i have quite a few pedals that i really wanted. The only one i am really gassing for but do not have the money for is the Death By Audio Robot pedal. I am so crazy for one of these but they are $320 and that is a lot of scratch. i will get one eventually but it might take some scrimping and saving.

With all the pedals that I have I suppose that I should really have a pedal board.A lot of my pedals are vintage and consequently don't take 9 or 18 volt adapters so having to remove them from a pedal board and then having to partly dismantle them in order to replace the battery would be just extra work.Ever since I played my very first gig at the age of 15 in 1969 I have never used a pedal board but the thoughts of getting one or making one up seems to be making more sense every day.The March issue of Premier Guitar features an article about the pedal boards of 10 influential guitarists such as The Cult,Dweezil Zappa,The Yeah Yeah Yeahs,Queens of the Stone Age and others.

If I made up a pedal board it would have to be a considerable size to say the least. First I go into a Yamaha volume pedal that was modded by my go to electronics tech and then the order is as follows: Vox V847 HW handwired wah- 1970 Rams Head Big Muff Pi-first edition Marshall Guv'nor-1966 Tim's Own Fuzzer Buzzer-Way Huge Green Rhino-Roger Mayer Vision Octavia-Danelectro Cool Cat chorus-Cool Cat Vibe-Cool Cat Tremolo-Cool Cat Transparent Overdrive-Danelectro Hash Browns flanger-1976 Electro Harmonix Electric Mistress flanger-first edition E.H. Bad Stone Phase Shifter-Tech 21 RotoChoir,Leslie Simulator-BBE Sonic Stomp, Sonic Enhancer-Ibanez DM 1000 Digital Delay.I have several more pedals but I don't want to overdo it...lol.

I have a Hughes & Kettner Rotoshpere and I never use it except at home because it is just too damned big. Real estate on a stage floor is usually at a premium. I suggest a Strymon Lex instead. It's much smaller, half the price and sounds as good or better and has a significantly wider range of adjustability. It doesn't have a "drive" control but you'll want an OD pedal anyway. You've listed 3 Fuzz f/x and no OD. One of each will be more versatile.

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.

My dream pedalboard is simple. Marshall JMP-1 rack mounted preamp, rack mounted MIDI effects, all controlled by this:

+1 on the Strymon stuff. If I were in to pedals, I would skip past testing pedals for favorites and go straight for the Morpheus and Timeline. Every possible modulation effect you could ever need, without having to think about it. I guess a transparent OD like an OCD plus those two would be my dream pedalboard. 8)

Let's just say the Strymon Lex isn't my cup of tea, to say the least. We're talking "Dream pedalboards" not nightmarish, supposedly pegged as a "Left-brain" widget with a lot of buttons. I'll take the amplifiers OD over a OD pedal any day! :roll:

Skip past testing pedals for favorites, uh how do you know if they work then? :?
