Setup of the day thread?

[Dandolin]

fantastic board

definitely digging the frame drum on a stand too

[qersty]

Love that pancake drum!

How is that mesa compared to the HK ones you had before? Speaking of high gain silly tube pedals: Have you tried out the seymour duncan ones? Seems to be the same niche of real tube pres in a pedal

[Blackened Soul]

The mesa sounds more like a amp, where the H&K sounds more like a OD pedal [a good one but still pedally], also the K&H not having a bypass was annoying.. Really the H&K v1 tubman is a lot better pedal than the big one, it's just annoying to change settings... I wouldn't put up with any of this if I was't using piezo equipped instruments No, I never tried any of the Duncans.. The idea of not being able to replace the tubes on the 90's/2000s ones turned me off on their stuff as things go wrong sometimes... are they making a unit with a normal tube?

[qersty]

no i think they quit making them. But like desoldering a tube shouldnt be that bothersom, right? since its just a preamp you shouldnt have to change them often

[Blackened Soul]

But... I like to get out my big bucket of tubes and try a bunch to see what I like best every time I buy tube gear...

How's that Tomkat fuzz?

[Blackened Soul]

no, I haz bucket!

Immerse before dirt is always fabulous.
I have so many pedals, I forgot about this phaser (how could I considering it's bigger than a moogerfooger?! ), it's phenomenal.

How's that Tomkat fuzz?

Apologies - I missed this! Well, it's a lot of fun, I never tried a Sam Ash Fuzz-stainer clone (or original) before, so when I had an opportunity to pick one up cheap I went for it.
Only tried it on bass so far. Love the way the tone knob brings in loads of cool flavours - gets close to known territories: muff-esque for sure albeit never as heavy, some say tonebender-esque too but the Tomkat Bender does that much better. I like how I can get a lot of bite even a low level. There is an internal trimpot set to minimal gating, I need to play with it to see how it impacts the sound. Early days, but so far I like it a lot.

[Dandolin]

love the flood settings on the Modmax - sold mine to help pay for my wedding ; later picked up the filter. Still kicking myself for not jumping on the last Ring Mod that became available...that is an awesome signal chain.

[cosmicevan]

Switched the power around and added in the Polarized Flutter. This thing is a monster of possibilities. Just updated Cloudy too so now have some presets to jump to!!!

[Paul_C]

^^^^^

I think that deserves a WOW!

[Glenouille]

Been throwing the expressionator at every pedal that can take expression to see what happens and this funky spatio-glitch combo was ace. The dirt pedal in the Meatball fx loop was actually totally unnecessary. Sometimes less is more...

[Dandolin]

pretty colors - love how large and in charge that Meatball is!

[Glenouille]

Thanks buddy! I love the Meatball, but it is one of these pedals where small changes have a huge influence on the sound - I always end up super annoyed.



Shitty pic but fun times! Wanted to do this for a while but couldn't be arsed to plug in 30+ cables to sync 3 pedz.

• splitting signal in 2 using the Transmutron,
• signal 1 going to SL-20
• signal 2 going to EHX Hog
• split again into 2 from the Hog: Dry OUT going to Gravitas and Main Output going to Goatkeeper
• MIDIPal used as main clock and giving BPM to Kenton Thru-5 via MIDI
• SL-20 taking it straight via MIDI cable
• Gravitas taking it via Empress Midibox
• Goatkeeper taking via Boss DB-90
• EHX 8-Step taking it straight via MIDI cable and using a different subdivision to arpeggiate the HOG
• all 3 signals go into the Behringer MX400 and the output goes into the Cabzeus mono.
