Johnny A's pedalboard (mine, too!)




If facebook is blocked where you're seeing this, it won't appear....

My main pedalboard, used at rehearsal and most of the live shows:



I also have some things at home that I put on small board for practice/making the neighbors upset



As you might notice, I couldn´t keep the Oranges away from the pictures...

^tell me about that Tym tone boost. looks really cool. and awesome board, by the way

http://www.tymguitars.com.au/collection ... tone-boost

The Tym Tone Boost comes from Tym Guitars in Brisbane, Australia. He makes it in two different sizes; the small one like mine (and in the link above) and a larger one in an enclosure similar to his other effects (like the Big Mudd on my board). That said, reading that link I'm not sure if he's making them anymore. He is a one man operation and his stuff is in very high demand which regularly outstrips his supply.

I use it as a boost, usually with the freq switch off. Despite the description in the link, I'm not really sure technically how the thing works other than to say the freq switch seems to add a thickness or more low end to the signal. It depends where the tone knob is. With the freq off, the boost gives a clear sort of... boost to your signal , which despite the description of the pedal not having any gain in it, certainly pushes my Orange into a great overdrive. But the real clincher for me is when I roll my vol knob off a bit, in a similar fashion to decent germanium fuzz face, the signal cleans up to a sparkling, trebley sort of tone (rightly or wrongly, I keep thinking "Fendery"). I find this an absolute asset with my Orange which we all know can be a little dark. It really takes it somewhere my other pedals don't. Volume full up, the boost is more transparent than the tubescreamer or the OD-1, but its still "drives" the signal.

Thanks for the compliment. I've only just had the CE-2 repaired (full re-cap) and I'm loving it. The TS808 only snuck on there when my old MXR D+ died. Its getting fixed as we speak and I'm not sure where I'm going to fit it when it gets back. I probably don't need the OD-1 AND the tubescreamer on there, but the both sound so good.

Latest update

This is what I´m working with. Pedaltrain Nano with T-rex fueltank junior underneath.

I am into dirt and distortion/fuzz mainly for my heavy downtuned rock music, but if I change anything it would be doing a keeley mod to my ratII, or replacing the ratII for a delay if I get into delay.

pedals:

proco ratII distortion
black arts toneworks pharaoh fuzz
jerry cantrell wah
decimator g string noisgate
tc electronic polytune full size
amp controller: channel changer, reverb, and attenuator which works as volume boost

im going to break in to your house, steal your pharaoh and your cantrell wah, and replace the grip pad on the wah immediately. just warning you.

the board by LK_335, on Flickr

latest creation once we finished recording. signal chain:
volume -> RC -> Compressor -> Hot Cake -> Emma -> Nova Drive -> Gate -> POG2 -> Phaser -> Diamond Trem -> Malekko 616 -> BB Preamp MB -> Dr. Sci Trem -> Time Machine -> M9 -> DL4 -> Ad999 -> amp of somekind

right!?!? thanks

the latest incarnation. i love it so far.



all going straight into the Rocker 30 run almost exclusively on the natural channel.

that pedal board above is awesome, congrats! so much to dig. I like the black arts, strymon, and distorton best
