Hello everybody again!

After a long period (over three years more or less), I’ve completely updated my pedal boards. While some of them have had minor changes, others have been drastically reworked or arranged for new projects. Let’s start!.

I’m currently playing with three different bands. Each one has its own guitar, amp & FX setup as follows: 1 amp, 2 guitars (each one has a different tuning) and 3 pedal boards per band (I tag them “I”, “II” and “III”). What I usually do is trying different combinations – a total of six possibilities per band.

This is what I use when I play with “ZARAPOLIS” (pop-rock, similar to U2, Pink Floyd, and some 80’s and 90’s bands). I use a pair of modified Jazzmasters with D Standard and C Standard tuning:

All pedals powered by THE GIG RIG GENERATOR …

Wow there are some amazing boards here!
This is my current board although I have more power on order as I need to get my Electric Mistress and a phaser on here.
For those interested the most impressive pedal here is the Soul Food. I keep telling everyone its the make it better button – I cannot recommend this highly enough. It is breathtaking with a valve amp but pretty impressive with solid state too!

Memory Boy is truly amazing – you will love it!
Get yourself a Soul Food while you are there – they are amazing!!!!

I was torn on the East River Drive too but I guess it depends on what you are looking for – watch the demos, especially this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fiP8qYVgKFA&list=PL0nQqFcfq-6D-PdLTbFXmgIvtH5tnDBAk#t=303 go to the 5:03 mark. I have a Musicman Luke through a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe Nova and it sounds just like this.

I leave it on for the whole set apart from one acoustic song. It genuinely makes everything better – cleans break up when I want them to (dependent on playing dynamics), crunches have more life and full dirt solos sound amazing!

I would definately upgrade the amp next!

NPD!!!!
Got this last Thursday for my Birthday.
Sorry for the delay

Rock on!

The hot tubes is a delectable thick moist saturation pedal, both the east river and soul food are far more subtle.
