so i smell another tool fan boy?
lol yay, im not alone....
oh and also, if you want the br-2 and fuzz part in jambi to sound right, put the br-2 before the distortion
also, put the whammy at the very begining of the chain, it will track MUCH better....
and this next part is a personal thing, i prefer the tuner at the beigning, but thats just me....
Lol with all the posts i've posted and the User title, i thought it'd be obvious. I should probably post on TT one day
I only lurk there but i always see you, Tbird and Brad there.Anyways,
1) Yes i know that, I watched Brad's pedalboard vid
2) It will? Hmm.. So i'll have to do Whammy-> Wahwah
If i could only find some people for a Tool cover band on Long Island lol Oh well~ I'm not gonna use the effects for just Tool though-- i also wanna experiment with them, I already have with the whammy.
changed my setup, but I don't have pictures yet. Here is the setup:
Bass =(Line A)> POG => QTron => Ibanez TS5 => "NABY" Channel A => Digitech Jamman Mic Input
||||||=(Line B)> EHX LBM => "NABY" Channel B => Digitech Jamman Instrument Input
|||||| Jamman Output => Boss CH1 => "!!!" (DIY Booster) => Amp
For those that don't know, the NABY is my homemade channel switcher, two footswitches, one cuts channel A off, the other cuts channel B off.
I'm back to one amp instead of two (got tired of lugging both around). I'm liking it just as much so far. I use a Y cable to split my signal at the beginning, then merge them together in the Jamman. By using the mic input and the instrument input I can adjust the levels to my liking. It ends up working similarily to a Boss LS-2. I'll probably get one if I ever decide to get rid of my Jamman.
I'll get a pic up in the next few days. One interesting thing is I am mounting my Jamman underneath my board. Since I don't need to use the footswitches how I'm using it now, I figured why waste the board space? It works pretty well.

lol, i think the wah wont effect the tracking much
1)because its not really changing anything but the frequency, the note is still the note, but like distortion would confuse the whammy some and it wont be able to add the right harmony or shift
2) i dont think youll be using the wah and whammy at the same time too often lol
Here, a new picture lol
just out of curiosity, why put the autowah and tuner at the end?
also, try putting the wah wah after the distortion, i know its a personal preference thing, but you get such a crazier sound with it after
i don't know if thats an autowah or an envelope filter, but if it is an envelope filter like I think it is, the filter could react to the effects before it this way. running distortion => env. filter is a popular way to get a synthy sound. there are other effects that can have a significatn effect on how the filter reacts. harsh tremolo before one sounds pretty cool on sustained notes. never tried flanger => filter, could be cool
ok hold on a sec..... i feel a bit ignorant now lol. i thought autowah and envelope filter were the same thing.... and its an auto wah, i have the same pedal.... guyatone br-2 bottom wah rocker.
and actually, putting it before the distortion would give it more of a synth sound. with this pedal anyway.. cant speak for others
I read in the Wah manual that if you put the wahwah after distortion, it could make a "Quack" sound.. so i was trying to avoid that.
I put the tuner and Auto-wah last for no real reason...Just an order i picked.
edit: This Board is for guitar AND bass--- so the MT-2 is not used for bass and the BR-2 is not used for guitar.
Haha thanks guys, heres some more detailed pics of the board.
its kinda cool, it has little tabs that fit boss pedals perfectly. Unfortunatly digi tech pedals are a bit tough to deal with but others i might just bend the taps down for.I think my next pedals will be a real good compressor (ebs or demeter) and a graphic eq (possibly mxr 10 band)

I seem to be a verb, an evolutionary process...
I find both the Boss MT-2 and HM-2 to be quite good distortions for bass
Give the MT-2 a go sometime.Also, good move on moving the Whammy up the other end of the signal chain.
The BR-2 is an envelope filter/auto wah
Well i use the MT-2 for a little grit for the schism solo and H. but it doesn't sound as good so that's why i don't consider it for bass.
I'm probably gonna get a colorsound in the next 2 weeks though.
can we get some sound clips of that NES?
somebody has some cash to burn lol
Well, now that I've actually put my stompboxes on a board I might as well post it here...
Chain is:
bass -> Octabass -> MultiComp -> Drive Plus -> Metalizer -> Bass Wah -> Flanger -> Bass Chorus -> Bass Equalizer -> BDDI -> Amp.
The DOD Ice Box will be a gift to a guitarded friend, as I don't really need it...
I need some tidying up, and better cables... Hehe.

I need to update as well. I've done some major revamping the past few weeks, more than doubled my pedal count. I've got another couple additions to make first.
I'll try to get some sorted in the near future, I've got to get used to using it.
You have to adapt your playing some what..
Can you explain how you play through an NES?
