MSLP passive volume pedal (NOT HERE SOON!)
TC Electronic Polytune Mini

Controllers:
Boss FV-500H (expression for H.O.G.)
re-housed H.O.G. foot controller by DannDubblewe



got rid of the BSY-600 (just not stable enough for me and it was very impressive)

Have a Madbean Lowrider (Pearl OC-7 Octave Clone), MSLP passive volume pedal and a custom MSLP delay/reverb/lo-fi looper coming!.......:bassist:

gonna love having 2 analog octavers with -1,-2 and the Lowrider with +1 (nice and dirty like synthy bass should be!)

and with the H.O.G. and WMD Super Fatman the clean/dirty/synth/filter possibilities are ENDLESS!

Me too!

Here's my board (again). I aquired another Dispatch Master so now the bassboard and trebleboard have one.

I think I'll rehouse the Dispatch Master on the bass board though... I like the snowball white, but it kinda doesn't fit the industrial dark anger theme I'm going for here.

Bass :bassist:

That board is so awesome I almost threw up! Do you happen to have any YouTube videos of that baby in action?

Wow, Jean's board is probably the most perfect thing I've ever seen.
I did some youtubeing too... very impressive. Here's my favourite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHESdZjjJw0

However, I'd love to see that beautiful board in action, cam on the feet and stuff :smug:


I have some change on my board too. Until now, I was using FX1 position for overdrive/distortion. From now on, the Mudhoney will do this trick and I've got two slots for fancy effects.
The two amp setup lets me do funny stuff... a clean signal followed by a particle verb and a tremolo... rhythmic heaven...

The poor Digitec is acting as a raiser... :p

So, um, you realize I have no idea how much current your wall warts actually pull, that was just an example calculation. You have to look at the wall warts and it will say on them how much current they draw, then do the real calculation yourself. Just for full disclosure, you prolly got that but I just want to make sure you don't accidentally burn anything up.

Yep ... Radial Loopbone is 15V, 400mA (6 Watts) and EHX Polyphase is 24V, 100mA (2.4 Watts). Voodoo Labs courtesy outlet has a max of 200W. Thanks Again!

A shot of the old board before last Friday's gig.

The new Proton is pure sex. That is one nasty filter! I know the Timeline is all the rage, but the Timefactor is a lot of fun. Some wild sounds once you get with the expression pedal. I still want to mod a VP Jr. as a dual expression pedal, so that's on the list, but otherwise, very happy.

Oh, btw, the ultramafic is the shizz

I snagged it off of 5SG, wouldn't have been able to make the board work without it!

It's definitely a pretty smart idea, originally designed to go in the back space of a Pedaltrain Mini. Your use of it is exactly what I envisioned someone doing with it, rather than it just sitting on my shelf and giving me puppy dog eyes. I've just never had need of a loop... :bassist:

Sure does look slick on your board, sir!

5sg.

I still cannot get over how unbelievably AWESOME this board is! :eek: I'm trying to finish up my pedalboard before I post it, but yours is AMAZING! And the fact that you built it yourself just impresses me even more. If I were using all MXR stuff, I'd pay you to build me one, but I'll have a couple of non-MXR pedals, so...

I did follow your build, but I may ask you for some more details on your build if you don't mind?

Well played, sir!
