I had another look at my Little Board, after my previous post here, and basically redid it entirely. I wasn't quite happy with the Harley Benton PowerPlant Tuner before I managed to damage it, and it wasn't quite right afterwards. So I got a better PSU with all-isolated outputs and tried again:
- Peterson StroboStomp Mini tuner - still the best tuner I've ever owned
- Orange KongPressor is back, because I had the space, and with a doubler cable it's getting 18V.
- Boss OC-5. I still have the MXR Bass Octave Deluxe, on my big board this time. The OC-5 is here because I'm experimenting with octave up for a pseudo 8-string tone, with some nice results so far. It's not a "hi-fi" octave up in isolation, but it blends well with direct tone.
- Mosky Silver Horse dual mode "Klone": the effect I want from it seems to change every time I use it, which is not the pedal's fault. It can give just a clean boost, a little more hair, or quite a bit of grind with the treble down to tame the fizz.
- JHS 3 Series Phaser: I had a problem with the switch last year that mysteriously fixed itself: if it goes again, I have a couple of dead pedals that can donate a switch. It's definitely a keeper for the sound quality.
- Ly-Rock "Simplifier" clone. I know, should have gotten the original DSM&H Simplifier, and I am considering the new Sub-Atomic pedal version. The cab sim is subtle but with some careful listening it does make a difference.
The PSU is a mains-powered Harley Benton PowerPlant Junior, on sale at a very nice price. It has 5 isolated outputs, but you can see six pedals and the KongPressor is using two outputs for 18V. So I did have to use a splitter, which is not ideal. I got a little hum when using that with the Phaser, so the splitter now powers the tuner, the Klone and the preamp. There's still a very slight hum with the tuner in tuner/mute mode, but none in normal operation.
