Post your pedal board - Basschat style!!

[quote name='LuvMusic' post='839993' date='May 17 2010, 06:26 PM']That's a pretty good summary of my experience also. The blend really helps and the phaser is on the subtle side. I find that it compliments my tone versus becomes my tone. I really like it. They are expensive, but, if you shop around, you can find them used at a more reasonable cost. That's what I did and paid much less than $300.00 US. In fact there are a couple on evilbay right now for about $250.00 US.[/quote]

still prety pricey for my needs, but each to their own - i think a phase 45 sounds just as good for the subtle thing on bass, but way cheaper...

MP pedals do sound nice though, had the deep blue delay for a while, for short delays it was immense

You're right...the MXR Scripts are nice. I've been using a Line 6 M9 for my "grab and go" solution and the Script Phase model is always in the line-up!

i had a larger board but got a mini myself last week, [b]but my t-rex fuel tank junior is too big [/b]- looks like the diago is the perfect fit, so cheers!!

i'll be putting a pic of mine up next week once the diago arrives - all hail the pedaltrain mini!!![/quote]

Before you dump your Fuel Tank Jr. you may want to check-out what this guy does. Might make you think twice: [url="http://www.thegearpage.net/board/showthread.php?t=671667&highlight=mini"]http://www.thegearpage.net/board/showthrea...;highlight=mini[/url]

Modding a Mini to accomodate a Fuel Tank Jr. is very doable.

ooh - cool, some of those look dead tidy.

to be honest, it's probably more work than i can be bothered with!! i have a buyer for the mini anyway, and the diago is on order, but thanks for the suggestion!

After the huge clear out, I have stuck with the following… It does all I need, with the only other sounds coming from the Overdrive section of my EBS Fafner head….



TC Electronics Polytune
EBS Unichorus
Boss DD-20 Delay
Patched together with George L's, on a Pedal Train Mini, Powered by a Diago Powerstation.

Simple, effective, light, etc etc etc

Nice.

I recently got a DD-20 and i've been struggling a little. Probably because I didn't take the time to learn it with guitar or bass before adding it to my drum pedalboard. Anyway, do you find the tap tempo function OK? Mine reacts ok to differences in tempo of tapping, but the tempo of the delays don't bear much relation to the tempo of the tap.

Hmmm…. I love the pedal, but use the 2 headed tape delay and the Warp setting the most…

This was my first Tap Tempo delay pedal so I don't have much to compare to.When using it at rehearsal, if I tap a solid rhythm along with whats being played then start playing it does react in time with the music, but not in the sense of one foot tap per delay so to speak. Almost like the delay is double time to the tap.

I do find it easier to get my hear around when you change the display from Milisec's to BPM!

I didn't know you could set it to BPM!! Excellent, i'll give that a go. At the moment it's as though it's going at 3 times the speed of my tapping, or something like that.

The [url="http://lib.roland.co.jp/support/en/manuals/res/1811215/DD-20_e1.pdf"]DD-20 manual[/url] shows you (on page 26) all the different relationships you can set between the tap tempo and the delay time in terms of note lengths. I personally don't have a DD-20, but I've fiddled with one for a good long while and as long as I had the TEMPO thing set to a crotchet (quarter note, call it what you will ) the delay time was equal to the tap tempo. And, of course, you can set it to quavers (two delays per tap) or triplet quavers (three delays per tap). That's the beauty of the beast! Dotted notes are always a good one with delays.

As the man says,

You can alter it… quite right.

To change between BPM & Delay Time just hold 'TAP' button for 2 seconds.

Well, I did look AT the manual, it's just I forgot to look inside.

To be fair you wouldn't normally expect to have to read the manual for your blender.

what ratio of wet / dry do you set it?
does it help retain the low end?

Wet/dry to taste. Low end can start to become a little flabby and farty with the addition of chickpeas.

Nice board Shep! Did you end up buying a PT mini in the end? I absolutely love mine. And with some creative layout planning you can cram a lot onto the mini.

I did mate, with the money from pedal sales.

All good. Have a final mini pedal on it's way to try out on there as well which I think will work nice as well. Pics to follow

Added album artwork (see avatar/Myspace link in sig) to the outside of my board case.



It isn't perfect yet - needs some touching up, but it's a good start.
