Orange Amps Forum

just added the mic-stand...pops a bit when I go crazy on the wah....but soundguys are overpaid and need too stay awake if you ask me.

Simple, just need to try and get it a little but cleaner!

Long time no see! I've been away from the gear buying/discussing scene for awhile because, to be honest, I haven't really needed anything. I did however just update my board with an Ernie Ball MVP volume pedal. I've been playing other genres lately and helping out in the worship band at church. Typically I can't stand worship music, but I still have a ridiculous amount of fun getting up there and playing music with friends. I've never gotten so many compliments on tone after a gig; the sound guy gave me a flat EQ and people just seemed to love it. I used the clean channel on the TH30 with a tubescreamer for a little drive when needed and worked the volume knob on the guitar for swells and tonal changes. By the end of the set the knob was falling off my guitar, so I figured a volume pedal was in order for next time

I went with the Ernie Ball MVP because I really wanted a buffer to avoid tone suck, and also to have the option of putting it anywhere in the chain with active or passive pickups. Not only did it not cause tone suck, I've noticed the highs are clearer than before. Everything just sounds so bright and clear, but natural. I'm extremely impressed with it. The sweep is broad and controlled, and you can go from 0 to full or up to 50% to full by adjusting the volume knob. The gain knob works great too if you want to add boost. I've just been using it like a volume knob (placed before dirt, 0 to full sweep).

Anyway, here's my current board. I rigged up a little cable harness for the input to the Crying Tone. That combined with stiff Monster patch cables and the wrap of electrical tape keep it nice and secure! It never runs away on me now.

Here's my nice and simple Pedalboard.

Here's my Board for the two-piece where I play bass+guitar and sing. Lots of Octave and Fuzz going on + the m9 for delay, reverb ...



And the setup for the bluessession where I play Lapsteel:



cheers

Here's mine , featuring the new ZENDRIVE ...that makes me thinking of J BONAMASSA' sound....good stuff

Yes, it's difficult to move around, but I use every single pedal.
Im waiting to get a new Real McCoy Wah, and possibly a Barber Barb EQ pedal. Hopefully before to long.

Hey, nice pedalboard! How's the Hog2? Besides playing guitar, I am crazy about synthesisers. I was thinking about getting one to couple it with a couple of Moogerfoogers I have.

I had the Hog2 for a bit. Sold my POG2 for it. Definitely more versatile with lots of great features. I ended up going back to the POG2 though because for guitar playing, the POG2 tracked better, and the bypass on the HOG2 wasn't as good. However, if I really needed the functionality the hog offers I'd go back to it.

Here is mine !


That seems a lot but I play in a progressive band, I need all this pedals

I had a board built to match my Orange amp and cab! Still not done loading up my pedals.

A small update:

Latest addition is the Mobius and the Favorite Switch. The amp footswitches are not on the board in case i only take the board or switch amps...
