BTW,I can see Echopark in the corner,how is it?
It's freaking amazing. I think it's the best single stomp size delay out. The tap tempo is VERY easy, the mods are sweet, and reverse delay is awesome.

That would be the Rocktron Silver Dragon. It's a tube overdrive/fuzz. Channel one is called "Awake" and it's just tube distortion. If I hit the "Slayer" setting, it throws some solid state distortion on top of that therefore making it fuzz mayhem. Sounds amazing! I even roll off the "Roar" (bass) knob a bit because it's so bassy! I use the slayer setting with the treble cranked for some Cliff Burton type sounds, or with the treble rolled off a bit for some wall-of-sound Justin Chancellor sounds.
Great, great, i was scared by harmony central reviews. Many people were talking about volume boost and noise. But I see many people happy using it. Basicly I need more reverb then delay, but don't realy want to spend money on single reverb pedal, as I need it for a few tunes.

I think they're complaining about the volume jumps because they have the trails on. I have found that sometimes when the trail is on with the repeat knob really high it feedbacks, but that's to be expected.
I've finally done it. I've completed my rig(s). And it's all due to the PDDI. I love the thing. The OD is quite crunchy and the coloring when playing clean is excelent. In fact, as of these pics I have been experimenting with getting an "almost driven" sound.
Anyway as this is a thread for posting pics of pedelboards, here are mine:
Full Bass Rig
In this pic you should be able to see the settings I use on the PDDI to thicken up the tone of the Cliff Burton fuzz/wah thing I've got going on. Those settings add back the bass that's lost at the wah and enhance the fuzz a little bit more. It's still not quite as "dark" as the PDDI on it's own, though.
The order of effects is:
Main line = Boss NS-2 -> Boss TU-2 -> Invalid Link Removed
In NS-2 Loop = EHX English Muff'n -> [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]
Interestingly, the TU-2 -> PDDI is actually my mini/sub rig of the full one. I'm actually planing on putting the TU/PDDI on a separate board from the NS/EM/CFH.
Mini Bass Rig
As you can see from the settings I've gone for a boost in the lower-mid range, I've cut the treble, and I've left the bass where it is (cus there's no loss from other FX). In this pic I've got it set up for that "almost driven" tube sound. it's just a matter of finding the "sweet spot" for the drive knob. It's a really dark, heavy, growling tone. I might post clips later, when I get it perfect....
Another thing to note is that I have the blend knob at 50% for the full bass rig and at full when I use it alone.
Oh, and I love George L's!!! These things are so easy to assemble. Just cut the cord to length, shove it down the plug and screw on the end. Took me about 10 min to do the cords, and I was taking my time! Now all I have to do is get boards to put them on.

Take a looksie!
All the pedals in playing form:

Hardwired power strip and backside of input jack.

erm.. what is it? The Uber Pedal +10?
Petary, that's a pretty sweet board! I like the extra storage space for cables, and such.
Heck, you could probably add in a few dividers or soemthing, and stick extra strings, cables, maybe even a couple of effects that you don't use all that often.

It's a Rocktron Silver Dragon.
Yeah, I actually have all my cables and crap under it now. I think I just might make dividers and crap.
My complaint is that the thing is so heavy! I don't think it's abnormal though.

Sweet board dude!! Kind of reminds me of mine
Well the board design not the actual pedals. Does it have a lid?

not with that much wood..
Actually my Uber pedal +10 remark was to the other guy who was orgasming about guitarist's pedal.
Looks good!!
Hey Nitkin...why the cord in your Qtron effects loop? It doesn't look like it's connected to anything?Nitkin said:

Once I get my last component (a Mr Boggs Splitter/w blend knob). My pedal board will finally be complete....for now. I'll put pics up when I get the last piece on the board (should be about a week before I get it tho). I unfourtunatly cannot fit everything on the board and have the Wah, and a Boss FS-U5 footswitch that I set up next to the pedal board. Im excited that I am almost finally satisfied.....for now.
thought i may aswell show what i've got going at the moment, everythings in the looper except the discumbobulator and the american big muff. bloody cables are a mile longer than i thought they'd be but oh well eh.
