My name is Joseph Owen and I'm a bedroom guitarist... the first step is admission. My drummer is away for 12 months and guitarist is working away at the moment too. I don't really want to be in a covers band and I have a 3 month old baby so my Fender Deville is getting annoyed at me.
I spend a lot of time buying/selling/wanting the next best pedal etc... but I have come to realise at a gig they all sort of sound the same a bit. However if you like nice gear, you might as well play it right.
So let us know what is on your boards and how you use it. Pics not needed really, use this template:
I'll start (pretend my band is still active)
Band: Afterglow
Style: Original, Alt Rock
Guitar: Parker P44
Amp: Fender Deville 212
Pedalboard: Tu3 > Fv500h > Emma Reeza > Digitech Timebender > Spring Chicken
What have you got...

Too many to mention..........And more than is necessary for the sane.........

Now where shall I start..........
Phasers, that's where.
I'm down to the only ones which give the sound I think of when I think of phasers, the MXR phase 90, script logo is best.
Flange, again MXR, the Microlanger does the sounds I think of for a flanger.
Dirt, Hmm, let me see..........

My metal band is basically dead, so I'll join in;

Havent gigged yet, but early stages of a band...and what i'm using now would be my rig if I did gig

Style: Doom
Guitar: Edwards LPC, Ibanez Iceman
Amp: Marshall Super Bass ('74)
Pedalboard: Boss Volume > CAE Wah > Mini Polytune> EQD Grand Orbiter > BAT Quantum Mystic > EQD Ghost Echo > EQD Disaster Transporter Snr
There's a BAT Pharaoh on my board too, but for gigging I would take that off, as the QM does all the dirt I need...I also think I may need a small buffer at the front of the chain when I start using longer cables at gigs...or get a Boss tuner at the start of the chain.
Still makes me giggle...
lol, why?!
Here is what I'm rocking right now:
