UNPLANNED DOWNTIME: 12th Oct 23:45
I built a pedalboard, and ditched my amp (now with Seagulls)
What's Hot
I usually play into Trio+ which sends guitar to an a clean amp and rhythm section goes to monitors.
Great in the room but a bit disturbing if anyone is doing something in the same room. So I came up with this:
Guitar into Lucydreamer, which also has a boost. Into Broadcast as a clean pre-amp, into delay, into Trio, stereo out to Hardwire reverb sending stereo out to 2x inputs on interface, into powered monitors.
So, the best bit, I can direct monitor the interface which means I can now run headphones (in stereo) from my interface and the only person I annoy is myself! It will also be one click DAW record as well with guitar on channel 1 and rhythm on ch2.
The Broadcast a such a great pre-amp, it really chimes. You can get crystal cleans or a bit of break up if you prefer. The Lucydreamer is fantastic, an 808 without the mid hump and the boost can lift the overdrive or colour the Broadcast. Then you have the Broadcast fuzz as well. All of them stack together really well.
Delay LLama sounds so rich and it has some lovely tails hanging in there.
And it's all at desk height for adjustment so no more back breaking to reach down. Trio operates from footswitch on the floor.
It really is band in a box, or band on a tabletop.
Next stage wil be to integrate Beebo into the Trio fx loop, then it will start getting weird.
Who needs big amps any more?

If you want to get even nicer amp-like tones then I'd recommend trying a revival drive compact.
Pedaltrain Nano would do nicely for your rig:
It does look like a great recording rig though!
Then did nothing with it.
Same goes for my half finished telecaster project, but that is another tale of idleness and faddishness!
