Show me your compact pedalboard setup

[redstrand]

What mod did you do on the stereo chorus?

Leslie mod, local guy does it, it sounds great

 

[Naigewron]

What bass is that? It doesn't have the usual jazz bass or P bass pickups or controls.

It's an Ibanez TMB-100. Active electronics; it's got bass cut/boost, treble cut/boost, pickup blend and master volume. The electronics work well, but I'm really not a fan of the concentric pots.

I added the Effectrode and eliminated the JDI...

VERY nice.

Always a "wallet risk" to have space for one more pedal on your board! Proton arrived yesterday to take the remaining slot on my mini board. First impressions: very positive - it’s really easy to dial in a tasty filter sweep.

Signal chain is Smoothhound wireless-->Boss LS -->Zoom B1X-4-->3Leaf Proton--> Digitech Mosaic.

The Zoom is in the LS2's loop to allow me to blend in as much clean to combine with the Zoom's effects. That's a must for a lot of the Zoom drive patches, particularly my fav Rat Tail, but it's a "nice to have" to keep some authentic low end with other fx.

Super nice. Is it true that you can plug in three instruments into the LS2?
Also, what is that black pedal on the upper right? above the LS2

 

[Guiseppe]

Board re-haul means dirt decisions. Put together this little guy to test things out.

I just ordered a ES-5 to do just that kind of testing. Expensive tool, but totally worth it.

Thanks!

I use the LS2 as a parallel looper. Input from bass routed through two parallel loops to blend with one or more pedals in either of the pedal's Loop A or Loop B. You can then select either Loop A or Loop B or have both A & B in parallel. If Loop B is left empty you can parallel blend Loop A with your clean bass, which is how I have mine set up on my mini-board.

I've not seen the LS-2 used as a multi-instrument mixer, although maybe someone can jump in if they use it that way? It does have separate volume controls for the A and B channels.

The pedal in the top right is a Smoothhound Wireless - it's a really compact and well performing wireless with a very decent range. I liked mine so much, I got a second one for my larger Metro 24 board! Chris, who is based in Cambridge UK, who designed and builds these is a true gent and has been super helpful any time I've had an issue or query.

My opinion, the Becos CompIQ is what you need. I replaced my Empress with it. I wanted a Nano that did everything my main board did, and with some extreme tetrising and planning, I got to this:

Wow! I like it a lot.

 

[Rocksolid]

Wow! I like it a lot.

Thanks mate, appreciate it. Had it plugged in today to try and alleviate some gas after looking in the Preamp/DI thread. The Fairfield modele B into the M81 really does give great tube like tone/break up.

I really dig this!!

The Mission pedal... is it just basic volume pedal, or no??

 

[cosmicevan]

Metro is about as compact as I get. This is a tabletop setup. Switch between the double gate drone and the 8-bit synth for input...plus the kick drum is crazy fun to play especially when tweaking the pitch

So, the Rolls just acts as a headphone amp?

Correct. I use wired IEM's. I have a special cable with the headphone extension combined with the bass cable so I just have one dragging around.

 

[dwagner]

Microtubes is in the effects loop.

 

[Feral Feline]

Waaooohhwww. Loooks sooooo much better in milky white. I had no idea it came in 2%. GAS re-ignited!

 

[geobassix]

One and half year later...still about that funk.

 

[Kijuer]

Sorry for the bad pic. Minor update. Added the Eden Glowplug to warm things up just a little bit. It does, but I'll recognize it's not indispensable. Probably my next purchase will be Strymon Mobius + Multiswitch and my board's going to get a LOT more compact haha. I may either take the Eden off or switch to a larger Tone Trunk 70 (which I already have).

 

[Grahams Groove]

Just got the Nano+ today to replace my Metro20. My bigger board is a Novo 18. So I figured the small board should be a bit more compact than the Metro. I need to tinker a bit before I tidy up the cables, but I’m pumped with how clean the setup is. CS6 underneath for power...

That picture demonstrates why top jacks should be the standard!
