Interesting little piece.

Interesting little piece, no strong impact on sound but it adds that little tremolo that can sound really nice and mellow. Good for "cherry on the top" building of the sound.

Beautiful chorus & echo

Beautiful chorus / echo int the vain of most avantgarde sounds of eighties alternative/goth rock. Really useful pedal if you are into it.

Tuner with little history.

I got this by a friend and latter he told me that it was used in recording sessions of one world famous band.

Really good stuff.

Serious phaser. No more, no less. Love the sound and it "breathes" good in any mode.

Great pedal

Really sophisticated Russian piece that I use for semigain sound, Controls are great, sound is warm and creamy, but without loss of definition.

Pure bliss.

What to say about this piece of history that has not been said. Truly magical tone, a king of distorsions, the character of tone is beautiful.

My mixer.

Pretty basic mixer, with minimal options. But it does the job for me for home recording and it`s reliable.

My second microphone.

To be honest, I am kinda disappointed with this microphone. I bought it somewhere in 2005., when I started doing some amateur demo recordings for my soul. It doesn`t handle higher tones well in my opinion, and recording always sounded somewhat uneditable with this one. When I bought Shure Beta 57 I almost forgot this one.

My microphone.

I just adore this baby. I recorded so much material with it("Covek Peva Posle Rata", "Lov Na Vukove", "Prica O Zeleznickom Mostu" as a whole with this one). It works great with guitar recording, even vocal with some later plugins of course. I even carry it on gigs to sing on it from time to time.

great snare mic and has a definite sound as a guitar mic, along with the audix i5 I vastly prefer it to a straightup 57 on a guitar cab

velibor_nikolic

Completely agree :)

My power supply.

I have this little trinket for years, an it never let me down. It can easily supply eight pedals. Of course, delay is powered on it owns supply. I totally recommend this.

Third distortion.

I got this as a gift for my 30th birthday from Maks, the frontman of Endorfin. It is a brutal pedal, it was used as a "noise" pedal, combining with other two distortion pedals in the board it really made hell on live shows. But on its own, the tone was not so good and warm as Jackhammer`s so I ditched it out eventually from the pedalboard. It was used on second part of Sunce Od Krvi song, and also on Inkvizitor and parts of Most Je Presao Reku.

My first amp.

My first amp. It was made for me by my father, who is an electrician, somewhere in 1999. It has very precise sound, 60 Watts, and two quality Celestion speakers,. It was used on first Jewy Sabatay album, and on "Hang The Ghost" and "Summer Monstrous" as a whole, also on Jewy Sabatay`s final album(mostly as a "carpet" behind Laney which reamped the guitar sound). But after I bought Peavey Valve King I almost completely retired it. Only exeption is the solo guitar part on Beskicmenjak on "Lov Na Vukove", which was recorded on this little beast. This is not an original picture of amp, since I dont have one. I found similar photo on the internet and edited it to look alike my amp.

House practice amp.

This small piece of wood and metal does quite good in room conditions. For it`s size, it can be very loud without losing much of the quality, I even recorded some solo stuff with it. Small surprise.

My Reverb.

Since I am the only guitar in the band, and Brigand sound needs to be heavy and rich to make sense, my reverb pedal is almost always turned on. It`s not the best verb on the field, but is far for worst. I regularly use church mod, which gives me that "doomy" sound. Also, I uploaded Jonsi from Sigur Ros mode with Toneprint app, and I use that mode when I need some serious feedback sound.

My tremolo.

A special piece in my rig. Similar to DOD Ice Box, It doesn`t change guitar sound color too dramatically, but what it does, it makes your guitar sound double the price. Rotary mode is something I seriously count on in the future works. Beautiful stuff.

My primary distortion.

That`s what I consider distortion with balls. Has everything, and I use it all the time. Great adaptabiity and I never had problem adjusting it on various amps I used on gigs.

My secondary distortion.

This one I got from Ilija, Brigand bassist, as a gift somewhere in 2011. It`s pretty good for semi gain, and for microphonia noise(which I use frequently) with primary distortion turned on, but on full gain is very muted on higher freq and dull sounding.

My phaser.

Although bought in same breath and money as famous crappy Behringer flanger, this one is slightly better, an it does sound like a phaser, so I use it often.

velibor_nikolic

My "flanger"

I bought this somewhere in 2007. for 1000 dinars(around 10$). And that tells all. Its not a real flanger, its something. But that "something" found it`s way on songs like Samostrel, Nevena, Sunce Od Krvi. I am not using it regularly, not for everyone.

the word dinar is from the latin dinarius (also the toor of Spanish dinero)... its so awesome that there are nations formerly a part of or associated with the roman or byzantine empire 500 to 2000 years ago that are using currency that sues the same name.

velibor_nikolic

Yeah. Its official banknote in Serbia for a very, very long time :)

My wah.

I am not a "wah-man", but even I need this sometimes. I owned Stagg previously and it sucked seriously, so this really saved my day when I play wah. Good controls, good sound.
