Post Your Pedalboard - Part I

[Christian Waiau]

MEGA RIG OF DOOM: (not that I have an ego or anything... )
Panarama:

Looking back, it's been sugessted a couple of times that I just combine all my FX into 1 big board!

where do you get connector cables like that?

 

[HRC Matt]

i think they are george l cables and if so, you can buy them off the bay and a few other online locations. just google it.

Yep. The black covers came with the pedal board kit. That's 2 kits you see there BTW!

Anyone running the Digitech X-Series Bass Squeeze?

 

[bass-shy]

I had one for a little while. It was alright but it got pretty noisy. I liked the idea of having dual-band compression, but the execution of their pedal was a little lacking, IMO. It was built very solid, though.

My rooms rather a mess right now, and so is my rig, but he's a quick pic:

It's a cell phone camera pic, so sorry about the low quality... My rig at the moment is going as follows:

ProCo Vintage Rat > DigiTech Whammy 4 > Dunlop 105q Crybaby Bass Wah > Boss BF-2 Flanger > DigiTech Bass Synth Wah

The two pedals at the top are my Boss ODB-3 and Boss BF-3 pedals, which I now have replacements for, so I'm looking to sell them soon. I'm also looking at maybe picking up a couple new effects tomorrow, and hopefully my homemade distortion will be done soon

Fun stuff.

What are some settings you've found to like on the Boss Flanger? I've got one but I hardly use it... can't seem to get a useful setting, or one that doesn't seem to boost the gain when I click it on.

 

[Dash Rantic]

Hmm, well I haven't had any problem with my BF-2 boosting the gain... As for the settings, I change them pretty often, but here's what I've got now:

Manual: 45 degrees to the left
Depth: 90 degrees to the right
Rate and Res both: 45 degrees to the right

That's about how I'm using it right now.

[Dash Rantic]

Oh, another thing: Do you use overdrive/distortion a lot with the BF-2? I think on bass, the BF-2 sounds a lot better clean than dirty, and vice-versa on guitar... Mess around with it

-Dash

(double post )

 

[Razor]

BF3 is what I have...and I haven't tried it on with distortion. But anytime I use it it tends to boost the signal...the BF3 is what you USED to use right? Now you're using the BF2?

 

[Dash Rantic]

Yeah, I'm using the BF-2 now. I got it used pretty cheap (US $40), and really love it, blows the BF-3 away. (and on the distortion topic, the BF-3 sounds pretty good with distortion with bass, too... But overall, not quite a s good though.)

I think the BF-3 is a fine flanger, but I don't really have much use for all the wierd modes that the BF-3 has. The tremolo function actually was pretty good, but not worth $120... Pick up the BF-2 if you can.

New pedals...
still not as impressive as some of your pedalboards, but I like it more and more. Still gassing for Delay and a not too expencieve guitar like distortion...
greets!!

How's the synth?

 

[Terrorstorm]

It took me some time to get used to it, but now I'm very impressed !
It does the old synth sounds very well and it's also usable for fuzz sounds, especially with the Octave up added!

I have a vintage EHX MicroSynth and a new one. IMO the old is so much better. It's more greasy and organic, its warmer sounding. But also more noisy. Not that the noise bothers me, i see it as part of the effect. There's nothing bypassed! I ended up selling the new one.
Funny how the new one's control is mirrored compared to the old one.

 

[Terrorstorm]

never saw the old one.. have you got a pic? or sound samples?

 

[Dash Rantic]

Alright, two new pedals added, time for an update... (And here's to hoping that an actual board isn't required for posting in here!)

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

The new additions are the DigiTech Talker and Danelectro FAB echo. I've only had them for a couple of days, but they are great.

The FAB Echo isn't insanely flexible, but the sound quality is *very* good, and for only $15 at GC, it's a steal--everyone who's ever thought about getting delay should go out and get one right now. You can't go wrong.

The DigiTech Talker on the other hand is one strange beast... Picked it up used for $100, and just got the mic cables for it today. Some of the modes are basically worthless, but a few are pretty cool--I pretty much prefer the straight talkbox emulator the best, though the "Alien" and "Taz" modes also sound kinda cool. There's a few problems, but nothing drastic--and it's one awesome effect. I could post a full review with sound clips at some point, if anyone wants.

yes, dash, i would LOVE to hear some sound samples of the talker...i would never use one, but, i always like hearing new crazy sounds...the taz setting intrigues me...the whole pedal intrigues me, AND my guitarist

 

[bass-shy]

I would love a review. Those DT Talkers are friggin' sweet!
