So before sound check at yesterday's gig I replaced some pedals on my travel board...I replaced the Line 6 DL 4 with a Diamond Memory Lane, the MI Audio BB Dlx with a Keeler Designs Push OD, and the CAE Boost with a Diamond Compressor.
Still on the board...
VHT Valvulator, Cry Baby, EB Volume pedal, Psionic Triad and MI Crunch Box.

The Diamond Compressor is perfect for a boost with slight compression...kills on clean amps.
The Keeler Push is the first TS9 type pedal where the tone control makes sense, with clean amps it's a glorious rhythm tone, kick the Compressor in and it's my go to lead sound.
The Memory lane is so cool a delay...the modulation section alone is worth having. Can't believe it took me 2 years to get one since I first heard it.
All of those pedals are total home runs. On tomorrows gig I will toss the Diamond Fireburst OD on the with the Keeler to see how those work together.
Also I used the compressor and another Diamond OD at the NAMM gig into a Super Bass and that also worked glorious.

Modulation delay is my favorite. Where you playing tommorow?
 
Yeah I noticed you had the compressor on a lot of the time! Sounded awesome! Ive never really messed around with a compressor much. :confused:

Didn't hurt that your Super Bass IS money either.
I use that Comp as a slight boost/top end cut...works great.

I used to be a big fan of the Memory Man Deluxe, and with the Line 6 DL I usually ended up using their Analog delay with modulation setting but it was nowhere near as warm as the Memory Lane.
 
So what didn't you like about the MI audio Blue Boy Deluxe?


I have heard really good things about that Diamond compressor. When I was compressor shopping it was between that and a Barber Tone Press. I went with the Tone press....
 
Hey Ed, I've been in the market for a good compressor....the Diamond sound pretty good? Do you use it with high gain as a solo boost, or for cleans only?

I used it very seldom for high gain, I usually use it with a crunchy rhythm tone to give it more push.

I remember hearing your Emma Reezafratzit my first NAMM a few years back. That pedal freaking rocked thru the Flexi. I still think about adding one to my board once in a while.

The Reeza is permanently mounted in my rack. :)
 
So where do you set the internal trim pot on your crunch box? I found it to be a little buzzy stock, so I fiddled with it and turned it down. I am considering drilling a whole in the case and making a knob for it as it changed the sound a good deal.
