basexperience Posted April 5 Posted April 5 (edited) Here's the current board - MIDI enabled, I switch patches on the FI and C4 from a FCB1010, which also gives me a couple of expression pedals. The SYB-5 usually has an expression pedal plugged into it too, and the Soundbox filter can have one too, if needed, to alter the filter sweep. The freeze and ditto are for my own amusement... One thing I have noticed, the FI has really fragile pots on it, so I'm going to have to repair it again and get it miniaturised so I can protect it more. I might even build a cage for the controls to protect them further. PSU is one of the Harley Benton ISO-10AC Pro ones, which I can't recommend enough - great PSU at an amazing price, built like a tank and silent. The HB switcher on here is pretty good, too, and does include midi, although I'm not using it. The cheap Kliq tuner turned out to be really good! Latest addition is the M-VAVE ANNBLACKBOX, which is *way* better than I expected. Really solidly built, the mobile app and PC editor are actually really good, and it can model amps and cabs. The on-device UI is actually quite good! Mono only, this isn't an HX stomp by any means, but the sound quality is good enough to provide occasional spooky reverbs and even some decent overdrive. Board was originally built for a synth / dance project (hence all the synth goodness) but it's proving very flexible. The weight, though... ha Edited April 5 by basexperience 6 Quote
Si600 Posted April 5 Posted April 5 Massive rework of my board, from a DIY thing based on reclaimed 19" rack plates to this, utilising Rob's 3D printer and his patience! And the lights are on, I'm not convinced anyone is home though! 14 Quote

jimbobothy Posted April 7 Posted April 7 (edited) … a couple of ideas for a ‘Black’ themed board … … both are passive DIs, and the pedals will be powered by a Cioks Expander 4, or a 1 Spot. I’ll need to see what works best! It has got to the point where my pedal purchases are based on function AND colour coordination he he 🤣 Edited April 7 by jimbobothy 11 1 Quote

I just passed on that C4 as I just got the same bass envelope filter 😅 and here you are, running both, I'm so jealous It's a good board, but those synths are all on the same loop... which can make things a little awkward 😄 I also discovered the Future Impact has very fragile knobs - I'll have to take it off and get one of those recases to make it smaller, and then pull it into the board a bit. The FCB1010 I drive it with has the UNO chip mod, which means a single patch can change so much stuff. Right now the C4 is making a good Moog bass patch for me, the chorus is in use on some tracks. I should really make another board without the freeze and the ditto, just for live band work. I really can recommend those Harley Benton ISO10AC Pro PSUs. Excellent piece of equipment. That filter pedal took some sourcing, too. Tricky to find. The extended EQ option you can enable on it through the hidden menu is amazing. Quote

I was just about to turn off the extended EQ, I'm like what do I need the high 8k for, just makes the menu more confusing. You're saying I shouldn't do that? 😁 Quote

You're saying I shouldn't do that? 😁 Actually, you've reminded me that the tale of acquiring the filter had a false start - I bought the guitar version by mistake and had to enable the extended LOW eq while I was using it. You're right - there's no need for the 8K! Although I may now check it out with the expression pedal plugged in to see what happens when I sweep things a bit... great pedal, though.. 1 Quote

bassist_lewis Posted April 9 Posted April 9 (edited) I've given my pedalboard a complete overhaul, taking all the velcro off everything and replacing it with 3M Dual Lock "pedalboard" tape, rewiring everything to go through a QMX 6, and mounting two pedals underneath. It's not quite as perfectionist as some you see online but its a lot cleaner looking than it was before. That 3M stuff makes the pedals a nightmare to remove though, so switching things around just got a lot harder 😂 Signal chain is: Canvas Tuner > (via QMX) Octabvre > Doom 2 > Halcyon > Ghost Vibe > Xerography > Jive > Noble.

jimbobothy Posted April 9 Posted April 9 (edited) … with the 3M Dual Lock I tend to use a piece 1” x 1”, then cut that into 4 smaller squares. One of these smaller squares per pedal corner and it’s secure but reasonably easy to get off. Also stem density is 400 on one side and 250 on the other (well, highest density and medium density anyhow lol)! Edited April 9 by jimbobothy Quote

This is the way - I have learned from the best. …also the normal thickness stuff lets you put a thin patch cable eg EBS in the gap below the pedal. this is also the wisdom of jimbobothy not me, the price of his pedalboard building online class is not bad! 1 Quote
Kev Posted April 9 Posted April 9 What I find worse with Dual Lock is getting it off a pedal if you ever need to, selling it etc, the adhesive is wicked! Quote

jimbobothy Posted April 10 Posted April 10 Think a Pedaltrain Riser … I’ve been tempted to try one but know a Nano is the smallest I’d realistically want to go (also you get a bag with a Nano 🤣). Great little board though Chadu 👍🏻 Quote

Not joking, I stopped using Dual Lock after I sold 4-5 pedals all fitted with it at once and decided to try and remove it, it took hours! If they've made it more friendly, sounds good to me! Quote
