I used to keep these five pedals plus an MXR micro chorus, & MXR micro flanger on the same board. But since I haven't been playing out I retired the 2 MXR pedals, and put the ones pictured here on a couple pieces of wood. The two Jangle Boxes on the left go into the stereo out of my Rickenbacker 360 12 string; the three on the right are for the Gretsch 5120

Looks like Duesenberg may have gotten out of the pedal business. Not that you can't still get them on Reverb and such ... but with so many pedals to choose from already, it's a crowded market.

A small, but important update to my pedalboard. Got the brand new Nocturne NailHead tremolo en Candy Vin Rouge this week and fitted it between the tuner and Ubangi. The lower pedal row is for guitar, and the upper row is for occasional singing through my guitar amp (works very well in small rooms, even outside in backyard happenings).

You use an atomic brain and carbon copy for vocals through a guitar amp? WOW! I wouldn’t have thought to try that.

Yes I do. I have twice or three times a year living room gathering with my upright bassist cousin in the countryside and there's no sense to take a whole pa system to those sessions. My 14W 5E3 clone amp (with an additional reverb) goes just fine, in fact I wouldn't even have to use the Carbon Copy, with the reverb tank in the amp. We have even done a garden party a couple of years ago with this equipment and the vocal volume was quite sufficient. Maybe not that pretty tonewise, but sufficient :).

Last time, a couple of weeks ago I tried a smaller 5W 5F2-A Princeton clone amp (without reverb) and that too gave enough volume for indoor playing, and the vocal echo I got from the Carbon Copy.

But you do need the Atomic Brain to boost the microphone signal or you won't hear much anything. I wonder how they did it in the 1950's, I think they used guitar amps for vocals back then, too?

Here you can hear me singing through the 5E3 amp (it's partially visible in the background, behind the sofa). Atomic Brain is used here for the vocals, I don't remember if the Carbon Copy was active or not. The 5E3 vocal volume was at around 11 to 12, there was a problem with the bassist's amp and we had to play at the lowest possible volume.

I can’t sing to save my life doesn’t mean I don’t try and I will try this.
