    [quote name='redd' timestamp='1343753769' post='1754685'] I'll check out that power supply, you think that the voodoo labs one is a no go? [/quote] Yeah it won't put out enough mA from the 12V output for your Super Synth - looks like the T-Rex will do though by a country mile, and there's plenty room for expansion if you decide you want a few more units. I know for a fact your Boss tuner will be fine and I've checked for your Source Audio pedals, which happily sit within the available power outputs from the 9v outputs, so with that you'd be good to go.

    ^ what he said. As far as a pedal board goes, how much space do you think you're going to need to grow? Best to be realistic about it now than having to quickly rehome them when you grab one or two more. You should check out: [url="http://pedaltrain.com/"]http://pedaltrain.com/[/url] I've got the Junior with a soft case and PT-2 with a hard case. I think you'd be able to fit them all on a Junior, but you can check to see here: [url="http://pedalboardplanner.com/"]http://pedalboardplanner.com/[/url] Alternatively, check out [url="http://www.diago.co.uk/"]http://www.diago.co.uk/[/url] I had a Tourman for ages (when I had a serious pedal addiction) and it served me well. The advantage of the pedaltrain over this however of course is that you can route your cables in between the metal bars to make it all neat and get your pedals closer together. You can also mount a power supply underneath. As for power supplies there are lots of great ones out there but I will firstly recommend the Diago Power Station ([url="http://www.diago.co.uk/pedal-power/diago-powerstation.html"]http://www.diago.co....werstation.html[/url]) Lots of spare power on tap (3000mA!) if you do decide to expand and they carry a whole load of adapters should you need to deviate from the standard 9v dc -ve tip. I've used one for years - never had a single problem. The Super Synth is 12v DC however I see (what a pesky little bugger). Unfortunately therefore you'll still have to power that from it's dedicated charger, it's mA draw is too high for the Voodoo Labs power system which incorporates 12v power, unless if you want to use the pricey GigRig system (which will cost £50 just for the right 12v adapter! [url="http://www.effectpowersupplies.com/supanova-9-12v-adaptor-1153-p.asp"]http://www.effectpowersupplies.com/supanova-9-12v-adaptor-1153-p.asp[/url]. ) [b]EDIT: [url="http://www.musicroom.com/se/id_no/0707667/details.html?kbid=1582"]http://www.musicroom.com/se/id_no/0707667/details.html?kbid=1582[/url] CHECK THIS BADBOY OUT - it will happily power all your pedals and fit under a pedaltrain, job done.[/b] I hope that's some help mate, sorry to hear that you didn't get on with the Korg G5. Just shout if you want any more information.
  3. [quote name='Gareth Hughes' timestamp='1342625325' post='1738134'] I use a Korg Pandora PX3B jobby I bought years ago in London for way too much. Probably a better, and cheaper, updated version available by now. Decent sound, eq is grand and editable on each patch. Drum presets are cheesy but grand for practicing. Handy feature is the 'Phrase' function which lets you create a loop of whatever audio comes thru the Aux input. Oh, and it has an Aux input too [/quote] Yep, same here (except I have the next model up, the PX4B). Great piece of kit and very affordable.
  4. It's shaping up really nicely, I see you're clamouring to trade your Octolooper for an envelope filter so I reckon we'll see one of them being put on at some point. Although having said that you did shift your Groove Regulator (so perhaps that rules out getting a Wonderlove?) and with your custom Xero I don't see you getting a Xero Deluxe and the 442 clone has gone aswell - I mean I guess the WMD covers all this and a lot more for you?
  5. The Dunlop 105Q is a very popular wah pedal and can be had nice and cheap on this forum. I had on for years and loved it - it gets a bad rep from some around here but I really would take the negativity with a pinch of salt. It's a great wah, isn't too expensive, built like the proverbial and is very tweakable. My personal choice over the Ibanez Weeping Demon and the Morley Bass Wah.
  6. [quote name='chilli' timestamp='1343468362' post='1751134'] To This.. (still have the source audio dual expression pedal and HH and no pedal board ). [/quote] Both TAFMs are gone!
  7. [quote name='Marsy' timestamp='1342736038' post='1740365'] No bites guys? Maybe I should add a pic.. ? Ha ha [/quote] A few decent quality pictures would be great, as would a little information about yourself such as your location. As you can appreciate it's hard to buy something from someone on the internet if they appear anonymous!
  8. [quote name='Rammstein2012' timestamp='1343079518' post='1745049'] Has anyone used one of these, maybe for a while? i'm a bit concerned that over time, the comprrssion springs on the barrel of the jack would force the internal parts of the guitars jack socket (or pedal jack socket) just that bit too far, so that if used with a normal lead it would be a bit loose giving a bit of a bad connection. I got given one of these leads and its brand new, un opened. i just dont want to use something that could over time, cause problems. [/quote] I've used these such cables for about 7 years with no problems at all, so you can take that as a recommendation of sorts.
  9. [quote name='lxxwj' timestamp='1343075016' post='1744945'] So many fuzzes on that one board then! [/quote] Well I guess three could be seen as a little excessive, using the Orbit more for it's Ring Modulator side though and the Oxide more for it's gating, so they've all got a spot. Wouldn't mind a Rat variant like a Fuzzrocious Rat Tail though...
  10. [quote name='tayste_2000' timestamp='1343078063' post='1745003'] Let me know when that M9 comes up for sale if it's in your binge *edit* I'll take the PT-2 as well [/quote] HAHA no they are both firmly part of the contingent which SURVIVED or was a product of the overhaul. In fact the M9 is the main reason why I sold nearly all of my pedals.
  11. [quote name='lxxwj' timestamp='1343073230' post='1744898'] May I ask, what's the blue box with all the knobs? From what I know though, looks like my dream electronica board! Except maybe for the boss octaver. Good choices though! Iron Ether is truly 'the best.' Edit: Also, what's the purple box? I'm guessing it's extra expression parameters, but for what..? [/quote] 10 points to Phil.i.stein, tis indeed a TAFM! As for the Boss OC-3 - it's a weird one. I convinced myself that digital octaving was [i]bad[/i] and that I should be more of a [s]snob[/s] purist and get me a decent analog octaver, so I bought an Aguilar Octamizer off this forum... and for some reason I just didn't get on with it at all! I don't know why but I just really preferred the OC-3 in comparison, and if it ain't broke... The purple box is a Nose double expression control for the Line 6 M9/13. It's great if you only want to make small adjustments and don't need a proper expression pedal.
  12. ODD is an anagram of DOD. How wonderful.
  13. [quote name='woodyratm' timestamp='1342975386' post='1743329'] Is this the one with the weird dubstepesque at the end? [/quote] Unfortunately yes, I think. I'm sure it will all sit much better within the final album. Their Olympic single is growing on me now too.
  14. This is what I was playing around with earlier last week. Firstly just a collection of everything I've got to hand at the moment, after a massive sell/buy/trade binge, on a PT-2: [IMG]http://i1146.photobucket.com/albums/o522/EskimoRich/IMG-20120716-00017.jpg[/IMG] And what I put together quickly for a jam (the first in many, many months) on a PT-Jr: [IMG]http://i1146.photobucket.com/albums/o522/EskimoRich/IMG-20120716-00019.jpg[/IMG] Apologies for terrible image quality.
  15. [quote name='chilli' timestamp='1342732343' post='1740284'] 3 was defo too many fuzz's for me, guess that ranks me as soft haha [/quote] I've got three on my board right now! A TAFM, an Oxide and an Orbit. Wouldn't mind an old Russian Muff or a good Wren & Cuff clone too though...
  16. Free bump, if I didn't already have one I'd be all over this like a tramp on chips!
  17. DOOOO IT. Do it! They are brilliant filters, love mine.
  18. [quote name='woodyratm' timestamp='1342006555' post='1727826'] Small and will do everything i need. [/quote] If I added a compressor and a pre/di that would suit me just fine too! Nice selection of effects there.
  19. You may find this helpful: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/179518-line-6-m-series-expression-control-of-beat-divisions/"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/179518-line-6-m-series-expression-control-of-beat-divisions/[/url]
  20. Aside from a few glaring errors (as already spotted!) it's not a bad article. It's interesting to see it broken down like this.
  21. [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1340733267' post='1708886'] [url="http://uk.yamaha.com/en/products/musical-instruments/guitars-basses/el-guitars/pacifica/?mode=series#tab=product_lineup"]Yamaha Pacifica[/url] [/quote] I was glad to see that the first reply was also the right answer brilliant guitars for such little money!
  22. Are they actually any good though? First thoughts around the internet held them to be a bit of a disappointment.
  23. [quote name='Pollinator95' timestamp='1340884597' post='1710970'] Have you got any links to the GE-B7? Never heard of it. [/quote] Here's a poor google translation of an Italian web page with a few photos. Seem very similar to the GEB-7: [url="http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?act=url&hl=en&ie=UTF8&prev=_t&rurl=translate.google.com&sl=auto&tl=en&twu=1&u=http://www.mercatinomusicale.com/mm/a_boss-ge-7b-geb-7-equalizzatore-x-basso-made-in-japan-90-perfetto-scatola_id2576076.html&usg=ALkJrhg_jvifdcj7uCnF4yir6FJstahiLw"]http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?act=url&hl=en&ie=UTF8&prev=_t&rurl=translate.google.com&sl=auto&tl=en&twu=1&u=http://www.mercatinomusicale.com/mm/a_boss-ge-7b-geb-7-equalizzatore-x-basso-made-in-japan-90-perfetto-scatola_id2576076.html&usg=ALkJrhg_jvifdcj7uCnF4yir6FJstahiLw[/url]
  24. I used the newer version for a few years, no complaints from me at all. The newer version is definitely more readily available so you could probably snap one up cheap on here.
  25. Can you be a little bit more specific please, what do you mean by it "has hardly any effect"?
