Thanks! I think a lot of people don't realise how cheap I got a lot of that stuff, I don't have a job(turned 15 on Saturday) but I just seem to have a lot of eBay patience and picked up a few good deals :)
Pocket money pedals is what I call it. But with a few months saving!

  You must be making some serious gig money or have some rather rich parents!
None of the kids I currently teach at school have a pedal board anywhere near the size (or price) of yours.... Even those in bands on the local gig circuit.
When I was your age & at school, back in the early 80's, it took me at least month to save up to buy a just a new album, or maybe two 2nd hand ones from a record fair. Guitar pedals were not even on the agenda.

Same here! At fifteen I only wanted records and thought a guitar player made those sounds depending on the guitar model... That's when I started playing, actually.
I thought you were older, Ollie! I wish you a happy day this saturday.  |

Thanks guys! The reason i dont make a big thing over my age is so people dont see me as some spoilt brat. I get no more money than anyone else my age (in fact, a lot of my mates get a lot more) its just unlike then i have the willpower to save money rather than blow it on junk. For christmas / birthdays i useally ask for money so i can pick up some ebay bargains. My parents have never brought me a pedal, they have been brought either from dirt cheap ebay deals or painful months of saving. Just thought ill clear that up :) Ollie |

Thx bro. It's a Pedaltrain 2 model as far as I remember.
As for the Blackstar, I had to buy it in the US since it's not available here... 
Very happy with it, even though some pots are a little scratchy sometimes. But it's a beast from hell. 
Forgot to mention the DD is an early DD-2 and all the Ibanez stuff seen on the picture is vintage too. |

Errrr Ok, I misunderstood Ollie was about to turn 15 THIS NEXT saturday. Happy birthday Ollie 
It's amazing how someone of your age has gathered so many good pedals and know a lot about this stuff, so I think many of us -if not everyone- treats you as an adult just because you've earned it with your posts.
About saving money for new gear, I totally understand you: I have a job but also many responsibilities so I have to watch carefully what I spend on pedals. That's why I'm amazed about people here getting five pedals a week and didn't understand why you don't buy that blaming verbzilla at last! 
Sorry! I'm done with the OT |

Hey Ollie, I can relate!
When I was 15 I was saving for amplifier kits and building stuff my mates could only dream about because they were blowing theirs on "other stuff". |

Well, as always my board is forever changing. Will it ever stop? Ive added my new pitchblack and a few others, that are not new. I must say, the PB is an upgrade. Its alot faster

Cant forget my RV-3, which is constantly on 

Edit: P.S I dont use my overdrive channel on my amp, if you were wondering why the settings are odd. |
