Fionn Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Just thought to share a little something I did this evening ... Here's a cool, easy, non-destructive way of marking your "go to" settings. If, like me, your settings are really incrementally fickle, then precise marking isn't a bad thing. I used wee round stickers that are available in stationery shops. I cut the wee stickers into six, pizza style, and stuck them right on. There they are, like little flaming arrows, pointing the way to your own unique squishy/fuzzy/squelchy/stanky fingerprint ...

xgsjx Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 That's a cleverer idea than my marking with a CD pen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyf Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Great idea, one of those "this is so simple and genius, why didn't I think of it" jobbies. And you know what? I'm gonna copy your M82 settings later and get the "Fionn Funk" [size=4] [/size] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ratman Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Great idea! I've been taking photos of my pedals on my phone too, but the stickers are genius. I reckon if you needed to have a couple of settings on a pedal, using different coloured stickers would nail that too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Aye man, totally! The settings that I've marked are the "default" settings for my main (active) bass. I need to set my pedals quite differently for my other (passive) bass. Marking those settings in a different colour would work a treat. It all just makes things that wee bit easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lou24d53 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 (edited) I love my MXR Bass Envelope Filter. I currently play no songs that actually require an envelope filter, but that doesn't matter. Inappropriate levels of 70's porn bass can ruin many a good song!!

Quack-Quack!! [/quote] Thanks, I'll try it. The sensitivity is one of the things I really like with this pedal, you can dig in and quack it, or lay back and be subtle. I'm really liking the Catalinbread SFT that I just bought for the same reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantherairsoft Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Great idea. Here's a review of Pedal Labels I did a while ago - Similar concept, though a little larger than yours: http://sheponbass.co.uk/blog/review-pedal-labels - Still a cool product! Marking a default position is super useful, especially for those who are on-stage knob tweakers and need to fall back to the default position when they have done.
