Let's see your PEDAL BOARD!

That purple Upper!

Yeah love this one. Got it in a trade with Tom back in the day, will remain in my position till someone rips it from my cold (bright) dead hands haha. Both the ultimate octave fuzz (paired with something else) and a pretty pedal from a great era of ILF (and gear).

got my old board up and running for some jamming..
I made wood blocks that fit inside the moogs so they are now technically one giant multi pedal

My guitar board is still the same. But i have a new bass (sold all others), a new bass amp and a new band (stoner/doom with a bit progressive influence) where i play bass since this year So finally time for a bass board.

I collected over the last 10 years some bass related pedals. Mudfuzz recommendation of the katana super bass fuzz as example - which i really dig. So far super happy with the board. Rips.

[Blackened Soul]

That’s dope!
How/what does the dam/damclone? Sound? I’ve been seeing a few cheap clone lately and am interested but…
Also cool bass! This year started with me getting into musicmans.. I never thought I’d dig the things as much as I do.. but I think their 5 string subusa neck is the best I’ve ever played comfywise… for me though putting in a series/parallel switch is game changer

[Chankgeez]

damclone?

You think univalve'd get a clone?



I wanna know what that hammertone in the middle is.

A jerms brass Master clone. Ugh, a clone WTF

The big blue one on the left is a DAM Ezekiel, offen called Zeke. Sucks ass on guitar but is magic on bass. Germanium, silicon and Lightning rotary Switch for the gain structure, Blend Control and just adds the right portion of „move aside and let the man go through“. Is very good as stacked pedal too. Hence the Last Place in my chain.

I really dig the musicman. Sneaked around it for more than a year. Never regretted that i sold my P and Mustang Bass to afford it.

[Chankgeez]

Well, Jerms has a great ear.

Fucking dumb giant photos.

Anyways, this is what I'm using these days. Some stuff I always use, some stuff I use for certain parts. If you wanna know more feel free to ask.

if you put an "l" before the ".jpeg" it will be "Large", if you put an "m" it will be medium...

well, everything for the FEB arrived and i put the entire 3-board setup together. unfortunately, there were a number of problems that led me to trash the loop board and FEB setups and start over.

first i discovered that the Ernie Ball 6165 volume/pan pedals aren't suited for cross-fading from one looper to the next. there's a very noticeable volume drop as soon as you leave full heel-down position, and it never reaches the same level until you're all the way toe-down. and when i checked things out i discovered that the loop board was horrifically noisy when the compressor was turned off which is a new thing...it'd always been dead quiet before. so the 6165s had to go.

meanwhile, almost as soon as i got the FEB assembled the Demedash T-120, which had gone back to Manitoba for repair after crapping out after being bought used, started exhibiting the same noise problems as in February. needless to say i was not a happy boy. the problem is, there's nothing else out there that sounds like that. so i'm going to order a new one from a dealer with a liberal return policy.

it struck me that with the HUGE volume/pan pedals removed, the loopers and ancillary gear would fit on the smaller (Pedaltrain Jr.) board i used for the FEB and still have plenty of room between the loopers, so i switched boards and power supplies. the big Gator supply fits on the larger FEB (Pedaltrain 1) even after adding back the Attack Decay which i found i missed and a Dunlop Mini X volume/expression pedal used in expression mode, and only requires one splitter to power everything; the smaller Truetone supply tucks under the deck of the loop board and has sufficient outputs. it will be easier to operate the loopers because they're not crammed together to fit the 6165s, and i got a remarkable number of 1-foot to 3-foot cables back from the deal.

at present the back end of the FEB is provisional. i'm not happy with the Keeley Realizer reverb, which makes me happy i didn't buy a Loomer; i want the new Farm Pedals vague reverb in its place. until i can afford to get the new T-120 i have a Seppuku Memory Loss in the delay spot. but my main interest there now is the So High So Low. all i can say about it is that it was worth the wait. i can literally make my guitar sound like it's coming over a phone from 1940.

the main problem i'm back to dealing with is controlling the looper output levels without having to bend over my knees while seated to twiddle the knobs. the volume pedals were supposed to sort that. i may yet have to integrate some sort of small mixer on a stand, but i'm going to try working with the simplified setup and see if it fucks my back up before doing any more reconfiguring.

no, i haven't tested the boards yet. i''ve been busy. i really want to get out of the development phase and into the work phase. then, on the other hand i'm thinking about buying a used Moog Grandmother after i'm done paying for my upcoming vacation.

there were good ideas, but overly complicated.
