Too much wah, not enough dirt!!!

I don't really know what the blowtorch is like else i'd recommend a complimentary OD.

I love the momentaty loop idea, i've thought of doing this before but never got round to it.

Did you buy that on here? I wanted it - looks really handy.

And I'm pretty sure I bought a Blowtorch off you last year, didn't I? Decided you missed it too much?

Your board sounds well set up. I need to knock up a couple of mini-loopers with momentary switches...

Wait till I post a pic of my updated board this time next week :P There will be 12 pedals including a compressor, and 6 of them are overdrive/distortion/fuzz pedals :brow:

Pretty much complete overkill, but at least I’ve put 1 of them up for sale ;)

I like wah ;)

Yeah, I did get rid of the BT, but it's a nice synthy fuzz, so it's coming back in!

Momentray switching is great, like dancing on ya looper, yes i did get it off here a few month back

OK, I need more dirt, the BT is an almost synthy fuzz, can get messy, but it does the synthy fuzz better me thinks, Have been tempted by the odd Big Muff

I don't really understand why but I really, really want that...

My comments on wah vs dirt were probably a little stupid. I used to gig with 3 wahs, plus some wahs on my B2.1U, and 4 or 5 distortions, plus some on my B2.1U. It sounds like total overkill but at the time seemed perfectly logical.

[quote name='fifeq' post='410638' date='Feb 15 2009, 11:53 PM']what are those two pedals in top left corner?[/quote]


they're both cranetortoise DD-1B bass distortions

...and the GAS it was no more. For once I've decided that I'm quite happy with my set up and I can't be arsed with any more pedals. It's a really nice feeling.

Though I do have an 18V Cool Cat (current one's a 9V) and DOD FX72 on the way, they'll probably stay off the board unless the 18V CC sounds better than the 9V.

You can't post a photo like that without explaining why there's two LS-2s and two VTs.

Haha, it's not nearly as interesting as it might look to some, but it works for me :)

The LS-2 to the left has a VT Bass in each loop, set to A<>B (on VT Bass for cleaner sounds, one for more overdriven). The LS-2 to the right is used to blend the DD-3, Cool Cat, Hyper Drive and Bass Auto Q with a clean signal. The EQ is used just for when I'm using my passive bass, as a kind of outboard preamp.

A lot has changed since the last time I posted a pic in this thread –

I don’t really know what I’m doing in terms of separate stomp boxes and signal chains as I’m used to my Pod XT Live multi-effect pedal, but I’m having a lot of fun with this. I can’t fit all my effects on it though (not that I’ll need them) so I've got a delay, a symth, and another fuzz that I can't squeeze on. Oh well...

Check out my beasty practise amp :brow: I use that in the house rather than my main rig so the neighbours don’t call the police :)

Cool, sounds nice and practical. You must really like the tone of the VT Bass. Is this why they're so hard to find - because you bought them all?

I still haven't tried one, been meaning to.

Indeed! It's been great! I love it to bits, but I need to be realistic about it's applications. It's really funky, but I don't play much funk or anything that calls for an envelope or Stevie-sounds. It's currently for sale, because I'm only using the fuzz circuit. I'm more of a rock kind-of-guy.

I may change my mind by the start of April though, because new firmware is being released. Should be interesting!

Cheers for the offer man but I’m happy holding onto the Pod at the moment. It comes in handy quite a lot :rolleyes:

I've completed my last pedal build for the foreseeable future... "The Compressor", basically its an orange squeezer. I have also recently built the "This Belongs in a Museum", which is a LPB.
