The Ultimate Pedalboard and its always changing. The whole board is wired with George Ls cable and plugs. It just makes it so easy to add or move a pedal. Highly recommended. The Signal Chain is published in the Pedalboard order link.
Closeup of the left side of the pedalboard. The Jext Telez White Pedal absolutely nails the Fuzz/Overdrive circuit within the Vox Defiant and Conquerer amps. Think Beatles White Album, and Stones Sympathy for the Devil. The Pedal Doctor Valve Driver has this unbelievable creamy pure tube overdrive. Using a 12AY7 preamp tube, it’s based on the BK Butler / Chandler Tube OD used by Eric Johnson. The Tube Screamer was modified by Keeley with the same chips used by TI in the original pedal. The two Voodoo Lab Amp Selectors chose between 8 amps…talk about tonal variety! Lastly, the mystery pedal, the Intensifier made by 45 RPM Amp company. Best overdrive I’ve ever heard. Wildwood Guitars is the sole distributor for 45 amps, and they made a few for Wildwood to sell to their good customers. Glad I was offered one! Everything is powered by a vintage Fulltone Black Box
A closeup of the right side of the pedalboard. The Fulltone Supra-Trem just blows the doors off any built-in amp tremolo. Mission volume control pedal followed by The Fulltone Clyde Deluxe Wah, with 3 selective tones for different tonal sweeps. The Fulltone Ranger emulates the famed Dallas Arbiter Rangemaster, made famous by many, but none more that Brian May. It includes a selector allowing to dial in differnt limits on the low side of the EQ wave. The Tube Tape Echo is just an amazing unit and I use it whenever I plug in as it just fills in the “cracks” if you’re playing on you own. The Nova Wah is in the swirly colored box which allows you to dial in a wah tone. It’s two Wahs in one, with either of them set to a certain spot on the Wah cycle. Some cool fuzz tones with the ‘69 pedal (like the old Germanium FuzzFace) and the Soul Bender which sounds like the old Colour Sound pedal of the ’60s. Top right is a Keeley Compressor followed by a Fulltone Ultimate Octave which is based on the Octavia tones from Hendrix. Next to it is a Jeter 124 that simulates the famous Dumble Overdrive Amps of the 80s. Howard Leese Barracuda hands down the best analog flanger around. Google Eric Johnson playing Hendrix House Burning Down; its on his board. And speaking of best analog, the Analog Man Chorus nails the earlier swirling effect. But the king of swirl is the Roto Choir Leslie emulator…nothing like it. Last but not least, the syrupy, drippy tone of a Fulltone MDV-3 Deja-Vibe compliments any ’60s tone. Also added Beat Buddy Mini Drum Machine for some backbeat. All is powered by another Fulltone Blackbox.
Yes, look closely, it’s the Cream at the Royal Albert Hall which my wife Jeri and myself, my old High School bud Rick Fey, and his wife Chris attended on May 5, 2005. A very cool shot of the evening along with our tickets and a couple cool peripherals. One of the greatest, historic rock and roll events ever.
