Very nice board!
I gotta have a volume pedal though. I put one after my distortion stuff so I can run the gain as hot as I want and
then control the output with the pedal.
I still do most of my faux pedal steel swells with the volume knob. The vol pedal lets me have very intimate control of my output volume
I can have my distorions pedals all on at once for face melting distortion but ouput is controllable.
I do like the sound of a heavily distorted quitar swelling in to the song. I use the pedal for that as well as echo'y, spacey atmospheric stuff.
I was playing around last night, and turned ALL of my pedals on.
Sounded like vintage Umagamma era Pink Floyd.
For my rockabilly band I only really use the delays, Pulsar, Holy Grail, and the Tim. Sometimes I use the Copperhead which is a clean boost. I've been thinking about making 2 boards, but I'm lazy...

Because some call me.........Tim.
Seriously though, the Tim pedal is one of the best OD pedals ever.
Love that thing! Was on a waiting list for almost a year for one, and it was worth every second.
Recently added Sonic Stomp as well, nice pedal IMHO.
What do you think about your Pulsar? I like tremelo pedals and have considered that one or maybe BBE Tremor. Currently have a great Nobels TR-X on my board. Here's my board. (crappy pic) Mesa pedal just out of sight.
I have one of those Huckleberry fuzzes too, they're good fun. A little hard to tame at times but fun. I find that if I run my clean boost ( a Sex Drive... woo) into it I get an absolutely gorgeous tone. It sort of takes the sag out of the fuzz pedal, give it a shot if you haven't already, and let me know what you think

Nice board!
The Pulsar is great. Very versitile. Like most of the EHX stuff, it has a very wide range of sounds, and you can get some pretty freaky sounds with the extreme settings. The only problem I have with it, is like a lot of EHX pedals, you get a slight volume drop when it's engaged, but other than that, it's pretty awesome. I'd like to try the BBE Trem pedal. I like the idea of having 2 trem settings that you can flip between.

Hmm...I'll have to try that. Yeah, the Huckleberry is great. It kicked my Big Muff right off the board. I like that it's somewhere between a Fuzzface and a Big Muff. It can get a bit crazy when cranked, but it's one of the best fuzz pedals I've ever heard. I love that Tonefactor Copperhead dual boost. I have had a lot of Tonefactor pedals. Brad, the owner, is a friend of mine, so I've pretty much tried most of their pedals. Really good stuff!

I just got put on the Timmy wait list a few days ago. I'm pretty excited about the pedal. Paul said I should have it around January. Is he at all accurate with his guesstimates? Thanks.
Glad to hear you like the Tim. I finally found out about them and ordered one through Fat Sound Guitars and it's due in late November. Can't wait to add it to the board!
Comanche Kid, Fat Sound also takes orders for the Timmy, and their mark up is modest (not as much as Paul C.'s other dealers). According to their website, he's been delivering them pretty regularly as scheduled this year. Wait time is only 2-3 months.
