I've got 2, one which I use in the band and one which has the Mod Dwarf on I can use more for guitar and experimentation. The way it's set up is pretty handy as I have really easy access to pop the Dwarf in the post fx loop if I want to play with some delays and really nice convolution reverbs or I can just go out of my main board and into the Dwarf if I want to use some of the analog pedals in front. All stuff I'd never have a need for in the band I don't think. I only have one expression/volume pedal which I need to swap between them but pretty manageable!

It's a wonderful thing, Model FeT, Longsword and the Halberd are absolutely incredible. The Halberd is the biggest surprise for me though, it's capable of so much variety. Thinking I'll wire up the Longsword (with a clean blend) into the Halberd this time around. Highly recommend the EAE stuff if you can get your hands on it.

Not wired up yet as I still need to get the shelf screwed in properly but no more 90 degree pedals 🙌 sorry for the state of the desk

Hooked me up with a fantastic Lusithand Alma, swift and exactly as described 🙌 top chap!

Did a proper double take when I saw how big the pedalboard was, thought it was a 2.0 or something 😂 Those pedals are monsters.

A decent preamp like the Ampeg would sound excellent 👌

Not sure, I really want to install push buttons for the pickups in my J4 instead of the individual volume pots but means widening the holes to 12mm don't want to wreck it if I can't get a replacement. Tempted to make a chunky wenge one which I can install the switches on so I have the original. Wenge on sea foam green has to be a winner 😂

Right, changed my mind. Haven't touched this in a long time and can't see that changing in the future. I've decided that I'm going to go with lopping the wings an cap off, narrowing the neck by 1.5mm on either side to make a 42mm nut and 19mm spacing at the bridge. For the new wings/cap I'm going to use black limba or similar, possibly a pale moon ebony top. Pickups will be 2 Turner multicoil humbuckers in a Wal like configuration with a Lusithand pre. This is the shape I'm thinking, decided against a scratch plate. Lots of work but I think it'll be well worth it, thankfully still have lots of offcuts from the neck laminates in a box somewhere which will help with patching!

Gonna have to read this thread (and YouTube content) from the beginning. Was thinking about either modding a Schecter P4 Exotic with some of the Turner multi coil pickups in a Wal-like config or building a new bass with them. Not going for a Wal replica by any stretch but it'd be cool to get in a similar ballpark.

Yet more flip-flopping. Decided while the MOD Dwarf is a lot of fun, it's surplus to requirements for band stuff. It introduces latency and just presents a potential point of failure. So now I have a business board and a fun board. All the stuff for the band on a ready to go board the the Dwarf on a separate board for experimenting and guitars. I've added a little FX send from my pedalboard patch bay now so I can easily connect the Dwarf (currently in the Capo post FX loop) for delays and the fancy reverbs etc.

Hmm maybe I'll grab one when funds are available and give it a go. I think tonally it sits nicely where my Longsword currently sits except a little more exaggerated in both fizz and bottom end thanks to the clean blend. Still enjoying it?

That Alma comp looks excellent, really love what I've heard. Tbf I loved the sound of the ground n pound too but I alread have two very good drives and can't justify more... or can I?

Maybe a midi controlled loop switcher? Think Disaster Area do a small loop switcher and a dual midi footswitch you could configure to toggle and bypass. Not sure what the max length of a midi cable is but I'm sure it would suffer less from distances than audio.

Technically however I'm running a current doubler for the Mod Dwarf as it's 12v and fairly ambiguous as to it's power requirements. I have had it running off a single 500ma output but made me feel a little uneasy! I also figured as I had the C4 kicking about I may as well use it, got one more pedal to add hopefully soon!

Few tweaks, got the midi baby 3 added, popped my Cioks4 under to power the Dwarf. Was in a rush so needs some tidying! Need some more cables but once I get it fixed I'm thinking of making a raiser and putting the EAE Model FeT, Longsword and Halberd on the top row with the correct orientation had considered fitting on a mini expression pedal but will probably have it wired up to the Rockboard mod patchbay so I can quickly add it on if needed.

Shocked it's still there! Love the WB100, can't imagine selling mine. I think it's the only head other than the VBA400 that I've plugged in and instantly fallen in love with.

Right, I've ordered a Disaster Area Midi Baby 3, its the right size, shape and features I need. Has Exp options too. Think it should fit in nicely with the dwarf 🙌

Ace, will need to have a think as currently I'm relying on having a row of pedals behind the dwarf, this would force me to rethink some of that layout quite a bit!
