Post your pedalboard, Part XV

[Nyarlathotep]

It's so... so... so not 'Dan'-ish. Someone get this man some god damn tubes and 15s.

Well. when you live in a townhouse, don't want to disturb the neighbors, and have almost no money......

My new board might look like this:

Except with real pedals.

thats um, a really good pic.....

Note that the Moog phaser isn´t part of the singalchain atm.

Is that a Red Witch Empress Chorus near the top left? If so, how do you like it? Nice board, too!

bassterix, your board rocks

Thanks.

Yes it is. At the moment it´s the only pedal I want to replace (Analog Man BI-chorus maybe). Don´t get me wrong, it sounds good, but it´s clearly made for guitar. Active basses are too hot for it.

How do you like the Earthquake wah?

Thanks.

Hmmm. That seems to be the case with all of the Red Witch pedals. That's too bad because they're really interesting and cool designs.

+1 yeah how do you like it? On of the pedals I really wonder how it sounds like..

 

[bassterix]

How do you like the Earthquake wah?

What can I say, it´s my favorite wah-pedal. It contains 12 different sounds and it´s built to last. I use it a lot with the mammoth. Maybe a little too subtle used alone, but great with fuzz and dirt boxes.

 

[chicago_mike]

Gotcha. I good wah that works with other stuff. Not too pronounced then.

Any opinions (or better yet, clips) of the Alfred? I've heard the samples on the website, but never knew anyone here that had one.

Sry no clips, but the ones on the website are quite accurate.
The Alfred is a warm tubelike sounding overdrive. It´s strength lies in light overdrive sounds.

Very very cool board. What is the signal order currently?

Very very cool board. What is the signal order currently?

Thanks again.

Xotic Trilogic -> Xotic BB Preamp -> Barge Concepts GLZ-1 -> Z.Vex Woolly Mammoth -> Loop of the Xotic X-Blender:
FX send -> MSD Automagic Earthquake Bass Wah -> EHX Bassballs -> Dighom/Scaiman Alfred -> EBS OctaBass -> Catalinbread V8 -> Catalinbread Hyper Pak II -> FX return
-> Xotic Bass RC Booster -> Red Witch Empress Chorus -> EBS DynaVerb -> "stereo" to amp and external preamp.

I'm not really into effects much, but thought I should post what I have.

Very cool setup, what's the signal order? Very nice little loop switcher on the right, what's the no-knob job on the top left? DI?

 

[slyjoe]

Thanks. I don't compete with your guys' boards, but I play a little.

Those 3 are little homegrown boxes. Top right - 2 inputs (bass + acoustic g****r) to loop through the mPOG and the tuner. Independent sends (acoustic goes out the top left box, bass goes through rest of pedal train) for both.

Bottom left is a simple looper with the EQ and Chorus - I was always using them together for effect- one stomp, both in and out quick.

Top left - XLR input from my homegrown 1U rack power supply/switch/outlet strip for 9V power and bass signal. Top left output is just for the acoustic. Bottom left output is bass only output when a DI is (rarely) needed. Then, there are 9V outputs for all the pedals - no AC on the board. The bass signal through the board gets sent back to the rack unit, and the rack unit delivers power to the board.

So, the order for acoustic is in (top right - A), microPOG, tuner, out at top left (bass muted).

For the bass, in (top right - B), microPOG, tuner, Maxon AF-9, EBS Multicomp, Sansamp, to loop with AnalogMan Chorus w/deep switch -> Boss GEB-7, then out to the top left box.

I wouldn't say that at all...that's a fine setup right there

Thanks for the signal flow, very cool.

 

[slyjoe]

It works (for now) for me. I see a lot of discussion here about various fuzz/distortion and synthy effects. Never seem to have ever had a need for those.

If I keep reading these threads long enough though I'll probably end up with a boatload of effects I won't use

 

[scotch]

slyjoe, that set-up is brilliant! I love the integrated power supply/signal over xlr implementation. Would you post a pic of the rack-mounted distro?

 

[Higgie]

Slyjoe I really like your board. Cool pedal choices, and very nice switching units. Very practical!
