Oh well I'll just have to scour ebay for another or just buy one from their website

[quote name='mr pablo' post='166844' date='Mar 31 2008, 01:21 PM']Here's my updated board, still got a compressor to get and i quite fancy another hyperpak cause i miss the one i sold to Finbar. . .

[attachment=7151:Pedals.jpg]

Signal goes:

Bass > TU2 > Cream Pie > EQ > Chorus > SAPBDDI

I plan on using the stereo out on the chorus when I get another cab to run a stereo set up one half clean one half dirty just for the banter [/quote]

Nice board. What's the Dave Hall pedal at the top? Looks interesting.

[Finbar]

Well if I ever make another board (something I'm thinking of for when I have more money - a mini board with tuner, distortion/blend, chorus and maybe a delay or compressor), I'd definitely be getting a second Hyperpak for that. I'm sold on it!

Correct

[Murph_Orpheus]

Hey guys. Could anyone suggest a reasonably priced and decent pedalboard to get?

[Kev]

diago too much for you??

if you want a pedalBOARD mainly, and not really a case, just make it yourself

[Murph_Orpheus]

Well preferably a case! I just checked up on diago there and they look pretty sweet. See I just shelled out on a big block 750 so the funds are a little low at the moment so something a little cheaper would be nice

[mr pablo]

look [url="http://www.flightcasewarehouse.co.uk"]Here[/url]

there are a few cases on the site at various prices also you could try ebay?

[Kev]

how big do you need?

[Murph_Orpheus]

I ended up getting a TKL pedalboard case and it was a decent price so I'm happy enough with that, cheers lads!

[Alfie]

I think I am finally ready to leave my board alone for a while. The Big Muff was not to my tastes and it has been replaced by boosters of all variety.

[cheddatom]

Nice.

If you're using the LS-2 as a blend, try the compressor in your effects blending loop with the dry signal uncompressed. You might prefer it!


EDIT: Nice doesn't describe the effect your board has had on me! Oh yeh.

Thats looking pretty sweet, loving your Wah btw and ofcourse your compulsory RAGE overdrive - Comptortion is it? Isnt this loads smaller than your previous board though, what prompted the downsize?

[Ant]

cheers, yeah it's a comptortion and the board is loads smaller just for ease of transport. i still have my other pedals and bring a few extra every now and then

I want a DHA pedal so bad! The twin bass overdrive looks like it might be quite nice!

[Finbar]

I found the twin distortion to be completely not to my liking when I had one. Pity, because it was THE single coolest looking pedal I have ever seen once you have the lights out ;p

I bought a compressor a while back and didn't get along with it, but I'm really GASing on a new one for some reason. I can't decide what I want though. I don't know if I want something like a Compulator, or something like that DHA one, which looks very sexy. They do totally different sounds though, as far as I can see.

[Alfie]

I have never been entirely convinced by compression, I can definitely live without it. That said, I have two compressors (an Orange Squeezer clone along with the DHA) and I am happy with both of them.

I bought the DHA on impulse- I had wanted a proper valve pedal for a while but couldn't justify having another overdrive. I was surprised by its versitility and I really like the growly punch that it gives to my mids.

I did consider a compulator a while back, but I decided that studio quality compression is not something I would use that often. It also seemed a bit dear and a bit boring. If I did decide I needed something cleaner, I would probably go for a Barge Concepts compressor, or I would build a compulator myself.

What did you not like about it? What sort of sounds were you getting?

[Kev]

i didnt really like mine either, thought i think if i would have put lower gain valves in it i would have liked it better

[Finbar]

I can't really put my finger on what I didn't like about it. I think the fact that it was such a 'natural' sound is one of the main things. I couldn't get it to go absolutely wild and still have control over it, if that makes sense. And the step from the first valve distortion to both valves at once created too much a volume inconsistency for me. I know I tried it with my Roland combo (rather than my valve amp), which doesn't like distortion much, but other pedals sound... 'alright' through it.

I don't know, the build quality was superb, the looks were fantastic in that homemade way - the valves shining through the holes are mint! Dave is also a top notch, patient man. If you can try one before you buy one, then I suggest you do. I wouldn't want my experience alone to put you off, it just wasn't the sound I wanted.

Very basic board so far, saving space for a 105q.



And the rack stuff:

odb-3, good man

hows the bass chorus?? i might get one

Edited April 5, 2008 by BassManKev

[vegas_hooker]

I bought an ODB-3 off of here last week since ive never really played one and the opportunity was there. I have to admit it was better than I was expecting. Though the bees in a bottle remark is pretty fair.
