PYPB XL: Midlife Crisis

[Dazonbass]

the Photon worked really well in practise so will be staying. I like being able to add the octave up when it is needed. The unimpressive black box with white letters is a Ginger which I am super happy with its tone.



berter picture this time.

cheers... but with so many pedals now unused it will get bigger. Will keep this as the core and add one by one. Want to focus on the pedals I have already acquired and try to extract their full potential.

After that I may reward my efforts with a B3K, unless Santa is super sweet.

Ok, when I got my Source Audio pedals I thought I'd never use the midi jack. I was so wrong. Midi is very easy and with midi control built in you save a lot of $$ not having to buy a midi looper. So the original idea was to keep it simple and use a Tech 21 midi mouse that uses only 1 midi channel to control the SA pedals. They would both change presets together and if I wasn't stacking fx I would just have a clean preset paired up with a fx one. Quickly I realized this was too much hassle and I wanted direct access to pedal combo and juming back to a bypass/clean so I aquired a Behringer FCB1010. Normally I avoid that brand but I gotta tell you, this controller is amazing. It can control 5 midi devices and has 2 expression pedals plug 2 latching midi controlled relays to control stuff like the Freeze. At first it was a mystery to program, but once I "got it" it's actually very simple to program.

Back to the Freeze. My FCB1010 is a stock unit, but you can get new new chip to let you do 'stomp box' mode and turn individual fx on/off, but I'm actaully happy with patch mode where you change all the pedal, or just as many as you want per stomp. Originally I had a midi button for the relay remote controlling the Freeze. This is an easy mod where you put a 1/4" jack on the freeze and jumper the wires coming off the footswitch then just plug into 'switch 1' on FCB1010. This worked ok, but if I pressed on that midi switch it would take the focus off the patch I was using, so that meant that the expression pedal was disabled or something else and I didn't like that so I ended up taking the footswitch out of the freeze and mounting it on the FCB1010. This frees up a midi button and lets me use the Freeze at any time without disrupting any patch I have active.



The Freeze has been different placed in my chain. My favorite position for it was between the Classic Pro and the BEF Pro to hold a dirty signal and then still play a clean over that or vica-versa. But when our sound engineer set me up with 2 feeds to the board I wanted to Freeze to feed them both so I moved it up river to just out of the G50 and before the clean DI to the subs.

So the Sansamp, tuner and compressor are always on, and the 3 SA pedals and the M5 are all controlled with midi. So I can have 4 pedals instantly jump to presets all at once or just one, or two, etc. Then one simple button bypasses all fx.

The G50 wireless has a mute on the body back so the tuner is on all the time incase I get bumped and have to make a mid-song tuning correction, and when I need to tune between songs or whatever I mute from the body back.

All and all it's a pretty simple setup. The MWBD Pro is new and just adds another layer, but if I was short on space, it'd be the first to go.

edit: FYI, I noticed after taking that inside picture the patch cable coming out of the freeze into the DI #1 was not installed or the patch cable to the tuner. I was messing with something and needed the cables, they are back now ready to ROCK

Chain-Everything is in loop A of the LS-2>OC-2>Blue Box>Gnome>PS-6>Orbit>Black Label Chorus>B3>Return of LS-2>Wasabi Delay>RC-2>amp. This is probably going to change but the layout won't. Probably.

Funny, I got rid of my MXR Analog chorus when I got a Flashback. Much better chorus IMO, use the MOD or a tone print tri-chorus.

[luccabf]

^Yes, the tri-chorus is amazing, but many times I use delay AND chorus, so I need another chorus too

I just thought of that. Duh. Still I like the Flashback chorus much better.

Just another ''I just got my first effects'' board. I'm kind of low on budget so it will probably won't change anytime soon

Not too shabby for a first effects board

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 =/

how's the amt bro? tia

Exactly what I was thinking. Hehehe.

Quality. Im impressed so far. I will be trying to do a video demo in the next couple days but I will definitely get a review and some soundclips up. Ive posted a little bit about it in the whats coming and going thread.

great. I'll wait for your update then

Alright I got it all wired up. CRAZY. I think the bluebeard is going to be replaced by a rehoused Megalith and the Iron Ether pedals will be kicked off when the Mobius comes out. For now this is what I'm rockin...

is the flashback x4 the bees knees? i love my flashback, and i think im gonna have to upgrade, i'd love to be able to have the single loop function in conjunction with delay.
