Not really. I'm in spring cleaning / board simplifying mode.

Catalinbread Katzenkonig Distortion/Fuzz. Basically the front of a Tone Bender with back of a Rat. By balancing the Input and Gain controls, you can dial in either sound, or something in between. Great, versatile 2-in-1 pedal saves board space. Only a few months old, never gigged, home use only. Excellent condition, includes original box, paperwork and pouch. $120 plus $12 shipping to CONUS. Will ship elsewhere, just PM me for rates. I have other pedals for sale and will combined shipping if you buy more than one.

Keeley Halo Dual Delay Pedal in "Andy Apple Red". Andy Timmons signature delay sound, with room for 8 presets. Mono or stereo, with additional jacks for external switch control and expression pedal. Excellent condition, includes original box, paperwork and sticker. $200 plus $12 shipping to CONUS. Will ship elsewhere, just PM me for rates. I have other pedals for sale and will combined shipping if you buy more than one.

Fender Hammertone Octave Fuzz. Not a clone, but does a respectable imitation of the Univox SuperFuzz. Of course, the purple knobs and lettering make it that much more psychedelic. For a budget line, the Hammertone series are great pedals. Heavy-duty metals enclosures, top-mounted jacks, coin-slotted thumbscrew to open (similar to TC Electronics enclosures). Impressive quality with pro-ish features for affordable prices. Excellent condition, home use only, includes original box and paperwork. $40 plus $12 shipping. Dunlop FFM3 Fuzz Face Mini Jimi Hendrix Version. Faithful recreation of the classic Fuzz Face in a size that fits on your pedalboard and with a standard 9-volt Boss-style power jack. Home use almost exclusively (I think I played one gig with it on my board.) Excellent condition, includes original box, paperwork and sticker. $100 plus $12 shipping. TC Electronic Sub 'N' Up Mini Octave Pedal. Great TC octave effects and pro-grade construction in a bare-bones mini format. Accepts Toneprints from the TC website, or custom one you develop yourself. Excellent condition, home use only, includes original box, paperwork and sticker. $60 plus $12 shipping. Shipping quoted to CONUS, but I will ship elsewhere, just PM me for rates. I will combined shipping if you buy more than one.

I vote for two more strings.

I have a good friend whom owns a Helios. I’ve tried it, it’s a nice amp. He gigs with a Kemper profile of it. Why not the real thing?

Bohlinger’s recent Jack White Rig Rundown is interesting and hilarious. He was in the past the band leader/ music director for several big network TV country music shows.

John Siomos had a couple of good ones on Frampton Comes Alive. He opens the album with a nice single-measure intro to Something’s Happening, and keeps things moving while Frampton swaps his acoustic for his LP, kicking off I’ll Give You Money.

I love big, doomy fuzz when I hear it on records but have no need for it on my gigging board. Still, it’d be nice to have such a pedal around, if it’s not too expensive. This thread inspired me to buy a used Corcosa off Reverb. For under a hunnert, why not?

I was bummed that I missed her Toronto show last weekend but we had a gig that night. “All Born Screaming” has been on heavy rotation in my car lately.

Is that a Prototype I spy? Wikipedia leads me to believe that's Jason Faulkner playing it.

I watched it today. Them boys know a bit about geetarz.

My main OD/solo boost is my BB Preamp, running into a crunched-up “Marshall” (either my 18 Watter clone or more recently my Quilter Superblock UK mini-amp), but for other sounds I love my DIY paisley Rat. Internally, it’s a clone of a typical ‘80s LM308 small box. I use it with drive up and volume down whenever I need a big wall of distorted sound but without the volume boost that the BB gives me. Power chords that need to sit underneath everything else. Or, if I want a more fuzz-like singing lead sound, I might turn up the Rat’s volume on occasion, or simply boost it with the Stratoblaster (black pedal, top left). The Rat is my all-purpose Swiss Army dirt box. (Yes, the pedals are all wet. It rained on yesterday’s gig.)

+1 to Santellavision’s Quilter suggestion. I just replaced by 1-12” 18 Watter clone with a Superblock UK. The Quilter sounds great and only cost $300. It let me cut the weight of my rig nearly in half (back trouble). My backup is a Vox MV50 Rock, another SS class D mini amp that sounds great and weighs an costs next to nothing.

Hmm. I might be bc able to do Rochester on Oct 16 but I’m not making any long-term plans until after I wake up from the kidney surgery next week.
