5SG, howz the Pwnzer? I've had that on radar recently...

And speaking of cables and plugs and stuff...someone recently posted a link to somewhere that has G&L plugs and the flathead Hosa plugs for something like $25 a dozen or similar ridiculously good pricing; now I can't find that link. Anyone remember this?

Here's my main board, fresh off the rewiring bench. Polytope in, Bass Boost Chorus out, but still want to A/B the two directly. Getting the Poly on there made juuuust enough room to get the PWNZOR back on for another spin around the track!

5sg.

BUT there is only one envelope filter on there, and two potential sources of dirt. You aren't selling out on the filter freeks, are you??

I believe they're available in Europe. Not sure where he's from but everyone I've seen who has one so far lives in Europe.

Ah, the only Universal constant... change. And I'm sure this board will change again soon.
But hey, eye (and ear) candy in the mean time:

hey Vlad, it just keeps getting better.

The use of your BMC is interesting... bass boost. I would have thought you could have done that with your Submarine designer, however I have a feeling that the BMC would do it with less hiss.

How you finding the GR2 compared to you Xerograph? Also, what have you put in its loop?

sorry for the late reply, Kobaia, Insomniac2295, and Behndy are right.

1. The wah looking pedals are Mission Engineering expression pedals, but the green one is actually the pigtronix expression pedal, which is also made by mission engineering. That one has 2 outputs instead of the standard 1.

2. I got the Polytune Mini from my local dealer (I live in Singapore... in South-East Asia). Preordered it so I managed to get one when it first arrived.

yah. i have a Normal/Line 6 M-Series Mission made expression on the way. VERY impatiently awaiting that guy.

Kester - have you used EP-2 or VP-Jr style expression pedals? way different throw length and feel? i know they say they made the Mission's throw longer than regular wahs, lol, and i HAD one for a hinute, but i forget.

Thanks D

I use the BMC to boost the low-mids (@500Hz) in the ch2 loop only. It kinda emphasizes the heavy after all the dirt effects, especially the fuzzes. The Sub D is set to 600Hz rarely these days, and usually to emphasize some punch when going clean.

The GR2 and Xero can't be compared like green and red apples, at least not by me. I can say though that I'm learning simplicity is my friend. So, I kinda miss the Bottom Feeder. The GR2 is actually next to be changed. Right now the set up is:

(in) relay/mute > Schism > Submarine D > relay/mute > volume (out)

Schism loop 1: Timeline
Schism loop 2: B3K > TFR > GR2 > BMC
GR2 loop: Unpleasant Surprise > tafm

It's a work in progress, but I've figured out (somewhat) what effect sounds good before/after/during each other effect. More tests, always more tests...

Heh, actually, I just dropped the volume pedal on the board yesterday with little regard to functionality, and I'm like week 3 into ever using a volume pedal, so... I suppose I'd use my left foot in this setup... hmmm maybe I should move it to the right side, next to the other utility pedals...

Had a VP-Jr for quite awhile, but I replaced it when I got the EP1-L6. Before I got the VP-Jr I also had a line6 expression pedal.

I was trying to get a "wah" sounding setting on the M9 with the Line6 Expression pedal but I couldn't because of the way the pedal felt (it felt rather plastic and had little resistance), but with the EP1 I have no problems. Definitely feels very different, but it could also be due to the spring installed in my expression pedals.
