lxxwj Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 I'd like to hear your music! I have a CE-5 myself and I find it's a little bit too subtle for my taste. How does the multicomp work for you? Quote
Mark Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 I have no quality recording and we're still composing/finalizing tracks but if I have any day I'll let you know... I like the multicomp as an always on pedal, it doesn't color the sound much IMO with a light compression setting, even in tubesim mode which I use and find the best (my settings : comp/limit : 11 ; gain : 9 or 10 ; active bass switch position ; tubesim mode). The compressor is mandatory to me before the bass Whammy (and octaver) for a better tracking. I must admit I would like to compare to others like the MXR bass compressor pedal or even a rack like DBX 160 or something but I'm quite happy with it till now. Quote

dudewheresmybass Posted February 21, 2013 Author Posted February 21, 2013 Mr dpowers- that is a very tidy and well constructed board! Quote
SkinnyMike Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Here's my latest pedal board. All I need now is that MXR compressor and i'm all sorted! Quote

dpowers Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 cheers dude. took long enough to make! got into making clone pedals recently so no doubt going to run out of room very quickly.the pedal top right is a woolly mammoth cone ready to be painted. Quote

xgsjx Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 Neither. Get a bigger board & have it all! Quote
xgsjx Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 [quote name='Mark' timestamp='1361348758' post='1984769'] Listening to Tool made me fall in love with whammy, flanger & delay that's a fact cause combinations of these are pure genius to me but buying/trading effects I found my own sound and combinations with these on my board to compose with my band and rejected some as CE-5 chorus or Guyatone BR-2 effects which I don't really like nor fit in my band.

Both have their charms and uses! Not used the GS live yet though, so the second board will probably stay like this. Although I did just rig it up as Octamizer>Oxide>Subdecay Prometheus>Quasar DLX which is quite cool. Looks like I'm gonna need another Nano [quote name='ordep' timestamp='1361556752' post='1987580'] sell the korg then get the polytune mini, problem solved. :-p [/quote] Nice idea but when you take into account the Pitch Black has it's jacks on the side, and the rest of the pedals on the board have top mounted jacks, it doesn't actually save any space! Plus mine has blue LEDs so it improves the tone drastically - Even if it is on the Tuner Out of my Sadowsky Pre-Amp Quote
spaners Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 just thought id give you all a flash of mine, the board is home made from 5mm ally, made a second for a m8 too Quote

LiamPodmore Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Mini poll/vote thingy 1: Line6 Relay G50 - TC E Polytune Mini - Tech 21 VT Bass - Mooer Pure Octave, all on a Pedaltrain Nano OR 2: Line6 Relay G50 - TC E Polytune Mini - Tech 21 VT Bass with a Mooer Pure Octave in the effects loop, all on a Pedaltrain Mini It's mainly a debate of do i need 6 presets or not, and where else could i use that extra £100+ that i'd save by not getting the deluxe.
