Picked this up last year.  Debatable whether it’s worth the money, but it’s badass and I haven’t found a clone that can match it.

I have been glancing at that Boss Katana 50 for a few days and late last night one was posted on Facebook Marketplace that looked practically brand new for $170. I didn't send a message about it

Doing a massive cleanup today . . . found this.  I'm not sure I've ever used it or if it's even mine.  Somebody might have left it at my old studio.  Anybody know anything about the brand/model?  I need to find the power adapter.

Seems valuable.

Well, you're not gonna like this one I put together for a show a few years back.

Ha.  This got bigger than I wanted.   I doubt it leaves the basement very often.  Mainly did it to get them all on one board instead of sitting on a desk/floor/shelf/rack.   These were previously on a Holey Board and I HATED that setup for too many reasons to list.  Thought it was cool when it first came out.  It was not. 
I generally take out one of two different small boards. 

1) Vol Pedal - tuner - compressor - Flashback delay - Cloudburst reverb.   (church stuff)
2) Vol Pedal - MXR Distortion - Tremolo - Carbon Copy delay - HOF reverb

I currently have a metal holeyboard.  What are you using now and what cons did you find on the holeyboard?  I've only had it for a little while and I've yet to play it out, so I have no allegiance to them if there's a better mousetrap.

I bought the first generation wooden holey board (arc model with the upper shelf).  I tried zip tying the pedals on....didn't work on all pedals and didn't like the way it looked.  I ultimately just put down some Velcro where I wanted the pedals, but again, it just looked sloppy and things were constantly getting unplugged or falling off when I moved it.  
There wasn't a good, safe way to transport, other then just picking it up by the top shelf or the handle at the end, and inevitably, something would fall off or at least get knocked loose.  

This new board is a PedalTrain Classic 1 and got the hard-shelled case.  Just so much easier to transport it.

I always heard of people having success with using links of bicycle chain, running the screws from the pedal's base plate through one part of the link and screwing the other part to the board (assuming a wooden board).  I ended up getting a Pedal Train Nano and a Nano+ when I decided I never wanted to deal with a larger board again.  I've never used the Nano+ in a live setting in the years I've had it.  The Nano always has been enough.

Yep.  That is generally what I do.  My other smaller board is a Nano+ as well.   That bicycle chain is DEFINITELY more work that I would ever put in to this. 

My holey board was this model.   I thought it was be a great idea.  I hated the thing.

I have a metal one now.

I haven't played it out yet.  I'm still playing around with the arrangements of the pedals.  It is quite heavy.  I do like how all the cords can be tucked underneath for a very clean look.

Remember when there was a company that you could send your cd's and iPod to and they would put all your music on your iPod?

There needs to be a company you can send your board and pedals to who will set it up for you. I hate fucking with my board.

Are you zip tying them down or using velcro?  The two things I liked was the holes to run the cables and the elevated deck.

For the first time in a few years, I bought a pedal.  I've got a Barber Direct Drive V2 (first edition of the compact Direct Drive) incoming.  

I really like their Gain Changer pedal.

I do as well.  I've had that one for several years.  It plays nicely with my tweed amps, which are all pretty notable for the mids.  So the flat eq setting on the GC/SR works well.

 

With the Direct Drive, I'm kind of hoping I can coax the inner Marshal out of my Bassman or Low Power Tweed Twin.

Yeah, I use the GC with my little Fender champ, which is the only real amp I have left.  But it seems like it would play nice with different amps given the various EQ profiles.

I'm looking for a polyphonic pitch shift pedal that I can tap with my foot to shift between -1 octave, no effect, and +1 octave.  I don't care about the semitones in between.  A nice to have would be a mix knob to balance the pitch shifted signal and unaltered signal.  Anyone got any recommendations?

I thought I'd posted this earlier, but this might do what you want.  I used to have it's big brother and it was quite the bag of tricks.

 

 

That looks like it might do what I need and more.  Thanks!

I just drunkenly bought this off of Temu. Don't judge me. 

 

Lemme know how it goes, my wife keeps buying me guitar stuff off Temu.  It hasn’t been awful.  Not gear, more like pictures and rugs and stuff.

Digging around today and found out I can modify the settings from an app on my phone and record to my phone, as well as stream music to it via bluetooth to play along to. Can plug in headphones as well. We will find out.

Last week, I picked up at TC Electronic Vibroclone for not a lot of $$.  Years ago, I had a Neo Mini Vent, which did about all I could ask for in a Leslie simulator.  But it, for lack of a better description, laid a digital "sheen" on my tone I didn't love and was too easy to sell for the $$$ I put into it.  Plus, it resulted in too much "Cold Shot."  Anyway, I always wanted to have a cheap Leslie pedal lying around, with the idea that I would run a stereo rig with the B channel being just for Leslie tones so I could blend them or kick on the "Leslie" during leads for something interesting. 

 

I've got to say, for the $59 plus shipping I paid, this gets close.  The drive knob is useful, and the slow and fast sounds do things convincingly enough.  Down side is that there is no footswitch for slow/fast (just a toggle).  But for the price, I can't complain.  Now I just need a decent switcher that doesn't cost much.

Might have already posted but: I got a Strymon Cloudburst for Christmas and I thought it was defective. Turns out it didn’t like my Donner power supply. I ordered a PS from Strymon and now it works great. I had never seen that before with lots of other pedals.

I guess if I ever build a pedal board I’ll have to get one of their bigger multi-pedal units.

The Cloudburst is fun to play.  I have a Hall of Fame reverb for basic stuff, but wanted some of the more spacey sounds and it fits the bill.   When I added it, I switched to a  CIOKS DC10 and it seems to play nice with everyone.  And it's only $200.
