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

[Matt Dean]

My ears have taken a turn towards a different flavor of dirt and as a result I have two old favorites back on my board - the Volt Thrower and MBD.

 

[Jakeman]

Anxiously awaiting my new Pedaltrain to complete the Broughton fuzz board. I've got a group I play with that needs fuzz painted ALL OVER it. Samples below - fair warning, extremely low-quality cell-phone practice recordings. But you can hear all the opportunities for serious dirt just waiting to be had.

 

[Jared Lash]

Love this setup.

I've been deciding on final placement and I think this is it. Once it's wired up I think it will stay as is for quite a while.

Updates to the Mothership: traded the Source Audio Reflex and got a much smaller Dunlop DVP-3 for my expression needs. Using expression/MIDI to still have the main 3 pedals I use it for thanks to the DMC Micro. Got a Broughton mini PLL (use to have the big one but this one seems more "practical" and space saving to me). Also use to have a Iron Ether FMeron and sold it to fund a bass a while back. Was able to get one back! Overall really liking this board that has stayed relatively stable for a while now.

Hey friends, will this mxr mini brick power a helix stomp along with my other pedals?

I don't think so. If I remember correctly, the HX needs 1200-1500mah to boot up and run. I have an HX Stomp XL and the only one of my power supplies I've been able to successfully power it with was a TrueTone CS12 and two of the included adaptors.

 

[davedamage]

Otherwise, you need a power supply with at least two 500 mah outputs and a current doubling cable, and that's before powering any of your other pedals.

 

[oysterphish]

Thanks, gang. Any recommendations on power supply that will power 6-7 other pedals (all 9V far under 300mA each) and my soon to arrive stomp?

 

[davedamage]

Yup.

CS12 – Truetone

The CS7 may work for you, too, but the 12 will cover everything you could possibly need.

Cioks DC7 + Cioks Crux. Or just a DC7 with some doubling and splitter cables.

DC7

two needed for stomp and then you could easily cover 6-7 more using one of the cioks 2-3 cable chains

 

[bassmonkeee]

Just as I was about to say that this might be the final form for a while, I realized this picture is from before I added the HPF back. Oops.

 

[Andy westwood]

 

[oysterphish]

Could I get some help powering these pedals? I think all I need is w a CIOCKS DC7, correct? From what I understand I can power the Stomp XL from 2 outlets? Advice on the cable I would need to do this? Can I safely chain a few of the other pedals together, too? The DG AO will be swapped in and out with a Origin Effects Bass Rig and ToneHammer from time-to-time until I find the one I like best so 18v will be needed for that line sometimes. I've been looking at a Trickfish Minnow which needs 12v. Will this suit all my needs?

New board time! I've had a pedaltrain metro 16 for a while and found it just a bit too small, but loved the form factor and wasn't too eager to go much larger. Also wanted a hardcase, so the solution was going custom. 18 x 9 rosewood board with a tolex and tweed hardcase, with enough room underneath for an Element and a BBA and some cables. Also switched from EBS to Tour Gear cables, and very happy with that.

Signal chain is Broughton BBA -> T-16 -> Doom 2 -> Dystopia -> Xerograpgh Deluxe -> Lowrider -> Hypersleep -> Fake Plastic Trees -> Collaboration Devices Compressor -> Studio Boost Mini (rehoused, so probably sacrilegious) -> Noble -> Element

Everything powered by the Noble, just within the limits in regards to mA consumption. Also not quite sure about the compressor placement yet. This will do for couch playing, I should think. Also pretty happy with the tetris work, not much room to spare.

Will be adding some barefoot buttons, and possibly a LBA 2020s or 23Fe. We'll see, but happy for now.

Yeah, the DC7 will take care of you. For the Stomp XL, you can either use the 8800 flex parallel adapter with the 3050 type 3 cable (yellow) to power it from two taps, or you can use the Crux with the DC7.

I have to be that guy, but do you have a photo of how yours is done?
