Al Heeley Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Ahem, back to pedal boards for a sec, go get a room chaps. [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/alheeley/7443376626/][/url] A modest selection reshuffled for a big gig this sat, mixture of commercial boxes plus a few home made clones. Harmonic exciter from MadBean Bloviator pcb (BBE Sonic Stomp clone) - this is an outstanding pedal for enhancing the presence of bass or guitar, I'm totally in love with this pedal. Budget GLX (boss limiter clone) at the right - great little unit for very little money. Chorus is the small clone (tonepad pcb) with depth switch, and theres a gratuitous mammoth thrown in for good measure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Heeley Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 (edited) thx, i have secreted a strip of blue LED's along the width of the pedalcase, above the channel of the wiring bus - you can see the red lead poking out at the end on the left, when its plugged it it issues an eerie blue glow for absolutely no reason whatsoever Some minor surgery had to occur to cram the mini polytune into place.

Watch this space for the latest incarnation... [/quote] A bass whammy? Ya lucky bastard.. Good luck on that new board though, this one's pretty cramped.. even for what I've seen. I would like to know why you have 2 different pitchshifter/harmony pedals there.. Also, how do you run that bass wah? I could never get it to sound good for me..

The Wah I really struggled with to get any useful sounds at first.

RnRDave Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I think the Chorus said 'Wobble' and the tuner said 'Fix Up'. Mainly on there so nobody steals them like. The behringer BDI is the best £12.50 ive ever spent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomWIC Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Few updates to my board; a bigger board to start with, and the addition of a new tuner and Boss SYB-5. Haven't tested the latter in the signal chain yet, so it may be changing. The SansAmp may also be moving places when my programmable one arrives. As always, feedback is welcome.

EskimoBassist Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 You'll probably want the SYB-5 further up the chain to help its' tracking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomWIC Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 That was my guess but I'm still learning all about the signal chain so I thought I'd ask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EskimoBassist Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Yeah I mean bass end. Octavers and synth pedals always react better with a purer, stronger signal. So going direct from the Bass is great or going from your bass into a compressor and then into the synth would a little better, as the compressor would provide a little more sustain and a more even signal to trigger the effect.

They first appear on a big board at bottom left, a silver pedal and a white one next to a pandora px4b, later on there are a couple more white ones and a green one. I think one of the white ones was a hyperpak, but for the rest I have no idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
