SimonEdward Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 [quote name='EskimoBassist' timestamp='1344447328' post='1764730'] Slightly more boring but functional iteration of my pedalboard: [/quote] Eskimo!! Not boring at all... looks like a fun board to use! I'm a bit old-fashioned.. still got an OC-2.. A couple of questions.. is that a Pedaltrain Jr? also, what's the power supply?? and can you let us know which inter-connects you're using??? Cheers.

simwells Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Also look out for the Johnnyshredfreak PSUs second hand, No longer available as I presume Diago stopped him but they were clearly out of the same factory and about a third of the price.

Cheers. [/quote] Yesiree that's a PT-Jnr, it's a really nice sized board. I can fit pretty much enough for anything on their and it's still light enough to carry about on public transport with the bag. I'm using Venom patch cables - they're absolutely brilliant. Never had one fail. I seem to find them cheap on ebay every now and then, couldn't recommend them any more. As for the power supply I use a Diago Powerstation, it's brilliant and really is worth the extra money over one of the cheaper OneSpot adapters.

AndyW Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 (edited) Yes, the downsizing of my board worked as planned! Managed to save quite a bit of weight by going from this: to a Pedaltrain Mini (with the Volume pedal being an option for gigs): Just need to decide whether to buy the smaller Diago Micropower9 that fits under the Pedaltrain and wire in the power cables. Also, would like to find a matching Dimarzio 18" cable to replace the temporary one one the Whammy 'out' side.

krispn Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 (edited) Thought I'd chime in here. My board has gone from dirty pedal board...... There is an A/B looper which combined a Phat Phuk and ODB-3 in one loop and had a Pickle Pie in the other. [attachment=115374:photo.JPG] To this much less offensive clean machine.... Again the brain stays, the looper, which has a Aguilar DB 924 in one loop and a BB Bass Pre amp in the other with everything going out through the compressor. The BB is a great wee unit and it really allows me to adjust the drive to the DB924 pre amp so volumes and tones are as even as possible. Its not very complex but gives a really solid tone. It's perfect for the gigs I'm playing at the minute. I'll also say that a A/B pedal is really handy on a board and means a one button change and no tap dancing, I'd heartily recommend it to you guys who have a less comples set up but need to change sounds quickly with out tap dancing mid song.

AndyW Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Absolutely love the new Whammy. All the old issues (for me) have been removed and most importantly it's a whole lotta fun! Having the option to 'cleanly' pitch shift whole chords opens up some great new possibilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krispn Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Eskimo Those pedals from the nasty board are all gone. It was for my old band who disbanded earlier this year. I'm not into too much dirt on bass so didn't need all that filth! The W&C stuff is great. I'd be interested in trying the TC ELectronic Spark booster in place of the phat Phuk as it appears to have added versatility. If anyone has tried the TC Spark boost let me know!
