Aclam XS1 pedal board arrived this morning, needs a tweak (longer power lead from Alix to DGHL so I can swap the DGHL to the right of the Alix) but really liking the Velcro free clamp system, very tidy. All I need to do, once the pedal positions are finalised on the board, is find a way to mount the board on a stand, here it's just resting on a mic stand shelf.

 

... love the fact you can adjust without bending down, clattering some part of your bass in the process and tweaking your back haha!!!

... I've been looking at my 'collection' of late and turning away from them also. I even thought of doing the same and packing them up and see what I'd want to actually use! However I also would probably regret selling anything as it'd give me less options in the future, but you get overwhelmed by having the options ... and the cycle continues 🤔😐😁!!

Waiting for a used Morningstar MC3 to show up for sale. Also not sure if I should go solderless or man up and get some SP400s. 😁

... could I ask please what the signal chain will be?

Haha! Interesting, I considered the Xpand1 and I love a single line thing tbh, but I will ask how’s the Velcro behaving on the layer that slides in, and have to research on space for a PSU… I do like the concept though!

... the velcro acts fine when sliding in and out. There is a bit of a step between the two layers, but you can just space the pedals to compensate for it, or double up the velcro on one side of a pedal if you need to go over the join.

I also prefer the single rail boards I think, and the XPND works really well in that department. The bag is expensive for what it is, so you could consider getting a Pedaltrain Nano Max, keeping the bag and selling the board to get a decent bag for less ha ha!!

For a PSU the Cioks DC 7 I think just squeezes under there (check you tube for what it looks like). I'm currently using a daisy chain with mini pedals and for a quick pedal change around if needed it's great. 

... what's the Omnicabsim clone like folks? If there was a pedal I wouldn't mind trying to build it'd be one of those!

cheers for the reply, I'll contact Empress as the signal isn't hot tbh. May be a fault in the unit!!

The Eventide is going on a separate vocals board so there’s still a couple of spots for pedals here….

... how do you find the Empress compressor? I've one and seem to be able to get a pretty decent distortion/overdrive sound when I have both the Attack and Release controls fully counter clockwise. Really not sure it it's supposed to do that though ...

Bargain!!

yeah, it's a cracker for the brass isn't it 👍

+ 1 for small board setups. I'm planning a big home build board and starting to second guess myself on it now ha ha!!

.

Great sounding thing it is indeed. Puts the price of some pedals into perspective tbh lol!!

Joe Hubbard has a Functional Harmony book that is pretty interesting https://www.joehubbardbass.com/functional-harmonic-concepts/

My small pedalboard.

 

The Cioks doesn't fit under the pedalboard and I am trying to find a solution. My MXR Poly Blue is waiting its room in the FX loop. 

My Ashdown OriginAL and Markbass Vintage Pre are used sporadically when I have to use a lot of synth effects.

... nice Cioks SOL power supply. I didn't know they had brought this one out.

... the Aguilar Filter Twin used can be got for around £100 and has the benefit of both an up and down sweep with being able to control the speed of each independently. You can get some very musical sounds with it. I've also got an MXR Bass Envelope filter, more controls on this one but only sweeps in one direction.

... another one heading this way 👍

... also purchased Alan's Darkglass Element. Again good and clear communication and item received in good time and in good condition. Thanks again 👍

Any Warwick with a Broadneck speck will have adjustable string spacing 18 mm to 20 mm.

... keep us posted on the thread how you find the Mothership 2. On one play-a-around with it I actually got some Space Invader game sounds from when I was a kid in the 80's lol!!

I managed to get Alan's Sadowsky SB2 preamp for a very fair price. I said that snail mail would be fine and contributed a few £ towards that, however he posted in Special Delivery at more than double the amount I contributed 👍. The item arrived in perfect condition and was exactly as described. Very good comms throughout and a pleasure doing business. A credit to the BC community for sure. Peace.

I'll take it please.
