Sex-ay! Please give us a run-down on the less-common pieces here. Looks awesome!

The chorus is a DLS Ultra Chorus. It has been discontinued in its current incarnation, however, they are releasing an updated version sometime in the next few months. It is a two channel chorus with two different rate and depth settings that can be toggled. I only use one channel - the one with sweep control - for an amazing room filling chorus. Lush isn't the right word, maybe shimmering? (I'm really not good with descriptions) The blend control helps with bass and the ability to change the delay time is quite useful. I have it set at a fairly long delay time. In a band setting, I use this primarly on slow/ambient songs, and I get a pseudo fretless tone. Also, this thing sounds absolutly amazing with the Mammoth - some great synthy sounds from that combo.

The Shannon Phaser is a Phase 90 clone, with external depth and level controls, quality build for sure, bright white (blinding) LED. It has been discontinued, not too special, other than the custom housing with rear mount jacks (do we have a theme here?)

The VHT is a fairly new addition. My first gig with it is tonight so I will know for sure if it is a keeper or not. It is a vacuum tube input buffer and power supply. The effect of the buffer on the sound is subtle, but it does add some warmth. The power supply has four isolated outputs (think Voodoo pedal power) which is a plus. I was powering this setup with a onespot before, which worked okay but I did have issues with it at certain venues. Hopefully this will not have any problems.

As for the stuff on the finges, I have a ton of other great gear that isn't really suited for my current band, although I would never part with most of it. I have some of it set up in a rig to jam with but I am waiting for a few more components. If I ever get it complete (is that even possible?) then I will post it here. Until then...

This is a pretty damn good idea. Check out the new hawtness (and let the Big Muff jokes abound!):

Hmmm...I would have thought to put the Disco-Bob at the front of the chain not the end, but if it works for you...

Hawt gurlz rool!

The Deep Impact absolutely has to be 1st, and the Muff and Bass-Drive sound better driving D-Bob rather than vice-versa.

Nice set up! I would suggest reversing the order of the Little Big Muff and the Fulltone. I have both on my board and the Little Big Muff sounds fantastic when run after the Fulltone, set to a light overdrive. They make a sweet pairing that way.

what you got in the background there?

I'm not positive on all of these, as seen in the ones I cannot Identify, but everything I can I'm atleast 90% sure on-

(Background of first picture), Lovetone Meatball.

(Background on second picture, the one you quoted), No idea on the blue pedal, a Morley Wah of some kind, Digitech Bass Whammy, Zvex Woolly Mammoth, and a Moog pedal of some kind.

sweet. that's what i'm talking about. although you are bending the rule a little... you're supposed to have a board and fill any empty spaces with hawt gurlz, not make a board out of a hawt gurl and cover her with pedals. nevertheless, i like! :D

all things considered, i think this is going well so far!
