How do you use the two filters?

I’ve got a third filter on the board as well.. they are all set for different purposes- The Prunes and Custard with some OC-2 and Fuzz is synth type sound etc…

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

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!
