Here's my current set-up:

Pro One > Boss HR-2 > Magic Meter > Moog Ring Mod > Moog Delay > Malekko Spring Chicken > Sonic Crayon Hollow Earth > Drasp DL4 > TSP TeaspoonCAS > RCA400 Film Projector 1x15 ~10W tube amp
And then sometimes I play that LSL Topanga through some stuff too.
Hey kosta, how do you like the meter with guitar? How would you describe the magic mode?
Everything in that pic is so awesome.

MM with guitar is killer! It's just super usable. You can do all kinds of subtle tone-shaping stuff to clean'ish boosts to full-on super heavy blown out sludgy riffing stuff. It's pretty badass. Like all of Tom's stuff it's just really playable. Doesn't smother your instrument's tone either.
As for the switch, I haven't stacked it much with guitar yet, so I haven't unlocked the magic yet actually. Need to experiment with that a bit more still. I definitely recommend the pedal though. You could use at the end of your chain to get your tone just where you want it and to recover any lost gain earlier in the chain, or you could use at the begin to pummel everything after it. Good stuff.

Dig that! How do you like the Ovation? I want a Preacher 12 string real bad...
Love it.I got short fingers and used to love the Mustang bridges. But as I've been playing more spread out chords it has actually become more hindering. The Ovation maybe the best neck I have played on. I can just glide around it. Last owner put a humbucker in the middle spot which I may replace. The original pups are amazing. I'm keeping my eyes out for a Preacher now too.
