In which I show everyone my Big Muff Pi

Get it. Get it any way you can. That's been my motto as I've acquired a string of guitar effects over the last several months. Now, my rig can be shown.

Behold:

1) The signal enters the chain at my Digitech RP50 (youtube demo), which I got at a pawn shop for $15 because the guy did not know what it was either. It has about 40 different effects and each one is adjustable. Except I rarely use it for its effects. I use it for its electronic tuner function, which is why it is the first effect in the chain and why it is usually otherwise bypassed.

2) Then it's on to my main distortion pedal, the Big Muff Pi.

3) The next point in the chain is my Radial Big Shot EFX. This is a loop switcher. Loop 1 runs to my Korg A3 (not shown--BUT I did find the worst demo video ever! What he does with setting 76, FunkWah, is a crime against music.) Loop 2 runs to my main pedal effect chain. I can isolate either chain or run the signal through them both using this passive switch.
4) Line out to the Korg A3 (on top of bookshelf). When you think Korg A3, think of the guitar on Achtung Baby.

5) The main pedal chain mostly comes from pawn shops. It starts with the Digitech Death Metal pedal, which I like because it hurts people deeply. (By the way, I like gearmandude's videos.) Next to the Digitech Digidelay, another pawn shop rescue. (Hey, it's sort of like saving orphaned animals.) Then to the Digitech MultiChorus pedal (you can't really see the pedal, but you can see when he engages it). Then the Boss Phase Shifter PH-3. (Listen to the step-phase setting at 4:40. I can't find a use for it, but it's goofy enough for me to want.) Then the Boss BF 2 Flanger, which was another pawn shop orphan.

6) A coily cord takes the whole line back to the the loop switch and then another runs to my...

7) Dunlop Crybaby Wah pedal.

8) Next to the EHX Memory Man Deluxe with Hazarai, which is a complicated pedal that I have not yet mastered.

9) Then we reach the end of the chain, the Digitech Whammy pedal reissue. Yeah, even gearmandude can't use this one. But I try.

10) Lastly, to my brand-spanking new Vox AC30. Never raise the volume like they do at 4:28. I believe this comment says it all:

it will drown ALL drummers out if you dime it....this amp is so fucking loud....so so loud

Awwww yeah! This one goes up to twelve! Hear me? TWELVE!

And it's all working on the signal from the Les Paul Studio you see in the back! Yay! Maybe I'll post a sound clip.
