Missing something?

I all,

I removed my stock TS-9 yesterday from my board. I just don't use it as its next to my wampler paisley drive. The paisley basically bullied it off of my board.

Here's what's left: (in order)
Boss noise suppressor
Fulltone 70 fuzz
Wampler ego compressor (favorite)
Wampler paisley drive(2nd favorite)
Wampler pinnacle
Boss metal zone (thinking of shelving this one too in favor of the pinnacle)
Xotic RC booster

Fx loop:
Boss CH-3 chorus
Boss ph-3 phaser
Aqua puss analog delay
Boss DD-7
Boss RV-5 digital reverb

All of the pedals listed are on my board at this time.

Amps:
Ibanez tube screamer TSA15H 15 watt all tube head (practice)
Mesa/boogie DC-5 (gigs)

I love most of the gear I have (phaser has annoying volume drop) but feel the need to replace the ts9 with something for some reason rather than just leaving the space. I've been GASing for a wampler euphoria or an mxr carbon copy or boss dd-3, but i wonder if I have all of those bases covered already. Long term goal is to get a lonestar classic, but that's a ways off.

Anyone see something missing from this setup? I can get most of my favorite sounds, but again, it feels like something is missing.

Thanks,

Fei

That's one big-ass board, even without the TS9! You need a tuner to make it complete! Get the small PolyTune and call it a day!

That or replace your current phaser with the Hardwire Phaser. Check out the sound clips on their site (http://www.hardwirepedals.com/en-US/products/sp-7).

Good luck!

It is a bit excessive. I actually took the boss metal zone off. I just never use it. Thanks for the info about hardwire. I was thinking of them or mxr's phase 90 or the evh

As I have gotten older, I have come to the conclusion that I basically only need about 5-6 pedals.
Compressor, boost, distortion, wah, delay. I have two distortion pedals and two delay pedals. I have a lot of other pedals but I have on my board at this time:
Carl Martin comp, Barber Tone press, TS-9, OCD, Hardwire, Original Dan Echo, tuner. I just picked up a Japanese Girl AMT Wah.
I use a TU-2 and a Snark for tuners.

I love the snark, but the fiancée says it looks dumb hanging on the headstock.

Here is a pic of the board now. I think I'll leave it be. It seems like another dirt box would be overkill at this point. Without the metal zone, all of the others fit so well together for a ton of different sounds.

The correct answer, of course, is Rat.
