Cheeky little board I've put together for a gig this Saturday night..
Basically removed the Octron2 and plonked in the Anadime Chorus. Also using the SupaTone for a few tunes now..Sounding super! bring on Saturday..

'The fridge killer'

That IS a monster of a cab!

Nice!

I haven't played any other than my '57 Fullerton RI so can't give much of a comparison.
What I would say is my Fullerton has a very shallow neck profile unlike anything I've ever seen on another P. It also has 'sharp' edges on the fretboard rather than a smoothed 'rounded' fretboard edge. I guess this is because they were made to be as true to the originals as possible.

Offers?

J, I do fancy a fine J bass! Particularly your fine J bass..
Just don't have the $$$ to top it up! = (

Buuump

Thanks for your help guys!

The synth arrived today and I've had a little go on it through a reverb tank and it sounded great!

Gonna take it to the rehearsal room this week and smash it through the pedalboard = )

Cheers!

Upwardly ^^^

Bumpyy

Fantastic basses for the $$$ these!

So we're saying just do it?! Ha ha I'm still a bit scared to be honest!

I messaged Taylor regarding the iron ether and this is what he said...



Hi Stephen, there's no danger of damaging the pedal, but the output of the synth is probably loud enough to overdrive the Nimbus's input. From some internet pics it does appear that the Quartet has an output volume slider so you should be able to get the levels right by using that to attenuate before the pedals. The high and low outs are probably referring to output impedance rather than high/low amplitude, so which you use probably won't matter to the Nimbus (though different impedances may affect the way your distortion pedals sound). Hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks,
Taylor


What a helpful guy! = )


Thanks again,
Stephen

Looks great Michael, enjoy your new bass !

Thanks a lot for your help guys! It's much appreciated..

I should probably add, I damaged my Iron Ether - Nimbus last year just experimenting with a (digital) roland - Juno D and had to send it to Taylor in the USA for repair.

I think I'll shoot Taylor an email and ask his opinion on the nimbus. The rest like my fuzzes and maxon analog delay I think I'll just give them a go if no one advises otherwise..
Also I have a Foxrox - Octron 2, I wonder if i can play with that one maybe.. Again it's an analog pedal.

Regarding the output impedance of the synth, there are two outputs on the back.. I will attach some info regarding these below..

Arp - Quartet:
In the back you find the attached power cable and the mains on/off switch.
And of cause an output: one labeled "high", the other labeled "low". The later is for mic inputs. The higher output is for line level inputs of mixers and amps. Both of these are 1/4" (6.3 mm) sockets.

Hey tractor,

Thanks for your input.
That's kind of what I was expecting..
I'd need to be sure before I experiment coz I can't afford to fry and pedals that's for sure!

I would like to try out a few fuzz pedals, just see how they sound.. I'd also really like to stick a reverb on but I'm very wary about my iron ether - Nimbus taking the synths input..

How about using the SVT as an amp, no issues there??

Thanks again

Hey guys,

Just as the title suggests really.
Yesterday I bought an old synth (ARP Quartet) and I would like to be able to use my pedalboard to further enhance its sounds (mainly fuzz, maybe some modulation).

I am wondering, is this a good or bad idea? does it pose a danger to either my pedals or the synth?

Many thanks in advance,
Stephen

Uppp

Cheers Cyrene,

It sure is a great sounding bass..
Fullertons just are.. If only it was a jazz!
Someone trade this for a Fullerton jazz??

Just worked out how to upload more pics to 'global upload quota' thingy

Finally got some nice pics, I'll upload the rest this evening = )
