PYPB XL: Midlife Crisis

And that's the Alchemy Synth app, yes?

A subtle but fairly important revision to my bigger board that I haven't yet had the chance to try out ... Swapped the location of my tuner and Multicomp. The tuner is now running off the tuner out on the VP Jr. so it can be "on" all the time, and the EB will now function as master volume AND mute.

The Mini MIGHT be changing soon(ish)... I got some birthday money, so I'm contemplating getting a Zoom B3, which may (temporarily) replace a couple pedals. I'm thinking the TU3 and MXR would take a tv time out while I give the B3 a go.

I also want to get an Octamizer and the new Pigtronix Bass Envelope Phaser when I can... The Octamizer will replace the MXR on the Mini, MXR and Pigtronix would replace the Sub Blaster and EP2 on the bigger board to make more room for other pedalz. ;)

For now though, this is where I'm at.

sorta. the keyboard sends midi to the IO Dock that the iPad is sitting in. the Dock gives me real midi in/outs and good quality 1/4 main outs plus a few preamps inputs for mics. USEFUL.

lets me use the 'pad as a dedicated music tablet. then into the 2525 and Flashback for effects nubblins.

Stringy 5'ers - nopers. tis AniMoog. AWESOME app.

The keyboardist for my funk band uses a similar setup. He's got that dock, a 61-key keyboard controller and Sample Tank for more traditional keyboard sounds. It's a pretty sweet little setup, but he hasn't optimized it... he's constantly futzing with the level knob/patches between songs.

I've thought about picking up that dock, I'll check out Animoog. Thanks for the tip! :)

As you can see in the photo, I recently got a Pedaltrain Mini.
I decided to downsize my board, and sell off some stuff.

I am waiting for the Pedaltrain Volto power supply. Once I get that, the setup should be complete!

The Bluebeard was redundant here, so it's now on the treble board where I think it's doing more good overdriving the Fullbore Metal.
Just nasty.

The empty space is for a B7K, coming in tomorrow! :hyper::hyper::hyper:

I still want Ditto Looper.
Maybe a trip to GC tomorrow...

So many great boards guys n gals!
Keep it up, I luff checking out all the offerings from fellow TBers.
I haven't had too much time for big GAS, my newborn son is taking care of GAS for me and wifey - lulz!

Here's my 2 humble-but-fun offerings;

Ol' trusty PT-3. Just added a Ditto for fun, haven't had much time with it yet. So far it seems promising in that it's easy to use. Yay!
This board is a bit more on the "synthy/experimental" side for use mainly with one act and fun jams with others.

Bass> CMATMODS buffer (underneath)> TAFM> 5ch looper> Loops right to left:
- Rude mod MXR BOD> IE Narwhal-
- M9-
- IE Oxide> Unpleasant Suprise-
- IE Xero-
- Ditto> Freeze-
5 ch looper> MicroThumpinator (underneath)> amp....

Expression Pedal>Expressionator>
Ch1 - M9
Ch2 - M9
Ch3 - Copilot FX Modded Broadcast> IE Xero

This little homemade board ( a few scraps of wood, paint and velcro, fits in a little tech case) is a bit more rock/funk/straightforward setup.

Bass> Tu-3> OC-2> MXR BEF> Modded Fuzzrocious Demon King*> Modded S/S Super Puzzle> Recovery Couple Skate> Amp.....

*I scored a Demon King then decided I had no need for a feedback section, plus the ped was sooo big, so I removed said feedback section and placed the-now-back-to-Oh-See-Demon-circuit into another enclosure I had kicking around. Sweet!

What's the 1590A with 2 switches and LEDs? Channel switcher for your amp?

Yep. It's an eq/mute switch I made for the Mesa M9. The one that ships with the amp is crazy huge.

yah. it was AniMoog. but just grabbed up Alchemy Synth. looks GOOD. thanks for the heads up meng!

Yeah, for sure. You might also check out Novation's Launchkey and Launchpad. Just found out about Launchpad myself, downloading it now. :bassist:

EDIT: Launchpad is pretty fun too.

Thanks for the "HAWT" on the board too. I ordered that Zoom B3 tonight, might take the place of a couple pedals on the Mini (if it'll fit) or I might incorporate it into the bigger board... Pending evaluation of course. ;)
