Ok some major changes around here: got rid of the Groove Regulator (lasted over 2 years) in favor of a WMD Super Fatman (so much versatility!),got my old tremolo back and Boss BF-3 Flanger replaced by Ibanez SF-10 Swell Flanger (sounds like an ADA Flanger and the downsweep shook my windows....)
Overall this board makes even more sense than my last set-up.
So my rationale for this set-up is as follows (long post warning):
Analog Octave:
The Boss OC-2 is first as it allows it to get the cleanest signal possible. It also allows it to be added to anything which makes anything more FAT...
Fuzz:
Next is my wooly mammoth clone (active and buffer friendly).
Terrordactyl is next and placing it early allows my to control the envelope with ease. I also only like the Mammoth running into it and the Terror going to everything else.
Way Huge Swollen Pickle overtakes just about anything going into it besides what is going into it.
Sovtek Russian BM is next and VERY useful with it's gate mod to silence (if need be) my fuzz runs.
WMD Geiger Counter is next and it (purposefully) destroys any and all things going into it (also it can do bit crush/sample reduction madness)
Synth:
BSY-600 is next and tracks well if played right. Love running fuzzes into it and purposefully glitching it out. Also has independent clean/effected controls for fuzz/filter/synth tones
Pitch-Shift/Harmonizer:
EHX HOG (end all pedal for me you can run ANYTHING into it and it tracks it with ease).Used as a polyphonic fully custom whammy. Love running everything into it and also using its LPF to fatten/thin out whatever I want. Also fun to freeze a fuzzed out chord and add some clean on top of the drone. This damn pedal has SOOOOO many uses it more than pays for its HOG-ging of space.
Volume/Tone-Shaper/Filter:
MSLP Tremolazer: awesome extremely versatile tremolo with blend to allow for a touch of trem on top of a fuzz...has the waveform mod so I can choose between triangle/square. Can also do some very nice vibrato as well as VERY (on/off/on/off) square trem.
Tech 21 Red Ripper warms up any digitalness from the HOG (even though I like the digitalness half the time). Also allows me to make my passive basses sound like an active if need be. Adds some synthy tones as well.
WMD Super Fatman is next and with its amazing filter capabilities and blend it can do A LOT.
Modulation:
Ibanez SF-10 Swell Flanger is next to add some movement. Also sounds damn close to an ADA flanger. Can also be used as a warm chorus.
Boss PH-2 is next and along with its LFO diasble mod allows me to make my single coils sound like humbuckers if I want.Very useful phaser with 2 modes and with the other mod I did gives it 4 modes. 12-stages of analog goodness.
105Q is next and allows a foot controlled tone shaper at my disposal
lus I prefer fuzz>wah
Delay/Reverb:
MSLP custom reverb/delay is next to take me down the "Rabbit Hole". Lo-fi (that can be clean on short settings) delay with cave reverb/damp control over reverb makes it VERY useful.
Next is my Roland RE-20 Space Echo (best delay ever!)
Both my delays have tap tempo and that is a MUST!
Tuner/Limiter:
Polytune Mini is next so I can not only tune my basses but can use it to set a lower limit on my HOG (I.E.: using the minimum knob on the exp pedal,the orig slider and the oct bend feature I can dial in a 5th/+1OCT of my Tool-ness wants to come out...POLYPHONICALLY!) or to use an "adjustable capo"
Last is my LMB-3 (usually set to hard limiting with a high release to tame filter peaks/overall volumes)
Controllers:
EHX HOG foot controller is rehoused into flying pig
Boss FV-500H
2-Channel TRS switcher (HOG and BSY-600)
