Well I've gone and sold over half my pedals and kind of rethought of few things. Changes in delay, reverb, overdrive are forthcoming. I bought a DD20 a few weeks ago but the jury is out on that one. Still stressing on the reverb pedal though. I can't seem to find one that I love in my price range. I have found the one overdrive that has made me sell all but one of my old ones. The Analogman King of Tone. This is the most monster overdrive tone machine I've ever had. I've been wanting to put together some video or whatever so I can get in on the virtual open mic thing. This is as good a reason as any t give it a shot. Just checking in. It's been a while.

Just checking in. It's been a while. Yeah just what we've been thinking. So when can we see some pics of the new board? I was going to ask you why you didn't like the Verbzilla reverb, but I like it and don't want you to put me off it.

Actually Les the verbzilla is in the running. It's definitely a great pedal.
My favorites all run 3-400 dollar US so thats' kind of out of the question.
The ones I'm looking at (used market only, I rarely buy new) are the Verbzilla, EH Cathedral, Dr. Scientist Reverborator, and the TC Electronics Nova Reverb. I'm all about the plate reverbs but having modulation on the decay as an option is a big plus. The only thing stopping me from pulling the trigger is finding the right deal and then actually having the money to pay for it.

Tried Memory Man / Boy / whatever from electro harmonix for your delay?

The older Memory Man delays are classics. I love that tone. I rehearsed tonight with the DD20 and it definitely is a usable delay. The sounds are pretty good to pretty darn good. I went ahead and ordered a stand alone tap tempo last night for it so I guess its a keeper for now anyway. Now if I can get someone to buy my LTD and PH3 I'll go ahead and pull the trigger on a reverb.

Well just when I thought I had it all done..... I was wiring up two nights ago and then yesterday got a trade offer on a Lovepedal Kanji Eternity which I promptly jumped on and which also set off another selling spree. So by my new estimation I will be keeping 2-3 of the old pedals.
The keepers as of now:
TC Electronics Polytune Analogman King of Tone (original gain structure) Lovepedal Kanji Eternity Boss CE2 Chorus Xotic EP Booster Ernie Ball VP Jr Earthquaker Devices Ghost Echo Reverb
Gone and going as of now:
Barber LTD v1 Wampler modded SD1 (beloved and can't believe Im selling it) NOC3 Firefly (can't believe I sold it) sniff sniff Voodoo Labs Sparkle Drive (ditto) Boss PH3 Phase Shifter Ibanez FL9 Flanger Cmatmods Deeelay Delay (wish I had that one back) EH Holy Grail Plus Boss DD20 Delay T1M mini tap Keeley 2 knob compressor Boss TU2 tuner
Needing:
Cmatmods Signa Comp compressor Malekko Ekko 616 delay
Wanting:
TC Electronics Nova modulator CAE MXR wah pedal A high gain OD to be figured out later
IT NEVER ENDS!!!!!!

I went to my favourite local guitar store this morning to buy, on behalf of Lady Ann, as she is giving these to me for my Birthday!! a Boss FS-6 to use with the looper function on my Boss Eband and a Boss PW 10 Wah pedal. The footswitch is not so sexy as a "proper" effects pedal but it will be invaluable with the eband. The PW 10 offers lots of on board toys to play with. This is what Boss say about it: World's first COSM modeling wah pedal, with 6 classic and modern wah pedal models Noise-free operation with advanced infrared pedal detection 8 onboard Overdrive/Distortion effects to perfectly complement the wah sounds New "Voice" mode simulates "talking" vowel sounds New "Double Resonance" mode creates analog synth-type sounds "Uni-V" effect produces vintage swirling rotary sounds 3 digital memories for saving customized wah sounds for instant recall Wah Range knob allows users to customize the filtering range instantly Unfortunately for me they didn't have either pedal in stock and It doesn't look like they will have them in time for my birthday. Oh well, c'est la vie as they say.

Alright RK , I think we may have need for a peddle intervention. Step way from the board, and just think of what you have started, Oh well go ahead and plug the guitar back in and go at it. ;D ;D ;D Most of use are now officially green with envy. ;D ;D

Les - That modeler sounds sweet. The FS6 is a momentary switch so basically any tap tempo style switch should work for you. You can find them on ebay from a lot of different manufacturers.
Phil - Intervention!!! LOL, I just caught a mental picture of myself lying in the floor with the shakes while I withdraw from my addiction like a heroin addict. It might appear more like an exorcism.
Rayden - hit me up with that review. I love e'm.
Everybody - Anyone want buy some pedals? ;D

RK - have been playing with the Ice 9 a bit and have it set as a low gain with more of a volume boost. I'm not sure if you're actually after a distortion box, which this isn't. But it's a good little amp driver. I'll see how it goes on the weekend with the band

OK, off the "keeper list" I sold the King of Tone. I waited over 2 years on a waiting list to get it and then just couldn't bond. That's the bad news. The good news is I made a nice profit on the sale. The CE2 is also on the blocks but I may change my mind about that. The DD20 was traded for a TC Electronics Nova Delay and I have a line on the Signa comp. So as it appears now there are now only two pedals off my board that I kept from the pics I posted here. Whats really scary about my obsession is trying to remember how many I've been through in the last say 4 years. I'm gonna venture a guess of about 50-60 different ones. Soooo it goes on. But I hope to get this wrapped up in the next few weeks.
