PYPB XL: Midlife Crisis

[Jean Baudin]

did you buy two Mobby's or do you switch them?

i had a nasty fuggle up on my end with getting Shishah Sweet his money for his, so mine's not going out till mid next week. he was a sweetie about being Super Patient Lad though. i'm escited to play with it.

Nope, I'm swapping it back and forth. I don't have the scratch to get two.

However, if I had a crapload of extra money laying around, I would totally get a second. It really is fantastic. I like to fancy myself a modulation connoisseur, and it knocked me on my butt how great it sounds.

I have 2 now... I sold the Flint that paid for 66% of it. I'm having Matt at Disaster Area Amps write some code for my DMC-4 so I can control the two Mobii, and the Timeline with one box.

For the time being, this is it. Could change tomorrow.

I like this. Like mine, there's nothing particularly exotic or boutique, just a good solid working bassist's board.

How do you like the bass driver? I'm looking for a simple, not too expensive drive to join the board.

True, it sounds awesome. I'm basically done with building out my board. I don't think I need anything else for a while. I just sold a bunch of pedals I was not using to fund the 3 new ones in this pic.

NOTE: The new USA made B7K is just a killer pedal, and I'm glad I sold my B3K to upgrade and have the ability to shape the tone.

Thx . It's getting close to what I need/want. The only issue now is the filter. Jury still out on the Auto Q, it sounds great but not quite exactly what I want, although very very close.

That's one pedal I'm kicking myself for not buying earlier. I don't use dirt all that much, so a more expensive pedal didn't make sense. I love its versatility: blend, tone and morph knobs provide for near-infinite settings, no low-end loss and the manual suggests pretty good OBD3 and Rat impressions. I have it on light OD settings (9 o'clock, noon, 9, 9 I think) and that's good enough for me at this point. It plays well with all its board buddies, especially the BSW. 90 $ well spent, as far as I'm concerned and no tears will be shed if it breaks or I lose it.

It's been a while since I posted a board:

I just arranged it over the past hour, so I don't know what will happen.

I feel like such a slacker, because I was only able to play through the board on New Year's Eve, when there was nobody else in the house. It sounds decent. Not really in love with the V-Twin, but I think that has more to do with my wanting a Marshall sound, and not a Mesa. What I really want is a proper Marshall tube preamp/pedal, but it doesn't exist.

Not a great shot, and there are wires all over the place as this is a work in progress while I wait on a couple more things to come in. Second Voice Dlx will go where the Unpleasant Surprise is shifting everything there to the left. The 2 Expressionators and Badger Schism on the right still need to be wired up and I need to make a riser for the Expressionators.

Also on the front row my DMC-3XL is on its way back, and will control the Timeline and Mobius, getting tap tempo from the JHV3 MTPro which also syncs the modded M5.

Top row is so much digital gear porn... I'm loving the sounds of M5 pitch glide -> Quadrature -> Timeline -> WET. So good

^Jeeebus! That's awesome Jeff!

 

[Dark Barn]

Jeff you tried to hide some blue thing with a red knob under your Xero and Octamizer, what is it?

And beautiful board. Schwing.

 

[Jeff Moote]

Blue thing with red knobs = Bugbrand μcrusher. The etched 1590A with the bug on it will be a remote switch for it when I get around to it. That and the Octamizer will be tucked away behind/under the Expressionators as the Octamizer will be always on in one loop of the Schism.

There's also a μThumpinator hiding underneath.

I can't wait to get the last couple things and get it all cabled. I am not looking forward to that job though...

New PT-JR and PP2+ setup - way better than the Gator gear I was using before.

Tuner > Octave > B3K > Pickle Pie > Phat Phuk > Phaser > Chorus > Delay

I'm thinking about switching to an OC-2 for real estate purposes...
