Hey this is my rig. I'll get another video up of me actually playing. At least you get a general idea of my stuff. Enjoy and excuse my clutter.
UPDATED TO HD FORMAT! ;D

Nice Happy, definitely cool to see the entirety of what equipment your working with!
I'll look forward to hearing what you can do with it!
Soundcloud coming tonight.
Sweet!
After reading your post suggesting everyone makes videos, i started an (audio) recording, but when I went to record leads, my mic started clipping. So I ended up ordering an SM57.
So thanks for the inspiration (but not the inspiring me to spend ;)).
EDIT: I FIXED THESE FILES TO BE ON BOTH CHANNELS, NOT JUST PANNED LEFT
Anyway here are the Soundcloud files:
This first link goes through all the pedals. I hope you like.

This is just me doing a little solo with the looper. Wah was on in the beginning but not on purpose, but it sounds ok.

Trim? There isn't a trim - my understanding of that type of distortion is actually the ribbon or whatever in the mic that picks up the sound waves - it is just too much pressure. The mic is designed for vocals, acoustics and far-micing
Great playing - especially on the second track!
I like the throatier wah more.
Was there a reason why you were panned left?
Sorry: trim on the recording device.
Uh oh panned left! Better fix that. Thanks!
Wow happy, that video was awesome. Everything u have just looks beautiful and that vid inspired the shit outta me for some reason ha. Im gonna start following you on soundcloud if you don't mind, i just created an account (SchreinTime) today.
Thanks Web! Get inspired! Do something fun!
Darn I need to go make those tracks balanced for your listening comfort. Didn't notice till it was too late.
You have some really nice gear... Very knowledgeable, as well. Basically everything you have is about 100 times nicer and cooler than mine (including your scalp)

;D Hey thanks man.
Did you study EE? Do you re-tube & re-bias on your own? I'm assuming so since you seem to be the "Man with the Golden Voltmeter" / "Have Soldering Iron, Will Travel"
I gotta come down to Akron ASAP
I took a basic EE class while getting my ME degree. But mostly learned on my own on the internet. Honeslty, that PCB wasn't as immensely difficult. I took the schematic from Whipple and just laid out the components with a free downloaded program from the PCB company. It's just like AutoCAD. Just lay out the components where you want them. Yes you need to be mindful of what does what, but I wasn't too bad.
Just get a soldering iron and poke around. Trial and error.
Yes you need to come on down bro!
You're talking to a guy with a BS in entrepreneurial finance/pre-med and a chem minor and a masters in anatomy... You're on a totally different level. I know how to dissect and play with biological circuitry, not how to dissect and play with machine/electrical circuitry (i'd end up electrocuting myself.. and YOU... which would suck for both of us)...
But I guess if you want to go "Breaking Bad" style, I'm your dude :)
OK the Soundcloud files are fixed. Both channels! (mono however)

Not to get off topic or anything, but entrepreneurial finance, pre med, chem, and anatomy? Daayumn sir! What kinda job do you have? I just finished up my BS Kinesiology in December. My friend has an EE degree and he was in the midst of building an envelope filter prototype a while back but pretty much stopped working on it. He had everything hooked up but it didn't work and he hasn't tried troubleshooting it yet...i need to get him on this board!
Go back to the video. NOW IN HD!

I'm a fry cook on Venus. Unemployed, duh, what else? Congrats on your degree - we speak the same language, my interest was in biomechanics/ortho/musculoskeletal anatomy. Got to do some awesome stuff. Shoot me an email.
Happy is the guy to talk to regarding the filter. My technical knowledge of pedalry is that I plug in, some magic happens, and I do my best to make some dope sounds. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Sweet!
So I ended up ordering an SM57.
I got one from work to record a rehearsal. Now all I need is to figure out the best way to get it into my Macbook.

I use an M-Audio Fast Track Ultra. Its okay. Its cheap and portable, takes 8 instruments if your computer can handle that.
