PYPB XL: Midlife Crisis

#21
I keep moving things around, experimenting...

Right now I'm trying the Monarch (@ 15v) into the TFR and Bluebeard. Ok with the BB, not great with the TFR... Time to move it again, after the BB and TFR. It's good with the B3K after it, but what isn't?

Ch.2 is all spaceship synth like whooshing plasma gun kinda stuff, so that'll stay as is until I can afford more noise boxes.

in > schism > b3k > disaster transport > submarine > out
ch.1 - monarch > tall font russian > bluebeard > bmc
ch.2 - unpleasant surprise > bottom feeder > faye sing

Dual expression pedal is off the board but still in use... that lasted like, a day.

I picked up a ISO-5 supply for my mini board so I can run the Monarch at 18v and my Octaver at 12v. I think I'm going to end up using the Monarch as more of an amp simulator and the B3K as a distortion along with the Hoof for my fuzz.

Been putting this board together in stages over a few years, finally at a place where I like it well enough to post it. I made the board myself.

Chain is bass >> polytune >> MXR bass compressor >> SansAmp Deluxe >> (SansAmp FX loop: MXR bass octave deluxe >> MXR bass envelope filter >> Pork Loin >> LS-2 on A+B mix/bypass >> (LS-2 loop: bass big muff >> Mastotron) >> BF-3 flanger >> SansAmp FX return) >> nova delay >> IE Nimbus reverb >> amp

Power is run from a PP2+ and ISO5. Cabling could be cleaned up a bit, but here's the dirty underbits.

I'm working on a rehouse of an oversized shin-ei clone that might replace the mastotron, and I keep toying with the idea of replacing the nova with that sexy, sexy Strymon El Capistan, but for right now, I'm happy with things.

I just kinda became a 'pedal guy' after ditching my synths. Realizing I need a pedal board now I said myself: "self, I have so many questions of how to do a pedalboard right"

Then, on this evening I realized what PYPB stood for...
