MothBox Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 [attachment=181053:2015.01.15 Pedal Board.jpg] [color=#141414][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]It goes:[/font][/color][list] [*][b]Carl Martin Opto-Comp[/b] - bought off the back of Bongos review. Wanted something reasonably priced that gets rid of random peaks. [*][b]TC Electronic Polytune Mini 2 [/b]- soon to arrive, because it is small. [*][b]Kalikot Audio Hikari [/b]- heard it was based on a Dementer. Use as a boost to goose the Beta. Currently flicking between the Opto and this to see what works best. [*][b]Pump Lab Fuzz Against The Machine[/b] - bought this after seeing Juans demo. Loads of meaty bottom end. [*][b]SolidGoldFX Beta[/b] - usually have the gain turned down and the tone just before 12 o'clock. It's becoming a really key part of my sound through choruses where I want to boost the bottom end. [*]Smallsound Bigsound Mini - to me this feels like a low gain fuzz than a distortion. Really tight. Usually drop this in over the Beta. [*][b]MXR Analog Chorus[/b] - had the Corona before and loved it, but wasn't using the toneprints so picked up this as a replacement. I find it much easier to play with. [*][b]Chicago Stompworks Moose Pie[/b] - wanted to dip my toe back into the Muff pool because its got a more open distortion in comparison to the FATM and Mini, theres some feedback and it absolutely rips.

GazWills Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 cool board I use the MXR chorus too - never seen anyone use the cutoffs like you though (cutting chorus to highs and just modulating the lows!!) very envious of the beta / mini combo too!

[/quote] I had it the opposite way originally but felt that the highs were too pronoucned and lost some clarity whereas the unmodulated bottom end didn't really come through as I wanted. This will likely change through time as I play with my amp a bit more. Its a little hifi at the moment and I think thats where some of these settings are comming from. [quote name='ordep' timestamp='1421349426' post='2660292'] nice to see a fellow hikari user. :-) [/quote] Its a decent little pedal and the key thing for me was the space. I think I will keep it as the sole compressor and get rid of the opto if I put anything else on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebass84 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Pretty happy with this set up. Maybe change out the big muff (the swollen pickle is much better imo) but I'm not sure what for.

Got to say, I'd like to hear about how it performs as a comp. [/quote] I dial it in with compression but also with a bit of boost above unity. I find there is a much more noticeable squish with the Hikari than with the Opto, although I really have no experience with compressors to tell you what its actually doing. If it is a Demeter clone there is a review on Ovni labs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonEdward Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 (edited) [size=4][color=#404040][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]My current board and case is the 'Showman' by Diago UK. There is no chain as such as there are separate isolated feeds from each pedal into the Octaswitch 2 (by Carl Martin). You can make up your own patches by cutting in the sounds you need with the micro dip switches. The pedal order is:- TC Electronic Polytune Noir, [/font][/color][/size][color=#404040][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]BOSS OC-2 (Octaver),[/font][/color][color=#404040][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif] Nova Modulator (NM-1), Alter ego (Delay), HOF (Reverb) and Nova Dynamics (compressor). It's all powered up with a 'Pro Power' by Carl Martin, which I would recommend to anyone.

GazWills Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 (edited) I know the feeling - I have a few up for sale so I can buy something else New addition - the eterna reverb... amazing!! Just counting down the days til Pedaltrain release the Metro 24 board so I don't have to keep the OC-2 on the floor! Only problem I can see with the new Pedaltrain boards, there is nowhere to put your stickers Edited January 18, 2015 by GazWills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 (edited) could you not squeeze that OC2 on by moving the others closer together? just finished tweaking and setting up my nano board for live use, really impressed with this ovnifx compressor so it goes: Bass -> TC Electronic Polytune Noir -> OVNIFX Smoothie Compressor -> Suncoast B1P Bass Preamp -> Palmer PDI-09 DI box -> Demeter Minnie 800D power amp -> Barefaced Super 15 with nice neon pink gaffa so i can see my settings and where to stand on stage Edited January 24, 2015 by Ant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
