PYPB 44: ...like Tetris with boxes, wires and cables

Seems expensive

View attachment 2833671 And another revision, trying to keep things compact. Ditched the aux switcher for the amt expression pedal instead. I can now sweep between two presets on the h9, super fun and useful! Pretty much set, might try find an old OC-2 and might get an expr pedal with a better sweep. But this still works great.
GAYWHORE? What is it?

A very nice board, similar with mine - El Capistan, H9 (just got it).
 
I'd love to see you od/fuzz and synth settings...
How good is the AMT pedal? Is it the expression or the volume?

I could put some in one of the eventide threads. It's dependent on the Tonehammer as it's my main "amp", so my drives are modeled around how I set that one also. I use one eq preset for bright/dark together with the Mesa Flux. One soft overdrive over to more drive on the crush algo. And a 2-band distortion on the sculpt algo, sort of like a DUg drive. There also going from fat to bright. And from distorted bottom to more distortion in the hi-end. The AMT is the expression version.
 
Tell me, please! Do you use Pitch Fuzz and Octaver? I have got H910 (core basic algorithm), Diatonic (bonus) and i have bought Quadravox. I am going to buy more - so i wonder of what is going to be next... Thanks!
I have a core too.
I mainly use synthonizer, crushstation, eq comp and sculpt. There are good things in all of them. Haven't found pitchfuzz that useful so not got it yet.
Ring mod is good and great sounding, makes good tremolo and fake Lesley also!

The one thing I really don't like about my OmniCabSim - I love it otherwise - is that it takes a convincing bass played into a synth pedal sound and makes it sound like a bass again, trying to be a synth.

I dealt with it by first modding the low end control of the pedal, which worked, then decided to run it on a parallel signal line.

It's such a great pedal for massaging the pedalboard sound (harsh) into a great direct sound. That rat of yours is going to love its new best friend.

I ended up selling mine because it made my sound too harsh. There's a resonance bump where the LPF rolls off, and with the amount of upper mid/low treble distortion I play with it just didn't jive. Once I heard the resonance I couldn't un-hear it. Really liked and appreciated it (along with the Drive Maker), and I love what Daniel is doing, just didn't do it for me after a while.

That's the same reason I'm replacing the VT bass. Because of the resonance hump. I'm hoping I can deal with that with the tweakability of the omnicabsim. I've actually been just using the record output of the Meatsmoke with decent results to hold me over until it comes in.
