The Rat, EQ and Big Muff are awesome by themselves. The only thing I would add is a delay and reverb pedal. Sweet!

You may recall, a while back on the MF I was thinking about a reverb+delay pedal for whenever I didn't feel like draggin the whole flightcase along. I looked at some cheapies, some kits, the Boss RE-2 (still have a soft spot for that one). Ultimately, I opted for another smaller flightcase (more like a 2U briefcase, really) and another GX-700 for my reverb/delay needs. More configurable, patches, re-ordering of effects, easy transfer from the other unit, etc.
They are still out there used. It has a wide range of selectable tones and tweaks. Pretty versatile for 4 dirt presets in a smallish box. I haven’t used it in years. I went almost all Boss for a while and have now switched to the Fender Tone Master Pro modeler. It does everything I want in a compact, easy to use, design.

I slapped together a small board to go in the back of a combo. I grabbed a tuner and 5 plug wire, now everything is powered and I have an extra plug so I can add a pedal if needed. (When not in use, I stick it in a hole I drilled to keep it clean.) One shot in the front end, just for fun and playing around. She works pretty good and is all I need 99% of the time.

No, it's HDPE & UHMW I had laying around the shop. It is very rugged, you could never hurt it in normal use. The board would be semi flexible if not for the bar I screwed on. I just drill tight holes and tap in some ny-lock nut's, so they can't spin, and use SS screws. I use a piece of wire cover just to keep the wires tidy. Sometimes I use a boat cleat for wires when not in use.

Wow, I bet that polycarbonate is almost indestructible.

Yeah, it's tough stuff. I still have a half a dozen 2'x2' sheets and I would give you one if needed, but the shipping would be more than the plastic. I had some clear stuff that was bullet proof, although it didn't like the 454 Casull to much. That was 1.25" bank teller window material. Then I had some laminated stuff that was only .75" but would stop a 5.56 even right on the edge. That stuff was over $2,000 a sheet and it was a long time ago.

I’m loving these 3 in front of the 2203x.
Just got a second Light Speed. Love the feel under the fingers.

I want the Blues Breaker. No more copies. I've got the Guv RI and it rocks. I'm glad Marshall RI'd these same versions. Sooner or later I'll have one. The copies(Blues Disorder/Blue Note/Blues Breaker 2) ain't doing it for me.As if my JVM410 didn't have enough gain, these have been collected over years. I needed to get them all on one board.

You just taught me how to use my haunting mids! I also use an OD into a boost, but I've never put the HM at the end. I've had the pedal for a while now and it never really impressed me, but I just put mine at the end and it's very subtle, but it does something special there. I just had the best little jam session I've had in a long time.

Yah Dirty. I tried it in the loop and it didn't sound good enuff to use it there. Put it in front and bam. I like running it as a stand alone with the Marshall. Just adds this thang to it. It does mix well with the other pedals if stacking is fun for peeps.You just taught me how to use my haunting mids! I also use an OD into a boost, but I've never put the HM at the end.

Big fan of haunting the mids in my 2203x.

I have to add gain in front of my Origin to get it where I need it for metal. I don't always use both pedals (OD and boost) at the same time unless I'm going for my heaviest metal tones. In that situation the HM seemed to enhance the feel and I don't know how to describe what else it does, but it's good. I only used it for about an hour this way and I copped your settings so I have some experimenting to do.

I haven't tried it on my Ori. I like what it does with the 2203x so much i haven't been interested in trying with the others. It is subtle and the nuance feels/sounds great.
Look forward to your settings and how it does for you.

It is subtle. When I first put in on and played (switching it on and off) I thought it wasn't doing anything, but after I left it on for a while and then turned it off I was like, ah...I get it now.
