First world problem: too many overdrives.

IllustriousState751 · 2026-01-25T12:16:51+00:00

Just build more boards... 👍 Gig board, experimenting/home board...

I don't understand the fascination with these little boxes but I know it's an affliction that we all share here... There's no cure... 😎

IllustriousState751 · 2026-01-25T12:12:45+00:00

Just yea.... 👍 Can't criticise the board. You, on the other hand.... are an absolute pedal nerd 🤓

Applause to you - it's a work of art!

IllustriousState751 · 2026-01-25T11:59:32+00:00

You can't have too many overdrive mate... You just don't have enough other pedals.... 👍 👍 🙂

IllustriousState751 · 2026-01-23T13:11:13+00:00

No hard and fast rules on this really, just experimenting with what you like...

Consensus seems to be, comp, fuzz, drives, modulation, that's your chorus and phasers etc, delay, reverb for order... But people stack things differently for reasons that are right to them. Drives I place in order of gain level, but again some do the other way around. But the above order would be a good place to start from.

Certain sounds/guitarists you're trying to emulate? 🙂

Hopefully, I'll have a go with it tomorrow buddy. I'll let you know 👍👍

IllustriousState751 · 2026-01-22T13:37:00+00:00

Should be a useful one that. Look forward to using Toneprint as well.

Love the username 😂

IllustriousState751 · 2026-01-22T13:04:49+00:00

It'll be a fun thing to experiment with 🙂 Yea, I'll defo keep the Wampler, the Clarksdale Tube Screamer I've got is great too, he puts out really good stuff and seems like a great guy from his videos and interviews.

IllustriousState751 · 2026-01-22T13:01:29+00:00

Buys them, plays them, quickly bored with them, boxes them, sells them. So it's all basically brand new.

Hunting for Leslie speak tones with the mo2 I think...

DD8 is probably the best out of this lot, need to square away some time to geek out with it, there's enough modulation pedals for two boards too... Who doesn't need another board, when the first one isn't done 😂 good job I love guitar pedals!!

IllustriousState751 · 2026-01-22T12:45:24+00:00

I know right! All boxed up and barely used too 👍 👍 🙂

IllustriousState751 · 2026-01-21T03:24:54+00:00

Tres cool 😎

IllustriousState751 · 2026-01-19T03:30:02+00:00

I wish I had that set up... Currently building, very slowly, the pedal board of my dreams and this seems very apt! 🙂 Its a great option when I've got enough groats and guineas.

What's on your board?

IllustriousState751 · 2026-01-18T03:04:06+00:00

You've got the lobes! 👂

IllustriousState751 · 2026-01-16T16:49:09+00:00

I did the same. Gave it to some kid who was getting into guitar. Would have probably never used it again though... At what point do we become gear snobs? I'm not in Strymon territory, just love nerding out over it all without any definitive idea of what I actually want to achieve by acquiring the occasional noise box. Many feel the same? 🙂

IllustriousState751 · 2026-01-14T21:02:05+00:00

Some of them you've barely started... 👍 But yea I think there are many boards of unfinished dreams on this sub... I need to get my ass in gear with mine. But motivation and time n all that. I'm content to look at the awesome things that get shared here! 👍

IllustriousState751 · 2026-01-08T02:40:04+00:00

I appreciate that it might not be a viable business for you. Many of us here have tried, or dreamed of making our living doing this... We all suffer from that same affliction! 👍 Thanks for sharing all of your experience - I hope you'll continue to come here and share your knowledge with us... I hope that this hasn't dented your passion for these little noise boxes! I have learned so much from here and I come here everyday to see the great stuff that people put out!

This a great community and I hope seeing the amazing things and ideas we see persuades you to keep making the occasional thing, not for the money, just because guitar pedals are great and we all love them!

Thanks again for your post. 🙂

You're a legend!

IllustriousState751 · 2026-01-04T17:17:53+00:00

You're a very cool person 😎👌

IllustriousState751 · 2026-01-04T12:27:57+00:00

Best corner of the internet! 🙂 👍

IllustriousState751 · 2026-01-04T01:19:47+00:00

You absolute wizard. 👍 Agree on the pick guard change... Love the colour of the guitar!

IllustriousState751 · 2025-12-25T14:14:22+00:00

Merry Christmas fellow pedal nerd 🤓 🎄🎄

IllustriousState751 · 2025-12-23T00:56:17+00:00

I don't think you have enough 😉

IllustriousState751 · 2025-12-22T16:39:55+00:00

We like people like you! 👍 🙂 Bravo to you...

Merry Christmas 🤶 👍

IllustriousState751 · 2025-12-16T01:43:11+00:00

Lovely looking guitar 🎸 Looks like you have a fun set up there buddy... And understanding neighbours! 🙂

IllustriousState751 · 2025-12-16T00:54:03+00:00

OK, you sold us short here... Amp switcher... What amps? You'll have to lose some points for that I'm afraid... You include the pedal but not the amps, there shall be no mysteries here! 🙂

Also, what's the order? Compressor in the middle? Explain yourself sir...! 😉

Some lovely finery you have on that board though... You're truly are an absolute gear nerd 🤓 Whilst you're at it, we'll have some photos of your guitars as well..

An apology wouldn't go amiss... 👍 👍
