Playing mostly through an Orange OR30 these days with a Mojotone 2x12 (Celestion Neo Creambacks). I use a Tone King Gremlin too sometimes, but to be honest I have more fun playing that one straight into the amp with no pedals. This board is super versatile and covers most of what I’m playing - mostly Pixies type stuff but also a lot of classics (Hendrix, Zeppelin) to punk (NOFX, AFI, Pennywise). The standout pedal here for me is the Mas Effects The Expanse - the power plug is a little wonky but the pedal sounds great.
looks super badass! Is the whole bottom row dirt?
Indeed it is, other than the tuner. The EQD is really nice for adding a bit of hair and very responsive to a guitar’s volume knob, the MXR is an OCD clone without Fulltone’s baggage, the Pettyjohn Rail is a really cool fuzz/distortion - reminds me of a more versatile RAT with a gate on its most extreme setting, and the Empress is by far the best metal pedal I’ve ever played.
You have two tremolo pedals‽ I just watched Andy's Expanse demo, seems pretty versatile for a tremolo! How do like the MXR reverb? I have the MXR tremolo in the same form factor and I'm really happy with it so I have the reverb wishlisted.
The Expanse can be harmonic tremolo with delay or spacey reverb. I use the Walrus Monument as a standard trem and sometimes a glitchy trem. I’ve had phasers and univibes before and really liked them, but harmonic trem is my favorite. I keep the Reverb on plate mode most of the time, but the spring is really good too
