I use little bits of tape.


Oh, and this is my whole pedal board for my EUB.

All this talk of minimalism...

So here is version 1.0 of my mini(malist) board experiment.

12.25" x 7.25" x 3/4" (1" with rubber feet).



the Plan:
  • Tuner will be added and all power will be regulated through that, minimizing wires a bit.
  • Relay (mini) will be added so that the larger foot-switched tuner/mute relay shown here can be removed and replaced with said tuner.
  • Rehoused amp footswitch will be added.
  • Headphone amp will be added eventually ([sfx] mini type).
  • JDI may be added, maybe.
  • FEA compressor may be added, but then I would have to upgrade to a PT-Nano!

This is just an experiment to help me focus on my playing a bit. All my other effects are still on the PT-1, with the conspicuous empty space just large enough for an OKKO Basstard (hate the name) or an HE El Oso. Given my current effects budget, most likely the Oso...



Both boards can be linked with two cables, in/out, which is why I'm building another relay. If all else fails, I can move the expression pedal off the board and replace it with the Submarine and B3K and go back to one board.

I have been down sizing as well but more to focus on the sound of each pedal. Like you though Vlad, the submarine remains, or at least my home made version. Glad your sub remains on the mini

Nice FEA board! I'm still drooling over the DE-CL myself.

Yeah, any effects project of mine will include the Submarine, its just so useful, and so good! Ok, maybe if I was recording thru an Avalon something or other, U5 maybe... then I can live without it, maybe. Its not the quietest circuit in the world, that's for sure, but it sounds good before an amp. Like, real good.

It's nice to have just one or two pedals that define 'my' sound in an easy to go format. I can plug the Submarine D into just about any amp and dial in a tone I like, and the B3K is grind in a box... and I love me some grind!

So I started re-arranging my board, squeezed everything on, including the Meatsmoke. Unfortunately, I need a few long cables... They should be here this week. Pics to follow...

I don't have anything special but I can make a lot of sounds with my setup. Waiting for the new MXR bass chorus the dano is just temporary.

Messing with the boards again, overdrives in particular. On the Mini (main board), I've been swapping back and forth between my B3K and Dark Driving on and off for a while, and now revisiting the SFT. For the PT1, Fromel DIG and Flipster came off, BlueTube on and............ struggling with what else I want to put on there.

Never really had that trouble before, my boards have always just kind of come together without any effort. I was revamping it yesterday and sat there staring at the stupid thing for like 2 hours and... nuthin'.

5sg.

I am back to unstable board configuration mode again. Today's config at church:



A completely clean sound from this two-pedal system. An [sfx]-modded Bad Monkey will be joining the board.

cheers.
The dual band compressor is pure awesome. Usually would have a battering ram for fuzz but the footswitch needs some work hence the photon will see some light till I fix the ram or finish a rat+supercollider project I am building.

I liked your 3 choice of fuzz you posted earlier. Have been wondering how the TFR fit in your sound. Now I get it

It's nice, but for me that has nothing to do with bass anymore. I'd rather see the guitar player doing those sounds an me providing massive low end.
But it's nice, especially the wobble thing :-)

I use a parallel low-passed octave down for massive low end... Though I doubt YouTubes audio quality (plus the home recording quality) do much to convey that well.

To me its TOTALLY about bass... And expanding the role of the instrument. It's never going to appeal to everyone but then that's why I kept it to a thread about pedal boards.

Maybe this video/audio from my main band better shows the overall sound I am going for - to sound like a full band:

Latest board, and feel pretty good about it right now unless I decide to pick up an envelope filter to replace the mini wah (though so far Im really enjoying it). AMT WH-1B, Darkglass B3K, MXR BFD, IE Nimbus, TCE Flashback, TCE Polytune Mini. Time to pick up a pedaltrain mini.

Edit: oy. Just threw my DL4 back on my board since I havent sold it yet and Im enjoying being able to use that as a looper and my flashback as the delay...the dl4 was supposed to fund the flashback =/

Crappy weather up here caused electricity shortage, which shortened band rehearsal. So here we go with the latest iteration.

Not much of a change: sent the Digitech Bass Driver upstairs 'cause I like to have the pedals I stomp on during songs on the lower tier, pedals on all the time or for the whole song on the upper tier (yeah, I'm like dat). I keep looking and shopping, but still sticking to simple, run-of-the-mill unexotic pedals. But it works for me.

EDIT: the only pedal I'm not 100 % satisfied for the moment is the Q-Tron. It's cool enough, but I've just not found MY filter as of yet.

Hmm thats not a bad idea actually. I was trying to get everything on a PT Mini, and I dont really see myself looping stuff live so the dl4 was more than I needed. but it is nice to be able to delay and loop at the same time for writing at home. might have to consider that.
