  1. 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.

  15. The Thomann Chromatic 64 arrived yesterday. I'm used to harmonicas as little things that fit easily in the hand, but this thing is huge and requires two hands at all times. I've yet to take it to a quiet place at work and give it a real blowing. I've read that this model needs to be "blown in" a bit, especially the low range. Selecting a single note to play is tough: I don't have an embouchure and it's likely going to require my tongue.
