Isolator cable added -
Would it not be easier to just get a machine shop to get some metal plate cut it to size bend and drill so it fits to where you'd expect it to? I suppose if you had to pay a proper shop it may not make sense money wise above putting it into a 125B or something.
-
I'd recommend just picking up the Boss tuner/TC Polytune/Korg Pitchblack over the BossOMeter purely due to it being massive for no apparent reason.
-
Looks fantastic, reckon you'll be able to keep yourself from filling those gaps?! Have you heard anything from Gigrig on the Isolators being shipped?
-
Hyperdrive Sold, I would take £65 shipped on the Fuzz.
-
Just realised no ones mentioned these on here http://www.thegigrig.com/acatalog/PS_Isolator.html Essentially it's a 4 channel Distributor but with isolated outputs, ideal for many of us who have pedals that need to be isolated to avoid noise and want to simplify our board rather than using mutliple virtual batteries or isolator cables. Personally mine will be used to power my 3 Moog's and the Source Audio BEF.
-
Still available.

The Freeze isn't especially power hungry but it is known for being awkward to daisy chain and likes to be isolated. So either a power supply with isolated outputs or the gigrig virtual battery would cover that.
-
Go high impedance if you're using a passive bass with no buffers between it and the amp otherwise go with a low impedance unit.
-
Personally how it's described would be irrelevant to me in this instance. If I bought an item on here described in any way other than faulty and it arrived faulty I would expect to be able to return it for a full refund.
-
The Ernie Ball units are probably the most popular, personally I've got one little Morley ones though do find it to be a bit difficult to control specific volumes due to the very sharp sweep at the toe end. More useful for swells than controlling the voltage really. I would put them last as a means to mute though before any delays or reverbs if you're using them.

Sold my Toadworks Mr Squishy to Matt, very quick payment and good communication all round. Highly recommended.

[quote name='phil.i.stein' timestamp='1342029655' post='1728459'] theoretically then, one could be plugged into an Expressionator to control up to three pedals via HH ?! insane. [/quote] Theoretically with an expressionator you could control three pedals via hot hand that have expression control and then as many source audio pedals with the mini hot hand input at the same time so about eight different pedals?!
-
I thought that but tried removing all power hungry pedals so that the draw couldn't have been 20% off the power supply max and it made absolutely no difference so can't see it being a current draw issue. Think it just needs to be isolated.
-
Been playing around today and I noticed that when I plug the hot hand into the BEF Pro I get a minor but noticable hum whether or not the pedal is on and also through the entire circuit not just that loop. Tried an isolator and that sorts it once it's isolated from the rest of the pedals but it seems odd that it only happens when the hot hand is used. Anyone else found this issue?
-
One's a Toadworks Barracuda Flanger
-
Last time I checked there wasn't a massve variance but Hot Rox was about the best.
-
Can't say I know much about these but there's the Fishman Fission and Iron Ether Polytope then if you're happy distorting seperately there's pedals like the Micro Pog and Eventide Pitchfactor (this may distort too).
-
You could definitely squeeze an octaver on there as well as the rest!

Just reorganised my board and I don't have space for these so they're up for sale. Photos to follow; All prices include UK shipping. Diago Isolator Cable Ideal for isolating a single noisy pedal on a daisy chain for silent operation. Previously used to power one of my Moogerfooger's (I'm now using a Gigrig Isolator as I have 4 seperate pedals that all need isolation) In perfect condition, looks exactly like this [url="http://neathmusic.co/shop/article_146/Diago-PS09,-Isolator-Adaptor.html?pse=coa"]http://neathmusic.co...or.html?pse=coa[/url] [s]£15 £12 shipped[/s] SOLD Subdecay Flying Tomato Fuzz Really interesting great sounding fuzz pedal with a couple of really useful little features, a buffer allowing the pedal to be placed anywhere in your signal chain, Low and high controls so it's capable of huge amounts of bass. Also has a voltage bias control to starve the circuit to give a gated fuzz. This is the smaller MkII version. In really good condition with box etc. has velcro on the bottom as well as the original sticker instructions on there. [s]£80[/s] [s]£75[/s] [s]£70[/s] [s]£65[/s] £60 SPF Ashdown James LoMenzo Bass Hyper Drive. Fantastic bass specific distortion pedal allowing you to apply the distortion to a specifically chosen frequency, mainly used to apply to the mids so you can keep your bass tone intact. Good overall condition, works perfectly has a few scratches on the side and bottom though and velcro on the bottom. [s]£55[/s] [s]£50[/s] SOLD Toadworks Mr Squishy Based upon the classic Orange Squeezer circuit just updated to give greater tonal control and does look fantastic on any pedal board. Pretty well perfect condition just some minor paint loss on the bottom plate from where the big feet were (now removed with velcro on instead) [s]£55[/s] [s]£50[/s] [s]£45[/s] SOLD Only really after money but I would consider trades for a Mastotron, a looper (Boss RC-30 or equivalent) or I guess an SFX Loop Logic or if anyone happens to have one a Moog MP-201 or Eventide Pitchfactor!
-
[quote name='pantherairsoft' timestamp='1341240668' post='1715575'] That board is full of serious WIN!!!! [/quote] Thanks yours has definitely inspired mine! Still feeling like I could do with something to give me pitch shift as well as needing an MP-201 oh and a thicker fuzz and a looper would be nice. I would say I'd have my ideal board then but I don't think that will ever be possible. Chatting to Max about a custom Loop Logic with a lpf or custom EQ to mean I can get rid of my EQ pedal too.
-
Been playing around with my set up today, think this is about the most logical layout I can get to. Sadly no space for the volume, starting to think I may have a two board set up to cover everything rather than going with a huge board.

Yeah my Moog's are now running on a daisy chain with a Diago Isolator and polarity reverser fine, Shep does the same but with a Virtual Battery instead of the Isolator cable but I'm sure he'll be along to clarify more soon.
-
From what I've seen they're rated at max 100mAh but tend to run on 40-50 in reality so unlikely to be an issue. They definitely need to be isolated from other pedals and you'll a reverse polarity lead.
