Spent last night looking at pedalboards on The Gear Page, my brain hurts....

Get the biggest one you can fit into your car, you will need the real estate, eventually. This one might be big enough, maybe!

'Grande' is right!

No, really, I can stop anytime I want...

Fulltone Full-drive 2

Lots of flexible and effective controls. Nice boost. Good sound.

+1 on the RC for clean boost. Very versatile booster.

My Sweetwater rep was telling me a story about a guy who had a custom pedal board built, wanted it 12 inches wide, but used the wrong punctuation and it came out as 12 feet. There is a picture of it somewhere, they even made a 12 foot case for it to fit in.

I use a Tube Screamer (TS-9) set for very, very light drive as a solo boost. The mid-boost of the TS-9 makes it cut a little bit extra, and the slight extra dirt is a gorgeous thing through a driving AC15 or my Hot Rod Deville 4x10. I think the Tube Screamer really shines as a solo boost/light drive.

I have a Tim Overdrive pedal that works very well.



The builder also offers the Timmy, a stripped down version of the Tim.

I was looking at the Tim, quite a backorder situation. I am leaning towards the Blackstone overdrive.

I use a Fulltone OCD v.1...
It has a Volume control, Gain control, and a switch that is attributed to tone (relating to pickup selection in your instrument). I have it plugged into the 18v input of my brick. that changes the sounds you can get out of the OCD as well....

I typically set it up with my Ric at full volumes, then back down the volume on my instrument to where it needs to be when playing rhythm.

I also have a TTE, and that combined with the OCD makes great sounds with all of the various instruments I play through it....

I have been using a Blackstone for a few months now. I love this pedal. Got rid of my TS, FT2, and Crunch Box. The Blackstone does it all and does it very, very well.
