I’ve long been fascinated by this pedal. What amp(s) were you playing it through? Did you rely on the pedal as your primary distortion/boost function? What other pedals (if any) did you pair it with?

My amp was a Marshall 100 w and this pedal was my primary source of distortion. It sounded really good though. I could almost make this puppy growl.I’ve long been fascinated by this pedal.

Always been curious about Zvex. How is it?
I felt the same way too about pedalboards. Ive been collecting them for about two years now, since I was able to...well, not kill my wallet so badly. I've only recently been putting them together. I just took a whole weekend and was like "that's it, I'm gonna learn this". So far, not as bad as I thought. It's been fun.I have given up on my pedal board. It’s in a million pieces in a box. I am feeling rather intimidated trying to do it myself but what is the worse that could happen?
When my pedal board was in order, it provided me with so many crazy sounds. I used to love to experimenting.
I have a boutique amp now. I am set but not for life. I really want a Mesa Boogie. That or a Egnater 30
Bummer. However, try doing it. It looks intimidating but it's not that bad. There's general guidelines for it, but really there is no wrong way to set it up. You can do it!Well the other guitar player was going to put it together for me. That’s not happening anymore.
Honestly I am going to try myself.
Also look up some some other peoples boards too. Can give you some ideas. Eric Johnson likes running delay into the amp instead of via an fx loop, which is kinda unorthodox but the results are...well, you know.If worse come to worse I will phone my local guitar shop and ask for guidance. And if the shite really hits the fan then I will take it to my local music store and get them to do it.
What pedals do you have?So what order do you put them in?
The way mine is setup is like this, and disclosure...it's a bit messy. I had to redo it quickly to have it ready for a gig because something went haywire.So what order do you put them in?
This is currently what is on my board in order after the guitar:The way mine is setup is like this, and disclosure...it's a bit messy. I had to redo it quickly to have it ready for a gig because something went haywire.
Wah and envelope filters first, followed by compression. Next are your drive pedals. This can sorta be any order... technically, but the suggested path is clean boost, od, distortion, fuzz. On mine I just stage OD pedals of various settings into each other. Next comes chorus, flange, and reverb/delay. I go delay into reverb, but is subjective.
Sure, but chasing down rabbit holes is my favorite thing!While I do love pedal boards and how sound enhancing they can be. That’s another rabbit hole for me personally.
That's pretty much how I do it too.The way mine is setup is like this, and disclosure...it's a bit messy. I had to redo it quickly to have it ready for a gig because something went haywire.

Its a fun rabbit hole to go explore. There are several Electro Harmonix pedals I'd really love to try like the Sitar one and the keyboard thing.While I do love pedal boards and how sound enhancing they can be. That’s another rabbit hole for me personally.
