Post your pedal board - Basschat style!!
pantherairsoft replied to dudewheresmybass's topic in Effects
Correct. The Dusk replaced my Moog LPF. It's there for the synth swells and for pushing the board into dub/sub mode. It gets a lot of use. The JoshWah gets used as a traditional envelope filter, usually along with octave and fuzz for classic synth tones, which are them commonly swept through by the dusk for double resonance. -
Have you tried it with another power supply (or even a battery if it has that option)? Any other power supply? I'm not saying it's the issue... but I stopped using a GigRig power setup after some odd behaviour. Ruling out power is step one... and you need to try alternatives to do that.

Overdue pedalboard update today. I've had a few new arrivals that, after much testing, has bumped other stuff off the board (a few bits now up for sale). In my usual rambling style, I thought I'd do a break down of the signal chain, and other details of how the board is looking right now... Input > Boss OC-5 Octave > Montreal Assembly PURPLL > Fuzzrocious Li'l Fella > Dr. Scientist Frazz Dazzler V2 > ZVEX Mastotron > WMD Geiger Counter Pro > Broughton JoshWah > Dr. Scientist Dusk (+ Moog EP-3 Expression Pedal) > GFI Synesthesia (+ GFI Triple Switch) > Hologram Electronics Microcosm > Source Audio Collider > Keeley Bassist Compressor > TC Electronic Polytune2 Mini > Output I also keep another Moog EP-3 on the floor pending the mood I'm in, usually connected to the Geiger Counter Pro or Microcosm. All pedals mounted on a Pedaltrain Jr Max, using an OCD In/Out Jack Kit, all cabled with EBS gold flat patch cables and powered by a CIOKS DC7 and 8 Expander (this power supply is a beast - barely tipping the 40% capacity mark for this board). While most of this stuff has been here for a while, the return of the Mastotron has been significant. I moved mine on years ago for various other boutique gated fuzz pedals, but coming full circle... nothing beats it for gated synthy fuzz. Utterly in love with pretty much everything here. I'm still in the honeymoon period with the JoshWah, but with minimal tweaking the Sense knob, it plays really well with all my dirt pedals. Overall, very happy! -
Hi all, Having a bit of a clearout to recoup some costs! Ernie Ball VP JR (25k version) - This has had the official EB-approved T1M buffer mod installed. When you use this as an expression pedal, it's no different. When you use it as a volume pedal and tuner out, it takes 9v power and has high quality buffers installed on all input/output to avoid the well reported tone suck that the pedal had. Shows some signs of wear from being gigged, but is in perfect working order. Unboxed. £80 £70 shipped. *SOLD* Life Is Unfair Custom Pineal Gland Dual Expression Joystick Controller - Boxed, brand new, purchased for a project which ended up collapsing and I don't have space on my pedalboard for it. This was customised for me by Grindle at Life is Unfair with two pots and toggles. With the toggles off, the unit functions normally, when a toggle is flicked, the expression position jumps to the control of the knob. This allows you to have a 'default' position for each expression input that you can flick back to when you've finished wiggling the joystick. SUPER useful (as finding an exact expression position with a joystick is pretty hard!) and works a dream. Used a couple of times at home. £90 £85 shipped. *SOLD* *SOLD* Eventide PitchFactor - Boxed (other sleeve is tatty, main box is perfect), manuals, official power supply, excellent condition. £280 £260 shipped. *SOLD* *SOLD* Fuzzrocious M.O.T.H. - Boxed, as new, never gigged. £150 shipped. *SOLD* *SOLD* Moog EP-3 Expression Pedal - Boxed, excellent condition - studio use only. Includes a TRS cable (never used). £40 shipped, but I'll knock £5 off if I can keep the rubber feet (i.e. if you plan on putting it on a pedalboard), because I lost the ones I took off my other EP3 and I wouldn't mind the spares. *SOLD* *SOLD* Nektar NX-P Universal Expression Pedal - Boxed, as new condition. £12 shipped. *SOLD* I'll knock a couple of quid off any purchase that is collected from Derby.

My first question would be - how are you powering it? If it’s daisy chained, it might be worth trying it on an isolated power output for a bit to see if that behaviour continues.
-
Yeah. It has some mutron flavour, for sure. Feels a little deeper though, with some major flexibility in the controls. One of the best low pass based filters I’ve used.
-
Purchased a pedal from Chris. Great comms, easy transaction, and the pedal was perfectly wrapped up for shipping. Many thanks!

NPD: Broughton JoshWah I’ve had an on-off relationship with envelope filters for a few years now. I always have a sweepable LPF on my board, but have been constantly ‘meh’ about most filters I’ve tried recently, despite previously being a big user of them. My main issue is that I’ve really struggled to find ones that play well with the dirt pedals I currently use. My favourite two filters ever, the SubDecay Prometheus and the WMD Super FatMan, also don’t seem to fit right in the mix of my current pedal chain, which has soured my envelope filter love. For a while, I’ve just made do with the filter in my Synesthesia and found that I don’t really ‘need’ an envelope filter. But, I’ve had an urge, and when this popped up I had to grab it, having heard good things. After 3-4 hours with it today, I’m very impressed. The sound is very close to how my brain remembered the SubDecay, but it sits much better in the mix, and importantly, plays great with my current array of dirt pedals. The drive circuit in it is okay, though unlikely to be used anymore than to give the filter a touch of sparkle. This is definitely finding a home on my board for a while!

Bit of an update! Pedals listed in signal chain order for those that care… Input > Boss OC-5 Octave > Montreal Assembly PURPLL > Fuzzrocious Li’l Fella > Fuzzrocious M.O.T.H > Dr. Scientist Frazz Dazzler v2 > WMD Geiger Counter Pro > Dr. Scientist Dusk (w/ Moog EP-3 Expression Pedal) > GFI System Synesthesia (w/ Triple Switch) > Hologram Electronics Microcosm > Source Audio Collider > Keeley Bassist Limiting Amplifier > TC Electronics Polytune Mini > Output Everything is cables with EBS gold flat patch cables, powered with a CIOKS DC7 + 8 Expander, and mounted to a PedalTrain Jr Max. The back row is all raised with PT Pedal Boosters and I added an OCD pedalboard input/output unit for ease of set up. I also use another two Moog EP-3's beside the board for recording purposes. -
FS: Hologram Electronics Dream Sequence - *SOLD*

NOW SOLD HI all, Up for grabs is my Hologram Electronics Dream Sequence - a stunning sequencer, arpeggiator, pitch shifter, ambient awesomeness tool! This is very unique, borrowing bits from an array of studio/synth style effects and merging it into one rhythm processor. Only selling as it crossed over a touch with the combined results of my Hologram Microcosm and the arpeggiator in my GFI Synesthesia. Check out this great video from Zach Rizer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cU6QhoEz8QQ This is in excellent condition, with just one small mark in the finish near the hold button. The pedal is unboxed and has no manual (available on the Hologram website) and as such I'm pricing it accordingly. I'm asking £210 posted in the UK (or collect from Derby). I might be interested in trades/part-ex, as I have a space on my pedalboard, but it would need to be something very weird and wonderful (nothing you can consider more 'normal' than this pedal!) and in an enclosure no wider than 7". Feel free to try me, but don't be surprised if I say no Any questions, please ask.

The Dusk is stunning. As a sweepable LPF I prefer it to the Moog, Xero and Barbanera. I sold my Xerograph after trying the Dusk. But it’s tone - so highly subjective of course. Where Dr Scientist is concerned, I can’t speak highly enough of those I’ve tried. I also have a Frazz Dazzler V2 on my board and it’s probably the best high gain distortion I’ve ever tried.
-
I agreed that the pedal is fantastic. I bought on in here, but it had a dodgy foot switch and the seller kindly took it back. I considered buying a new one, but at the time there was a little controversy about Will’s service and my attempts to communicate with him were troublesome (he just never replied on multiple occasions) so I didn’t go ahead. I’ve since picked up the Dr Scientist Dusk and totally, I actually prefer it to the Barbanera by quite a way, though the LFO functionality isn’t quite as awesome. Its a wicked pedal though, with a killer enclosure!
-
How long were you on the waiting list for this? Great pedal, but the guy’s reputation for customer service is pretty agonising and last I checked it was pay now, get pedal in 8 months.

Something terrible has happened... ... I have a space on my pedalboard! After receiving the GC Pro and doing a big reshuffle, I decided to take my expression pedal off the board (I always use one, which has always been on the board, and have another two which I use and and off, mainly for recording). The revelation of having the space can mean only one thing... it must be filled by one large, or two small pedals. Aghhhhhhh. Given that the only thing I was truly lusting over was a WMD Protostar, and the chances of finding one are VERY low... oh what a terrible position to be in
