took a while to bug fix this... but a Mutron iii (Aion's Lumitron) with a couple of mods... a decay knob and the "Moog filter" mod that does something and makes it sound different

I recently put together a few new boards. I know that themed or manufacturer-specific boards can split opinion but, as mentioned on a prior post, messing around with pedals is my main outlet and I've been itching to put these boards together for a while.

 

EAE board - some of you have seen a few other manufacturer-specific boards I've put together but, with the exception of the Broughton board which covers all bases, this one is the most versatile (if only EAE made a flanger and a compressor...).

 

0xEAE Fuzz > Longsword > Halberd > Bard > Mother > Model FeT > Prismatic Wall > Sending > Hypersleep

 

 

Heavy board - I've wanted to put this together for ages. It's not as versatile as some of the other boards I've put together but it's remarkably heavy and can be used in conjunction with a specific (smaller) modulation board.

 

Dirtfixer (Wizard in the loop) > MBD2 > Bluebeard > > Chungus > MBD(3) > Iron Pig > Parabellum v2 > Life v3 > Oprichniki > Bass Mountain > Hellraiser > DA-120

 

 

Colourful board - this is a labour of love for me and contains some of my most cherished pedals (including the first present my partner ever bought me), some customs and a few one-offs from some of my favourite builders.

 

PDR > POIROC2 > MAE Forever > SubT > DubT > FMeron > Zero Fret > Divaricator > Polytope > Ampigole > Malombra > Arcing Prisms > Chromatron > Delay Llama > Barbenloris > Melt > Mocking Blur > Count-to-5 > Nimbus SE

 

Love the chromatron design!

Bit of an issue with iteration #17365019

 

Recently got the Jam Dyna-ssor, and I LOVE what it does to my clean tone, but hate what it does going into my fuzz, octabvre and ultrawave.

 

Kicked the ultrawave off the board and moved the dyna-ssor to the end of my chain (which made the Broken sound HUGE) but it still makes my octabvre sound muddy. At the moment I'm stomping one off as I stomp the other on, but hate doing that. Any suggestions???

 

Could you not compress after octave ultra wave and fuzz?

Not sure I understand, I thought you were making one?

 

Anyway here's one I posted in the 'announcement' which says about placing it somewhere it can't be cropped out, etc.

 

Either way, I think a venn diagram of photoshop experts and online bass scammers will have very little overlap, and anything we can do to make it less convenient, the better. 

 

 

I imagine the frog guy on the headstock does the same thing too

I cannot get any filter on the C4 to sound good for me, that's why I ended up buying a spacial Delivery which is fantastic, EBS IQ still my fave though (2nd gen, not the first or the latest)

This one?

What is 1590bb?

 

It works, haven't compared it to a real one but I've heard the original described along the lines of "adding a bit if ampeg type grit". Does that, works as a preamp when used with a slave, or an effect when used in front of a bass amp.

Enclosure size - 120x94mm

Just found this thread.

 

I posted elsewhere that I've cloned the sansamp bass driver and have a couple of spare boards, anyone want one? £0

That looks cool - which version? And 1590bb?

Sparkly!

I was going to say exactly the same. Not quite as comfy as comply foam but rock solid and really secure seal. I use these with my 215s (which I use for my MP3 player, not as IEMs).

Yeah - not comparable to normal silicon ones @dmc79 - have a go

Is there a particular triple silicone tip you can recommend, that fits with both Shure & KZ ZS10 Pro? 

No - I think it was generic eBay Christmas tree tips or something! You obviously have to get the size that fits your headphones, I have Ultimate Ears IEM

something like this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/395282265483?_nkw=flange+earbud+tips&itmmeta=01J5NK9H44AERHJF9VJE4YYJ92&hash=item5c08a8b58b:g:CVYAAOSw5hFl-oi4&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA0HoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKmN84aHliWa1wZ89WeaY58zEEtgF7%2F4%2FpZr1K2RMYgXGffZtZ0vwVdzvxmwSTGeJqXLZ4pIUTJW1NZZIYup%2BBQ0X4dgOY9VwCWvj%2FbsZ4TP8V5eLE1iQQ%2BPcuhtsrWH%2F0eR6MXSP7uDmccwOVxwcAnku%2BlXrVbqcy1SldyxUACsJFLUXak8TTP0qEPtIvIv%2FFh4RUMuEbuvNQ2SoQzWS76IW8335QrxTuUb1C3QPbgf9os0MRIBSiWx8UoYPza3510%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR5aSprOtZA 

you will also notice the price difference to comply. With regular cleaning 've used the same set for 3-4 years now. I would use up a set of comply tips in 2 Sundays 

highly recommend trying silicon Christmas tree type buds, I had been fighting foam ones for ages, good seal but realistically not built for what I was using it for with taking it in and out a fair bit - the Christmas trees give a good and consistent seal.

I have a 00Funk clone as well and like it a lot. It gets a little juicier than the Meatball and can get wackier. It is also capable of a slower sweep that sounds really good. The PastFX 101, 00Funk and Meatball are the three filters I’m keeping in my arsenal; they seem to cover a lot of ground. 

Sounds lovely. The mutron build was mainly as I’ve got a C4 and that can do everything fine… but then an analogue octaver blew it out the water, would a analoge filter? 
 

I was so tempted by the pf101 but at 4x the price I figured I could test it on a diy build

If you use static mode and can dial down far enough then a high pass filter can be used to take out the mud. They have dedicated pedals for that so I’m not suggesting to use a Mutron 3 for that BUT it may be able to serve a secondary use in that function. Adding resonance at the cutoff point gets you into part of cab sim territory. I figured this out with the Meatball clone I have. I could use that thing on ANY board even if an envelope filter sound wasn’t required. 

Is that next on my build list?!  or a 00funk

These are so cool - I’m in no position to buy, but it’s definitely a beauty 

Agree!

Ok… its growing on me

And a fake plastic trees !

Totally agree on the analogue octave thing, it’s like a springiness.

 

If you think the C4 filters are good, check out Artifakt.

 

Would love to hear a clip of your filter. 

I’m guessing the artifice you get to control the distortion with the envelope too to make it feel closer?

Just OK?

It's a Aion Lumitron clone that I've modded with the "Moog" style filter switch you see around (which does something to the tone) and a decay control.
I've got a bug I need to find where there's a noise getting into the the audio signal in up mode... 

Playing it a bit over lunch it does some nice stuff, I actually got some quite cool things in HP using a long delay to be like a slow attack thing... LP is cool... feeding octave and fuzzy od into it brings smiles to your face as expected... there's a certain warmth to the sound and it sounds like part of the basses sounds...

When I started trying analogue octave pedals there was a massive difference (for me) between what I could get on the SA C4 (and HX, and Zoom) and analogue pedals - the analogue was just warmer and more usable musically... again that's just me, but there was something in the attack of the note on the C4 that kept bugging me. 
The difference between the filters on the C4, this mutron clone and the few others I've tried is no where near as large 

I made my mutron clone. It's ok 🤣

I have an OC10 as well, and think it's pretty much exactly the same as my OC2. Cool little thing.

I A-B’ed with @jimbobothy’s OC2 and the OC10 tracked better and had a warmer thing going on in the mids 

weighs a ton mind

i mean the c4 can theoretically do all of this stuff right 

so as explanation - I've a C4 and it's great... but it's chalk and cheese to the analogue octave I accidentally bought on eBay (a valeton OC10) - this build is to see how close the C4 is for envelope filters.... so far it's been pretty good but a pain to set up...

I didn't really want a bigger box, but I made  meatball anyway - totally worth it; best envelope filter EVER.

Don’t … I’m trying not to have too many pedals built but eying up the meatball, agent00funk (+brown dog), prunes and custard as diy builds …

You want to put it in a massive box

Ild make a meatball if I wanted a bigger box!
