Borrowed my parents crappy camera today and took a few shots of my rig. I have no idea to change any of the settings on the camera, but you should get the idea ;-)

First, my pedalboard:

Signal path starts with guitar to the Teese Real McCoy Custom Wizard Wah, into the input of the blue Loooper. The Loooper has a tuner out which goes to the Korg DT-10. In the loop of the Loooper are the Ibanez TS-9, the Boss CE-5, Ibanez AD-9 Reissue, and the Boss DM-3. The out of the DM-3 goes back to the return of the Loooper completing the loop. The out of the Loooper then goes to the amps input.

The purple Loooper pedal a channel switcher Dave Boggs built custom for me.

The pedalboard is the Gigman model from NYC Pedalboards. There is a Dunlop DC Brick under the riser.

I run everything in front of the amp, it sounds just fine to me. I like keeping everything in the loop, that way I'm guitar -gt; wah -gt; amp when no effects are on. That way I'm TB straight through.My '88 JCM 800 2210 Head and Marshall 1960 Vingtage CabMy Gibson Les Paul Studio (soon to be duncanized and Tone Pros bridge added):
And thats pretty much it. Comments/suggestions welcome.

I want your marshall. My mouth is actually open right now. what kind of speakers are in your cab??

Also, I've always looked quot;downquot; on the LP studios, but yours looks real nice....Although I think I get that from seeing the Epi studios which are crap.

Can I save those pictures to my computer (?) to help enchance my dreams??

Heh. You can go ahead and save the pics if you want. The cab reads 1960 Vintage at the bottom, so I would imagine they are Vintage 30's. I meant to do some research on it but I always forget.

The LP Studio has been a player for the last 4-5 years, and its held up pretty well. Soon I'm gonna be giving it some upgrades.

Nice setup! That LP is one of my favorite Studios, since it has a cool color and nice inlays. How do you like the tuner? My TU-12 is too hard to see without wearing glasses, so I think I need one that's got bright LED's, rather than a needle.

The only thing I'd do differently with your pedalboard would be to put the most used pedals across the front, and put all the pedals that are brought in/out with the looper on the shelf. That way, you'll never look like you're tap dancing in the middle of the board.

I absolutely love the DT-10. I use it all the time for stage tuning, and I can see it just find standing up. It tracks pretty fast too.

How do you like the ad-9? I've been looking at those for a while now, feel like giving a little review?

I absolutely love my AD9. I wouldn't say I'm a delay freak at all, its actually the first delay I've bought (although I've toyed with other people's DL-4's, DD-3's, etc ...)

I set the AD9 for longer delay times, and the DM-3 for shorter slapback stuff. Oscillation isn't much on the AD9, its more like a low growl compared to the DM-3's high pitched squeals. Supposedly there is a trimpot on the inside of the AD9 to increase oscillation, but its supposed to lower the quality of the delayed sound.

Its really hard to not recommend the AD9, especially for the price. Most analog delays cost twice as much these days.

The JCM 800 LEAD - 1960 cabs came with Celestion G12-75s. Not the best sounding speakers Marshall ever used but not the worst either. I have a 800 -1960 under my 2203.

Thanks for the review, i'll have to see if my local shop has one in stock so i can play around with it. What pups are you gonna throw in the LP?

Most likely JB/Jazz for now.

Hey man, thanks! Also....clips?

THat colour looks awesome on the LP.

1 on that ^^

My grandpa had a '62 Chrysler that he kept in his barn ... it had that exact colour. He also painted his guitar (Anjo LP clone) and his violin to match. When he died, I wanted the guitar but my uncle Fred got it instead. I am still a bit bummed about that, but in reality I doubt I would have actually played it. I did get his harmonica though.

Seeing your LP immediately brought back memories of jamming with grandpa in his workshop. I bet he would have loved your guitar. I am amazed it's the same colour, because I have never seen ANYTHING that colour other than his stuff, until now.

Damn, you got me all sentimental!

Sorry to break the memory chain, but what will the tone pro's bridge do?? And is it like a tune-o-matic?? I feel like a dumbass not knowing this

It locks on to the bridge post. If you take the strings off, the bridge piece will fall off. There is a hell of a lot more to it, there are plenty of threads on here if you do a search.

As far sounds clips, the only recordings of it are on my bands 3 song demo. Check the sig for the clips.

And sorry for getting you all sentimental :-( Its the translucent green color of the LP studio.

Deal. I still love your Marshall BTW, I can't get over how much I want a JCM800 now! (I only got a valvestate)

Thanks for the GAS!

That looks like a wonderful setup! Just about perfect for most any rock application.

Just out of curiosity, you mentioned that it was less expensive than most analog delays... ball park figure, how much did that one run you?

The AD9 reissue runs around $140.
