radiophonic Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 This is the latest revision. The signal path isn't totally obvious from the layout, but it works for band purposes -the awesome El Cap being the final pedal. The SnU and Harmonist aren't final decisions and the latter may be on notice thanks to it's erratic 'on off' response to an expression pedal. I need to make way for a distortion to stack with the Pork Loin anyway, so anything not punching its weight is at risk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elfrasho Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 This is my new setup! Extremely happy with it. Don't currently have any need for anything else and the pres on it are awesome so this should be me for the foreseeable... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleat Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 My current er... pedal.. Not tried it yet as I'm still waiting for new bass to arrive... I dread to think what will happen when I plug this thing in... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basexperience Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Coming along nicely... the FCB is patch changing and expression controlling the Future Impact, whose Midi Thru feeds the Poly-mod filter. It works! the new project is going to sound insane...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the story goes it used to belong to a mate's mate's uncle's sister who was given it by the bass player from Judas Priest who was bought it as a gift from the singer who kept insisting he used it on the extreme setting ....so he got rid of it. Not sure if that's true or not though, I'm not about to sniff the pedal to find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see that they fit a decent range of slightly different shaped pedal switches. How snugly do they fit? As a side note, I got rid of my Boss Harmonist for similar reasons to the one you’ve said above... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Krow Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 (edited) I've ended up with two boards having started the year with just a couple of loose pedals plus my Alesis SR18 and the RC 30 Looper. A 'big board' for home use / noodling around / recording riffs and ideas on my RC Looper (which also doubles up as a mixer for the Alesis); or playing in 'stealth mode' using the Zoom B3n as a headphone amp, when family want some peace and quiet! The mini board has everything I need (code: am likely to be allowed to get away with by band mates!) for gigging.

The expression pedal behaviour of the PS6 is super annoying and I can't believe that Boss intend it to work like that. I've renamed it the 'Glitch Shifter' but it does have its uses and I'd need two other pedals to cover its functionality. I'm waiting to see what the TC Quintessence does to a bass before I decide to move it on though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimryan Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 It's just occurred to me that I haven't posted this. When I upgraded to a bigger board a month back I meant to post this photo, but for some reason forgot to. Only thing that is missing is my valeton dapper unit that sits across the top... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee650 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 @Jimryan very cool board! lots of synthy goodness. Ive been looking up that Heliotrope and it looks a very interesting pedal! its just made my gas list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use it more for the bit crusher side of things as it was the replacement for my old Mooer LoFi Machine, but there's so many different sounds you can get with it. Just takes a bit of time playing and tweaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really liked it and found it ideal for a "not sure if I'm going to like this effect so I'll get a cheap one first" pedal. Only moved it on as I wanted something a bit more thorough.

But haven' been using midi recently and they really need midi to unlock their full potential. I have never been a fan of digital pedals on a clean bass tone. But this board is built with mostly synth sounds in mind so I'll take the hit. And I still have the GR2 on there for funky squelch when required. But the new es8 has opened up all the midi possbilities again. Aftershock incoming too Im limiting myself to the novo 24 and all other pedals are being sold. One in one out policy from now on. A side note....The evidence audio sis cables connecting it all together are great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sk8 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Settle on this for now. The PDF is really more versatile than you might think; especially with the ecprsssion pedal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basexperience Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I’ve reworked my board a bit. Got a pedalbay 80 so I have room to grow. Not finished wiring yet, tonight was a test run to check the new power supply on the 9v side works (one 9v 3A supply for all of them! Woohoo!) The FCB makes the FI and PolyMod so easy to flip around, and I’ve got analog and MIDI expression pedals available. Does very strange but cool things to the PolyMod with both at the same time. The SYB-5 expression pedal is excellent, really makes the pedal sing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm always curious about non-boutique guitar drive pedals for bass - since bass specific drives didn't even exist when most of my favourite nasty bass sounds were recorded!

Sean Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Scaled down from my big board recently. TC Toneprint effects are fantastic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
