Hey guys, Anyone used their modular setup before? i'm toying with the idea of getting the generator and 2 distributors. Would love to just use a single plug for everything! Also saves me needing to rewire my plug everytime I choose to change the location of the power supply (or in todays case - removing it to sell the board). Can it power stuff like the DHA pedals? And my Deep Impact? I dont know current for it just now - but with 5000mA to play with I'd assume it would (if the jack fits) Looking to power:-[list] [*]Akai Deep Impact (9v) [*]Iron Ether Oxide (9v) [*]Iron Ether Xenograph (9v) [*]SFX loop (9v) [*]SFX Blue Dragon (9v) [*]CoPilot Dubscope (9v?) [*]Boss OC2 (9v) [*]Source Audio BEF (9v) [*]Boss TU2 (9v) [*]Possibly DHA VT2 thingy - (Lord knows..) [/list] Likely to work? Or should i just live with a second cable? Maybe go for TRex fuel tank or the voodoo labs one? It'll be underneath a PT-Pro so hidden out of sight. Thoughts anyone? Dave

[quote name='lxxwj' timestamp='1330985521' post='1565980'] Oh, if only I didn't need a decent amp so I could buy meself a Xero/Oxide combo.. [/quote] My amp plans are put on hold for the next 6 months or so. Unless some kind sole wants to buy my power amp/speakers/pt2 hahaha

I have to update this:- I was fancying a Xenograph - so emailed Taylor tonight. 2 mins later I had an email back from him. Absolutely amazing service! He answered everything I asked and has been a total gent! I now have a toy on the way.

[quote name='slazman' timestamp='1330864876' post='1563906'] Reviving an old thread here ... trying to get close as possible to the sound as this number is all about the effect (as many Muse basslines are). Having viewed threads here and on Talkbass, watched many YouTube clips I am guessing either a Digitech Synth Wah or EHX Bassballs is required. I have never ventured into the world of the envelope filter so any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Note I cannot afford an Akai Deep Impact even if I wanted to look for one! [/quote] Heh was gonna say the deep impact does it amazingly.. You know theres 1 for sale here: £400? Totally should rock one

I went to an audition for a covers band:- they sent me the set (which had about 100 songs on it) - didn't say which to learn... and when I suggest a few I'd learned (varying styles etc) I was told "Ah we've not done that one for ages" I assume I didn't get it!

[quote name='woodyratm' timestamp='1330955601' post='1565270'] I had the same thing - except I booked with Parcel2go (Still with UPS though). Were meant to collect on Friday but I'm still waiting! Thankfully its being collected from my office. [/quote] Thankfully mine was just collected.

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1330938728' post='1564868'] I think it depends what you're looking for. The singer and I are researching this quite a lot at the moment. Generic things we've picked up (although this is with metal). - Look confident, move with the music in general - Look at the crowd / look around - Adopt a wider stance than normal (was very odd to me too begin with but actually feel LESS of a pillock than before - Interact with the environment, rest on monitors etc - Interact with the rest of the band, move over to where the guitarist is playing, go rock out with the singer - Know when to blend into the background so that you're not all competing for attention at once - When walking across a stage (assuming your stage IS big enough to walk on) try to walk in time with the music Would love for others to add to this list [/quote] This is a good one. I tend to have a stage persona. Eg - I'm fairly quiet offstage but when I get up there, I just go wild. Also - we as musicians are the paid (normally) entertainment, got to actually entertain! I hate seeing bands just standing on stage. No movement etc - doesnt even look like the guys on stage are happy to be there!

Hmm thought about a custom? SFX would be a good shout.

I like the sound of the IE. May see about that. And a small exp pedal.

[quote name='EskimoBassist' timestamp='1330782374' post='1562932'] It sounds like a low pass filter after Octave and Fuzz to me, with the range starting from below what even sounds to be audible! [/quote] Would the xenograph do it you think? Or any other suggestion?

I was REALLY hoping you'd say it was rubbish

[quote name='pantherairsoft' timestamp='1330775991' post='1562783'] Not sure I can stomach listening to Muse twice in one week but I'll try and have another listen later... [/quote] Think it's the 3:10 mark. just basic low pass filter i think?

[quote name='pantherairsoft' timestamp='1330735890' post='1562498'] The main riff? Sounds like octave - gated fuzz - wet sounding envelope filter. 'Typical' synth tone as it were. [/quote] Theres a filter sweep in the mid part

[quote name='pantherairsoft' timestamp='1330734281' post='1562484'] What do you want it for? Envelope/Auto Wah duties? There are so many now it's hard to choose. I'm Still very happy with my Groove regulator. The MXR was good if not a little too wet for me. I picked up an old Tone Factor 442 Analogue Filter and that sounds awesome after fuzz! If you want an LPF and the Moog is too big it's got to be the Iron Ether - but Tonally it's TOTALLY different as a resonant filter. [/quote] You heard the muse song uprising? Theres a filter part in that which would work with an idea i have!
