Too much stuff and an utter shambles. But it seems to be working quite well.
Might take some pics over the weekend.

We shall tackle it together with the valuable assistance alcohol provides. Oh yes, we shall. Beers/wine/both+more!! I was going to suggest us both trying to put our midi things together in your man-cave, however after some thought into the innuendo-like content of that sentence I won't phrase it th...

Re: Show us your pedalboard

Yeah, like Ben said. Electric through one and acoustic through the other. Lots of soundys I know will mute an instrument when it's not in use and I have a frustrating habit of not always sticking to setlists so I just found it easier to run this way. It just means if I suddenly feel compelled to get...

Re: Show us your pedalboard

Here is a shot of my pedal board in some rehearsals we had a couple of months back :D It served me very well! I also added a MXR 70's reissue script Phase 90 after the Boss Phase Shifter. Just so I had some different sounding phase options without having to change anything between songs. Plus the Bo...

It has individual power supplys for every pedal I've got or needed power for so far. Great hard case, and because they use really hard plastic it's as light as a ped...

Re: fave solo that wouldn't make the usual 'top' lists?

U2's live version of 'Please' has a cool solo at the end. It's nothing flashy but really makes the song peak in the bridge. Pity they didn't discover it before they released the album because the album version is a lot more understated. Still cool, but the live ending hauls a lot of arse :D
