I thought it seemed relevant to post this here.

I just rearranged my gigging board after I bought my Bogner Shiva. Thanks for all your help in making my tone dreams come true, Ryan.

SDD + miniberator + amp reverb? Holy ambience, Batman!!

Looks nice.

I like the plaid-like cleanness.

I just realized how that looked haha. Bogner actually gives you the same footswitch for your amp whether or not you buy one that has reverb, so essentially, the reverb switch doesn't do anything, so my ambiance is all provided by the SDD and Miniberator. Also, I'm just leaving the boost for the amp on all the time to goose it a bit more so I can get a more aggressive tone, and then I'm using the Cleanness as a solo boost, so I'm not using two solo boosts also. I realize now it kind of looks a bit excessive if you don't know how I'm running my amp haha.

Thanks a lot! The Cleanness is my newest Dr. Scientist pedal, and I really love how it looks. Tanya went above and beyond with all three of the pedals I've got on this board though.

The little altoids box, does that have any function?

It's where he keeps the funk. And ruffies.

Once again - snazzy board is snazzy

Picks, allen wrench, etc would be my guess...other than the aforementioned "funk"

Yah, I know the owner of Bogner, I'm buddies with is son, we jammed at his house once, it was awesome. I played through a Bogner Alchemist 2x10 combo, totally worth the money- it has delay reverb and (duh) distortion, and all footswitchable!

These answers are all correct (and thanks, t-rey!). I normally just throw a ton of picks, and my earplugs in the Altoids tin so that there's no risk of me getting to a show and realizing I've forgotten picks or earplugs. Just something simple I picked up a year or so back from some people on Harmony-Central. Also, it helps that I can keep a funky ball of tits from outer space in there, as Jero so kindly pointed out.

Well shoot.. that's a pretty nice board, Blake!

So how did the Charlie costume go over on Halloween? Did you 'pretend' to huff glue all night? *wink wink* *nudge nudge*

Thanks a lot, Ryan. I've been getting a lot of compliments on it for Tanya's awesome artwork, and using it in practice the other day, it sounded even better than it looks. Holy crap though. I'm used to using The Cleanness in front of my amp, so I get a bit of a volume boost, but it's mostly just making the amp distort more, but throwing it in the effects loop? Holy crap. I turned it on with the volume like half way up, and I thought my chest was going to collapse on itself. LOTS of volume on tap when you throw it in the loop.


As for the Charlie costume, I'd say it went pretty well. (Sadly I don't have any pictures from after I messed up my hair to make it more Charlie-esque, but at least I got to get drunk and wear underwear in public all night. )

Haha, that's awesome Blake! What a fun costume! You can get away with wearing long john's out in public in Canada in winter. (you guys call them long john's?)
