So as not to keep things super secret or clutter the Pedalboard of the stars thread I thought I'd start a new thread about this board and hopefully JMJ can chime in when he has time. Also saves us hassling him on PM and not sharing the answers

These are the boards in question

So ask away and hopefully we'll get some answers because I've got a lot of questions (That will be posted as I get bored throughout the day at work)

On board 1

What does the button labeled Motorsomething on the DL-4 do/sound like?

I noticed on the loops you have either 1 or both of the MXR's in the same loop as the LBM, how are these being used?

Thats the blackbox on the top right?

What are the preamps that your signal is going to with that silver box at the end of your signal path?

How many signals are you sending to the desk live?

Across all the boards is there a favourite pedal that if you could only ever bring one pedal to something it would be your go to one?

Cheers

1) You've described the Bassballs as 'a fixture on Beck records', but I can't find any songs that have that Bassballs sound. Can you enlighten me?

2) When are you next coming to the UK? :)

I did ask Justin a question after reading a post he made in the amp/cab-section... and now some monts later im happy to say he wasn't kidding... it sure is heavy.. but it blows my pants off every time i hit the E-string! (so im always plaing in/on the g-string) :hiding:

:D

1) Are you fed up with Tayste acting like he's your best friend?

(BTW: you should get your Quasar and Echo Box today mate. Dig that Echo Box. Better than DBD!!)

Hadn't felt that way in the slightest, so I assume you're joking.

Thanks for the advice, don't know what a DBD is.

Just patches in a preset on the DL-4 for a Beck song called "Motorcade". Heavy mod delay.

I ran out of loops. I keep the loop active and use the MXR DI for that annoying yet kind of useful grainy distortion it does (blended very low), and alternate with the Little Big Muff. Underneath the top level of the board is another one of those DI's which actually functions as a proper DI, along with PSU's, etc.

Thats the blackbox on the top right?

It's an A/B switch my tech made for me to go between synth and bass on input.

What are the preamps that your signal is going to with that silver box at the end of your signal path?


SansAmp RBI and SVP-CL into power amp or Mesa Titan.

How many signals are you sending to the desk live?

Three. Clean DI, dirty preamp, mic cabinet

Across all the boards is there a favourite pedal that if you could only ever bring one pedal to something it would be your go to one?

SansAmp GT2 I guess.

Best example is "Halo of Gold", Skip Spence tribute. All other uses are mixed in and blurry, and/or I don't remember. I haven't actually busted it out in a while, that's probably an old quote.

2) When are you next coming to the UK? :)

Summer...don't know where or when yet though. Dates being looked at.

I'm how you've used the Great Destroyer so far, and I'd love to know if there is a clip anywhere in existence of you using one...

Haven't made a clip, but homey is such a cool dude I might hook him up. The pedal is rad, though. I use it whenever I'm called upon to make a racket, really.
