Yup, Twitter is great for a few of that circle of pedal geeks, Juan, Jonathon Hischke, Aen from DwarfCraft, Ryan from Fuzzrocious etc etc Si

GT-10B is VERY different from the ME-50B, the former is digital based, the latter (whilst digital) is analogue based. I have the ME-50B and find it very easy to use, I hate scrolling menues and buttons on pedals lol The Line-6 range get great reviews though, M5, M9, M13 etc Si

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1339676261' post='1692464'] I had honestly not thought of that [/quote] Yeah I think we get caught up with trying to turn pedals into things they're not, we all do it. This is why most pedal-fiends go through so many of the same type of pedal, just trying to find one that sits better sonically within their sound without EQ'ing it to hell I've got an EQ in both my channels (Clean & Dirt), the clean EQ is simply to boost the 50hz, the dirt is to boost mids, but again, I'm looking to perhaps remove the EQ and simply use my comp on a slightly more extreme setting. I think a large amount of this, for me, comes from being the kind of player who plays passive basses into flat-EQ'd amps, all of which I've chosen because their basic flat sound is great. I've always thought of EQ as simple room adjustment as opposed to full-on 'tone sculturing'. Si

I have a Limiter on the out of my board, which I'm considering taking off to be honest. The noise-floor to benifit ratio isn't good enough for me. I still don't see the benifit of having a delay only channel to be honest. Delay after the loops and before the amp, then just turn on and off depending on requirement. I also feel there's a LOT of EQ'ing going on, your sound on each channel will be pointlessly EQ'd as it's then further being affected by the master EQ and then the amp EQ. Much better to find pedals in each loop that you like the sound of straight off the bat Si p.s. I just voted Insane

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1339667104' post='1692155'] EQ just before the amp for my overall EQ tone shaping that will always be present [/quote] You have EQ on your amp?? [quote name='charic' timestamp='1339667202' post='1692161'] Oh I agree there's more economical ways but with economy I lose versatility and [b]I don't know what sounds I'll use yet[/b] [/quote] Isn't this at odds with your initial statement of "building to a target"? I'm playing devils advocate here mainly Si

Don't get us wrong, most will agree there's no right or wrong way of doing this.......but I think there are more economical ways lol. So for example, I have two channels, clean and 'dirt'. I have one or the other on, but can mix them too, never use a 'bypassed' sound. Compressor in the dirt channel to increase harmonics to the drive pedals, delays after both channels to effect everything. Chorus/Flanger in clean channel etc etc Si

Ummm, why is it so big?....but without loads of knobs?! THERE'S NO CORRELATION!!! Si

Ah Shep beat me I agree about the Comp pedals, although i'd try it at the start, before the split, certainly try it at the end, but I love the way my CS-2 affects the drive effects when it comes before them. An EQ on each channel? Is a Delay channel so in need of a seperate EQ?....with another EQ before the amp? Si

So you'll have 4 switchable channels? I think there is much easier ways to execute this, I think you're double & triple'ing up on pedals where you don't need to?! What are you trying/hoping to acheive? Si

Which MXR EQ pedal? Si

My response, regardless of my opinion of the gig (why would I enforce my opinion over someone elses if they're nice enough to say something?) is, with a smile: "Thank-you, you're very kind" Easy Si

I used a ME-50B for years, awesome pedal, and decent prices second hand (discontinued now). The ME-70B is the new model, although I haven't tried that. Si

I think you have to be a tiny bit careful with effects in a 'traditional' setting. You listen to any old blues rock with a single guitar & bass, when the guitar solos, the bass doesn't really change much, check out John Mayer's trio album for a modern example of Pino rocking this minimalist approach. Embrace the sonic space . If you're adament you want a little bit 'more', I suggest a smidge of overdrive, something like a VT-Bass or even better a Wren & Cuff Phat Phuk... just to open up your sound a bit, get a bit of edge & grind on it. Si p.s. Our very own Al Heeley makes a great BassBoost Preamp pedal, everything from slight grind to full overdrive. I LOVE mine!

My opinion on dub is that it's about the EQ of the note as opposed to the octave, it's not all low octaves, far from it. Just all super round and boosted low end. I think you'll get great results with an OC-2, Oct 1 all up, Oct 2 all down, Direct signal all down. Playing around the 7th fret position (gets a low B & low E), maybe place EQ after it, boosting around 50-60hz, or lower....30hz Si

An Octave pedal does just that, plays an Octave (or 2) below, I'm not meaning to sound patronising at all here btw. If you expect to play a low E and get a clean octave lower, you're kidding yourself. If you only mean you want to play a 'mid' E (7th fret A string etc), then you're fine, produces a real nice low E octave Hope this helps in some way, the OC-2's really are great pedals, very musical effect, unlike others that may not glitch like they do, but don't quite sit in the mix as nice for me Si

[quote name='Fionn' timestamp='1339433956' post='1688413'] So, I take it the OC-3 tracks a low E ok then? ... I won't be going any lower than that. [/quote] Your 150 Watt 1x12 can produce an E below low E? Wow Si

I think we should all get together and throw our pedals at each other naked......no?......alright fine. Si

Much the same, I love my OC-2's but they do glitch....which I love. That said I often get notes tracking lower than A, around F# etc, but thats only for quick notes, don't expect the pedal to hold the tracking that low. I've also found that it tracks a little better when the signal going in is rounder/bassier, so I often play notes higher up the neck on the E or A strings, instead of lower down the neck on the D & G strings. Si

I think though, without taking anything away from Shep at all, that someone like Juan simply has a wider exposure due to his position in Mars Volta & Racer X. Those record sales are going to speak for themselves when a manufacturer is looking at artists to help their exposure. Having said that, Juan has a huge collection of pedals, I believe the point of the site is so he can slowly go through those, as opposed to having manufacturers send him free/new stuff. Si

Am I.....are we...that transparent? Lol Si
