Here's my latest configuration:

For anyone wondering about filter and synth dupes, I use the BSW primarily for octave/wah and the Micro Q-tron as a wah with more bottom end. The Bass Balls and Deep Impact are their own beasts.
 
ive been ranting and raving on these boards about how much i love my boss volume. ive had the 250k and 25k ernie ball volumes, and the new visual volume as well as an older dod volume. this boss is BOSS!

the treadle is comfortable and smooth, the volume swell is uniform (the ernie ball was not) and the features are beyond most other volume pedals - tuner out AND minimum volume knob. to be honest the tone loss is the eqivalent of the ernie ball - barely any, not enough to even consider really. micro loss. this pedal seems to get bad reviews but i am a volume enthusiest and love mine - plus at 75$ NEW its a great deal.

hope that helps. BTW i mostly use mine for volume control and smooth horn and string like swells.

thanx a lot mate :)
I was diggin' for that for a long time....its mine next
cheers

Just got the PT-2. I have a loop for the moog on the way and the two gaps will be filled with an Octavus Squeezer and a Korg DT-10, the 442 will probably be replaced with an Earthquake Devices Hummingbird. As I've said before I will eventually upgrade the cables, just want to get everything else first.

Very cool board. And I'd be interested to see what kind of stuff you play because your board in many ways is very similar to mine, or at least it will be when the last two pedals arrive. We even have two of the same pedals, and the others you have I'm guessing fill very similar needs to mine.

Give me a month (or more - I'm not in charge of pedal release dates ;)) and we'll have to compare notes . . .
 
What do you think about the maxon phaser?
It's very good, there are tonnes of nice tones. I bought it to try to replicate a Jet Phaser's sound (I have owned one of those too, the power issues and it's value made me sell it) and this seemed to fit the bill, it seems slightly brighter in sound than the Jet Phase which I kind of prefer. It also has true bypass and a nice normal 9v which is also a plus :).

The band that I'm in now is very techno based. We've had a few jams together and it seems my pedals are working well for it.

It is a great board though, I originally wanted to get loads more pedals on the board but decided these were the basics that I want/need and once I get the Octavus Squeezer I'll be able to achieve a lot of different sounds..
 
Can anyone recommend a looper that is an easy to use in a live setting as the Boomerang? This is one huge board for so few effects and I'd love to downsize a bit .....

Ed, I have been trying to find a smaller alternative to my analog spring reverb pedal, but it just works so well for what I'm doing. I've decide to keep it regardless of the size.

I do have a Boss rc-20 xl looper and it is super easy to use. They have a newer single pedal version, but I haven't tried it yet.

You know, I'll bet you can fit all that on a Pedaltrain Jr if you get creative with it.
 
well its been a while since i last posted my board.

just to remind you guys:

this pedal is AWESOME!!!
 
Hey Phatbass! Love the latest board refinement!

You could probably squeeze a little bit more on there with a slightly different power supply set-up ;). Then the powerstrip and Dunlop block(s) could be removed in favour of one power supply.

I've done a similar idea using a Burkey power supply (though this is one of the slightly larger ones). I needed this one though as it's the only thing that will power the Eventide Timefactor, a Whammy, and all my 9 volt'ers'. Check post# 696 for the photo.

Just seriously hoping the Aguilar Tonehammer does the job I am expecting so the Xotic BB and a blender can be removed :bassist:
 
hey andy, thanks for the compliments!

and thanks for the suggestions too. i just checked out burkey power supply, the Flatliner six looks awesome! do you know where i can get those? its pricey but maybe i could try to squeeze in my budget. i checked tonefactor, they only have the big one.

thanks again!

I bought mine directly from Burkey and was happy to find out they are just down the road from me. The joys of being an Englishman living in the Netherlands! :) They were really helpful and nice to deal with.
Check: www.burkey.nl and give them a shout with any questions.

Maybe is worth checking how steep the charges are for shipping to you. Probably will be a bit, but with the rest of the money we are all blowing on our boards it's always worth it!;)

Final temptation after the Tonehammer will be to replace the wah as I have a love/hate relationship with the Dunlop. Still enjoying the Wilson?
