Methinks its time to post some pics of my babies again.

These are my main boards. Rightboard:
SDC10298.jpg


This is where my sound comes in and gets split, one part shimmer, the other my main guitar signal. Basically it has shimmer, filter/wah, harmonizers and reverse delay. The BYOC digital delay only serves to thicken up the sound and because I like how it colors up the sound. The DM-4 is a late addition. Should be on the left board but there is no room there.

Left board:
SDC10271.jpg


My main board. Overdrives, distortions, boosts, noise gates, modulation, delays, looper and reverb.

If you think its excessive, it is. It used to be more excessive though:
SDC10015.jpg


I managed to combine things into two boards instead of three.


Sometimes I substitute the left board for a smaller one:
SDC10300.jpg


That's what you get when you suffer from pedalphilia. So many pedals you can construct additional pedal boards:
SDC10299.jpg


Sometimes it can be a pain in the ass to haul that shit around. Sometimes you just want simplicity:
SDC10295.jpg


true bypass modded crybaby -> Digitech WH-4 -> Line6 Tremelo --> Boss HF-2 -> DOD equalizer -> Line6 Echo Park

All in the effects send /return of this Marshall JCM-800:
SDC10297.jpg


Which is in essence a copy of RATM's Tom Morello's rig. Again what you get when pedalphilia goes rampant. The 4x12 cabinet is not mine though, comes with the rehearsal room. Neither do I normally use Marshall amps, I tend to prefer Fender amps. Sounds wicked though when I plug the amp into the cabinet.

I am however learning to cope with my rampant pedalphilia. By trying to build my integrated rack system:

Korg A3 will help TONS for Achtung Baby and Zooropa era tunes. Not so much for Joshua Tree.

Boss SD-1 and OD-2 will help for overdrives. Brass slide for "Bullet...". I've heard that he used E-H Big Muff and Boss FA-1 for "Bullet...".

The POD XT should be able to get the above OD tones, for the most part.

I am not using an amp. Just M-Audio monitors.

I am saving up for the infamous AC30 CC2X...oh and if ever my wife asks, tell her they cost about $150.

You can get actual non-Chinese AC30s for the same (or less) than the CC2's with the blues in them.... I got my AC30/6 TB for $1250.

ok guys, i got 2 pedals, a digitech dl-8 delay and a crybaby wah wah pedal. What do you think would be the next most important pedal in edges rig. I tink it would be overdrive. Any thoughts???:wave:
 
Ok. I've never played one of those amps so I can't really say. You already have the delay and wah, so probably the next choice would be a Tubescreamer (doesn't Edge use one of those?), and maybe a compressor if you want to do slide work.
