So I have had some changes....and my most recent change is not pictured here:
(https://p.twimg.com/AoEK18WCMAAeTOv.jpg)
AO custom guitar-->The Wheel-->Korg Pitchblack-->GCB95 Crybaby wah-->Cmatmods Signa Drive-->Ross Clone-->Emma Discombobulator Envelope filter-->BBE Soul Vibe-->Diamond Tremolo-->TC Flashback delay-->Deluxer Reverb RI
The AO has a koa top, wenge back and alder in the middle. It also has the Jerry style OBEL, which is what the wheel is for. It routes my effects board in a loop and back into the guitar...it's completely fucking badass, and highly recommended.
As a side note, if anyone is looking for a serious, versatile trem, I highly recommend the Diamond Tremolo, the very last word in trem effects, imho.
The part of my rig that I just recently reacquired is a 1972 Twin Reverb, not in my possession yet, but picking it up on Thursday. Which is the bomb, as my band, Disco Rockin Llamas just got back together and our first show back is Saturday.
Very nice! Whats the wheel?
That guitar is badass. such a sweet rig

Very nice! Whats the wheel?
AO can explain this a whole lot better than I, but essentially it's a routing switch. You can see two cables coming out of my guitar, one stereo, one mono, wrapped up as one. The other end of this dual cable is plugged into the wheel. On the other side of the wheel is a send and return, so it looks like: Guitar-->The Wheel-->effects send-->effects return--> back through the stereo cable to the guitar. Now from here, we have a buffer in the guitar and then that signal goes out the mono cable. That mono cable goes into the wheel and then there is a cable going back out to the amp.
Reading, I realize that I have probably just confused everybody including myself. Again, Andrew would explain this a whole lot better.
But some more info: The volume and tone controls on my guitar are post effects. There is a mini toggle that can turn the effects loop on/off, when off it is just my straight signal from guitar to amp. One more thing about the wheel, it has a switch on it, for standard or OBEL. This allows me to use a standard mono guitar cable with my guitar, or another guitar as I normally would without having to bypass the wheel.

Thanks man, I dig it pretty good.
Awesome! I love my DRRI too and I want to get a bigger amp like a Pro Reverb or Vibrolux for bigger venues. What type of pedalboard are you using? I have a similar setup and I want to get off the DIY thing I made.

That's exactly what I just did! I have my DRRI and I got a '72 twin reverb, all the clean headroom a fella would require. I'm using a pedal train 2 for my board, they are just super versatile if you are like me and you switch stuff around a lot. Plus you can hide all your cabling and power supply. I know there are lots of awesome pedal boards out there, but I really like pedaltrain. You can get soft or hard cases too, and they are quality.
The Wheel - I have been noodling on a similar idea for an OBEL. When I build my guitar, it will have one.

Looks very clean, my DIY setup is tidy and was built after a pedaltrain but I'd like to add some space for a tuner or something. Do you recommend the soft or hard case?

Depends how much travelling your board does, I am currently doing a rehearsal a week with 1-2 shows per month, so for me the board is ideal. If I were on the road all the time playing a lot of shows, I would invest in a case. It's a sturdy soft case, with a shoulder strap, so it sure makes load in and out easier that way. But some people need a hard case, and it's a dandy hard case as well.
you should shoot that tuner with a pistol and throw it off a bridge taped to a brick.
cool guitar dude!
Ha! thanks dude, I take it that you are not a fan of the pitchblack? Pourquoi?

IMHO I thought it was a bit hard to read in daylight. I wouldn't use it for intonation but for gigging uses it served me just fine. Space was an issue so I just switched to a TC polytune Mini.

I didn't even know those existed until this moment, very cool.
tc products are still kinda mickey mouse. I do use one, but I dont wear the fucking t shirt around you know. Too bad I dont have a huge rack and a momo to haul it anymore, that korg rack was my favorite.

What TC product are you using?
How are TC considered mickey mouse? The only downside to their products is that they're made overseas IMHO. The Repeater rules, the Flashback has a ton of great features. The polytune was/is revolutionary and accurate.
I have mixed feelings about TC.
The SCF does a nice chorus, very subtle if you want it to be, which is perfect for creating a stereo image without the loss of articulation or clarity that occurs with some modulation pedals (IIRC it was a bit scooped). The Flange and PM were not worth using.
The Flashback was decent, lots of options in a small pedal, but Strum tempo is nearly pointless, the looper was not really useful, the Tape Echo preset was too bright and overdriven (the Matt Beck toneprint was a bit better) and the when using it stereo, it was pretty common for people to experience one side cutting out - which happened to me and while Tore is fairly active and responsive to the Gear Page, my experience with their customer service was terrible; 2 weeks between email replies (so that is probably a month and a half to explain my problem), then they said they couldn't help me, I needed to explain the situation to the American customer service branch (which I should have been directed to immediately). Once that rep had the American CS email me, all they asked for was my credit card number and gave no reason for needing it - I assume they wanted me to pay for repairs - I sent one last, pissed off, email from which asking why exactly they needed the credit card number and how much they even planed on charging me for whatever they planned on charging me - I got no reply, then sold the pedal (stating the issue with stereo, I had also confirmed it was pretty common across their Toneprint pedals and doesn't seem it was a faulty pedal, but a manufacturing issue of some sort, the buyer said he didn't care as he would only use in mono, which worked perfectly well).
I would be weary of buying from TC again and would only consider it if they offered a pedal that actually did something the way I wanted it to and markedly better than competitors.
Sorry to hear about your Flashback woes Heady, my main problem with the pedal was the lack of a TT option, I guess it works for bands who only use one tempo through a song or solo but for jamming purposes it didn't work out so hot. I tried to like it for awhile but I went back to the Repeater - versatile delay and affordable too. I want to try a El Cap or a MLjr if I get the chance too though.
I never tried the Stereo outs on it much but that's interesting that it cut out for you. Did you run a Stereo in by chance? I don't know much about delays but it sound like the mono->stereo converter inside the pedal could be wacky.
The two TC products on my board work fine for my application - the Polytune is pretty easy to read and accurate.

Yea, I was using it until recently when I switched to the El Cap, always in stereo with stereo inputs as well (Modfactor>Flashback>RV7). I found the tap tempo less necessary when using the dual delay setting in stereo as it had a more ambient, less rhythmic effect. I am not a huge delay geek honestly, but I will say that I had a lot of fun when I got the El Cap using the TT, kinda inspired me to step outta my style a bit or to take a new approach. It is really easy to just give it two taps right before a solo (I've kinda been liking tapping at half of the songs tempo). The El Cap seems like a lot of delay mojo for a non delay geek, but nothing else I have tried matches that half between analog and tape echo that has TT, ability for expression control over delay level and spill-over (or whatever it is called when the delay continues despite the unit being disengaged). FWIW I haven't tried it in stereo, but when I record I intend to put it in my mixer's loop in stereo rather than in my amp loop in mono.
Not sure where you reside, but if your in PGH, feel free to drop by and give it a test drive. The only issues I have had with the El Cap is the manual is missing some directions and I was getting some strange harmonics in some settings, but adjusting the repeats and the tape bias resolved that (I thought it was ghost notes on my amp, but I think it was the way notes were washing over other notes, which I never experienced with a delay before). Aside from that, it is worth the price IMO as long as you can afford a wall-wart (which might be more valuable than money in some rigs ;) ).

hold the button down, and wait for the chirping. but yeah they have lots of issues, some just stop working, but really my issues are with the bypass button. I asked about it at Pro Guitar Shop, and they said the issue was fixed on all the newer tc stuff.

Heady - Thanks for the offer but I am up in NH! That's odd that the El Cap gave you weird feedback. Does it loop at all?
It has a sound on sound option, it wasn't feedback, just some real dissonant harmonics, only above the 12th fret on the higher pitch strings. I am not noticing it now that I made some minor adjustments. It has a sound on sound option which is kinda like a basic loop I guess, but I never really messed with it to be honest.
The Way Huge Supa Puss looks it could give the El Cap a run for the money though honestly. I just couldn't wait that long for a delay that fits my needs.

Nonetheless, it seems like a neat option but I might just spring for a small looper to practice with. Haven't really looked at the Supa-Puss though, when will it be released though as it seems worth a tryout.
Had a drive pedal change, so I thought I would post an updated pic:

Nice! Dig the organization, I see the J-drive has been pretty consistent on your board - what do you like about it? I've never tried one.
Interesting comments about TC..
I have the Nova Repeater, Delay and Reverb... its like I have rack quality gear on the floor...
Great sounding champs, every one.
I never played with the Toneprint series though.

I owned the Flashback for awhile and it had great sounding delays in a small package, I found the tap tempo to be a dealbreaker for me and sprang for a dedicated looper and haven't looked back.
Forbin,
Whats the deal with the wah your using? How's its sound?
Thats a CAE wah, never used one, heard great things.
For TC, not a big fan here, thought the flashback was cheap and gimmicky, but never had the repeater, suspect it is better though. Thought about trying the repeater and other products of theirs but they lacked a few functions I cared about. They had a few products I really liked, but they aren't in production anymore. Company has potential, but I wouldn't buy from them again after the customer service with the issues I had with the flashback, but I am sure their stuff can do what others need/want.
I saw I was talking about issues with the El Cap above, and I haven't been having problems any more after some adjustments. They customer service is great BTW. Not 100% sure what fixed the issue, but some factors were delay mix and the amount of modulation creating very unmusical intervals, beyond what you would expect from tape modulation. Anyway, all peachy keen with the El Cap now, lovin' it - very 'background' repeats the way I have it set, gets me a Gilmour meets Trey kind thing, though not always far from the delay in Reba, but he is getting a better stereo image in the delay than I can muster from the El Cap, probably more post-processing than the effect itself.
I know nothing about the J Drive, but interesting rig. I like it. I wouldn't pick it out as a jammy rig at first, which is interesting/cool. Gotta see if you have any sound clips posted ;)
Thanks dudes.
The CAE wah is a great sounding wah. It has two inductors in it, which are switchable via a button on the right side of the wah. There is another button on the left that allows you to turn on a boost, which has an external knob for boost level. I really like it, sounds great and is well made. I could tell a huge difference when I switched from the crybaby.
The J-Drive is a dandy od pedal. Basically, I like having my overdrive set and have a some extra grit available for soloing. So, the key to that is the boost, which will drive the overdrive a little harder when on. It can also be used for a clean boost if the drive side is not engaged. It's very versatile, the warmth knob can get very smooth overdrive tones, to down right slutty rock tone, it's great. Those guys are close by too, which is cool for me. Halifax, NS is about a 3.5 hour drive from where I'm at. They are super helpful and always take my calls. Top notch dudes making top notch pedals. I'm a huge fan of that Diamond Trem as well, it's awesome.
I'll have to get on the sound clips, any suggestions or is sound cloud just as good as any?
Soundcloud is good. If you can record in stereo, it will accept that too. I've got good recording on there and so do many of these guys.
So what is the difference in inductors on that wah? I've never been able to A/B inductors on the spot.

I personally like to use Soundcloud, really easy to record straight onto my Iphone and upload for rough ideas.
Soundcloud seems to be the industry standard, so to speak. No complaints about it here.

Totally dig the strobe, brings me band to my HS jazz band daze
that polytune mini is a junk toy eric. the second edition polytune 2 is available for preorder now, and supposedly corrected some of the many issues with those things. ive spent a great deal of time with the pro guitar shop crew lately, and there is no doubt in my mind some of those tc pedals from 2 years ago should not be relied on. lots of QC issues in asia.
if you guys want to buy chinese made toys, you can buy them directly from the factories at aliexpress.com
they even the famed echoplex preamp booster, the bb booster, etc is on there for 20 something dollars.
now mind you, my advice is always for people to seek out equipment that could work on a tour, without a tech holding your weary paw, and really a garage band, 3 shows a year situation is not of my concern. one of my favorite people on earth, Steve Selvidge (amazing player) has a whole house full of old junkie pedals, and its totally cool for that. Same with Luther Dickinson.
Buying into marketing is fun. Hell buying affordable gadgets that seem to work and get loud is fun. Buying old shit and fixing it can be fun too! But guess what? There are probably far fewer 'great' guitar players in this country than you think, and of those even fewer have decent tone or a real practical understanding of gear, as they are fucking broke asses, or not, and complacent now that they are finally making money. Id pin the number at around 40-50 people nationally. And each one of them has a different opinion...
Bottom line, is peace and love everybody, but, I will still laugh in your face if you gig out with a PCB amp, or buy mini pedals that arent point to point. Why? Because Ive actually had shit like that break on me before in front of a hall of people, and laughing is about all you can do.
I haven't even plugged that fucker in and now I feel bad about my decision. :P It's cool, I'll have to see how I like it. I'm practicing for my next garage gig in 9 months from now.
Thanks for dropping by dude.
No worries. And I wasnt jabbing at you broseph. Like I said, there about 40-50 players in this entire country that are chasing that dragon.
Way back when I thought it mattered, this forum was about being the absolute best you can be, in regards to equipment. Some people take it literally, with the Trey rig deprogramming; I took it more reading between the lines, climbing toward a state of nirvana or something, and never found it -- as each rig is completely different.
Now when I pop in a couple times a year its really sad to see many of my opinions regurgitated by people that led the witch hunt, now actually agreeing with me, verbatim. (recommending the tone tubby in a pcb fender amp, huh walker) Take a long hard look at why you love playing music. Is it because its a great hobby? Is it because you have always been the best player in your neighborhood growing up? Gettin' Pussy? Or have you convinced yourself its something greater?
It still amazing to me, that I can go out, and see a band that has some killer players in it (Robert Walters 20th for example) and their guitar player blows. How you can sit around fucking with gear for endless hours and not just be horrified by some turd sandwich just slapping down a blues driver and calling it a lazy day. Fuck that shit. The information is out there. Ive seen some pedal boards over the last year that literally made my skin crawl -- a danelectro mini blt and your playing the rose garden? Go fuck your mother.
Anyway, best of luck gang. Miss some of your much less than the others that I dont miss at all. Kidding! Go get um guys!

Oh man, I just laughed.
It used to be about the pussy. Now it's about the higher level of vibes and transporting my audience. I actually had the coolest yoga, hippie crowd at my gig last month. It's was a great ordeal.
just for reference im using a hand wired 50 watt 6l6 dumble / tweedish type amp my friend made, with an 'open' backed 1x12 mojo tone cabinet (yup I went open back after changing to this most recent amp! and old nod to AO's criticism). Guitar is an handmade languedoc style archtop guitar with ebony top, koa sides, koa back. Schaller golden 50 in the neck, unpotted 59' in the bridge, hipshot tuners, huge tone cap, super pots. Backup is a home made thinline tele with bucket head button, with very unusual coil/phase tapped fender wide range buckers (we had to take them apart), with it wired wide open vol/vol. Using far fewer pedals, as Im in the studio 100 percent now, but that will change in about 3 months when I actually get to do something.
The newest dumbest (expensive) coolest thing Ive found lately is these power cleansing toys. It runs about 8 million dollars for basically what amounts to a power strip with this big ugly adapter that goes into the wall. My last mini transformer gadget had been made for computer applications, and worked pretty ok, but it would not filter out some slight interference, on random occasion. Once I get more hours on this new thing, Ill report back with a link, but I dont want everybody running out and charging up a card for something that breaks.
--- huah! cheers
