Ever seen the Sustainiac before? You get a pedal with an attachable resonator that attaches to your headstock, letting you get feedback/sustain without crazy loud volume. There's even a stomp switch so you can change which set of harmonics should dominate the feedback. Or they do a stealth model where your it's built into your guitar/bass, the signal from the bridge pickup controls an electromagnetic device attached to the neck pickup. Looks interesting, good for drone/noise type stuff... [url="http://www.sustainiac.com"]www.sustainiac.com[/url]

He means more like this: [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drone_music"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drone_music[/url] You want fuzz and delay at least! A Whammy or Boss PS-3 would be good to to add some whacky pitch shifting to your drones.

Heh, it's a slippery slope... once you've got those you'll 'need' fuzz, wah, flange, phase, delay, etc...

The Aphex pedal is footswitchable! But really, it's meant to be an always-on sound improver. For a boost you should look into some kind of clean boost pedal or subtle overdrive, maybe even an EQ pedal.

I would go for a subtle overdrive - mines always on for a most songs. Zoom B2 has some great amp models in it, well worth a go if you can pick up a cheap second hand one.

Just reverse the polarity. Oh wait, I've been watching too many Hollywood movies...

I've got the medium one of those. They are very good for the money, and built like a tank. The handle is very comfy too, much better than the thin rubber strap you get on most cases. Inside you get a plywood board sprayed black and some velcro to which you attach your pedals. I screwed rubber feet onto the bottom of the board to raise it so that I could feed cables underneath and also to raise the pedal height which provides better contact between the pedals and the foam in the lid (as the case is pretty deep). I've also got some fluffy speaker cab cloth and spray glue from Maplins which I was gonna fix onto the board to provide 100% covering. They are very bulky though and weigh quite a bit (the xtra large one will kill your arms when loaded with pedals, better get working out!). If you want something slimmer and lighter the Diago boards are great, and the Pedaltrains look pretty cool. But then again, the Spider is hard to beat price wise.

Any 9v pedal power supply will do the job for the EBS - I recommend this one: [url="http://www.johnnyshredfreak.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=8&products_id=12&zenid=3da31de4d6daba39c8b32fde68bf575c"]http://www.johnnyshredfreak.com/store/inde...8b32fde68bf575c[/url] It's very similar to the highly regarded Diago power supply but without the huge price tag. I have one on my board and it powers all of my pedals no problem.

Mark[/quote] Wasn't that the VT1 compressor (I know because I was gonna buy it but was too late!)? This is a kit for the VT1 overdrive.

Dangerboy, that Rusty Box looks interesting! Do you have any clips of it in use? Or any other info would be useful, I can't seem to find much on it!
