PYPB XL: Midlife Crisis

cheers folks (and nice board anarchyok!) - I'm typing this from work and a little parcel containing a dispatch master has just been delivered to my desk :) excited!!

Vlad - grass is always greener! I have a second fuzz, a phaser and a tremolo at home and keep toying with the idea of putting everything on a big board... but I quite like the constraint of a PT mini and having to limit myself to 4 or 5 pedals :)

Well, I'd only trade your board for mine for like a day... I love my setup, but yours is pretty cool too.

surely there is nothing more frustrating that getting home with a new pedal, plugging it in, and finding out said pedal doesn't work.. :(

it was so beautifully packaged too!

That sucks! Contact EQD, if you got it used I'm sure they'd take a look at it and fix it up.

Man that is disappointing... I love both of my Dispatch Masters and would be sad if they didn't work, especially right out of the box, lame.

EQD will make it right, they're good people over there.

Board for my current band.

BSW is going to be taken off in place of an eq of some sort. Mostly likely the Source Audio one because it'll fit in that spot and I love the products they make. The BMS might be replaced by a couple Iron Ether pedals I've been craving. And the empty space is where my B7K will be placed whenever that arrives.
 
I'm running light at the moment. The modded DD-3 is a recent addition to the family.

Great board! That's almost exactly the same setup I'm going for(got an Aguilar Tone Hammer instead of the Sansamp). What size and model is your board?
 
Got to play at a nice theater here in town, opening for Indecision. I took these right after soundcheck.

New board- got rid of the QTron+ and Swollen Pickle, moved the OC2 out of the QTron's loop into my first loop, right next to the BOD. Added the MXR Tremolo and the FX-25, which I use as just a LP filter, sensitivity all the way off, for some dark dub tones.

Spent the day figuring out how to record with my iPad and snapped a pic of the board while it was out.

Not too different than the last one I think but the 2nd Voice Deluxe has been a lot of fun to play with and, the best part is I rather like the basic fuzz sound on it without the extra voices and I think I'll use it that way also for some stuff.

That board can kill a man from 100 feet, yikes!

I like it. It tracks well down to A without changing up my play style, tracks a little lower (and overall better) if you roll off the treble and play in the neck position. The resonance knobs are on the subtle side, you can definitely hear them working and they are useful but I was disappointed that they don't get peakier, no whistling. The frequency cutoff knobs are great, you can really get the voices to smooth out or get gnarly with them. The clean channel has a tiny bit of fuzz bleeding into it so you won't be using it as a clean boost, among other things. The straight fuzz channel sounds great, which surprised me. Some times I will be using it without the voices just for the fuzz sound. I haven't tried any of the CV jacks on it yet.

My 'complaints' are really just in the interest of full disclosure, I really like this pedal, I was broke during the initial pre-order so I'm glad I found a used one so soon.
