I like it. You should build a space for your power amp in there too. How difficult will it be to stomp on the top shelf pedals?

Thanks! I posted some completed pics a couple of weeks ago. I ended up going with a slightly simpler setup, though. The stereo clean/dirty setup wasn't working out so well, so I replaced the M-80 on the board with an LS-2 and combined the signals with that. Putting the power amp on it wouldn't be terribly practical, though. I don't really stomp on any of the units on the top shelf minus the tuner. The VT, NS-2 and LS-2 are all always on, and the BSW is just there for kicks and giggles. The Disnortion, OM and SMMH are the only ones that I actually use mid-song.

I need to tweak my board to get my power supplies under the board.

Bass->Looper->Amp
Loop1 Send->M13 input->M13 effect send-> Loop1 Return
Loop2 Send->M13 effect return->M13 out-> Loop2 Return.

I was able to set up my routine sounds in about 10 minutes and now have billion choices with little clue where to go next.

I have the volume pedal set up as a through jack for the output and need to mod it to be an acceptable expression pedal. For the time being it's just a really big convenience patch.

This has been a long time coming!

So here is the board I use Live with Link Removed:
DSCF0191.jpg

All on a Pedaltrain PT-2, and powered by a Diago Powerstation and a Johnny Shredfreak supply (exact same unit). I could power the whole board with one unit, but then I lose a plug off of my daisy chain and would have to lose a pedal from the board.

Signal Chain is:
X2 Wireless>Korg DT-10>Catalinbread SFT>TB loop (OC-2)>X-Blender (Swollen Pickle clone>MSD Earthquaker Bass Wah)>Subdecay Prometheus>Analogman Chorus

The next lot aren't in any particular configuration, as I don't have enough George L's to wire up another couple of boards

Original Visual Sound Visual Volume Pedal
Original Digitech WH1 Whammy
Crowther Prunes and Custard
Line 6 Echo Park
Atomic EchoClone (The guts of an original Way Huge Aqua Puss just in a different enclosure)
Catalinbread Valcoder
Burkey Flatliner in the background
All on a Pedaltrain PT-JR

DSCF0193.jpg


Just a couple more pedals I got laying around:
Original Musitronics Mu-Tron III (1972 I believe)
EHX NYC BassBalls (For Sale)
MojoHand/ToneFactor TalkBass edition Cream Pie
Montgomery Appliances '77 Flanger (Clone of the original A/DA Flanger with a couple improvements like True Bypass, LEDs etc)

And just for fun here's a (blurry) pic of the whole lot:

Nothing has changed since i last posted, except the pedals are now mounted in a Kinsman pedalcase. The velcro supplied was useless, so i bought some high strength velcro from a local hobby shop. Because Marshall have let me down (4 times, dont ever buy anything from the MB series), i currently have no money... =[ but the next purcahses will be a Korg Pitchblack, and Nano Stone, and most importantly, a power supply!

Okay.. heres a shot of the pedals onto of my guit*r board!

And again in the Kinsman case...

I think its a fantastic chorus pedal! I dont really have a use for the wierd vibrato mode, but i normally switch between modes one and two.

As everybody knows, it is abit noisey, and i probably wouldnt record with it, but you hardly notice it live so im not too worried at the moment. I picked it up for the bargain price of £30 so i cant complain! Its definately worth looking at. :smug:

Well currently I have Boss CEB-3 and am considering ''upgrading'' in the near future as it is far to mellow for my liking. I'll check it out when I can :)

How would it work for Drum and Bass kind of stuff? I was curious in picking it up for the vibrato.

You've got a great collection of effects... how do you like the MSD Earthquaker Bass Wah?

A manual wah is kind of on my radar screen for a future purchase.

The MSD is a great wah. Having the option of just activating by putting your foot on it, or using the footswitch is great. It's springless (unlike the 105Q you can leave it in any position) and has TB switching, Blended or Straight wah modes (with a trimpot inside to adjust the balance) and what basically works out to a 3 way frequency selector for the range you want it to wah in (Bass/Mids/Treble), and a 4 way switch for how big the sweep is (Q on most other pedals).

It's very expensive but its a rock solid pedal with a great sound!
