Cheers. :)

I'm still trying to work out how I can make something similar to a whammy bar but rather than being connected to the bridge, connected to another pot. Don't know if it is possible though.

a small light door handle perhaps ? would look amusing, but could work.. :D

It's fitting it that would be the tricky bit. The pot would probably be sideways in the body & have a spindle on it. The "arm" would then need some sort of pinion with a spring & a cord to go round the spindle (working in a similar way to an expression pedal).

I was thinking of getting hold of a guitar controller off the "rock band" game to see how it works & if I could make something similar. Whether I actually ever do that is another thing all together! :yarr:

Guys - Could use some assistance - Since I've streamlined my fx now I have an insane amount of free space on my board (hence why it's now for sale!)

Any sugestions on a pedalboard which would accomidate the below?

Boss TU 2
Boss OC2
Iron Ether Oxide
Source Audio Multiwave Distortion
Source Audio BEF
Iron Ether Xenograph
Moog EP2
Behringer Bass EQ

Being powered with a Diago Powerstation.

Would like something small and easy to carry. Ta

I think with the Moog and SA Distortion, you'd be looking at a PT-2 maybe?

Try [url="http://www.pedalboardplanner.com/"]http://www.pedalboardplanner.com/[/url]. Its not all that accurate but it can get you in the right ball park.

Might fit on a Diago Showman? Definitely a PT-2, perhaps even a PT-1.
[/quote]

This implies the Showman is smaller than the PT2... but it's actually bigger... So if it'll fit on a PT2 then it will definitely fit on the Showman!

To be honest I had no idea how big a Showman is (other than being larger than a Gigman and smaller than a Tourman) having only owned a Tourman. Second hand though, a PT-2 with a hardcase seems around the same price as a new Showman.
[/quote]

Yeah, I'd take the showman as it's larger and lighter (than the PT hardcase) BUT, no doubt about it that the PT is the better made and more robust!

As I'm selling my GT10b, this is how I'm having a go of my pedals for the moment - Gonna see how it goes, only effect I am missing that I use is a Slicer for the mo...

Yeah it is nice for droney stuff, or just filling out a sound under a bassline. think I'm gonna flog it though cos you can do similar with the hold setting on the DD-6

The freeze pedals get loads more useful once you put them in a loop. I regularly set mine droning a chord or double-stop up the dusty end and then when the guitarist dives into a solo just bring it back in without stopping the bass part.

The trick is finding one chord or note that will fit with everything else...

Do you play to a metronome? If I set the murf to a pattern & we start off in time with it & then turn it off for something like a verse, when I bring it back in the tempo is out.

Not at all - the freeze won't do looping of phrases, but generates drones based on your input signal - a bit like this:

Ahh, I see. That could come in handy.

That actually looks brilliant, and pretty damn robust. Loving the logo design on the t shirt too.

Will see what I can do at the weekend/next week when I get to the studio!

Its a clone of a GGG-tuned/civil war muff Pi with extra high gain, mid tone control, 3 different clipping options and the gate. YUM!

AHhhhhh that looks so good. I REAAALLLLY want a Rat Tail but I just can't afford importing one brand new.

International shipping is $38. I wasn't charged anything for duty/tax etc. which surprised me as Parcel Force delivered it and they usually stamp a stupid handling fee on even if they fee without is £1.

It's the 20% VAT that I've been stung with before that hurts the most. With shipping I'm looking at adding another £40+ onto the cost. Call me a cheapskate but I guess I've just gotten into the habit of buying secondhand on here and waiting for something I like to come up.
