Post your 1590a (tiny pedals) pedalboard

[quincy_j_clomo]

I just saw a bunch of the HotOnes (or HoTones?) extra-tiny pedals at a local shop. anyone have any opinions on those things? They're absolutely the tiniest pedals i've seen, and pretty cheap too.

Hotones have had a couple of mentions on the tiny pedals thread, notably Tiny pedals (1590A pedals) - Hotone KOMP and Tiny pedals (1590A pedals) - Hotone Octave. Not great news for bass so far.

Hey bud

Have you had a chance to compare the mooer ninety orange to the MXR phase 90? The things that are keeping me back from building a nano board are the lack of a decent phaser and a decent octave. Seems like drive, fuzz, compression and boost are pretty well represented but I am not sure about those two.

OK, one from outside London. It has my latest pedal, the aptly named sfx Big Beautiful Bass which is rarely switched off.

I have a similar board, just a bit longer for if I need a fifth pedal - either the Mooer Ensemble King chorus, or the MXR Bass Octave Deluxe (my only non 1590a pedal). And a board longer still which takes 6 pedals if I want both. Mooer Graphic B, and Thunderball are occasional substitutes.

Awesome!

Nice ... that combo is pretty much my bare minimum (a different comp, but hey). I'd never substitute anything for one of those in a foursome. My next addition to that would be the BMC (have discovered that a minute boost around 140Hz is magic), and then I'd be cooking ... after that come the effects ... BOD and fuzz.

Somebody here did a Mooer Orange 90 demo and it was beautiful. Definitely on my list. That demo is in one of the 1590A threads.
Google is barraging me with Donner ads, and given that modern digital tech is cheap and that our economy is built on third world exploitation these things are looking like they're worth the risk. I don't like my real estate being used up by occasional pedals such as modulations and delays.

The Mooer 90 isn't quite the same as the MXR. Different range of sweep, and different depth. You can get very darn close to the MXR, though, IMHO. Big, fat, gutsy sound. The mode switch at the top changes is from fat to a cleaner sound. I like it, and I don't think there's enough of a tradeoff between size and sound to worry about.

So then the only missing piece of the pie is the octave. And I hear that is going to be an issue after seeing pretty crap reviews of the mooer and the Hotones.

True dat.

Octaves are one of those pedals... I have an EBS at home as well, and I'm not sure it's the sound I want either. I really just want to be able to add an octave below on occasion, with reasonable tracking. I generally mix it with the original tone.

Nope, it's your Mooer case and your Mooer case.

Some really cool looking boards. SO much in such a small space.

But seriously (no flaming at all, just curious);
Do any of you find it problematic to have so many footswitches so close together?

thanks. that's my board! beat me to posting here.

with my nano board (just posted by BigBeatNut) and my MIDI pedals, which are the smaller switch sort rather than the organ style I def have to wear very light shoes or even go in socks because i have been known to activate the wrong pedals.

I hire a 'height-challenged person" to stomp on them

Tell me about the pure boost- any grit to be had? How is the eq?

 

[BazzTard]

I'm using the Pure Boost to boost the gain cleanly, doesn't growl at all. haven't heard any bottom end loss.

YMMV
