lee650 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 (edited) My latest incarnation 😊 probably MK20 😂 Starts with the EBS Multicomp set on multiband mode with a higher threshold on the treble freqs. Into a Boss Ls2 to split the signal, the main line has the following Malekko Scrutator (with Moog expression pedal, filter set to low pass) MXR Bass Envelope filter Cog Custom Grand Tarkin Fuzz Source Audio Gemini Chorus (with chorus/flanger/phaser/resonator/envelope phaser programmed in) Loop A Aguilar Octamizer (set for clean deep octave) Cog Custom T65 octave (set with no clean and a tight fuzzy octave, with a hint of dirty octave up, for synth. These can be used directly or mixed in parallel with fuzz/envelope. Loop B Dope Fx Boba Fuzz (Gated Wooley Mammoth clone, with added mid control and 3 way sub switch and internal impedance control, more like a Mastotron) Source Audio Manta filter (set with a reverse low pass setting and a multi peak setting similar to the bassballs. All of these are mixed to taste with the clean signal! via the Ls2 😁 Edited June 8, 2019 by lee650 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Krow Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 (edited) The above gentleman has already caused the board update below to be out of date! Lol! Bit of a back to the future (impact) for me with both Stomp and FI back on the board. Said farewell to two filter pedals (Fwonkbeta and MXR BEF) one mini multifx (MX-60B), two comps (Keeley Bassist and TC Spectracomp) - decent comp on both my Zoom B1X-4 and a multiband on the Stomp. New at the end of the board with XLR output is the Q\Strip which was recently traded in exchange for a Yammy BB 425. Space on the board for Gecko Mk III midi control, in due course, and Mooer Lofi incoming to provide a pretty decent bitcrush / sample rate reduction. Particularly chuffed at finally getting the HX Stomp and SA Hub (both via USB) and Panda FI (via Roland UM-One midi interface) all connected up to the PC to enable easy access to software editing. Should keep me out of mischief for the rest of the summer Zoom B1X-4, as a slimline easy gig-bag-fit all in one pedal board / tuner / headphone amp, continues to provide all I need (for now!) for rehearsals and gigs. ... oh yes and I almost forgot! My much loved Valeton OC-10, which does a better Boss OC-2 tone than anything else I've come across, has been rendered otiose and is now in the FS. That is entirely down to the amazing new patches that @Quatschmacher has recently been putting together for the FI: Edited June 8, 2019 by Al Krow 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But may not get the Mooer GE 300 until late 2019 (would make for a nice b/day pressie), and possibly never at all if it proves to pants for bass!

I'm perhaps a bit weird in having my premier rig set up in my home studio - it's where I get to hear all the nuances of bass tone that we BC'ers eternally pursue. Playing live with a full rock band and ear plugs, nuances of bass tone for me (and everyone else!) are just lost! I've discovered that the Zoom B1X-4 multifx has an underlying 'digital noise' when notes are played. Something completely unnoticeable in a live situation, so that little pedal is working just fine for live use for me, right now. But now I've picked up on this digital noise (ped's fault!) and having a Berg CN212 cab that has greater articulation and clarity than anything I've had before, means I find his noise a distraction for home studio use. A bit long winded (apologies) but that's why the Stomp has made a return to my home board! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 If you're just using the Stomp in your home studio, take advantage of the fact that Stomp owners get a big discount on Helix Native and install that on your DAW before you sell it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannybuoy Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 The HX Editor is just an editor for a Helix device. If you sell your Stomp, that software will be useless.

Indeed, but if I sell my Stomp I presume that will be because I don't want to use it any more, or because something better has come along? 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 My point was you can save yourself a few quid by just using the software version if you're only messing with it in your home studio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krispn Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 @dannyboy I don't think @Al Krow means "studio" in the traditional sense and maybe more of a room where he plays his gear as opposed to doing a lot of on the computer recording/editing etc. @Al KrowIf there is a code going free for a cheap version of the Helix Native software I'll happily pay the £79 quid if you're not gonna use it!

After a bit of searching, I found the HB ISO-2 is just like at lot of their other products, rebadged generic items. I found the same item badged up as a Vitoos ISO8 on ebay for £35 (£40 with £5 off promotion). It arrived yesterday and I plugged it into my guitar rig with a few normally noisy pedals. This thing is good, hardly any noise at all from the pedals, the 12v and 18v powering respective pedals with ease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not a code, its just that price if you have a helix device registered to your account. I am going to pick that up when I remember. In which case I won't need to bring my helix HX effects in, as I will have the full helix here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moved a few pedals around, removed the Joyo compressor, added a tc electronic 3RD Dimension chorus and reinstated the Boss tremolo instead of the CKK electronics tremolo. Yellow switch caps before and after the noise gate, the black ones are in the noise gate FX loop... Not really a necessary or useful update, done just because I can.😀 Edited June 21, 2019 by blablas typo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I’m perhaps slightly regretting selling my Creation Grizzly. Might have been better in place of the Pork Loin...Still, the Loin gets synthier than the grizzly so maybe I made the right decision after all!

Al Krow Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Here's my latest incarnation. 3leaf GR2 won the filter wars (against stiff competition from a MXR BEF and Fwonkbeta). My trusty little Valeton OC-10 and a TC Spectracomp have also both been moved on too as I'm using octave down a bit less these days having gone pretty much exclusively 5 string and the Helix Stomp providing multi-band compression should I want it. In their place a bit crusher (or more accurately a sample rate reducer!) in the form of Mooer Lofi and a Tech 21 Q\Strip (which was part ex'd for a Yammy bass). Board feels like it's taking on a more settled composition, although I suspect that the Mooer is going to be the start of a slippery slope for me into the world of sample rate reduction, which does sound pretty juicy on the low E and B strings! All currently still for 'creative' home use, with a little Zoom B1X-4 still strutting its stuff for rehearsal and gigging duties. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
