wah and using it separately and adding my Soulbender and FL9

what is that 3 knob silver one at the top? Looks interesting

If you're talking about the one next to the El Capistan, it's a Klon Centaur.

It looks like a clone for sure, but it's not an actual Klon.

Re: Time for another Show Your Pedal Board thread!

My board hasn't changed in a while (just checked and it's three months to the day) as I've been allocating my funds towards other guitar related desires, noticeably a deposit on a custom guitar. However, I did order a Fulltone Clyde Deluxe yesterday. It's been on my list ever since they added the awesome switchable fuzz buffer about two years ago. I've used it with my board before and I was always impressed in ways that my RMC-3 could never touch.


Aside from that, I will be picking up a DMC-3 later this month to go under the Timmy and either a Supernatural or BlueSky for the top left spot. This board is awesome without them but it will be even more awesome with them.

Correct, it's a JuanSolo Klone. Now I don't know how close it sounds to an original although the builder says it's very very close but regardless it's an awesome pedal that I much prefer to the PoT as great as that is too!

This is my dedicated Marshall Booster Board. Its for use with my '78 JMP 2204. I hate to post it up yet, as its still missing a big RAT , but I couldn't resist;

Re: Time for another Show Your Pedal Board thread!

This is a controlled mess. It is tough gigging with the PT-Pro and keeping it neat.



This is a bit more controlled.
