    Show off your Pedalboard!!

    ended up getting rid of the muff and the iStomps (sounds like a band name.... :rofl:) went with the Mobius for all my modulation needs. OD/Dist is handled by the MO / POT and Ivy distortion. the Prince of tone is running at 18v (just doubled up two of the isolator outputs from the gigrig)...

    My latest work in progress. Metro 16 board. The iStomp next to the MO is just about to replaced with a prince of tone. The other one will probably be replaced with a boss rc-3 loop station. Also toying with the idea of replacing the Korg tuner with a couple of micro pedals possibly a...

    Cheap pickups...What's your story

    2013 Epiphone Prophecy Custom Plus GX - Upgrade

    The Epi Prophecy Series (both the GX and EX) have quilted tops and the same pearled knobs, just liked the look rather than a flame top. as for price... currently the total is running at £915 (about $1,400)... essentially the mods are the same price as the purchase cost of the guitar :facepalm:
