Awrighty,

Here's my first try ever at posting a pic. Fingers crossed this one works! I recently completed my pedalboard. The order, from right to left, is: original late 60s or early 70s Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Face, J. Everman Fuzz Drive Deluxe, Prescription Electronics Vibe Unit, Menatone Red Snapper, Legendary Tones Time Machine Boost, Chicago Iron Octavian and script logo MXR Phase 90. The power supply is an Aspect Design Labs Juice Box. I use it only for the Phase 90, tho, which has been made true bypass and fitted with a 9v wall-wart input as this is a real battery sucker (and tone sucker before the true bypass!). All the other effects sound better with a battery but I aim to use the Juice Box for two effects I will most certainly be acquiring this year: a Peterson StroboStomp pedal tuner and a Maxon AD999 analog delay. In place of the CI Octavian I can also use my J. Everman Ring Modulated Fuzz which sounds killer thru the Juice Box! The cables are an Evidence Audio guitar cable cut to size fitted with Neutrik plugs.

Cool stuff. Ya gots ta love the Vintage peds. I got a EVH P90 for Xmas but it still doesn't capture the sound of my Script P90. Those old Script versions add a little dirt to the sound which just adds to the character.

Here is a pic of my board from November when I had 3 BJF peds from the Toyz tour box on my board for a gig.



I have a couple changes so I need to take a more current pic.

Come on, George bust out a picture of your board.

Cripes, now I don't know if I wanna post a pic of my pedalboard or not.

It'd be like bragging about driving a Pinto. And I can't imagine running Osmun's pedalboard with any more than two beers in me.

I know, I can't can't compete with those.
Did I mention I have a '67??.....

George

Guys,

I just found out that my post has no pics if I don't log in. I have both pics up on a free space at photobucket.com. How do I put them up here permanently?

Mike

I know, I can't can't compete with those.

Your board isn't that far behind me George.

I have that new Fuzz I made that you gotta try. So far I am really lovin this fuzz.

You guys would love my "pedal board". A bunch of Fulltone pedals just floating on the floor at this point!

Shane,

I had my pedals floating on the floor for the longest time. They'd follow me around when I walked off the stage! I tossed them into a gym bag after the gig. The damage this was causing to the pedals and the fact that I kept adding more pedals was the reason I finally got a pedalboard together.

So, does anyone know how I'm supposed to post pics from my photobucket.com account? Here's a short-term solution I figured out myself:

Mike, your pics must be hiding from you, they've shown up fine every time I've checked this thread.

Flames,

They don't when I log out so you must of caught me logged in when you checked. I'll log in and out and see what happens and then get back to you.

Mike

Yup, just as I thought. When I log out the pics in the first post are gone. The forum software doesn't store the pics on its own server but rather the pics are uploaded from my own hard drive. But only when I'm logged in. I remember Country Boy Shane mentioning he had a similar problem somewhere on this forum. Anyway, the URL's three posts back work permanently. But educate me guys, when I post a message there are these buttons over the message box on the right saying IMG and URL. I'm sure these have something to do with permanently attaching pics from a webspace. Help me out here! I know more about geetars than I do about this kind of stuff.

You are very right. I too have a dreaded purple Dunlop Sports bag that pedals go in sometimes. Definitely time for me to build a pedal board.

Hey blue, how are you fastening your pedals to the board? Are you just using some velcro tape?

Fine. Here's a pic of my pathetic "Pinto" of a pedalboard:



Right to left, it's the Snarling Dogs Super Bawl Whine-O Wah, Voodoo Labs Sparkle Drive, Fulltone FatBoost, a homebrew A/B amp switcher, and a homebrew controller for my homemade Vibratone cab.

Truly sad. But on the flip side, nothing looks cooler than that epitome-of-white-trash Snarling Dogs wah. I woulda bought that just to sit it there and laugh. Fortunately it sounds pretty good.
