DiMarco Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Increasingly also-playing-guitar so divided my board into two sections. Left hand side is a complete guitar tube preamp with analog speaker emulation and a nice TC Trinity reverb pedal in its fx loop. This goes straight into a mixing desk/line in, bass rig or guitar amp (with the speaker sim switched off). Right hand side is a complete bass preamp with analog speaker emulation and two nice dirtboxes by Darkglass. This goes straight into a mixing desk/line in or bass rig (with the speaker sim switched off). This config also allows me to work on songs with our guitar player, simply plug the floorboard into my laptop and slap on a couple of headphones. Smart stuff with no modelling crap going on. Tons of tone! A smaller and better 1A power adapter is on its way as the Gator has a really stupid tiny fragile retarded idiotic connector towards mains that keeps falling out.

DiMarco Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Come to think of it: this board screams RIC-O-SOUND! Ordering the cable for this ASAP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_Arlita Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Just came here to post my Rick-O-Sound board and what do you know, the last comment is about it too! Bridge Pickup- Darkglass Vintage, EHX Freeze Neck Pickup- MXR Bass Octave Deluxe The case is an old IKEA drawer, just cut the board to size and added hookover hinges and butterfly catches to secure it.

pendingrequests Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Good to see so many Diago power supplies in use Order the Micropower 9 for my PTMini. Exceptional price for a highly regarded piece of kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liking the small compact setup a lot, and lots of great drive tones. Going to stick the Diago Micropower under the PT Nano later this week and feel like changing my cables to red at some point too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tayste_2000 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Volto like all the cool kids I approve of the above board but it needs an SFT mk1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tayste_2000 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 And a micro tuner so you fit more pedals, and a PT Pro next to it with all the cool stuff on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the SFT and 442 invert the phase for sure. It can be fixed in the mix as long as the engineer knows about it!

Did consider a Volto, and might end up going that way eventually. I'm not a fan of wires all over the place. Never played the original SFT, but really digging this 2nd version. Running it at 18v too. Fully spent up now for a while so things will have to wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Didn't use the 442 (also didn't know it inverted phase), SFT stayed one (& I did know about the phase issue) informed the producer and we were all good to go. Signal chain was Overwater into JDI thru I to Bassbone (no eq) fx loop into SFT and back to bassbone where the tuner out (pre fx loop) went out to the green muff into behringer GDI. Sounded great just need to replace the behringer with the tech 21 GT-2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N64Lover Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 My freshly built pedal board. I have had a big chunk of raw oak laying around and I have been waiting to make this for a long time now. I'm super happy with it and it sounds great despite some minor phase issues with the x-blender. [attachment=157224:IMAG0467.jpg] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si600 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Classy. Is that your cabinetry as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N64Lover Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Yes it is. It doesn't look quite as good close up, but it was my first attempt at dovetail joints and really one of my first stabs at woodworking as well so any flaws just add character!

Si600 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 It looks really nice. I'm not very good at wood working either but I'd be chuffed as a chuffed thing if it was mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awblaster Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I'm currently running this little setup. No board, partly because I'm cheap, and partly because I don't have enough hands to carry everything (carrying a bass, amp, backpack, and smoke machine is kind of inconvenient). Powered off a Diago PS01, running the daisy chain out from the tuner. Nothing too fancy, but it does the job. Next additions will probably be a chorus and a fuzz, which I'm going to be building. So that should be fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] You might want to rethink your power perhaps, if you're Daisy tuning from the Diego then you're probably fine, however if you're feeding the Tuner from the Diago, then Daisy chaining from the tuner, you're going to run out of juice almost instantly. The TU-2 can only supply 200ma, the Cathedral requires 200ma on its own (or that's what the manual suggests). Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intime-nick Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) Bit of a re-jig of the board. After some sterling advice from Tom @ COG it's now set up with 2x parallel processing loops. Added a Carl Martin PSU too - seems very quiet and has isolated 9&12V outputs. Chain is : Bass-thumpinator-LS2-tuner-sansamp PBDDI First loop has the M87 compressor in it Second loop has the COG Knightfall-Corona-EQ. corona soon to be replaced with custom COG pedal (not chorus) .... ;-) Working pretty well so far - lots of control over the clean vs. effected loops and goes straight into a Crown XLS1500 power amp / Berg AE212 setup.

ratman Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Here are the latest incarnations of my two boards. I'm still hankering after a Vintage Microtubes for the big board, and the Mooer on the small board isn't doing it for me, so that'll be swapped for something else soon.

iamtheelvy Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 In the process of updating my board at the moment. I compared my clean signal, straight into amp, to my signal through the board and concluded that I need a bypass strip... Looking at the Gigrig Quartermaster (relay tru-bypass + pretty expensive) or Brightonion (3PDT tru-bypass - Cheaper but more possibility of popping?). Any recommendations?
