why are blue LEDs so cool?

 

[saxnbass]

Cause they're blue.

 

[sokmonke]

rocktron pulse has a flashing blue LED.
Damn Fine!

 

[moogboy]

Those that tell don't know, and those that know don't tell.

Here's my latest board setup (and hopefully the last configuration for a long time). It's the cleanest and neatest it's ever been!

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

The signal chain is as follows:

AMP <= EHX Clone Theory <= Morley Power Wah <= EHX Little Big Muff <= EHX Bass Micro Synthesizer <= EBS Multicomp <= BASS

I'm working on getting a rackmount tuner so that I can make good use of the "Tuner Mute" button on my amp's footswitch (also mounted on the board).

EDIT: And in case anyone's wondering why I've got the Multicomp upside-down on the top-left... I'm a lefty, so it was easier to put it there and keep my instrument cable out of my way

I knew you'd come around sometime!

 

[moogboy]

okay, since i dont want to use a camera at all i will just detail my signal chain. here goes somethin'
Bass-A/B Box-MXR Blue Box-Dunlop 105Q bass wah-Moog Moogerfooger MF-101 LPF-Boss OC3 Octave-Boss CEB-3 Bass Chorus-Moog Moogerfooger MF-103 12 stage Phaser-Boss Rc20XL Looper-Crappy volume pedal-Roland Space Echo-Gallien Krueger 1001RBII with 2 4X10 cabs. also on my board is a Moog Moogerfooger CP-251 Control Processor to mess with my Moogerfoogers, and there is a Power Pad II and a Patch Pad but i only use the Power Pad.
i use a Monster Bass cable to go to the A/B box and the rest is just whatever was lying around that i found.

...my latest board setup...

looks good, Mr. Boo! i like the planet waves cabling. makes everything look... more classy.

 

[HRC Matt]

boo- how do you like the EH nano line? I have heard some issues regarding volume dropping with the nanos. whats your experience, especially with the clone theory?

 

[OrangeSun]

moogboy - how exactly does the CP-251 control moogerfoogers? I've been planning on getting two Yamaha FC-7 (exp pedals) to control the amount and cutoff of my MF 101. how does it work with the control processor?

Volume dropping is only an issue with specific pedals. I've had a generally positive experience with the XO and Nano pedals. The Clone Theory is technically part of the XO line, simply because of its size (The ones with "Nano" written on them are the tiny MXR-sized ones).

The Clone Theory has no volume drop issues, and it sounds awesome in both Chorus modes (Vibrato mode, on the other hand, kills the low end on bass... but can be used for some really weird sounds. It's starting to grow on me). The Nano Clone, on the other hand, has problems in addition to its volume drop.

The others generally work great on bass, but exceptions include the Pocket Metal Muff (low end issues) and Micro Q-Tron (same low end issues as the Mini on Hi-Pass and Band-pass, same volume boosting on Low-Pass mode). I've heard generally good things so far about the others, with the few complaints usually being about the sound (subjective, as you might expect). I've tried out a lot of them on my own, too. Search the forum for some of my reviews, as well as reviews from others.

With that being said, my Clone Theory isn't for sale

[Mackanbass]

Well this is my all new scandinavian borad Swedish pedals and a ToneTrunk from Denmark
Chain = Octabass -> Envelope -> Compressor -> Preamp/Drive

I think I´ll have to add a tuner soon too, too bad EBS doesn´t make one

 

[The BurgerMeister]

you don't need a tuner... the Valvedrive will do it for you! it's one of the reasons it costs so much...

if you are looking to keep it scandinavian, i think a peterson tuner would be your best bet. (it was probably spelled "petersson," originally. )

nice board, by the way!

How did you get that PP2 to power your Q-tron? Does it?? My Q-tron runs on 24v.. Thats why im gonna use regular adapters inside my board..

Im sketchin up my board @ the moment.. Realy need to check all the costs.. just the patchcables will end up ruining me as Ive setteled on george l's..

Itll look something like this..
[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]


Still missing is the EHX Fuzz (maby itll be the little big muff instead..) DI and Tuner..

Started building my own AB box and Loop-strip.. Also rebuilding an old Chorus of mine.. Making it more like the Moollon chorus with a big "Rate" knob acceable to use with your foot..

Will install this in an ordenary hardcase..

Ill post pics when I get it built and set up..

While the PP2 can't power the Q-Tron like an ordinary pedal, it does have a courtesy AC outlet on the back for a wall wart. That's most likely how he's powering it.

Cool board design, BTW!
