Is it a copy of the Binson Echorec? Hmmm.... Off to check. I'd want one of these for guitar and bass. Pink Floyd goodness!

Thinking about:
1) Patches using multiple pedals. Are people using effects loops or some elaborate form of tap dancing? Who's doing what and how do you do it?
2) I LOOVE my TAFM. So much so that I want to sell it to help pay for a new custom designed one. Frivolous?

I use a combo of tap dancing, a boss ls-2, and occasionally I sit down so I can stomp to pedals at once or use an expression pedal whilst diddling the momentary pitch bend mode on the PS-6.

Maybe I should, I have a Flashback now which is pretty good, but the Echorec has me totally sucked in.
I'm saving for a new bass though, so getting the Echorec would set that project back a bit.

Decisions, decisions, decisions........

So...what's going through y'alls heads right now that isn't worthy of a new thread.

Been thinking more in term of powersources lately and have to research it a bit. Don't have any real issues with the Brick, but there's certainly something a little more flexible out there. It's just that buying a big battery ain't exactly... exciting.

You're talking the Dunlop Power Brick right? I've found that to be a pretty flexible power source. Maybe quite as much as the Voodoo PP2 I had a while back, but certainly more so than my 1-Spot. The Brick has three 18V power sources, and I've used those to power things like my Tone Hammer or EP2 where I would normally need a separate power supply.

I haven't come up with a configuration on my Mini yet that has stumped my Brick.

Yeah, it's a great PS and never had an issue with it. I've read that it's noisy because it's not shielded (is that the right way to say it ?), but it never bothered me. Maybe I'm questionning it because I recently passed on pedals requiring other than 9 and 18v...

fivestringgecko · #68 12-18-2012, 07:04 PM

Interesting. Never had any problems with noise on the Brick, and I'm totally OCD about keeping my rig silent. I've heard rumors about noise with the Brick, something about noise from one pedal "crosstalking" with other pedals through due to the unshielded outlets, but guess I've just been lucky. I read someone having problems with an Echo Park on a Brick, but I never had problems with any combination of pedals, including when I had the Line6. *shrug*

Do you think the Dunlop Brick is a good upgrade to a One Spot?

Only if you prefer the form factor.

fivestringgecko · #71 12-18-2012, 07:49 PM

I have a 1-Spot on my bigger board and dig it as well. I guess it just depends on what you're looking to do with it... It only powers 9V pedals, but it's nice because it powers 8 and you don't have to deal with individual power cables. However, because of the specific length between plugs on the 1-Spot, I've sometimes had to get creative with how I wire power to each pedal. (My brain wants to wire them in the same order as signal chain, but sometimes I have to jump around with the order with the 1-Spot and it bugs me. That's how OCD I am. Lol)

So I guess it's a hald dozen of one, six of the other. But if you know or think you might run an 18V pedal or two, it's worth having the brick, IMO.

Interesting, thanks guys. I think I'll stick to the One Spot until such time as I feel like I need to move to a Voodoo Labs unit.

Despite like the simplicity of a graphic EQ, I cannot resist the urge to buy a parametric EQ, even though it might be over-kill for my simple bass board.

I'm in the same boat. A ParaEQ is one of those pedals that I would almost certainly run in the loop of my amp. But it'll probably happen wayyy down the road when I can't find another effect to throw money at.
