Not necessarily with the socket though.
It doesnt seem like it be that hard to do, plus it looks a whole lot tidier |

Pics coming soon, but it will include:
Korg DT-10
Sansamp BDDI
EHX Nano Small Stone
Analogman bichorus
Boss DD-6 Delay
Godlyke power supply.
Can't wait...

I can get a good sound anywhere with this. If I have a good amp I connect to the parallel out on the BDDI. No need to muck up the sound of a nice rig. I can also power the rig from the parallel port and run the DI off of the end of the exciter to beef up the house sound. Little PA's get the BDDI and the exciter, Big PA's just get the BDDI. The BDDI and exciter also have a big impact on the sound of the distortion so I get a lot of variety. Cheaper Bass amps and keyboard amps sound really good with the BDDI and Exciter. I power it all with a one spot.

Just look at what the voodoo labs pedal power did for the larger pedaltrains.
It really would have been nice if T-Rex had utilized an IEC setup rather than the fixed cable. I'm sure that was driven by costs or something to do with their UL/CSA approval.

Neat board!

One arguement is different settings, maybe 1 for 100% octave down and another for mixed

Two different AWESOME animals

its good to be back!!! been out for a while!!! | I a/b'd the Swollen Pickle and the Supercollider in GC one day. It was fairly quiet (no metalheads shredding away).
The Supercollider was quite a bit more focused and less hairy gain-wise than the SP, and I really liked the depth control. The SP sounded alright, and I'm sure if I didnt have a Supercollider I wouldve liked it more. But the Supercollider wins for me. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
