EskimoBassist Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 Hey I know that he uses Rocktron midi controllers, but all the same, does anyone have any High Resolution images of it or preferably the actual stomps whihc he uses? If so could you please post them! I think it would be pretty cool to start a "Gear of the Stars" thread or something, hahha how cheesy. Thanks anyway Rich Quote
Muse_Cubed Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 (edited) There isn't a recent one (the most recent is his Absolution one I think). I know for certain: EHX Russian Big Muff Human Gear Animato Distortion Akai Deep Impact (his techs decided to create the world shortage of them by buying shedload ) Digitech Bass Synth Wah Boss DD-3 Boss PS-3 (possibly PS-5) Boss OC-2 Pete Cornish Line Selector I think that's it. He used to have a Line 6 FM4 and Boss OS-2 as well. Not a great picture, but it's the Origin of Symmetry setup. I'm pretty sure he has a Bass Pod too. I'm also adamant that I'm not just copying him.

Maximus Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 He has 2 Line 6 filter modeler pros in his rack too... or he used to, not sure? Quote
Muse_Cubed Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 That's right actually, here's the Absolution rack: Quote
The Funk Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 That's a lot of equipment. Shame I couldn't really hear the bass when I saw them! Quote
Muse_Cubed Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 I've seen them 9 times I'm almost always standing near something pumping out bass which is quite lucky. Quote
EskimoBassist Posted August 13, 2007 Author Posted August 13, 2007 Thanks alot, that does shed alot of light on things. Unfortunately, both times ive seen them i havent been close enough to get a good look at his board, but RockTron controllers must make his life so easy!! Quote
1976fenderhead Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 So he controls the stomp boxes with that Rocktron? How does that work? Quote

How does that work?[/quote] 'Tis a MIDI controller, so im guessing each of his FX pedals are linked through some main base unit seperately and then the RockTron unit will control at the tap of a switch the combination of whihc FX are on at each time. www.rocktron.com Hope that helps! Wow this thread is quite popular isnt it!! Quote
Muppet Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 Speak to Wizbat - he's done something very similar with his pedal board. Quote
bassboy115 Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 i know he uses a line 6 pod and he also uses a sculpture sound switchblade... I dont know what it does though! Quote
G-bitch Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 (edited) Sound Sculpture Switchblade - pretty much the most flexible and comprehensive switching device available (without re-mortgaging anyway) - 16 sends/returns with variable gain and also amp switching into the bargain. Midi controlled and a pretty much infinite number of routing options i.e. want pedals 3 12 and 15 all on? Ok done, what order do you want them in the signal path though? 15, 3, 12 please! Then another patch, I want 12, 3, 15 in series all parrallel with loop 2 whilst you also switch channels on my amp. Done, sir. Only worth the investment for a pro or extreme - like far, far worse than Tayste or Dood - gear whore who needs to combine different amps, pre's, rackmount fx, stomp boxes etc. in any configuration imaginable.

Wooh! I got a name check! COOOEL! ;o) - You are quite correct though... I personally really couldnt be dealing with piles of pedals and controllers all over the floor. I much prefer my POD xt rack and the TC GForce. Everything gets done in a rack and controlled by a single MIDI footboard with CC outboard if necessary. Just my preference though. Not saying it is right.. just uber-tidy for me. Quote

parker_muse Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 Its a combination of Midi controllers (the rocktron) and millions of roadies tweaking knobs! MY friend got backstage and saw all them running around madly Quote

I'd be amazed if not. It's an amazing bit of kit; our guitarist had the 16GL until the lockup got broken into....... I searched online for this for ages as it's such a distinctive piece of kit but to no avail. Quote

parker_muse Posted August 26, 2007 Posted August 26, 2007 (edited) I could hear nothing but the bass! But now, being bassists, isn't that what we pick up on ey? Edited August 26, 2007 by parker_muse Quote

parker_muse Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 Almost certainly the deep impact. And possible a bit of big muff mixed into the chain Quote
amj Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 (edited) Sounds like he's using the Animato there as well. Edited September 2, 2007 by amj Quote
