EskimoBassist Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Well long time no post, so here's a little update. Here's my little "essentials" board that a very small car forced me to put together: And here is my pride and joy HARDEHARR: EQ is to compensate extreme output of Thunderbird. I don't use the Flanger, Ultra Fuzz or Bass Synth Wah live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, signal: BASS > TU-2 > GEB-7 > MultiComp > M-80 > D.I. to F.O.H (Clean signal) > Output to 105Q > WOBO > AMP WOBO A: ODB-3 > CEB-3 > PHASE 90 > BF-3 > RF-1 > DD-6 WOBO B: OC-3 > G5 > BSW > UF-01 > BBM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use: Animato -> WM -> Flanger -> Phase 90 Give it a go, you may be able to work it into a song somewhere. Nice board, I just got a BSW in a trade and looking forward to using it at practice tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds pretty weird running a Flanger through a Phaser though, must say. Yeah the BSW is a fun pedal, nothing on it that I can't already cover, but some good sounds. Tbh I'll probs end up putting it on the board soon when I've got enough time to set it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

umcoo Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 It wasn't cheap when I got it, came from Canada and cost me about £150 in total with customs and everything. I've been watching them go on eBay lately, and they're reaching £80-120. Sign of the times maybe? I'm glad I've got it though...sounds like a bitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matty Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Cheers. Signal chain is: LS-2 (mixes my bass and keys)-> Behringer Sansamp thingy-> XP-100 -> Micro Pog -> Soul Provider -> Bass Big Muff -> Boss OC-2 -> PH-2 -> "FUNK" Box (Dod 440 copy) -> Volume -> Carbon Copy -> Reel Echo -> Holy Grail. And the FBV Express controls my Line6 Lowdown 750hd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deej Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 My camera is bost, so tacky phone pictures will have to do for now. This first one is my "essentials" board. Chain goes; MultiComp >SYB-5 > OC-2 > Blowtorch > Analogue Filter > Valcoder > Carbon Copy > Phase 90 > MXR M-80 And then this one is the fun board. Problem is, I cant actually afford to connect it all up yet...bad times.

And the treadle is seriously squeaky The Guv'nor just doesnt get used. I really really want to love it. But i just don't. Every time i change my board i try to get it on, but its no good.

pantherairsoft Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Right, finally got my first pedal board together, rather than just having some pedals on the floor so to speak... Here it is... Boss TU-2 Tuner -> Ashdown Lomenzo Bass Hyperdrive -> Boss Bass Flanger BF-2B -> Boss Bass Chorus -> EHX Bass Micro Synth XO -> Boss Digital Delay DD-3 All mounted on a Pedaltrain 2, powered by a Diago Power Station (Except for Micro Synth). Kirlin Patch Cables used throughout (with the exception of one, soon to be replaced!) Looking to add a second DD-3 or a DD-6 to the end after having a play with 2 together last week... amazing :-) Cheers guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussiephoenix Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I've got a question for you all that's been nagging at me... I'm powering all of this using a boss transformer that's connected to the Boss Tuner, and from there, I have DaisyChain-age (2) that feed all the other pedals. a mate has brought it to my attention that the DC out of the Tuner shouldnt feed more than 200mA, and at the moment its feeding a lot more than that as you can see below. what are your thoughts on this?

I'd have thought that lot would be drawing much more than 200mA, what with the Headrush in there. Stuff like digital delays and loopers tends to pull a lot of current. If there's genuinely a 200mA limit on the supply, that means you'll eventually either fry the power supply (or the tuner that's acting as a power-thru connection) or it'll have to drop the voltage supply to compensate. That means everything is getting less than 9V, so things might get noisy or unclear, and (speaking from experience with my Unibass) the switching on the Akai might get unreliable if it's not getting fed the full 9V. IMO, get something like a 1-Spot, which can supply about 1700mA, and daisychain from that, not through the tuner. That's what I do, and it all works nicely.

cheddatom Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 AFAIK It doesn't matter what the pedal says it can output, if your PSU can supply enough current for the board, it doesn't matter if it goes in and out of your Tuner. If you're worried about it there are plenty of daisy chain adaptors which will fit the end of your PSU plug instead of having to come out of a pedal.

Higgie Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I would have thought that you'd be ok on 200ma, except for the Headrush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the 200mA, the headrush alone takes a 160mA Slice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
