Post Your Pedal Board XII - Dirty Dozen

[Bassenstien]

Awesome band man!

 

[LessIsmore]

Dude, there's no way you have the gain set that high on the XXL. If I turn mine past 8 o'clock, my amp would explode!

Look at the sustain knob on the BBM, too!

LessIsMore, your user name doesn't seem to reflect on your gain philosophy!

LOL the settings are totally random, or not?

Awesome band man!

Thanks dude.

My board has changed dramatically since you all last saw it. Here it is:

[insert fantastic pedalboard image here]

...oh, would you look at that? It's not showing up for some weird reason.

 

[Joe Gress]

Um, what happened to your smartass title? You need it about now.

 

[bigchiefbc]

woah that sounds killer on the samples i found
any idea how it works with active basses? what about on a low b string?

Sorry, I've never played one, I just recognized it. I have been hoping grygrx would review it on bassfuzz.com, but surely someone here has tried it on an active bass and can chime in here ...

Sorry, I've never played one, I just recognized it. I have been hoping grygrx would review it on bassfuzz.com. It's a very-modified muff-based fuzz, so I assume it works fine on actives, but surely someone here has tried it on an active bass and can chime in here ...

I know I have rubbish cables (they're next on the list once I have all the desired pedals), and I know the effects aren't in great positions (I want the blueberry to be upright ) and I know I can still make a bit of space for more (I will be filling these spaces in the following months with any luck), but this is the first time I've had a board which I can actually say is (more or less) full. I always aimed big in terms of pedalboard, I had a huge one and realised I wouldn't fill it in a million years, now I have this and I'm happy .

You literally have my dream board. Right down to every pedal. Very nice.

 

[250GBsOfAwesome]

Hey 250GB, how do you like the LPB? I bought one over the nets cus its cheap, and I found some jpgs of pink noise thru it, and it seemed to keep the signal "intact".

It's great. I does exactly what I need it to, it even adds a bit of color.

That's what I've heard; it's not a 100% clean, even boost. My understanding is that it scoops the mids a bit.

 

[JanusZarate]

Seriously, though... I do have a new board layout. I'll post photos later tonight.

I was curious about this myself. I have read many posts where TB'ers claim that the LPB-1 is "anything but clean". I personally know a lot of great guitarists that consider it very clean (of course they use the clean boost to get a dirty sound).

To my ears, the LPB-1 is very clean and pretty darn flat! Of course, putting it in front of a tube pre or amp will yield dirt, but as a booster in and of itself, I find it to do what it claims. And I'm not exactly an EH fan!

I attempted an objective test in the following post from a different thread:

Inspired by pedaltrains, i built this. Some planks of wood in a rockcase. I got tired of the velcro not sticking, so i thought, screw them.

Board's gonna change sooner or later. I'm building a wooly mammoth, and i'm considering buying a B:assmaster, so the two dist. boxes are likely to wander of.

I'm also gonna get rid of the synth, just not my cup of tea, need to think of something to replace it, though. i'd love to fit my zoom bfx708 on it, since i love the ringmod and the phaser with pedalcontrol, but there's no space

i e-mailed the maker of this pedal about his bass version(im guessing this is the one ur talking about) and he said this:

OK, Active pick-ups. As a rule, some pedals more than others will respond poorly to active
pickups at the input.

Generally however, my pedal isn't one of them.

Here is a quote from a post on "Talkbass.com", by one of my
customers. The discussion of course was the Pickle Pie and
Actives:

from "syciprider"

"I've used it on three active basses, an SR4 and two Bongos. IMO
the pedal responds well to playing dynamics and the volume knob
either way"

They were discussing the 1st Pickle Pie, which is even more
sensitive at the input than the "B" version.

The easiest mod to do if you're still worried about it, is for me
to put a trim-pot inside set at "stock". This will give you the
ability to push up the resistance on the input by opening up the
back of the pedal and turning the trimmer a bit with a screwdriver. This mod
is very subtle and simple, but effective. And best of all, I do it for
free upon request. It's one of those mods you probably won't need, but the mod
won't hurt anything so why not?

 

[J-chot]

I will post mine when I obtain my final pedal: a digitech whammy. (i'm selling my roland alpha juno to a friend this weekend)

 

[kesslari]

Version two (stable for a while) - added the Compulator.

 

[cheapbasslovin]

Ha!!!

Last time Boo said he was going to post a new pic tonight it took him about three days to get it done.

I give him 100 posts, minimum.

Pshh. Probably 150 at least.

Level 99 smart ass, eh? Man I'm still one higher than you.

 

[TOOL460002]

vertical support beams? vertical? you sir have thought outside the box and blown my mind. it almost startled me.

also- nice board. with those brackets your pedals would survive a hurricane.

Interesting.... I can't argue with a little bit of color or mid-scoop. My Jazz is pretty mid heavy anyways lol.

THAT WAS THE POST I GOT THE JPGS FROM!!!!!

Flipping thru the pics, there are some diffs, but not big enough ones to keep me from buying it.

Did I mention it was not much $$$ I figure if it doesn't quite work out, Barge will get some $$$ from me. Honestly, Im mostly just getting it as a 2nd opinion to the boost on my hema....
