just look at it.........................................

thing of beauty like.

and you don't even need to do anything with it. Turn it on pretty much, and it sounds fantastic.

The tone on You Fail Me is crushing. Pure filth. How much did that set you back?

I'm constantly on the look out for a good distortion pedal that can drive an already slightly driven amp, but I'm always underwhelmed.

It just depends on the actual kind of distortion you want. There are a few great pedals out there that saturate your amp to be that little bit fuller. What I find with this exact pedal is it doesn't colour your guitar sound, or your amp sound, so basically it's just phat as fuck, thick overdriven filth.

I got it second hand from our bass player, although he has only had it since June. I paid £150 for it.

These have been discontinued for years, although now recently reissued as the much smaller SDT-2, but they don't have a transformer in them, so I would assume it would HAVE to sound different.

There is a Japanese website that sells them (the SDT-1) second hand for between £120-£180 depending on the condition, then you have shipping on top, then you have to get it converted to UK voltage just so you can use it. I believe this involves a transformer change. So if you were to buy one from there, I reckon you would be looking at around £220 - £250 all in.

If you are about town tonight, I'm jamming at toms at 8 o clock, so if you come down sharp, I can let you have a blast, see what you reckon.

I'm also now a proud owner of an original Providence Stampede SDT-1

It is probably the best distortion pedal I have ever used. Sounds amazing with my V4.

Same set up that Kurt Ballou used for recording Jane Doe and You Fail Me.

ziiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing.

Did you import the pedal? I was eyeing up a Pharoah a while ago as a fuzz option but with international shipping it fairly bumped up the price.

Yeah man, I bouth it directly from B.A.T. and he did me a good deal.

That said, I found a Pharoah on ebay for around £95 shipped. I thought that was a pretty good deal like!

My most recent addition.

A Black Arts Toneworks Coven.

Probably one of the finest fuzz pedals on the market today, hand built by one guy and brilliant finishes on all of their products. This specific pedal is a mix of their Pharoah pedal and the Black Forest pedal. (The Black Forest's paint job is so bloody good.) Lots of features, lots of switches and knobs. Lots of fun, and most importantly, LOTS of good tone!

I highly recommend that you check him and his pedals out.

http://www.youtube.com/user/BlackArtsToneworks?feature=CBwQwRs%3D and his personal youtube channel where he demos all of his own pedal, showing you exactly what they were built for.

this is awesome.

Oh man, that is a real shame.

Such a friendly guy.

Thoughts go out to his family.

And thanks. Digging the you fail me reference.

Yeah man, there are 3 more to come.

cheers man!

Yeah Ewan is a machine! One of the best things to happen to this band! Very glad to have him on board!

Good jam. That breakdown totally nails it.

thanks man

It's great. Sounds mighty for a 'demo', better than some band's 'finished' product.

thanks man!

It is pretty close to being the finished product, just a few things here and there needing to be changed till we are absolutely happy with it. We recorded it at the start of June, and have had to be fairly quiet with it, but we were just desperate to let folks here it, because I think we are all collectively pretty stoked with how it turned out, so thought we would stick up an in progress mix in the mean time!

You planning on using metal or wood?

still not sure. Probably wood, but in a metal flightcase

Me and my old man are currently in the process of building a couple of pedal boards.

We've decided to go along the same idea as the Pedaltrain boards with an outer frame with slats in the middle and raised at the back.

Similar to this

Ours are going to be made out of wood opposed to metal as neither of us are overly experienced in welding and fabricating.

Key is to plan it out. Get some cheap materials so you can make a couple of test boards as well.

If you are planning on putting it in a case I'd get the case first rather than take the manufacturers dimensions for granted.

I was thinking maybe building to a design like this....

Another option - amazon....?

I'm always a bit sceptical of the build quality of these things...but thanks, will look into it

I'd love one of these - http://blackbirdpedalboards.com/gallery/

Also, if you plan on touring it probably best to make it with a proper flight case with the butterfly catches as appose to a multi-purpose tool box.

those are beautiful!

I want a yellow single cut junior with a JB in the bridge. Such a warm crunchy tone. I still love those pickups.

Had a junior and sold it, wished I hadn't.

Need a TV yellow one.

They look even cooler with age.

this is gorgeous.

Looking it up online a bit, struggling to find what I'm after really (weird, I know).

Any tips and tricks? Tried and tested methods?

Basically going to be making a pedal board that is big enough to hold a large bunch of my pedals. Probably around 8 or so at a time (although I rarely use that much).

Need to be big enough to fit a Line 6 DL4, a Big Muff, a pedal that is the size of an Marshall Channel selector footswitch and a bunch of boss size pedals.

I was thinking of basically building it into a metal case (http://www.tooled-up.com/Product.asp?PID=26612&Referrer=googleproductlisting&gclid=CMTgy5mc-7ECFZMftAodhk8Axw)

Cheers in advance.

I honestly thought it was the best in the entire series.

As great as Heath Ledger was as the joker, I could still take that film or leave it, and I thought that Batman Begins was the better of the two.

But now, I prefer this one, so much more. Tom Hardy was incredible. Commanded my attention whenever he was on screen. So fucking good. Something that Heath Ledger never really did for me.

it's called an offer , and it's got nothing to do with you so why bother posting ?

320 is an offer, maybe even 300, 200 is taking the piss.

But regardless, hope Steve manages to shift it.

people on this forum are hilarious.

He is asking for £350, so if you want it, pay the £350.

£200, what a fucking joker. Go to Argos and buy a Squier.

definitely.

come oan, get yer rats oot.

beautiful specimen
