My Gear

 

My recording setup comprises of a Boss Micro-BR for quick and simple recordings and a 2008 MacBook Pro running Cubase 5 and fed by an Edirol FA-66. Depending on the need (and the time of day ;-) ), I record my guitar(s) direct to the recorder using a Marshall JMP-1 Preamp or I use a 1974 Silverface Fender Champ miked by a good old Shure SM-57. I also occasionally record direct using a first generation Line 6 Pod.

I am a pedal freak and my collection has grown to about 40 pedals and various effect devices. My current pedalboard looks like this:

  1. It’s great to a Rat on the pedal boards again. Nice simple set-up. It this the board you run into your Silverface Champ?

  2. Hi, yes I run this board into my Fender champ or a Marshall JMP-1 preamp when I record direct. I also have an old VOX AC-30 but it needs some maintenance (super amp though).

  3. Nice pedal collection there man! I have some that aren’t on your list that you might wanna test out :) (always welcome, I live in Belgium so it isn’t that far ;) )

    EHX Cathedral
    T-Rex Replica
    Dunlop Crybaby (will check the model#, got it about 8 years ago I think)
    Dunlop Rotovibe
    T-Pedals HiFuzz (this is a really rare pedal and it absolutely kicks ass)

    I’m looking to get an EHX Micro Q-Tron, an MXR Dynacomp, a ZveX Super Hard On, a Boss BF-3 and an MXR Phase 90 (most of which you’ve covered on this site)

    I run these to various amps, usually to a HiWatt HiGain 100 head on a Bogner 2×12 oversized cab or an Orange TH 30 with an Earcandy 2×12 buzzbomb, but I just got a new Matamp GT1 with a 4×12 cab so that’s gonna be the main amp for quite some time I think :)

    If you have any suggestions towards my pedalboard, feel free! Always looking to improve and expand.

  4. HI Adriaan, I have relocated to Sydney, Australia so I am not so close anymore :-(

    I haven’t heard of the T-Pedals HiFuzz, I will check it out.

    I like your pedalboard, very original, what kind of tone are you after?
