Show me your compact pedalboard setup

Well, I did it again. 🙃
It always starts with trading stuff in. A 1x12 cabinet, an EHX Silencer and a little cash netted me the Boss wah and the Animals fuzz. The Boss is the best, juiciest filter I’ve ever played and does lots of awesome synth-y stuff. Its built-in oscillation made me want to put delay at the end and the Oil Can is a no-brainer for the price. And everyone I know who has a Special Cranker says it’s a must.
This is another killer. Five boards and counting. I don’t have an MXR Bass Synth yet. 😳

The key to the dual lock is finding the "just right Goldilocks" amount. When I first assembled my pedalboard, I did what most do and placed a large piece on the pedal. Got that confident lock down and was "yeah". Tried moving things around and was like "this is impossible". I just use two thin strips on the back of the pedal. Enough to give confidence that it's secured but easy enough to remove.

Same. Now my problem is letting the glue on the back of the dual lock cure enough so that I don't leave the newly applied thin dual lock strips on the board when I move the pedal.

So, yeah I've done that more than I should admit. Derp.

Oh ****, how embarrassing. I’m not a pig, really. 🐷

And I got my pedal order wrong. 🤡

I should take up drinking so I’d have an excuse for doing dumb things.

Ha! I viewed it as Jedi-timing since those lil buggers are quick. I say you've got a good eye for realism photography! 🌴

But anyways, what're you running your MXR thru? I've plugged mine into my head/cab as well as my PA setup for full range to get those delicious lows it's putting out.

What're your thoughts on it so far?

I’m completely in love with this pedal. It’s my first synth pedal and I’m having so much fun.

I’ve wanted a synth pedal for a while, but I hadn’t found a YouTube demo that inspired me to buy. I rarely even made it all the way through the demos.

The combo of Ian’s well-chosen sounds, well-programmed presets and an inspiring demo really sold me. I was confident I could plug in and make music straight away.

I’m just running it through my Rumble combo right now but I keep hearing how good it sounds with a good subwoofer, so I’ll be watching those discussions. Honestly I don’t even know how to split the signal properly at this point LOL.

Nice! I'm getting lost in the various threads on this pedal but we're having that convo over on another thread about routing your signal to a sub different ways to go about it. If you look for my posts #306 and #308 I tried to break down how to make it happen :)

This link should get ya there:

How do you connect your KRK to your amp and cab or do you connect it that way?
Click to expand...
That's where a whole new signal is born. The sub has to be run from a mixer or interface if you've already got one? Do you currently use monitors connected to your computer? There's a couple options:

1) If you don't wanna pick up anything new, of course you can just run this MXR thru your amp/cab like you do your bass. You will absolutely get a sound BUT it won't be the true representation of what the pedal is made for or what it's putting out. It will be Hi-passed in the same way a keyboard doing bass...

I guess it’s compact. I posted on ultra minimal pb but really, ZIO and tuner would do that lol. Anyway, I have an idea of this board for PA/FOH only( mostly mildly dirty) a second when playing through my “rig” ( 3 layer dirt and a chorus) and then a bigger one that stays home (once it’s complete, I will post about it- it is a memorial to my late future son in law. Too soon, G!)

I only lack either a cool pick holder or something for above the tuner.
