Waiting on an Iron Ether Nimbus and Pigtronix Mothership ...

sweet board as always! gotta let us know how that mothership sounds....been curious about that funky looking thing.

I'll (finally) post my newly updated board later today after work,sleep and another H.O.G. video I've been meaning to do...:bassist:
 
really nice boards going on here.

Yeah Rawr... I go back and forth about the Mothership... big, but oh the control features!!

jwr: you are an inspiration! (I still wish I could buy your other Megalith. So sad being broke with such an expensive hobby...)

Bye bye Ghost Disaster!

Its not gone yet. Its like the B/S/T gods are telling me keep the Ghost Disaster, sell the timeline.

I'll let you guys know how the Mothership works out. I have gone back and forth on wanting one for a while. Finally one popped up that I just couldn't refuse taking a chance on it.

Some quality dirt right there. Add a BDPG and a Elements just to top it off?

A BDPG (maybe to replace the Rusty Box. Thoughts?) and DD for sure. Ryan sells top-notch dirt!. Not sure how I feel about The Elements yet. In all the demos I've heard so far it seemed like it was more fuzzy wuzzy than nitty gritty at higher gain, and if I was going for that I'd get another fuzz (TAFM). Am I gravely mistaken?

I recently replaced my Rusty with the BDPG. It's great and really adds a lot of low/mid character to my other pedals. I love the BDPG at the end of my chain, and it will stay there. But don't get rid of the Rusty, its one of a kind and as soon as I can I'm ordering another, they are very different but both very awesome
 
Love this set up. We have very similar taste in pedals! I either have, have had or would buy again almost all of these!

I love it too! And I'm glad someone shares in my affinity for these babies. The majority of my pedals (all except the Rat Tail) have been on the board for like 6 months or more.

That pic is clean, so are your pedals. What kind of camera/app did you use?

Hey man, I am a photographer and I used my Nikon D7000 DSLR with my new 50mm lens to capture this photo.

Most of the demos I've seen have been concentrated on the higher gain section. I'm not sure why... It's does slight overdrive very well IMO. I have the TAFM and the Elements and to me, they aren't the same.

EDIT: I mis-read what you were asking. I wouldn't consider it fuzzy at higher gain. More along the lines of distortion then fuzz. It's got a really wide range of sounds though, from a clean boost to nasty.

...but I'm one of those silly ones using the RB as a tone-shaping pre rather than for dirt. Keep the RB in any case, unless you absolutely do NOT like it.

I use it as a tone shaper too.
 
Ah looks like we have the same setting on the Flashback Jared, really like the Flashback for actually delay tones and sounds, but for me, the looping is just blah. Nice board too, we have 4 pedals in common.

Thanks.

It's funny, I've been trying to sell the Empress Trem and Morpheus Bomber and they haven't gotten much interest so I just wired them up last night and now I think I'll keep this setup.

As for the Flashback I wish it had true tap tempo and the looper is limited but the reality is that I'm glad I didn't pull the trigger on a Timeline since my actual delay needs are pretty meager. Since I'm sticking to a PT-2 it fills a need for me.

And we actually have 5 pedals in common since I own an Oxide too. I started jamming with some guys doing a hard rock thing and it's the only pedal I take with me.
