Re: My new Pedalboard!
The KTR sounds amazing overdriven by the Simble. Endless sustain. Reminds me of Peter Green’s sound on Supernatural...the tune on John Mayal’s Hard Road album.
But I just put this together last night.
I’ll be experimenting with the order.
Those aren’t my usual settings either.
I was rocking it pretty hard last night...just seeing what it could do.

Re: My new Pedalboard!
The KTR has the option of being set for True Bypass or Buffered.
I have it set for buffered.
Should it be first or last in the chain of overdrive pedals?
I do like having the Simble in front of it.
The Route 808 is basically a Tubescreamer.
I don’t see myself stacking them too often.
My idea was simply to have my three favorite overdrive pedals all on one board and set them up for three different sounds.
Four if you include “clean”...which would be all of them, except for the delay, off.

Cool. It does sound good where it is.
The 808 sounds great by itself. Doesn’t sound so great using it to overdrive the Simble or KTR, but I never planned on using it that way, so no biggie.
The killer sounds resulting from the Simble overdriving the KTR are just a happy accident. Never planned on doing that. It’s too loud doing that, but it is a great sound.
Endless sustain is always fun.

IIRC the 808 has a well regarded buffer.

Route 808 has a great buffer. Not sure how it measures up to the Klon, but the Visual Sound/TrueTone buffer is the same one they sell as a standalone buffer for people who chose to go all true bypass.
I've found it more than sufficient fir my rig.

Re: My new Pedalboard!
I usually place it as one of the first ones. I like pushing my amp or other pedals with it.

Re: My new Pedalboard!
Thanks. I do have a larger board that I rarely use.
My brother Bruce owns Mission Amps and builds killer amps for blues guys and harmonica players all over the world.
He designed a new one called the Soulkicker 2020 and asked me to test it. It’s a single channel all tube amp with spring Reverb and a wonderful 6V6 sound that’s hard to describe. One Weber 12” Alnico speaker.
Sounds to me like some British amp I’ve never tried or heard of.
It doesnt sound like a Deluxe Reverb or Princeton Reverb. Sounds more like an AC30 but warmer and not so loud.
I put this little board together just to try it with my favorite overdrive pedals and it’s really great.
Including the amps own sound, I get four different and distinct sonic personalities out of it.
I do wish I had room for my Hall of Fame Reverb pedal.
Bruce’s new amp has Reverb...but most of my old Fender and Gibson amps do not.

Re: My new Pedalboard!
It's nice to see a smaller board for a change. I don't like using more than 4 or 5 at a time.

Re: My new Pedalboard!
Killer setup! I need to get a small, in line board like that.
Lew, do you run the 808 into the KTR ever? I really like my Green Rhino going into my Soul Food. If I run both of those into the Radial Plexitube on the Yellow channel with the drive all the way down, it's like magic. I've also recently taken to putting a Danelectro Fab Distortion with the drive off, tone fairly dark, and volume boosted in front of the Radial. That with either of the first two just sings.
I think I'm starting to have a bit of a problem.

Re: My new Pedalboard!
I took the 808 off and added the Hall of Fame Reverb.
So I have the Simble into the Klon into the Providence Delay into the Hall of Fame Reverb.
I get three killer soloing sounds: Simble, Klon, and Simble overdriving the Klon, which is really something to behold.
And when everything’s off I have my clean tones.
Been playing mostly through the pair of Gibson GA20’s.
The Hall of Fame has stereo out so I can plug into two amps.
