    My board hasn’t changed for the last 5 years... 

    do i win?


    No. You need at least two more delays and two reverbs. 
    Have 1 delay on there and don’t do reverb :)
    You should. It's d r e a m y

  • I’ve just done a year with the same board. Having made a bunch of changes over the festive period and tried it last night on a gig, I’m now prepared to go for the year with it like this.

    I could just about do this except I have an itch to replace my Joyo Ultimate drive with a real OCD. Also I have a half baked plan to replace my Avalanche Run with an EHX Canyon and Oceans 11

    You're already losing this fella, lol. The "I'll just change this" becomes "Well now that doesn't sound as good with the new drive, so I'll just change this". Next thing you know you'll be scrapping the whole thing and buying a Helix a you're fed up of all the faff. Before long you'll realise that although the Helix sounds great, you're not a fan of menu's and you just want the simplicity of pedals again, and the first thing you'll look to buy is that Ultimate Drive and Avalanche run that you remember worked so well when you started out on this journey 3 months previous.

    It never ends

  • Is this just limited to pedals or do we have to stick with the same board, patch cables and power supply?

    I think I can do this. I had the best guitar tone I've ever had in my wedding band at Hogmanay and think I finally cracked stacking (Juansolo Klone into Digitech HardWire CM-2 into TC Dark Matter). I barely moved my guitar volume control (and I'm a habitual fiddler) and my strat finally sounded full and creamy rather than spiky and thin. Happy days. For delay I use a DD7 and wobble comes from a TC Flashback mini set to Chorus. All sitting on a Pedaltrain jnr and powered by a One Spot.

    I think I can live with that for a year, unless something breaks.

    So I suggested this to my wife yesterday in the car and she laughed at me (she has plenty of reason and history on her side to be fair)

    What I suggested to her was that once I'd spent my Christmas vouchers I would be keeping the same pedalboard for the entire year!! So now I am doubley determined!!

    Anyone else wanna join me?? I'm thinking that side effects of doing this will be actually playing the guitar more


    I'm in. Mooer Red Truck, good enough for RJ Ronquillo on his European fly gigs so should be ok for me....and it's more pedal board that multi fx to me.....oh and a wah.

    I've always thought that if it's set up, then why would you want to change the cables, board or power supply?? Seems like unnecessary faff 

    I'll be keeping it all the same

    Agreed and I'll be keeping my rig the same as well, I just wanted to check I wouldn't be disqualified if I had to replace something due to breakage.

    Rules are very important in this kind of competition.

    Haha, I wasn't seeing it as a competition. It's a challenge, and being successful means I get a greater prize than any other, being able to say I told you so to my wife (oh and I might get better at playing as well)

  • If I can get through January on one drive pedal I *think* I could do this, as the delay, trem etc have stayed the same all year.

    Although I’m toying with the notion of a slightly bigger board with compressor and chorus on it. Which would then get me thinking about a second drive pedal...

    You're right! In reality I don't think the EQDs AR is going anywhere. So only got an OCD in my sights. And the chances of me having the cash for this in the near future are limited. So I'm in!!!

    This is it for the rest of the year and I've got a lot of booking with the wedding band to make the most of it.

    My set up is pretty settled now, and I don't have any money, so . . . no chance !

    I sent a message half an hour ago regarding a pedal I'd like to own ;)

    Fuck it - I'm going to say I can do this. I lost my job this week so I've got no money to spend, and I can't think of any of my pedals that I currently want to sell (apart from the Blues Driver I've taken off my board and no longer use), so I'll say yes - I will stick to this pedal lineup for a year.

    I’m in. 

    In December I went from a big board to a Nano Plus and I want to keep it this way for a while.
