PYPB 38: When 'a few' just isn't enough...
- Thread starter pantherairsoft

So many awesome boards in this thread!
Alot of changes for quite a few peeps.
All lookin smokin.
I'm trying on the BEF/HH/MWBD thing and having a ton of fun wit it.
As often said "this incarnation will last me a long while"
- - famous last words - -
Bass- -Tu-3>MXR BOD>Xero>Oxide>Narwhal>PS-6>EHX Freeze>TAFM>MWBD>BEF- -Amp
For the curious, yes the Narwhal was a prototype before the Oxide. A "mammothy" type one-off-proto that ended up here in little ole Australia! I lurve it!
If you ever get tired of the Narwhal, you should send it on a tour of the states!
Had to do some rearranging to make it easier to get around on, so here it is again as of this morning:
Minor, but great addition of the Elements ... now I just need to see if I'm creative enough to squeeze the RatTail on ....
No fantastic story really, I bought from someone else here in Oz and not sure how they have come about it either. It may have exchanged a couple of hands before making it over here too. I don't think Taylor was even sure how many hands it had gone through.
@ Matt Dean - - I don't think i'll be parting with it anytime soon
I just looked back through emails and it's a mammoth type with a "pick-up simulator" added.
No changes but a revamp is planned.
POST REVAMP
Really digging this setup (had to use my iPhone to take a pic as my DSLR is at the rehearsal space).
I was liking what I was able to do using the LS-2 as a blend with the DL4. It gives me more options for volume control and wet dry blend. I can get set the Delay to completely wet and still blend some clean in which aids in preserving the initial attack.
So the signal chain is as follows.
Bass->FEAlabs OptiFET->OC-2->Supercollider->Utter Stutter->CA Ring Mod->LS-2->TU-2->Amp
- Utter Stutter Feedback Loop: MF105B Bass MuRF->Wolf Computer->Wrong Side of Uranus
- LS-2 Blend Loop: Drasp Modded DL4
Finally happy with this board.
Because its a crappy iPhone pic, the signal is: gr-20>whammy>polish love>supercollider>oc-2>xerograph>ps-3>m5>DHA pre>rc-2

MSLP Custom Tremolazer with waveform mod
Roland RE-20 Space Echo
Loving this set-up! Use the LS-2 as a way to keep everything with a * in its effects loop (GR) and still be able to bypass the Groove Regulator. That way I can use MY dynamics to open and control the filter but keeps the filter at the loop for filter control of just about EVERYTHING!. It all sounds so good in its loop! Next with the OC-2 (synth modded), I can use the cleanest possible signal to trigger. Next are all my fuzzes going into the Guyatone Compressor. (this is set up this way because I hate running a comp into a fuzz but love it into the BSY-600. I also like running fuzz into it and with the compressor before the synth but after the fuzz allows it to track the fuzz along with the synth. Terrordactlyl comes next for filter control of everything before. Next to the H.O.G. with a compressor before to tighten it up. This goes to my flanger than lastly custom 18-stage phaser to add some subtle (or not!) modulation. Now the effects loop ends and goes to the Dunlop 105Q as I always have seen a wah as a big tone knob so that way it can control it all with its range. Tremolo makes sense later to me as its just a volume control. Lastly we have a Roland Space Echo to delay/oscillate/send it all to SPACE! Overall this set-up really works well, allows me to use my dynamics to control it all and it looks cool!
The latest and greatest. Only had the chance to play the new ones with headphones, got it set up too late. The Randy's Revenge is way fun but probably scores lowest for utility on my board, it brings the crazy. The Behemoth II sounds so nice, it's just a gentle giant and plays pretty nicely with others but I think it needs to move closer to the start of the chain, it's gonna take a lil' bit to get a handle on where best to put it, but so far I dig it. I was getting killer sounds going Behemoth II > Xerograph > Randy's Revenge though, fun night.

I absolutely love this! Doesn't help my gas though.
Jeebus dear Lord.....those three MK pedals being right next to each other should weigh more than dark matter. That's just insane.
Well.....
time on yer hands while the Mrs is on a grrls night out lead to radical pedal surgery spawned from the dreaded "what if I..." thought.
I really wanted to put the M9 back up, but where??? There was no room at the Inn Good Sir!
Ok, so I thought that if I put some pedals on a mini - in a config I am likely to use by itself - I would have room on the PT to put the rest including the M9. I could put the mini in front of it, or in a loop on the LS-2, for max-killing-power!
The mini worked out great!
I have 2 drummers, 1 in particular, who want to do some electronica/d&b/dub so I want to use the BEF with HH for fun and get some serious wobble factor with the M9.
Now..... how the hell am I going to route this? LOL!I am still to work out if I want to LS-2-loop some of the peds or ...... meh. I'll have to work that one out!
Any ideas with what you see there TB?
I'll have to have a go at wiring that up tomorrow as it's snooze time in the land of Oz!

I really like that Mini!
I've been looking for power cables like those with angled plugs at both ends. It seems like a great way to save some space between pedals. Any idea where to get them separately?
I'll spend some time tonight comparing them and thinking about that, but off the top of my head they both can be set up to do Atari-ish sounds but the range of other sounds on them is quite different. They differ enough to justify having both of them if you're into the weird. If you were shopping between one and the other it would be a tough call, the RR is so chimerical, the Franta has a narrower purview but it does what it does so well. I'll post back later with better info.
