Post your pedalboards - Part IV

Out of all the BYOC kits the ones you have would be at the top of my list to build. However, few people here seem to have BYOC stuff or know much about them...soo....I have a few quick questions...

How difficult were they to assemble??

And how do the compressor and filter sound on bass???

Ever soldered before? Then you're halfway there. The most difficult part, IMO, is ID'ing the resistors. The instructions have the value, followed by the ring layout. All in all, a simple task, but some of the colors run together in my old contact lenses ;)

I wasn't in love with the comp initially. However, with tweaking the internal trimpot, and adding the attack knob, I like it a great deal more. Please don't ask me to describe the sound, I'm just not good at those things.

As for the filter, it's great. I've never had an envelope filter before that I liked. This one is subtle, and that is great for me. It's nothing like, say, a Bassballs. I'm about to send it over to Spanky to play with next to his Tone Factor and to just have some fun with.

My technicolor pedalboard. It's a Pedaltrain Pro board.

bottom L-R - Lovetone Meatball, Lovetone Cheese Source, Electro-Harmonix Bass Micro Synth, Korg DT-10

top L-R - Demeter Compulator, Diamond Memory Lane, Maxon FL-9, Analogman Chorus w/Deep Switch, Analogman True Bypass Looper


I've still got a Red Witch Deluxe Moon Phaser on the way and possibly a Red Witch Pentavocal Tremolo. And YES, I need George L's and to clean up my board, it will happen after I get all the pedal's and can get them all situated.
 
Not really a board yet...but its getting there:

JEEZ, mark, you make my stomach hurt, I want your board so much.

:) :)

WHOA! :eek:

I can feel the funk from here!

Nice board - it costs more than everything I own, combined!

I envy you and your non-toasted Bass Micro Synthesizer... :p

yeah it sure does get funky. and yes I LOVE my BMS. The more and more I mess with it, the more I realize I like it better than my old Korg G5. It's an awesome synth. Hopefully you'll get yours back soon:hmm:

nice Meatball bro. I love mine too. They are funky noise machines.:)

Very clean board, Mark! :rolleyes:

In all seriousness, that is probably my favorite board ever. It's full of some big daddy pedals. Congrats. ;-D
 
Yeah don't do it man... You love that thing and have been flying its flag for sometime. Keep hold of it for a bit longer IMO.

I'll let my LBM go if I find a better replacement. Emphasis on the if...

So far, the MXR Blowtorch became its companion instead of its successor. And the Wooly Mammoth isn't my thing... the Swollen Pickle doesn't seem different enough to warrant the expense of its boutique clones... I don't want a Big Muff clone... the Tone Bender sounds good but doesn't seem necessary in my arsenal...

Heck, only the B:Assmaster has me intrigued. And if I bought that, I bet it'd just end up joining the other two distortion pedals on my board :D
