mcgraham Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 [quote]yeah, i'm a recent convert. plus, i don't like having to step over pedals when playing live, so having them all in a row is safer!![/quote] I'm the same. As much as I love the sounds that numerous different pedals achieve, I've never been one for having to operate lots of pedals - I like it plug'n'play. I need a picture of my PT Mini to show you guys. It's usable for both guitar and bass though I use it almost exclusively for guitar. At present it's: Polytune-->Boss GEB7-->Zvex Box of Rock-->Malekko Ekko 616-->Boss RC-2-->Sansamp California (for guitar sim). Once I get my new amp (I'm talking guitar here) it'll be an even simpler setup with just the delay in the effects loop and the tuner plugged into a tuner out. I'm thinking about getting a dynamic delay like the TC Nova Repeater so that I don't even have to alter my delay settings when doing different songs.

I prefer it to the Sovtek small stone I had. It is a 4 stage phaser, so definitely gets into phase 90 territory but it's much more versatile.

It's definitely tubescreamer like, but it's much less compressed and has more gain. I think the presence control is what makes it so good, it makes the pedal a lot more versatile.

cheddatom Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 nice bob! Do you have a clean blend on your XP-100? I find that mine tend to lose me a bit of low end on some wahs, and also on octave up harmony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] As a man with a severe bee sting allergy (they give me a mild case of death), I take a perverse pleasure in that picture. And my B isn't flat, it's just cable noise, which is odd, because sometimes it's a sharp G and sometimes that flat B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pantherairsoft Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 (edited) Right... Finally sorted my mini board, this is covering all bases at the mo and am very happy with everything. I am considering shifting the Unichorus for a dedicated Chorus pedal, like the Analogman, but may end up leaving as is as it still does the job. Only thing missing is the Boss SL-20 Slicer which I used for my Drum & Bass project which sits next to the DD-20 TC Electronics Polytune -> MXR M288 Bass Octave Deluxe -> 3Leaf Groove Regulator (& Fuzzhugger AB-Synth within it's effects loop) -> EBS Unichorus -> Guyatone Phase Shifter PS3 -> Boss DD-20 Delay with Tap Switch loving it!

bobbass4k Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Looking good, but how come you're using an external tap switch for the dd-20? So you can switch patches and use tap tempo simultaneously? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also go from one type of delay to another and would need to hold it for 2 second to turn off, change patch, hold for 2 seconds, turn on, then start tapping again. The £4 it cost me off eBay seemed worth it for practicalities sake... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pantherairsoft Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 It never caused me an issue until this recent project which involves more pedal swapping than I can keep up with! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantherairsoft Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 For competion sake... The full bass as used with the Drum & Bass project... At times I am recording a phrase on the DD20, then recording a phrase of the phrase onto the SL20, then playing over it.... Complex... But fun!

harvey1-8 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Shep, why did you switch from the EBS octabass to the MXR BOD? Was it just personal preference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantherairsoft Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I was not using octave of any sort… so I sold the Octabass, as I needed the money for something else. ironically, a month or so later I needed an Octave again… I was going to re-buy the Octabass but thought I'd try a few others on the off chance and was quite shocked to hear how much more natural the MXR Octave and Octave Deluxe sounded. The Octabass sounds almost computerised in comparison. Its not a bad sound… just preference was on the MXR for me! Oh, and the MXR tracks much better!
