@ kulas

u two chose 2 gain/drive pedals, tell us how u use them in a typical gig, which one is for which?

2 drive pedals, 2-3 gain stages. the TS-9 for rhythm work, the DS-1 for heavier rhythm work, both at the same time for lead work, the TS-9 acting as booster for the DS-1.

cool info..mind sharing even just  the ts9 setting in ur setup?  :-) ahem that makes me think, of
course in ur setup  ts9 works as a rhythm crunch tone but if the same setting will be a booster (in this case to the ds-1) the gain will slightly higher i mean boosting is like almost turning of the drive and more level and tone so how can u get crunch without driving it for your rhythm tone?..i'm confused hehe..secret ba settings? i too have 2 gain/drive pedals but the one is not for booster i have them for different use kaya i'm curious...or is it dependent on the DS1 setting?

cool guitar,cool! 2 gain drive pedals again so tell us which one is for which? ei check out my earlier post why i chose 3 effects only..hehe madami na pala sau un :-D
the miaudio is the main crunch pedal providing medium to high gain crunch. the gain knob is usually set from 10 to 12 o'clock, depending on how much i feel i need. i turn it up or down in between songs. same goes for the tone knob.

the sobbat drivebreaker db3 is for light crunch. drive and tone usually set to 12 o'clock.

solo boost comes from the db3's boost mode. it adds a bit of extra dirt too.

i sometimes use them together for higher gain stuff.

1 guitar? it will depend on my mood. either its my rj strat or my franken-sg.

3 pedals? hmm it depends. gig-wise, i would need to know our set list in advance, then sort out what i need. pi guess staple na yung ts7 sa set-up ko. now that leaves me 2 more pedals (assuming other gadgets like tuners and psus dont count).

normally the 2 pedals would go to:
a. flanger
b. delay or chorus

1 amp? kung meron, fender bassman. yung tweed ah. kaso wala akong ganun. in that case, amps will depend on whats on the venue. kung sa bahay, yung maliit kong practice amp. yun na yun.

@ ubersam

tell us more about ur guitar choice and what kind of music, and ur choice of 3 stomps bro that's basic as it can get but at the same time i can almost hear it's heavy too!
...
Ok, the guitar I listed is the first Ibanez I ever bought. Of my four guitars, it is my fav go-to guitar. I have shielded the p-up and control cavities with copper tape, replaced the stock p-ups with Dimarzio p-ups. It has an Air Norton in the neck, VirtuAL in the middle, and a Steve's Special in the bridge.

I bought the Road King II around June 2006 as a simpler alternative to my rack setup. It is like having four different amps, or one clean amp and three different dirt/distortion pedals plus reverb.

I have not used a dirt/dist pedal ever since I switched to a rack setup around 1999/2000. I don't really need one now because of the amps dirt/dist capabilities. So I just listed the amp's controller as Pedal 1 because you can think of it as three different dist/dirt pedals plus reverb.

Pedal 2: The ISP Decimator is one of the best noise gates available. I used it in the past to feed my rack preamp a clean signal. I have not used it with the RKII though.

Pedal 3: The modded wah actually belongs to someone else who had me mod it for him. It is a Dunlop Crybaby which has been modded to true hardwire bypass, adjustable Q (voice), adjustable gain (which also increases the bass response), and selectable sweep range (from treble-y to low-midrange-y), a switchable taper mod (traditional Hotz-Potz taper to simulated Icar taper), and most importantly: an Ultra-Bright Blue indicator LED.

We play anywhere from soft ballad-y stuff to heavy hard rock stuff. We do not really play any brutally heavy type stuff but I have used the RKII's Channel 4 on modern setting on some songs. If I tell you where we play this stuff, you probably will not believe me. Are you ready for this? We play in church (check out dreamcenter.org or angelustemple.org).

^^^simple lang naman set up ko. BM for lite crunch sound, PG rytthm tones, then boost with SD 2 with added gain for smoother legato-ish application, then for heavy rythm and lead tones, same BM set up but boosted with SD 2's LEAD channel.

Eto sa akin:

Fender Stratocaster Maple Fingerboard w/ EMG SA set,EXG and SPC

ProCo Deucetone RAT
Boss RV-3
Behringer EQ700

Fender Blues Junior

I'd go with this set-up since
-I love the stratocaster
-I love the bite of RATs
-I can't do solos without reverb and delay
-I don't like excessive highs even with the RAT filter(low-pass filter) turned all the way up
-I love the Blues Junior because of it's unparalleled fender tone(even beats the Hot Rod Deluxe and Blues Deluxe! imho)and its small size/lightweight but can be very loud! :wink:

I have all of those btw except for the RV-3, I use a multi for my mod effects. :-)

@ cumbersome

yup of course pinaka limited ung no fx,pero i think mas limited ung 1 acoustic only no amp just going to gig with just it and micing it up stright to PA!!!! :evil: and of course i know majority of us here are electric players with average of having 1 or 2 guitars and then 1-3,4,55,6,7,8,9 effects pedals and 1 or 2 amps :evil: hehehe...kaya for many downsizing ur rig/setup into 1 guitar,3 stomps and 1 amp is pretty limiting,pero the thing hir is what if and can you still getaway with it? so if ever u will take a 2nd look @ ur rig and can say: kaya ko pala ng simple setup!!!



I actually prefer doing acoustic gigs with just the guitar and a DI box direct to the PA. As for your 'minimized setup', i'd use a Strat plugged into a Classic 30, with a TS808 boosted by an OD-3 and modulated by a DD3.

this is easy.

Guitar = washburn dimebag darell signature

Stompbox 1 = MXR smartgate

Stompbox 2 = Fulltone Choralflange

Stompbox 3 = line 6 echopark

Amp = mesa boogie triple rectifier (of course i dont own this) ... footswitches arent counted as stomp boxes, right? im glad we have the gain problem solved, hehehe....

*thats my dream set up and i dont own any of them except for the guitar

-*-

realistically speaking:

guitar = washburn dimebag

stompbox 1 = BBE sonic stomp

stompbox 2 = MT2 bakemono

stompbox 3 = errr... believe it or not i dont have a 3rd stompbox in real life .. errr, century chorus na lang (wala ng iba eh)

amp = b52 2x12 LG ... it has reverb, chorus and 2 overdrive modes as a footswitch.
