Nice toes!

Why thank you, I grew them myself!

And for you Darkharted, a less blurry picture ;) I moved the Compressor before the Wah now, so I have a ton of space on the left hand side for more pedals! ;)

Oh it sounds absolutely crazy trust me. If I turn the sensitivity all the way up on the Bass Synth Wah, the slightest movement triggers sounds. If I hit a harmonic, the cycle of the harmonic (the wavelength I think...I'm not down with all the technical mumbo-jumbo :p) But obviously as the harmonic vibrates the volume is gonna increase at certain points in the cycle. Well that randomly sets off the trigger of the BSW.

Of course then it's going through 3 different stages of gain, (well 4, I think the P+C has 2 gain stages). It then also goes through the filter, and chorus. If I didn't have the compressor, I probably wouldn't have working ears. I'm gonna try and transfer my microphone from this computer to the one in my room, and then record some sound clips.

Edit: What I like to do is hit a harmonic with the volume off on my bass. Then as you turn it up you can control when the BSW triggers, so you can create little rhythms of random sounds, which is quite cool :p
 
The 506 is ace ive had the zoom 3000b and the boss GT6 not to mention a HUGE amount of pedals both standard and boutique and ive never matched the sound of that little zoom, ok theres hiss, but live no one can notice, thats the board of a man who has tried it all and found himself going backwards and backwards to stuff that just works well and sounds good, recently my faithful Amdek CHK100 chorus pedal died which gutted me to the core, so i replaced it with the CE2 i also used to run a CE5 but ditched that too!
