Pedaltrain MINIs United Again!

Just got mine together. The last pedal is a modded mxr dynacomp done by Ryan wisniewski. I have the greedtone od set really low to just put a little hair on my tone and been using the rat king for any fuzz/distortion. The feedback button on the Rat King into the Ross phaser sounds chaotic and amazing. I can post a clip if anyone is interested.

I'm curious about the modded dyna comp. Just a re house or circuit mods too?

He Modded the circuit as well. Not sure exactly what he did to it. I can pm you with his e-mail if you want to get the exact details. Whatever he did made it have no low end loss at all. I've been using it for a week now pretty regularly and it's sounded great in every setting from full rock bands to mellow singer-songwriter gigs.

Here you go. It's with my 78 P-bass with flats into an Apogee One. I start out clean, than with the Rat King than the Rat King with Ross Phaser. Pardon the playing, been a long day.

Dude, that's pretty crazy right there! Almost like a dirty synth going through a Leslie speaker. I dig it in a "that sounds so cool, but I'm not sure I could find a use for it" kind of way! ;) Have you found a real-world application for it? I play fink, gospel, r&b stuff, so that wouldn't really work for me, but I'm still going to see what I have in my toy box to come close to it... Maybe my EP2 into my Fuzzrocious or B3k.

Clean bass sounds awesome too, btw! :cool:

Nice job man, thanks for the clip! I'm always impressed by the ways people around TB can find to make crazy cool sounds.

Yeah, it's more of a fun little thing to have in the toolbox. I use it in one song to pedal a note under a guitar solo. I'm also going to use it on a transition between songs tonight. For people looking for that dubsteppy kind of bass tone it would be perfect. I bet it would sound massive if you threw an octave pedal into the mix.

Okay Amped, if you ever change anything and decide to get rid of the VT Deluxe, you GOTTA let me know. I'll FIND a way to take it off your hands... Maybe sell a kidney if I have to. Lol

I think its a bddi dlx with the bank button removed
 
I actually contacted him about his etching process, because the graphic artist in me has always wanted to do a themed pedalboard... matching etching across everything on it. He's such a great guy, he sent me a couple links/tutorials, so I'll be able to give it a try myself. Someday. :)

This is running the HI output from the FEA into the Multidrive and back together with the Morley ABY. I think I actually like the sound of the whole signal going through the Multidrive better.. So I may just get rid of the Morley and add a T-Rex Fueltank Jr.

Nice.
I just ordered a Mini. I was considering building one myself, but the time to do it right... is just not something I have. The mini will just fit the project I have in mind.
 
As promised pics of the Pelican iM2500 case.

It's a tight fit and won't accommodate any overhang on the sides. It also wouldn't leave room for padding if you were flying with it. For around town though it can comfortably carry the Mini, a head and all my cables and extra crap....I'm quite impressed. Living on a boat the waterproof feature is pretty valuable too. I have yet to try it but I'm pretty sure I can bungee my single 8" cab onto the extended handle for a super compact restaurant gig rig.

All it needs now is stickers....
 
That's a cool setup.

My Mini arrived. Here's my funk board. Nice to have it on a smaller bit of real estate than my old PT Jr (which will now get my looping pedals, and I'll connect the two boards when I do looping shows).

The "mystery spot" is my EBS Multicomp - I'm waiting for a new switch to put into it, current one is shot.

So, my current setup is a Pedaltrain Mini customized by NinZan (white finish, power supply and X2 wireless mounted underneath). On the board:

Boss TU-3 > EBS MultiComp > Plutoneium Bass Chi-Wah-Wah > Darkglass B3K Overdrive > TC Flashback Delay

I can squeeze on more on there and power it from the tuner, but not sure what. I have an EBS Tremolo, MXR BOD and MXR BEF, but not using them at the moment.

The Darkglass is awesome. I've sold my VT Bass Deluxe, Amptweaker Tightdrive and put my JHS LowDrive up for sale. It has stopped my hunt for what I was looking for in overdrive and distortion.

I really want a new case for my Mini. So bummed that Mono isn't doing a bag for it. Thinking about a hardcase. Anyone ordered one? If so, who did you get it from and what are your thoughts.

I might need to consider this one!
