Ths came about earlier,and now I'm just curious,as are you I'm betting.do you gig with the pedals you build? I have been using mine during rehearsals and the intent is to gig them after the first of the year.what say you?

I use mine at church :)

Kingslayer, La Vache, Multiplex, Collosalus (plus a Korg tuner and Ibanez phaser, which I'm going to take off once the Collosalus has a SCPA chip.)

Only thing on my board I haven't built is the Boss TU3 tuner. That is until I get a strymon delay...

I don't gig, but people who've got my pedals who do certainly gig them.

I would hazard a guess that all the pedals built here have a lot more care, attention and love put into them than any mass produced stuff (I'm excluding the quality boutique stuff of course).

As long as your carefull when putting everything together there is no reason not to gig them.

I'm gigging with my pedals - as are the rest of my band (drummer excluded of course).

on my bass board I have a sunking, 2-in-1 with wolfshirt/mudbunny, and GGG DOD 250.

on my guitar board, the DIY's are JMK standard fuzz, Neutrino, Cherrybomb. sometimes I get my weener out at gigs as well  8)

hoping to add a chorus/vibe/phaser, aquaboy deluxe, and a trem to the guitar board...

Weekly rehearsals and a gig about once every 2 months, and they hold up fine! Only mishap so far is the LED bezel on my Porkbarrel, on which the little nut on the inside of the enclosure worked itself loose..

Yes, use them out twice a week.  Never had to fix one of mine, but I know how.  :D

+1 for the church gig so mine get played every week for rehearsal and two services.  Cosmopolitan, Current Lover, Afterlife (very fitting name, I figure), Smoothie, Karate Shop, Lavache. Commercial ones are Line6 MM4 (will likely get replaced with a tremolo), NovaDelay, and Korg tuner.

Guys, whats with all the guitar playing in church? Don't want to offend anyone, so I'll explain where this question is coming from: I was raised in a very strict christian family, and went to church a lot until I was about 18, but never saw a band with an electric guitar there! If that would have been the case, I might have stuck around a bit longer... I think you are doing a good job keeping the young kids interested in the whole church as a community thing. Is that a regular thing in the US, modern music in churches?

The North American Evangelical Protestant Church is probably very different than you experience Paul. It's very common, if not typical, to have very dynamic, full featured bands as a part of the Sunday Morning Service. Some churches hold multiple services, so an electric guitarist could see 3-4 'gigs' on a weekend at church.

Even here in Canada, it's very typical. I will often lead from an electric guitar, and if I'm fortunate, I'll sometimes get to play 'lead' guitar.

P&W style has become a very predominant type of electric guitar genre.
