Very cool pic...So, after 36 hours of frustration with these bastard pedals, I have got back to good basic sounds and some fun:
Please help me with my pedalboard...

This LP is making me real hoe-knee...He also had one of the limited edition Gibson Jimmy Page Signature LP, and it was gorgeous (no, I didn't even ask if I could play it...).
Is that suppose to be JP's signature on the pickguard?Glad you included those really cool picks in the pics to get an idea how compact the MXR Brick is. Well done!

^ no! (Well, maybe to the pedalboard and some pedals...)
I suppose so, the guitar just looked fantastic in person (so to speak). The LP I played was a Classic, a few years old, and was really nice - light and easy to play; I much prefered it to a goldtop classic I tried when I bought the SG jnr. Maybe I should start looking at second hand LPs, just playing them and finding one I like? After playing just P90s for a while, the oomph of the humbuckers was really nice; I have been negligent.

Abject failure...
An absolute waste of time and money.
I put it all together, and every sound detracts from the basic SG into front end with amp boost. Maybe a reverb/delay is nice, but extremely noisy in the fx loop when the boost is engaged, so I'll just be keeping one reverb to put into the front of the amp and that's it.
I didn't deconstruct the board, as I thought I'd leave it a couple of days and try again, but I can't see where improvements can be made other than a small amount of reverb and or delay. To be fair to Marshall, the speaker is a lot better than the speaker in the DSL 5, so really nothing needs changing to get nice sounds.
Yamaha THR 10 for practicing (maybe with headphones at times although I've never liked playing with headphones on) then the Marshall when the wife goes out or I take it out somewhere and turn it up.

What amp are you playing the pedal board through? Maybe you need to try a different amp. All amps don't do well with pedals...or so I've heard.

BOTH great amps Grump--
I too RARELY use my "pedal board" --- mostly only when I use my 5 watt tube head that doesnt have gain or reverb---
when I use the other amps-- that have those 2 items--- I find no NEED for pedals--- I LIKE the tone of the guitar -- and the amp-- a simple fool perhaps---
but a happy one----
ENjoy --- fiddle knobs less/play more

How does your experience compare to what you see and hear from this following video demo?

My thoughts are early Marshall JTM 45/100 have the best clean sound

from @67plexi post 54 above.
"Sometimes we had to tell Jimi to keep talking to the crowd for a while, while we changed the tubes in the guitar amplifier because they did not last long, only one, or one and a half shows, perhaps, where they KT66 deuce. "
DAMN.
from Geronimo:
"The early tones of Hendrix, Free, Cream and others are readily available for those who have trained their hands and hearts in the musical sense."
Double DAMN!
My heart is in but my hands cant back it up.

To be fair though, those tones have been beaten to death by a million guitar players. There's nothing wrong with those sounds, but they seem so...dated now. I mean, I get nostalgic for that music from time to time, it's what I grew up with after all, but I really don't want to sound like those guys. I want to make a sound nobody's heard before, just like they did.
