One last pedal ?

[eloann]

Hey guys,

So I'm nearing completion of a pedalboard that took much planning, drawing and tinkering and I'm very happy with the way it's coming together.

However I have room left for :
- one more small top jacks pedal
- one more smallish (up to Empress sized) pedal that [u][b]has to be controllable via MIDI[/b][/u] for presets/bypass since I have only 1 loop left in my midi controlled looper and it will very likely be for the other pedal (I'll control all my effects remotely from a very small "satelite" pedalboard)

I had originally settled on getting the Earthquaker Grand Orbiter V2 phaser when it would come out
BUT in the meantime Chase Bliss Audio announced their Wombtones pedal that is MIDI controllable through an Empress Midibox (I could stick them on top of each other - would be 1 power plug short but I must be able to work something out!)



Therefore, unless someone has a crazy great idea for the MIDI controlled pedal (besides the Eventide H9) I'm probably looking for a top jacks one.

Looking forward to hearing fellow pedal junkie's suggestions, and thanx in advance for the brainstorming.

[u]So far I've considered[/u] :
- 3leaf Audio upcoming mystery "rusty box" (???)
- 3leaf Audio Proton (envelope filter - had one but let it go 'cause I don't do the funk thingy)
- Dr Scientist Mini Reverberator (as rotary sim. to cope an organ tone paired with the HOG2... but we have a key player)
- Dr Scientist Tremolessence (tremolo - anyone tried that before an envelope filter?)
- Heavy Electronics El Oso (another distortion?)
- Smallsound/Bigsound Mini (another fuzz?)
- Earthquaker Arpanoid (arpegiator looks fun... but real-world usability?)
- Greenhouse Retro Sky (delay, but if I got one I'd likely want tap tempo & presets)


[u]Here's what I have on my boards[/u]:
[b]Satellite[/b]
- Remote control for the main board
- Tuner
- Boss PS-6 (for whammy octave up effect)
[i]- Digitech The Drop? Or [sfx] Micro Thumpinator? Or... still working that out.[/i]
- Expression pedal on the floor
[b]Main board[/b]
- Iron Ether Subterranea (synthy octaver) in loop 1
- Empress Compressor (always on) in insert loop / putting it before the SubT would be best but unpractical
- Electro Harmonix HOG2 (MIDI controlled) in insert loop
- Iron Ether Oxide (high gain gated fuzz) in loop 2
- Darkglass B3K (ballsy distortion) in loop 3
- 3leaf Audio You're Doom (mellow synthy fuzz) in loop 4
- Iron Ether Polytope (detune chorus) in loop 5
- NOTHING YET in loop 6
- Iron Ether Xerograph Deluxe (resonant envelope filter) in loop 7
- Dr Scientist BitQuest (set to ring mod but might sometimes switch it to flanger/bit crusher/delay) in loop 8
- ?Chase Bliss Audio Wombtones? (MIDI controlled)
- Strymon Big Sky (MIDI controlled)
- Darkglass Vintage Deluxe (barely colored preamp/DI)
- Oh, and a Mission Expressionator but that's not in the signal chain

I'd go Grand Orbiter
