Did you put your pedals on the lid of a bin?

That's... pretty special, I must say.

Also, love those pedals!

So I just finished playing around with my AGRO and JHS Lime Aid.

Y'know, I thought I was going to chuck the Lime Aid, but after playing around with it on and off and trying different settings, I think it's staying. I tried playing fast punk/grindcore riffs, doom riffs, powerchords, and just overly aggressive picking. The only thing I find is that I have to turn the volume up when it was engaged (and the volume is already at 3:00 on the pedal...), but overall it did actually improve the sound and removed a lot of excess noise.

The first week I got it I was disappointed and thought it really wasn't doing much so I wouldn't need it. It certainly is a handly, little device. I'd only get rid of it if I needed more room on the board for fuzz .

It's looking like my Pedaltrain Mini is going to go like this (in no specific order just yet):
Turbo Tuner
JHS Lime Aid
ISP Decimator
Phat Phuk
AGRO

I'll still have my Rat Tail and Bluebeard, but the fuzzes will be switched up depending on what I'm playing. I am still going to keep the Lime Aid for sale because I think the use of the compressor and my noise suppressor is kind of redundant. I know they do two different things, but I can live without a compressor. I need my noise suppressor, though.

When I first signed here, someone (don't remember who) was using the lid from a Rubbermade kitchen trash can as a pedalboard.

That is my own made ABY box. (thank you Pedal Parts Plus...)

I got it in my head that having a clean channel and a separate dirty channel is a good solution for selective noise making. I mix em both together with the FEA mixer, or leave em separate depending on my mood. Usually, I switch back and forth.

I intend on trying a 2 channel looper one day instead of, or in addition to my current setup.

Hmm... I might still add a Micro-Thumpinator to my board. It's getting so tempting after hearing different things about it. I guess it depends on what tuning I'm in, though.

yeah, if you're below B, it won't work for ya!

 

[Josh Pelican]

Well, it will work great with some of my basses then. I don't think it will do anything for my bass tuned to Eb0, hahaha.

I mentioned in the [sfx] thread that I like to play a loud, fast, and fuzzed, unless I'm playing doom/stoner metal where it's just loud and fuzzed.

Done for awhile...we'll see what tomorrow brings though. Boom!

Ok, so I finished my second board as well. The big one is my "Volvo" board; sturdy/reliable/drives well, but not very sexy. Also it holds a lot of Scandinavian stuff on there...not that Volvo is all that scandinavian anymore.

The two fx10:s are for adjusting different basses.


And, I know I posted this just a while ago but wanted to get them in the same post...sorry:

This then, would be the US-made sportscar...

I can't come in here. These threads are bad GAS starters...

Been GASing for a POG2 for a long time.

Nope, only nine presets.... only one more. Sinner....

For this weekend, here is the pedal layout I will be trying. I have the MXR last so I can control the final signal out. That is the spot where the future [sfx] Micro Thumpinator will be sitting.

The Flanger is in the TRS Insert of the Growler's channel 2. The Ekko 616 is new to the board. Since I had two of them on the guitar board, I figured I would try it out this weekend. It is kinda convenient having more than one Ekko sitting around. And if I am feeling the need for some bass chorus, I just turn on the modulation.

 

[Josh Pelican]

I kind of want to just load up on fuzz pedals (or at least buy and sell) and be the next grygrx... just not as cool.
