harvey1-8 Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 (edited) [quote name='EskimoBassist' post='494549' date='May 21 2009, 06:37 PM']REALLY nice board mate, I think if I had a small one it would look something like this, nice work. Question on everyone's lips: what's the Animato like? Worth £200?[/quote] Thanks for your kind words. I like the Animato a lot. I had no idea how it would sound so a completely blind buy. But it has a very unique tone and many people have complemented that tone since I've had it. £200 was a bit of an extravagance but I'm glad I got it. I very much doubt I'll sell it. [quote name='1976fenderhead' post='494632' date='May 21 2009, 08:29 PM']Not enough distortion on that board I'm afraid... [/quote] HA! The Fulltone bass driver is on there for the covers band. It's a little more subtle and sits better with the style of music we play. The other 2 are permanent for my proper band. I'm still experimenting with other pedals to fill the gap the Fulltone leaves. I've got a Carbon Copy and a bass octave that I've had on and off the board in it's place but still not settled on anything. Any suggestions? [quote name='Finbar' post='494704' date='May 21 2009, 10:12 PM']Wouldn't mind soundclips of the Animato if you're capable of doing them [/quote] I'll have a play at the weekend. It's supposed to rain on Monday so it'll give me something constructive to do. I'll post a link here if I have any success. Hopefully the attachment below will work. It's taken straight out of my pedal board into the computer, nothing fancy going on, just a fade out to kill the endless sustain from the Thunderbird, so you'll have to excuse the crap quality. Clean for a bit then Animato after about 10 or 12 seconds. Hope it works!

Sold 75% of my effects (which were bedroom use only in the main) to buy a new bike, leaving me with these four that always come in handy. Pedal Train mini turned up today. I might invest in some George L's, but it's not a priority. I'd love to find a power supply that has an 18v output capability (for the Blow Torch, which the DC brick has)) AND has isolated outputs to deal with the reverse polarity of the Compulator (if I use the DC Brick, it shorts out the other outputs), then I'd get one of those. For now, the Compulator runs on batteries.[/quote] Absolutely love that board (though I hate the sound of the Blowtorch). Didn't know Pedaltrain was doing that model, thought you had turned it upside down for some reason :-p Why do they do it like that anyway? Weird... It won't take a CryBaby will it? Hey why don't you get one of those virtual batteries for the Compulator (I think it would work) and the Diago 9v-18v converter cable for the Blowtorch? I've been using one of those for my MXR Stereo Chorus for a long time and never gave me any problems...

If my microsynth hadn't come with one, I'd buy a virtual battery, but it's the price of a full blown adaptor anyway so I won't bother...

I tried and I haven't had any problems at all, it works fine for me...and many other people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete.young Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Been meaning to do this for a while. I've just acquired a Diago Showman from a forum member so that I could fit my G5 (also from a forum member) onto the board and didn't have to transport it in a separate case. Here's what it looks like now with all the pedals in a chain from right to left: When I get time I'm going to tidy up the wiring and cables and put the expression pedal for the G5 on. I also have a double looper, originally thinking it would be good to get the G5 out of the chain. I'm currently thinking along the lines of: Tuner -> Loop 1 -> Compressor -> Octabass -> G5 -> Fuzz Loop 2 -> Chorus Any suggestions for improvements welcomed. This is dependent on me finding a way to mask the looper LEDs which are dazzlingly bright even in sunlight. I also have a tremolo which might usefully take up some of the space. I'm not thrilled with the compressor and will probably replace it with something better at some point. Before I got the Diago I was using this home-made job, basically a wooden frame in a Maplin toolbox turned upside down, with some detachable hinges pop-riveted onto the box. If anyone is interested in acquiring this fine vintage piece of bodgery please make me an offer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finbar Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 (edited) I do quite like the sound of that Animato, but not enough to spend £200 on it I don't think. As for masking the LED, are you wanting permanent or non-permanent? I'd say tipp-ex, but maybe masking tape would work better.

Through the amp it's completely different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbass4k Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 (edited) Still no actual board, but this summer there WILL be, I'll make one if it kills me Crappy camera phone pic: The green stache and the cool-cat will be leaving (someone PLEASE buy them......) I was a little wary of letting the cool cat go, but the detune modes on the wh-4 I got to replace my dead xp-100 are perfect for my limited chorusing needs The rather functional looking grey box is a custom feedback looper made by Umph (Mammoth sound audio) I'm very happy with it, I'd definitley reccomend them Edited May 29, 2009 by bobbass4k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burno70 Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Hey Bob, how do you find the Cherry Pop? I've been looking out for small fuzzes to potentially replace my Assmaster- (pure real estate decision) and this could be what I'm after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gafbass02 Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Heres the latest version of my gigging board, nothing special but works nicely for me. Its just practical and functional and easy to control. Nothing boutique or out the ordinary though, and yes i STILL say the zoom 506 is the greatest bass fx unit ever, i have another smaller board and have one on there too! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still undecided as to which to sell. I like some of the sounds on the xp-100, but I prefer the tracking and construction of the wh-4, the xp-100 isn't actuallt fixed properly yet, so I'll keep them both for now. 4 octaves up is an experience to be reckoned with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Ahhh, I was wondering if you had them set up for massive mental harmonies or something. I love the wahs on the XP-100. I found the octave down to be just as good as my OC-2 so I gave it to my guitarist! Heh. BTW of course the ladies love the whammies, are you on the muse board by any chance?
