Digitech Space Station Pedalboard Addition

It's time once again for the ever-changing pedalboard to be revamped. That being said, I recently acquired a XP300 Digitech Space Station. These are fairly rare and sought after. I have been looking for one at a somewhat reasonable price for years and finally hit the jackpot. I traded a Korg Microkorg for it as I haven't barely used it since buying it used a year or so ago. This is another in the line of killer Craigslist deals I have managed to secure over a couple of years. Here is the new pedalboard setup as of the end of July:

Signal path is as follows:

Guitar in to GGG Alembic Stratoblaster Clean Boost---->Digitech Whammy---->GGG BSIAB II---->Triangle Big Muff---->Ernie Ball Volume/Pan---->Electro Harmonix Memory Toy---->Hardwire Stereo Reverb(Used for reverse reverb setting)---->BBE Sonic Stomp---->Digitech Space Station---->Morley ABY Box---->Signal split between 1960s Acoustic Head with 6x10 cabinet and modified Epiphone Valve Junior head into a 4x12 cab with Celestions.

Here's a youtube video of some examples of Space Station sounds:

As I mentioned earlier, there have been a few great Craigslist scores that I've secured. For example, a Technics electronic organ(Free!) and most recently before the Space Station, a 1962 Kay Model 504 hand wired tube amplifier. The amp is in pretty remarkable shape for it's age other than a sketchy electrical cord repair. It even has the original made in the U.S.A. RCA tubes in it. There is built in tube tremolo as well. It has definitely been in a smokey environment for some years, so I had to clean it up a bit, but it sounds fantastic and records very well. I still have to get the power cord switched over to a three prong grounded plug, but it shouldn't be a big deal. Here are some before after cleaning pics along with a shot of the guts:

Guts!

Hopefully one of these days I can find enough time to start doing some youtube demos of my own with some of the cool equipment I've acquired. Until then, I'm off to Chicago this weekend for Lollapalooza.


Life is good.
