Broughton Audio Super Thread

#69,185

Hi again,
I got some great input here the other day regarding my new Broughton HPF +LPF that's being shipped to me now. As soon as I get it, I'll be playing a gig, and so I just one more quick desperate plea for advice. For that gig, without much experimentation time, should I try it before or after preamp DI at end of small clean pedal chain (no dirt). From what I've read here, I like the idea of placing the Broughton last AFTER the preamp DI, but that's a little inelegant as I'd I'd have to add another passive DI after the Broughton (I'm ampless - direct to board). Whereas, placing Broughton just before the preamp DI let's me just send the preamp XLR straight to the board (preamp DI is MXR M81 or BDDI V2 - still mulling on that too - but probably the mxr).

I think ideally I’d put it last after whatever tone shaping you’re doing, but in your case, Just to keep things simple for your gig, I’d put it before the DI preamp.

Latest version of the rig of doom. The C.A.B. M+ is just doing the power amp tube simulation. I'm not using the speaker sim part at the moment. The cabinet is the 4 ohm GR Bass AT110 which is I think 11 lbs.

SSDI and Simone500 rawkz. I’ve sold so many things but those two are staying put.
Without a doubt, they are my most used things that don’t (but can) live on my pedal board.

I jokingly call my pedalboard a deconstructed B-15 with more power. Easier having it on a board. I see no point in leaving the P-15 at home.

I see you are using an Aclam board! Did you just wedge the Simone and B15 together or is there something I am not seeing? I also have one of those boards and I love it.

SSDI 100%

Of all the piles of gear that I've profiled and flipped SSDI, StudioOne, and Ampeg SVTDI are the only things I've keep permanently.

*I would keep the Kern IP-777 but it's form factor doesn't make sense. If I had 3 wishes the first 2 would be for Josh make a pedal-ish sized Kern clone.

Yes. The shape of the fasteners does not really allow you to do certain things easily so sometimes you do things a bit differently. I would never put velcro on stuff. The Aclam is an elegant solution. Not the cheapest but it is super easy to reconfigure things.

I love my Aclam board. To compensate for the ridiculous shipping to Canada, the people at Aclam were kind enough to swap out the normal fasteners with their new fast fasteners and they are great!

They sell the parts to replace the center part to convert the fasteners to the new type. I wish shipping was cheaper so I feel your pain.

I meant my issues were more of a geometry one, not so much a fastener limitation although shape of the fastener and size of board can factor in.

This is true. I have been thinking of getting a Noble Pre but I am not sure how it would fasten with the Aclam board.
