• MultiComp is my always-on compression.
  
• Porkloin is a great subtle grind that's almost always on.
  
• Blender is almost never used for blending anymore, just as a TBP Loop to switch combinations of pedals on at once, so I may be replacing it with a single passive TBP loop pedal.
  
• Bass Octave Deluxe has a great octave tone and is great combined with a fuzz or Groove Regulator after it.
  
• Musket is my muff-ish fuzz.
  
• Mastotron is my synthy gated fuzz.
  
• Blowtorch is my synthy mid-boosted fuzz. Running it out of one of my BBESupaCharger's 16v outputs gave it a lot more dynamic response.
  
• Groove Regulator is my filter. Run alone for a clean filter tone. Run after the PorkLoin for a less subtle filter tone. Run after the Blowtorch with sweep switch down for a bit of a synthy touch.
  
• I just about never use the Memory Boy with my band so it's definitely getting bumped off once I get a chorus and MicroPog.
  
• I'm looking to add a MicroPOG to the board because I miss having the polyphonic octaving, but I don't care for the octave up.

I use the Gemini Drive and the SFT for distortion (duh). I originally got the SFT for a kind of "always on" low-gain distortion, and while it does this very well, I find that it is an extremely noisy pedal even at low gain settings. I'm not sure if it is going to stay for too much longer if it can't keep the noise down...or I'll just set it for ultra distortion and then the noise won't matter.

In between the two distortions (which may change places with each other depending on whether or not the SFT wants to behave) is my new EHX Ring Thing (not pictured). I just got this pedal and have only played with it a little bit, but I'm already thinking of a ton of uses for this thing! From ethereal tone-scapes to ridiculous pitch shifting. I can't wait to bring this thing to band practice tomorrow!


The swollen pickle is DOOM DOOM DOOM....obliteration. I think that I am going to add either a musket v2 or a pickle pie b sometime in the near future. I like that the MkII is super deep and bass-y, but its almost too subterranean, like its only really good for over the top obese ultra fuzz.

MXR Phase 90 with the EVH chip installed. I like this pedal, and I like it alot more than my guitard's stock Phase 90. I really want to try a whetstone or a small stone though...

I use the RV-3 in conjunction with my volume pedal for reverb filled volume swells and quite parts, where the bass needs to sit back in the mix. I only really use it on the upper strings of my 6er.

Boss DD-7. I have it set for quick, short delay with multiple repeats. I use it for tapping parts mainly, and texture-scapes with the Ring Thing. I also mainly got this delay over the Stereo Memory Man with Hazarai because I could make this one oscillate really easily and I like to do that when the muse descends......

Tuner = Self explanatory.

Out to Amp.

Updated with new pic! Boss FS-5U was already packed up when this shot was taken...
