My DT10 which I bought about 3 months ago died last week in practice after literally about 10 uses. Trouble is, I can't for the life of me remember where online I bought it from and I've lost the receipt. DOH! They're fine tuners, but I'm quite gutted that mine died after such a short and infrequent amount of use. I'm not sure whether to get another in the long run. Perhaps I was just very unlucky as by most accounts they're reliable and gig worthy. Just dropped some cash on a ISP decimator to tame the slight feedback I get from the BB in between tracks etc. Hopefully it will do it's job well. The only thing I'm worried about is how it performs in bypass mode. So I may end up exclusively putting the BB and ISP in the loop of the VBF2 for bypass reasons. So my signal chain will be - DT10>RC2>LTD>UF01>VBF2>BB>ISP Next on the GAS list : CE-2

Very nice sound on that ray!

Stunning playing bro! Real nice laid back groove.

Cheers bro! I'm loving it mainly for the three gain stages - LTD to UF-01 to BB, it kills and the variety on offer covers all areas I need on that front. I've pretty much exhausted my grit cravings so perhaps you're right on the modulation front. That's why I was thinking CE2, as it's quite subtle and in places would blend right into my style and requirements.

Yeah the AD200 is a cracking amp. Used one recently, it sure is a chunky mo fo!

My current set up is almost my ideal setup. Barge RC2, bluebeard, zoom uf-01, barber LTD, VBF2. Got a custom loop in the works which is gonna be awesome for what i want it to do. Gassing for a CE-2 as well. I should get a pedal board to tidy up a bit, but I can't be bothered at the mo!!

The aphex is an awesome unit. I've stopped using compression recently though, or not using as much anyway. I find I'm getting better results. It's not absolutely essential, it's one of those things you might like to apply here and there. One thing with the aphex though, is that over time with constant pluggng the of inputs can get a little faulty as they're mounted to the circuit board and not the chassis. But if you're careful with your gear then you shouldn't get any issues. My main compressor at the moment is a Barge RC-2. I use it mainly to protect the preamp, and/or to level out intricate playing passages (if I can be bothered ^_^ . )

Spector all the way baybbeeeeeeeee!

I'm using the F1 in yellow. I find it's got a superb sound IMO especially with a tad of overdrive.. Not tried the new stuff though. The R300 as Sug says might be right up your street though.

Yeah good to see things are back on track. Cheers!
