toneknob Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 Still a work in progress, but aren't they all... Out of shot: Diago Power Station, GigMan. To be added: MarkBass Super Synth, Sonuus Wahoo, a few others... Quote

Also, by the looks of it, you have the coiled cable joining up the input and output of your "B" loop. Is that acting as a clean blend for the pedals in Loop "A"? If so, I'm pretty sure you don't need to actually run a cable between them - if you leave them both empty, it does the same job. Unless of course I'm seeing it wrong, in which case carry on!

[/quote] Thanks Paul, yes that's exactly the intent of the curly lead - mix in a clean signal with the fuzz (Bushy Bison), wah (105Q) or env filter (the Ashdown). I've not given the LS-2's manual too close a read, but I was totally oblivious to what you've suggested, and if that's the case, then it makes a big difference to the cabling - thanks! I got the idea from a Scott Devine video where he does the same, but the B loop has an octave pedal on it for added low end. I just assumed I could do kind of the same but without the pedal, just a cable from B "out" to B "in". Quote
toneknob Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 I've just checked the manual at http://media.rolandus.com/manuals/LS-2_AD.pdf and I've clocked the top right diagram on the last page. "A+B Mix -> Bypass Mode - You can mix effect and straight sounds to create a new effect", with the B channel empty. I'll give it a go and see what happens! Quote
Sibob Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 Re-shuffled my main board: [IMG]http://i59.tinypic.com/ekq8hd.jpg[/IMG] Just felt like a bit of a change is all, nothing wrong with the old sounds. Although I did want to streamline power & tuning, so off came the T-Rex Juicy Lucy & TU-2, on goes Diago & TC. Just for some rotation, Fuzzrocious Dark Driving has replaced the COG 66 & because of the tuner/power change, had space to add the Mammoth clone I built Oh also moved OC-2 to post dirt rather than pre, MUCH better! Si Quote
GazWills Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 nice and compact! so are you another 'OC-2 after dirt' advocate too?? I just don't get on with my OC-2 after o/d or fuzz, but it seems to be how most people run their boards! Quote
bobbass4k Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 Been on a bit of a shopping spree: Super Synth will likely make way (financially and physically) for an expression pedal and one of those mission multi-expression majiggys, as I now have 3 expression capable pedals and no expression pedal. Quote
GazWills Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 Here's mine, now with added flange I still think, for how I use everything here, the OC-2 sounds best before dirt, but I do think I'll give it another try post-dirt again soon, just to be sure BF-2 is a beaut, nails that Cure - 'The Holy Hour' tone instantly Quote
GazWills Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 shouldn't we all be out boozing, who'd have thought midnight on a friday night was rush-hour for pedal updates! Quote

For this band I rarely use OC-2 with dirt, but when I do, I want to retain the subby lows, not compress it out with the dirt pedals. So I get slightly 'duller' dirt with the OC-2 on, but sounds massive Si Quote

Sibob Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 Yeah it's cool, real grindy, and surpringly more gain in the mix than I thought. I thought I'd have to max the gain, but ended up winding it back a bit! Need to re-jiggle the board as the Mammoth enclosure doesn't lend itself to being the 2nd row on the flat. Don't have enough clearance for a riser though with how I store/transport it. Also think I need the tuner at the end of the chain as there seems to be some weirdness with the Polytune having a gain pedal after it! Si Quote
Guinness21 Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 [b] [url="http://basschat.co.uk/user/22107-lxxwj/"]lxxwj[/url] how do you like the combination of bass big muff and b3k?[/b] Quote

0175westwood29 Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 New pedalboard at long last, my old boss thing lost its lid about 2 years ago so its nice to be able to close this one, only missing the cog effects custom Quote

SimonEdward Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 (edited) 2014: Pedal board (update).. won a pre loved 'SGT Pepper' pedal board at auction and it arrived yesterday. The chain is (right to left): - Loop 1: OC2 > Auto Q | Loop 2: Shaker > Coroner > Vortex > Alter Ego > HOF | Output: Nova Dynamics > Polytune > Sonic Stomp | to amp.. ** the polytune IS in an illogical position, and when I can stop noodling for five-minutes, I will try and sort it out! ..and here it is again, but someone turned out the lights Edited February 24, 2014 by SimonEdward Quote

[/quote] They're all a very similar circuit, albeit with some component/architectural changes, and with the 66, some significant feature additions. I'm currently running my 66 with Germaniums in channel 1 and LEDs in channel 2, the OCD circuit, same as the DEMON, is traditional MOSFET clipping. As such, the answer is yes, the 66 can get OCD/DEMON-esque tones, but a lot more to boot! Si Quote

Have you been able to get anywhere near the scooped B3K-type tone from it as well at all? Tom's stuff's already on my board, but I'm looking to cover as many dirt tones with as few dirt boxes as possible! Thanks Si Quote

I simply needed 2 channels of gain in as smaller a footprint as possible. Did you see the video demo I did for the 66 on youtube? Not had it sounding like a B3K, but then I'm not a fan of the B3K/B7K tone, so that's fine by me Si Quote
