Pedaltrain MINIs United Again!

Just got my Mini today!

I have the sweeper, yeah, to me sounds like the bass balls, but not spot-on ... and a bit hissy. The octave pedal I'd pretty much ruled out ... not heard a good word about it ... so interesting you're finding it alright. I may look out for them being flipped on the 'bay.
 
Just finished my first pedal board.. Yup, first one. 22 years of playing, always without any effects. But really, this one houses mostly functional stuff like my wireless, a tuner, and a sansamp preamp/di. The only effects are an envelope filter and fuzz. The one "effect" I can see myself actually using live is the filter. I would like to squeeze in a compressor too, either the Aguilar tlc or a diamond...
 
Its the Line 6 g50. Its been heavily gigged with road work and I am super happy with it. I've had no problems. My understanding is that it uses wifi like frequencies for transmission, so never had any interference with it. Its a little spendy, but worth every penny. The one thing to be aware of is the cable isn't just 1/4" to 1/4", its a 1/4" to 4-pin mini connector (TA4F). The one it comes with is a little flimsy, so I keep that as my backup and primarily use a Shure WA-304, like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Shure-WA-304-Instrument-Cable-/290833441602?pt=US_Cables_Snakes_Interconnects&hash=item43b7062342

Just added the ebs multicomp.. Really beef's up the sound. Was on the fence between the diamond and Aguilar, but found a deal on the ebs. The mini's getting a little crowded but the stomps I'd actually want to trigger during performance are all easy enough to hit..

Hi, I play in a typical classic rock band and we gig about 2x month. Thanks to a few fellow TB'ers for selling me the OC-3 and Milkbox. I have a tuner output from my GB Shuttle 6, so I use that for the tuner only. I start the chain with the MBox - Octave (still learning the settings)- Monkey (rarely used / for extra OD fuzz w/UDrive) - the dreaded UDrive - SansAmp. Does the job very well and fits my low budget.

Nice! Have you ever compared that MB Synth to any others? I've been entertaining thoughts of the Boss SYB-5, but still want to explore what else is out there.

5sg.

I used to have a korg G5 back in the day and loved it. But for me the markbass is perfect. Nice customization options and the octave effect proves useful as well....especially with the limited space on the mini
