I've used both a Radial Big Shot ABY and a Boss LS-2. I prefer the Radial for long term split rig purposes, as it's passive and have polarity flip and ground lift on it. The Boss works well in a pinch, isn't expensive and works as a great blend or fx loop pedal if you ever replace it for the signal split purpose.

+1 on the Radial.
On the topic of heavy amps: The 2-pro + plywood case is just over 100lbs. I can bearhug it and carry it up high without much trouble but that poopie ain't going to fly once there's snow and ice on the ground. I'm looking for a good collapsible handtruck/cart that won't instantly rust. Some good options out there, but a lot of them are expensive. Might end up with something from Harbor Freight.

I'm currently using the Radial on one of my boards and it works really well and doesn't suck tone. Have a Loopmasters ABY with a tuner out for my other board which is also nice
Acquired these in trade for the peavey musician head.
Boss has an old price tag of $239.99 crazy.
Need to see what this things about.
Just got asked to open for Skull (members of pentagram and trouble). Feeling stoked! Sorry I was a whiny bitch earlier.
You know you got a cool boss when she calls you in her office to have a cup of kava with her!
Just stripped down the board. Got rid of my flange and OD loop pedals, gonna try the flange on the guitar rig. It also opens up more space for more dirt! Blower Box is going back on the board! Aww yeah!
That is kickass! Man, I would love to meet any of the guys from Pentagram.
Anyone here dig old St. Vitus?
That's cool. One of the last gigs I played was a Neil Young tribute show. Had a friend who put on different tributes and would tap local guys to be in the pickup band. I did a few with him including Prince and Tom Petty.
But on this Neil gig, we covered the entire "Tonight's The Night" album along with other tracks from his career. Show came off well.
The only problem was, when it was advertised in the local music happenings rag, they didn't put Neil Young Tribute Band live at The Deli--they just put Neil Young--Live at The Deli.
It resulted in a huge crowd with many quite disappointed audience members. But I think we pulled it off okay. People had a good time.
My wife was pregnant with my second daughter at the time and she said the baby was absolutely turning flips in her belly while we played.
Removed the Pharaoh from the guitar board and put it back on the bass board instead of the GK Rails Pedal. Both such great flavors of dirt! Gonna try the Pharaoh out some more. Can never decide which one I like better for the long haul.
Removing the Pharaoh does free up a space and a need for fuzz on the guitar board now. Any suggestions for Joyo American fuzz settings? I like the vintage style sounds, nothing too crazy. Think Grand Magus or The Sword. Now, back to grooving!

Is it one of the OG Blower Boxes w/light up eyes and vol. knob on top by input/output jacks?
So my resume is refinished once again and I'm out looking.
For some reason I am cool as a cucumber in pretty much any situation. This is probably the worst situation for me in terms of what I guess you would call anxiety. Anytime I am looking to do something new I get super freaked out and feel like I am completely incompetent.
Anyone else get that?
I absolutely hate it and wish I knew how to get over it. Every year of school from kinder on, every job applied and worked for I have assumed I would totally bomb. So now I'm at that point again.
It's really bad though because it's a first real job, and I feel like I'm not qualified to do anything and I'll spiral down from here.
Maybe I need some kava... Sorry to rant, I normally don't feel this way and it's terrible when I do.
