Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

Uhhhhh dude that's a 5 watt, 1 kilo ohm cement power resistor. Those are used as dropping resistors for the high voltages of big tube amps. I honestly don't know *** one is doing in a pedal??

Yeah, but it had the pins nipped off and hot glued over so I assume it was just something spare he had laying around. There's another one holding up the other side of the turretboard.
 
Just got the cthulu in. It had something rattling around in it so I open it and this thing falls out. Looks like it's just a stand off I'm just wanting to verify it before I do anything. Also is it best to just re hot glue this?

I believe that is a standoff as I have never even seen it before. Man I'm really sorry it arrived like that. Certainly didn't leave my place in that condition. That pedal didn't even move around enough to have jostled it loose when it was in my possession. The only thing that had the slightest jiggle was the battery. Hopefully Nick can verify. ****ing USPS. Not that reglueing a standoff is a huge deal, but I've never had issues with an item arriving in a different condition than how it was sent. Really grinds me that is no longer so.

Is this how the LS-2 works?

Basically bass into Bluebeard then a loop with (synth w/expression, filter, delay)
Tuner out, and the grey speck back in line and out to amp? So the modulated stuffs blended into the clean/dirty direct line?

Yes, however, I've learned that some pedals will invert phase which means there's a chance you'll get phase cancellation with the loop being mixed back into the other signals if you run your LS2 with the mix mode (A+B/bypass). If you're just swapping between chains (ie, A/B/bypass), you won't have that problem.

I discovered this (and had someone tell me what it was) when I put a Bassballs into a loop and it basically disappeared. I think I still have the same problem with my Ruiner mixed with dry, as well. There are similar pedals from small makers that come with phase switches, but the price goes up significantly, especially since you can find LS2 pedals for about $45 used with ease.

Here is an outdated and incomplete list of some pedals that invert phase:

Just about finished this large beaver(ram head specs)but I just realized I put the led in backwards.

Anyone have any experience with this guy? Ram head vs triangle vs pickled beaver?

This is what I asked for for my birthday in a few weeks. Try all three and let us know what you like! Post clips!

I've been, ahem, diving deep into Muff lore lately to figure out what I'm gonna do with mine.

I will but I don't have the stuff to do the pickled beaver yet but I think it's pretty cheap for the few extra parts.

I made the wah and divided octave before this and I can't recommend the divided octave enough it's such a cool pedal. The original musitronics version goes for like $600 nowadays.
 
I so want a teeny board, but fack... Pedals!!!

It's just to hard for me to narrow my dirt down to less than 3, and I need tuner and modulation. My PT2 seems too large a lot of the time, but if I add even 2 more boxes it is immediately Tetris on difficult mode with the current patch cable selection.

mod factory was not jiving with the fx 90 quite how i wanted, thinking just the delay into the hulk since it's kinda brutal and just processed enough to have a trip hop/spacey flavor, did sound last night for a streaming show on LAartstream for she khan, their chaos pad was making their kick drum sound like a twelve guage, not a whole hell of a lot i could do with 2 shotgun mics and a pro cardioid, but parts of the show sound pretty darn professional, others a little underground peaky (people will probably think it was on purpose just to keep it real)
 
Quick pix of the Ibanez J. Black binding + black block inlay on maple neck = ¡muy caliente! Neck's a little beefier than the usual J, which I like. Straight as a grizzly's dikk, too.

I took the tug bar off coz it interfered with pick playing. I could see a BAII on this, as well. Go Geddy or go home ;)

Anybody know anything about SD "Basslines" pickups?
