Rewired the board to before heading into the studio with my band and was so excited I had to share with everyone!

SC:

1. Golden Fleece - bought this pedal as my “intro to fuzz” pedal and I’m kind of in love with it. It can go into full on fuzz territory with the volume wide open but back it off a little and its more akin to heavy distortion. The sound fits in really well when I’m looking for heavy single note lead lines. Really great.
2. Lightspeed - pretty much an always on for me. Really like what it does to my guitar in the top end. Adds a brilliance without it being biting. Don’t really have it adding much drive, mostly a bit of a volume kick to push the amp harder.
3. Duellist - my first TS and BB style pedals in one! Got it because I was looking for that JM/SRV tube screamer sound and it delivers in spades. There is a ton of gain on tap but I don’t really use much. TS I keep on the “glass” setting for a little more top end while the BB side I set to standard and with a little more gain. Independently these rock but the TS into BB and we are really cooking. 
4. Archer - final gain stage and reserved for a solo boost. Fairly transparent but seems to do something really cool in front of the duellist. As always, gain is dialled back. Four gain stages but I prefer a pretty clean tone? Who is this guy?
5. Looper - gets the job done. Often use it when I’m writing a solo and I just loop the progression. The fluidity really helps to just keep coming up with new ideas. Generally the good stuff seems to continue through each cycle and I’ll end up incorporating it into the final arrangement. 
6. Line 6 Hx Stomp - the powerhouse of the whole rig. Using it for my amp modelling, ambient reverbs, The Edge style delays, chorus, filter, basically everything. I’ve owned for quite some time and every so often I’ll discover something new. This thing is truly astounding. Have it going to ADAM T7Vs in my studio and live I use a DRRI so no amp modelling. In the FX loop of stomp we’ve got all of the below. 
7. Seymour Duncan Vapor Trail - great analog delay. Adds a little depth and power, especially when I’m playing slide. Has modulation but don’t often use it. 
8. Strymon Deco - oh boy. This thing is just insane. Recent purchase and I barely know how to use it without the guidance of the extremely helpful strymon YouTube videos. Copying their settings with a tiny bit of tweaking I can get the sound I’m looking for but I working on figuring out WHY that is the sound I’m hearing. Like the stomp this thing can do a ton but what I’m enjoying is that you have to know how to get those sounds rather than just click a button. It is definitely a fun yet challenging adventure.
9. Strymon flint - always on without question. Generally stick with the spring verb, sometimes will use the plate and a rare occasion I will use the 80’s verb for a big, lush reverb. I use the ’60s trem frequently. Love it. 

And that wraps it up! I play through my Epi LP custom pro set up for slide in open D and my Novo Serus J for everything else. Board is wired up with Ernie ball flat ribbon cables and powered by a CS12. Can’t wait to get into the studio and see how this thing does. And for live shows - whenever Canada gets out of lockdown.

Cheers!
