That WoundedPaw is a beast btw. I wonder how it compares to the Vfe klein Bottle that I'm getting...

Then if the ls2 isn't enough for you, the next option is to get someone like COG or BrightOnion to do you a custom loop pedal. 

Might actually be worth installing with the ability to actually edit patches...

For metering I was thinking none/single led/advanced (can't think of a better word, to include multiple LEDs or VU etc.)

At controls it has.

Maybe even as serrate category for parallel compression.

What kind of metering it has.

Valve/ digital/ analogue. (/valve for just gain).

I used to use a sansamp model on my zoom multifx, which I liked for the added mids controls. I now use a DHA VT1-PRO. Such a great preamp. It's joined my ChaseBliss Warped Vinyl as pedals that will never leave my board.

I use them both in the delay loop - I've been stacking intervals using a volume pedal into a short modulated delay into a long clean delay. The effect is something like Twin Peaks or Wolfgang Voigt. I cab then play melodies over the top. The second looper gives me the option of spreading the workload so I can erase in a different order to which I added - allowing a chord change to develop - or copy from one loop to another along with a looped rhythm (almost impossible with a single looper if you are using a volume pedal). The PS6 gives me the option of stacking over several octaves too. I'm still getting the hang of it, but t sounds pretty huge. The advantage of having them inside the loop is that I can kill the whole thing with one tap.

Interesting. Makes me want a third looper to go along with my start of chain one.

Glad to see the recent increase of boards with bitcrushers on them =].

One thing I'm curious about though, how are people using the multiple loopers? I use one at the beginning and end of chain (record short loop on first looper, play about with effects and capture on second looper), but these seam to be setup next to eachother?

I really wish the toneprint app had the full editor, maybe then I'd actually use the thing.

I have a DHA VT1-PRO that I use to run into either the PA, or the FX return of whatever amp I'm using. Not quite an frfr setup, but allows me to keep more of 'my sound' with whatever setup I plug in to.

If you're willing to change power supply, the gigrig system lets you cut its cables to length.

Never heard of any other power cables you can change the length of. Maybe a market for someone to bring out some kind of crimping based system?

I don't really understand how bass to CV/midi is so far behind digital octave pedals. I would have thought that the octave pedals would have had to track the notes to create the octave, but I guess they use some other trickery?

Definitely the latter!

Definitely.

I have the mooer and the Frantabit, and they aren't even in the same league. The Frantabit just sounds so much better (imo YMMV etc). 

Other bitcrushers I do have my eye on are the WMD Geiger Counter Pro, and the Meris Ottobit.

All of this thread about these beautifully crafted pedals is justifyed..in its own way'  An always on pedal is for myself...is Compression' or an Exciter of some kind..i.e  Aural Expander....But definately not chorus.                                 I use a TC electronic Dreamscape pedal for those type of " fast vibrato' chorus'  effects.. Their " Toneprints" actually  which have superb ease of use sound's & i also use them on a fretless..Subtley" of course(  Not too much of anything)     Now my point about always on' is this...when the music doesnt require that saturated sound...meaning Lush' turn it off!!!!  for as we know  the 1980s bass sounds were swimming in chorus' & to my ears it can become too nasal..a sound'  repetitive.. tune to tune'  but if thats your bag' use it!!                                 I personally dont see that sound continuously in a function band situation' or even a motown or stax one. But the Chase Bliss are superb' without reservation especially the warped vinyl...Now if i can just find a gorgeous Warped Woman to buy me One!!😉.

I do use mine quite subtly, rate synced to 1/4, mix and depth both pretty low, first half sine, second triangle shifted over to the right.

Ive found these pedals most alluring...but like most all pedals ive owned' ive end up using them on One to Three settings only.... & most definately dont start messing with them mid-tune"...So for myself @ this price range" these are luxury items only!!!! Im sure they are great....But just too expensive.

Well I use my warped vinyl in an always on, set and forget kind of way. The beauty is that it allowed me to set it just how I wanted it. Also, I've never played a nicer sounding chorus, whenever I play without it I sound all static.

It's become a key part of 'my sound', so for me it's worth the money. Even if buying a pedal with this much flexibility for just one setting might be a bit overkill.

Quite a few digital ones will, analogue won't. They will generally advitise if they do.

I've got a Warped Vinyl (MK2) that I don't see ever leaving my board. I had a gravitas and wombtone, but moved those on. They've brilliant pedals, but I think I just never ended up using them.

If I where to go pedalless but still wanted a RAT I'd just mod one into a bass.

I would actually guess that the FX knob is threshold not makeup gain.

Here's some more reading on how/why to compressor (and the obligatory ovnilab link): http://www.ovnilab.com/faq.shtml

There's always the Gigrig SupaNova. Works with my VT1-pro.

Another option is to get a looper pedal, as most of those come with built in drum patterns.

King Harvest or Thin Lizzy?

The mooer arrived this morning - I’ve had the briefest of plays with it, at the end of the signal chain - which includes the Future Attack and the Poly Mod Pro in front, with the FCB doing midi control on synth mix on the FI and frequency on the PolyMod Pro with a basic envelope follower on. 

After the tinkering, I can report that;

1. The switch to select instruments is best left at “guitar” - it’s just a filter and extracts all treble on the bass setting, with the synth being somewhere in the middle. 

2. The synth sound I was using definitely worked best with a fairly narrow range on the “bit” dial - but the sounds are exactly what I was looking for, excellent

3. The way the tone reacts to the expression pedals for both the FI synth mix and frequency on the PolyMod is AMAZING!!!

I’ll try to post some video later - but it looks like this was well worth doing. I’ve actually got another Boss EV-5 for the PolyMod Pro as the expression pedal input has a lot more scope (LFO speed, and more) than the MIDI mappable continuous controllers. There’s like 13 mapping for expression, onto a huge range of different parameters in the filter. 

I started my pedalboard after years of using a Podxt (which I do still use) because I had a Boss SYB-5 and the OC-2 octaver lying around for years, and wanted to use them again. The journey to this point has been a revelation - so much tweakability; and some patch-based capability too, which I really do like in an effects rig. 

I think the bit and sample knowns are mislabeled, big knob is samplerate, small is bits. 

And mooer is definitely acts quite differently depending on what you put into I compared to the Frantabit.
