i might get a Whammy to create the effect of a Rhythm guitarist during a solo. all i need to do is stick a little bit of OD on, and instant Rhythm guitar.

Or get two, run them in parallel, set one for an octave up and the other for an octave and a fifth so you could get a more power chord like sound. It would probably sound nothing like a real guitar but could still be interesting.

You are brilliant! i might get a second a/b box and run that setup as a Guitar solo thing on an extra pedalboard. now i really want a Whammy.

While you're at it get a MIDI pickup for your bass and plug in into your MOTM's MIDI/CV converter. If they weren't so expensive I'd build a system myself. Amazing stuff. In case you didn't notice it, "Sonicvi" is a reference to the Moog synth of the same name.

CB Ball Bass with Dark Stars into
1) Loop-master two loop true-bypass pedal feeds
a) XP100 Whammy/wah...I only use the whammy
b) Vintage Boss Bass Flanger BF-2B
2) Fulltone Bassdrive
3) Foxrox Octron
4) Crybaby Bass wah (I modified it to true-bypass)
5) BYOC Digital Delay w/ true-bypass
6) EHX Small Stone

Also on there is a Loop-master A/B-Y (used it with my Mesa) and a Korg GT-3 tuner. All housed in a Gator case with the Gator power supply.

I'd like to add a POG and a Micro Bass Synth (though, one time I played a Bass Synth it sounded and tracked awfully...could have been a bad demo model in the store...)

^^^ I like the board. If you're going for the POG, definately give it a try first if you can, in the end, the tracking didn't overcome the fact that it sounded a little off to me. I got rid of mine, and from the samples I've heard on here would love to give an octron a go... in the end, although it was fun, the pog wasn't worth the size, power supply, and quirks. (I know, covered in other threads and all...)

good quality picture:

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

nothing new though, just a good picture, all my other pics were taken with either my phone or the camera built-in to my computer, both are like 1.3 megapixels... this one is 5!

I'm going to get some new stuff hopefully this week though. Getting an OD, a distortion or fuzz (haven't decided yet), a chorus, and maybe the ernie ball stereo volume/pan, and getting rid of the ME-50B, and maybe the TR-2 (I just dont use it ever...)

i noticed, and its funny, i always wanted that particular synth. who makes a midi pickup that does not work lke the roland where you need to have a module?

NIGHT SHOT! :D

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

The two pedals with blue LEDs are my Morley Power Wah and EHX Bass Micro Synthesizer. I replaced their old red LEDs for a cool new look.

I'm thinking of eventually replacing the LEDs on my EBS Multicomp, EHX Clone Theory, and EHX Little Big Muff, too... but I'm still undecided.

Actually, with just the octave up function, it actually deals with power chords pretty well. Doesn't sound amazing, but with some dirt before it, it really fills in the sound.

Stereo Rig.

Signal Order:

Bass->BTR2000 w/ footswitch->BEQ700->DigiDelay->Signal 1 "Clean" to BX4210A

Here's a quick'n'muddy couple of nighttime shots of my board as it looks tonight:

pboard3-21.jpg


bass --> Strobostomp --> Blueberry --> X-Blender
(Blender loop) --> FX25 --> Jet Phaser
(Blender out) --> Aramat tremolo

As soon as I can repair it I'll be adding an MXR Distortion II, and I have my greedy eyes on an Empress trem to replace the Aramat. I suppose I'll get another Pedaltrain Jr. and put the Empress, Jet Phaser, and Distortion II on that, and stick one of my pedal compressors in the spot occupied now by the tremolo. (For the curious, I'm using a rack comp presently; alternating between a Rane DC 24 and a Symetrix 501).

Got everything sort of in order again:
[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

and the obligatory night shot:
[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

BBE Opto Stomp -> Danelectro FAB Overdrive -> Arion bass EQ -> Danelectro FAB Flange -> Boss TU-2

I use the EQ to boost lows and a bit of highs in the overdrive. The TU-2 is at the end just so i can mess with the effects chain or take an effect out easily if it doesn't work.

I'm actually liking the FAB flange more than my Phase 90 or CEB-3, so that's going to stay. I'm sure there's better flangers but I am definitely content with this one.

If it's just a burnt-out LED, then all you do is de-solder the old one, and solder a new one in. The only complicated part is making sure you have the legs of it connected to the correct wires; you can test that before soldering it in by connecting it with alligator-clip leads.

It's always possible that the problem is somewhere else in the circuit, in which case you should bring it to a repair tech.
