I think the old TV was the coolest.

I'd have to say that with a Rickenbacker 12 string, it's the Janglebox.
Other than that, what's on my pedalboard is: Fender PT100 tuner>Vox V848 wah>Pro Co Rat (ver. 2)>BYOC tremolo>BYOC phaser>DOD stereo chorus>Ibanez ADL analog delay. That's what I use when I want to mess with pedals. Most of the time I just plug into a Pod XT Live for the sake of convenience.

I love the Dano minis. Right now, I'm using my Surf & Turf Compressor as a solo boost. And every now & then I pull out a PB&J Delay or my Tuna Melt Tremolo, to add a little flavor.

Most of the time I plug straight in to my Princeton Reverb amp, but occasionally I will use:

Digitech Hardwire SC-2 Valve Distortion, Voodoo Labs Tremolo, Aphex Punch Factory.

I have a Boss BF-2 flanger that I rather like.

The Yardbox.

I got one of these for Christmas, and I think this sounds good on "Over Under Sideways Down", "Mr. You're A Better Man Than I" (both by the Yardbirds), etc., as well as The Hollies' "Then The Heartaches Begin", as examples. This gets lots of different sounds.
It's $175 at Musictoyz.com. True Bypass.
Here's a clip: (It normally sounds better than this, but this is the only sound clip online!)

Van Amps Sole Mate Spring Reverb
Danelectro Daddy-O Distortion
Ibanez Tube Screamer
Boss DD5 Digital Delay
Ibanez Analog Rotary Chorus
Oops, forgot; the Bigsby, Accent, and Fender "Tremolo" vibrato units on my assorted guitars, if those count

Pedalboard:

The shrink wrap was for securing the pedals "just in case" for the band's Chicago trip last June.

None. I don't use them as a rule. I let my guitar, amp and fingers express the sound that I get 99.99% of the time.

[lennon211]

Vox Tonebender
Danelectro Reel Echo
Fender '63 Reverb


That's it. Normally I don't use pedals. Sometimes the Tonebender will be switched with a Maestro Fuzztone.

That's interesting, I never figured you as a flang kinda guy.

Pretty much feel the same, Brian. Get loaded down with a slew of effects and you have to wonder if under all of that if there is a guitar in there somewhere.

I bought it years ago just to see if I could get a spacy effect by plugging a mic into it, and micking my banjo. I liked it, but the rest of the band didn't. I got the idea from bluegrass banjo picker Pete Wernick.

I've often wondered what Eight Miles High would sound like if there were a little flanging on the 12 string guitar.

I have a JangleBox, haven't had a chance to use it, yet. I'd like to experiment with a delay (either digital or analog), because I like rockabilly. And just to see whether or not I like it, try out a stereo chorus. As far as overdrive, I think I'd be in favor of letting the amp do that for me rather than an outboard pedal.

Marshall "Jackhammer" and "Edward The Compressor" are flapping my pants' legs these days.



But the DanEcho and my Vox Union Jack Wah are tops too. Throw on a few other classics for seasoning and I'm a happy camper. But I take no credit, as my good friend whojamfan put this board together for me. Thanks, Mike.

I pretty much play the Rick straight...sometimes with a little phase-shift, delay or tremolo...but I like (on occasion) to put the Fender P through a Cry Baby...it's real 'Wetton-y'...
