If you have the Gibson Explorer you gotta have this in the neck position
When you buy a $1100 guitar you gotta go the extra mile & put a EMG 81 in the bridge and this one in the neck. Love the tones you can get from this pickup when you rip it up & getcha pull. I know that's a DimeBag reference but gotta remember the greats DLA \m/(-_-)\m/

Love the Pearly Gates
This pickup is great with my DimeBucker. They complement each other very well. Tones come through and articulate very well. The more you attack your strings the more it comes through the Pearly Gates. Nice smooth solos area also great when you have this pickup on your guitar.

I love the EMG 81's
I have 2 of these pickups. I have both in the bridge position of my Gibson Explorer and my Fender Tele \m/(-_-)\m/

I got this for the bridge of my DimeBolt
I didn't want a Bill Lawrence for my Dime so I put this pickup in the bridge to complement the Pearly Gates I had put in the neck position. I know, I still need a OG Floyd Rose for the DimeBolt.

For my Telecaster named Chieftain (Neck Position)
I put this in the neck position of my Tele to complement the EMG 81 I had put in the bridge. SO awesome and SO smooth these two.

The Wah I've had since '98
I -got this Wah along with my DimeBolt, a MT-2 and my little Park/Marshall. I played all day and through the night but longed for more tone and heavier riffs so I played with what I had. I am eventually going to part with this and get a Dime Crybaby Wah. Everything's gotta match, right? 1966-2004 DLA \m/(-_-)\m/

I love the Boss GE-7
This is my one and only guitar EQ I will use. I plan on adding a Boss EQ for bass. I think it's the GEB-7, so I can get that low end out of my guitar sound/tone. \m/

When I need distortion for '78 I go with the MXR '78
This little pedal has a plethora of tones. I heard a guy get early Metallica out of this little guy. No telling what he was playing or playing out of. Sounded good though. Plus I saw it on CL for cheap \m/

When I need a Boost/Line Driver I go with this one
I like the CAE/MXR Boost/Line Driver. It makes the sounds I need to Boost come alive. Like my OG Marshall BluesBreaker along with my Boss GE-7.

I know...I know!! This dude already has a Marshall BluesBreaker
Yes, I do have a Marshall BluesBreaker but this guy in Orange County had one of these on CL. I saw how much he wanted so I contacted him and we met up and made the exchange. The MrBlack sounds awesome & I'm so glad that I contacted the guy. You can't have too many OD's/Distortions...right?? I think I might be getting GAS guys...help!! Lol, don't help I like buying them, lol. Plus it also makes my tone sound a lot better. Rock on \m/(-_-)\m/

When it comes to Compression it's gotta be Super
I knew what kind of Compressor pedal I wanted. It was the Ross Compressor but as musicians we all know how much they along with the AnalogMan Compressor pedals cost. So I decided to go with the MXR. I've only had it for about 3 weeks and it's a great compressor pedal. I won't got with another unless AnalogMan gives me one for free. C'Mon Mike!!! \m/ (-_-) \m/

This thing keeps my pedals & rig silent
I had to go with the MXR Noise Gate, I am a utilitarian so this thing is great with me. I always buy superior products and never buy inferior products. This is the gate I go with.

My tuner of choice
When I was looking for a tuner this is the tuner that I went with. It has never failed me or did me dirty. Also its on a lot of the pedalboards of the metal gods I listen to \m/ (-_-) \m/

This thing is built like a tank
I got this pedal because I like Seymour Duncan as a pickup builder and wanted to hear what a distortion pedal that had his name on it sounded like. It's not that bad, I like it. I get a lot of feedback from this and the others because 2/3 of my guitars have active pickups and my Dimebolt has the Dimebucker.

If I have the DimeBolt I gotta have the Distortion Pedal
I got this pedal back in 2006 for my pedalboard. This pedal is also a harsh mistress. I run my NoiseGate along with it to cut down on the hiss and any other noises. 1966-2004 \M/ DLA

I love having a Marshall BluesBreaker...THE TONES!!!
I got this bad boy off of Reverb and love the tones I can get from it with a Boss 7-Band EQ. I just keep the bands flat and raise the level. Works great as a booster as do a lot of other things on my board. I switched the OG knobs for some blue MXR knobs, looks badass!!! \m/ (-_-) \m/

ABY Switcher
I added this to my pedalboard just in case I wanted to play with a buddy into one amp or I wanted to play through both of my amps.

The infamous MT-2
I've this pedal since 1998 and I just had it modded by AnalogMan. I'm just waiting for it to come back from Mike @ AnalogMan. I hope it sounds fucking awesome. I think it's very harsh with the mids. I do know she is a fickle creature. Let's rock MT-2 \m/

The MXR Blue Box is trippy \m/ (-_-) \m/
You can get some really weird noises out of this little pedal. I like the fuzz I can get out of it. I noticed a long time ago DimeBag Darrell had this on his pedalboard. Kind of know where he got his fuzz from. It could have been a blue Arbiter Fuzz Face too.

Gnarley tones out of this bad boy
I noticed that Buzz from the Melvin's had this on his pedalboard, SO I thought I'd add it to mine. When I pair it with my other pedals I can get some grit and chunk out of my amp. I know I need to add a Boss Bass 7-band EQ with this pedal.
