The stoner/doom continues but we kicked the lead guitarist so I currently have a huge pocket (musically, not financially sadly) Getting some seriously interesting vibes with a Boss PH-3 combined with the ODB-3: Flitting between drop-D rumblings and trippy psychedelic fills above the 12th fret (on the G, obviously!)
Something about this makes me think school project with recycled parts (and neck)…maybe just my POV as it remins me of my A-level design project!
There’s a lot more photos on Photobucket and the neck definitely looks ‘better’ to me.
The knobs alone would have got it in this thread for me (it not being a retro toaster) but the ‘Decoupage’ job… 😯
I have a Boss DS-1, for the cost it’s a nice pedal (even better if you can pick it up second hand, mine was £30ish GBP!) For me it’s a bit too much but that’s because I want fuzzy-grunt/overdrive and the DS-1 is definitely distortion, for metal stuff though, I like it.
However, we’re going on Alexander’s assumption with the metal thing…what genre/style are you thinking of playing? I use the Boss ODB-3 bass overdrive for fuzzy stoner-rock and it’s gorgeous, again pawn-shop £30ish, very flexible pedal, if it’s guitar brethren is anything similar and you’re looking for more of a rock vibe, worth a play.Personally I wouldn’t run distortion and overdrive, haven’t tried it I must admit, but I think you’d lose too much clarity…
Tasteful chorus can work nicely and yeah, as Alexander said, delay if you want the more shreddy thing…
Lastly, if you’ve got the guts (not sure I could do it…) Go to a registered Boss supplier, most have a pedal board setup of all the pedals and a bunch of patch leads allowing you to try before you buy.
Strange how beauty is so much more subjective than uglyness…can see where you’re coming from but couldn’t call any of these beautiful, could rate the craftsmanship etc…but on ‘looks’ alone, I prefer my ‘Christine’

Beauty is in the eye of the beer-holder and all that. 😀
Awesome finds Scott (if I can take the liberty of calling you that, still find it weird to call 1BL Oz!)
The switchy one is the antithesis of the bass I want: 2 pups, 3-way switch, master volume, fin. Not even sure if I need the volume…
Having said that, quite fancy strapping a Chaos Pad on a la Matt Bellamy! There’s been one hanging around a certain pawn shop in Leeds for a year or two now for about £80 I think…really don’t need…but…
Used this one again to promote your channel on my Facebook! Have a few friends learning guitar at the moment and personally I don’t think you can beat your lessons!
Hope all’s good.
