Post your latest pedal

bit of a fun afternoon project 

[0175westwood29]

Oops I forgot the rule I guess 

 

yes I need to tie the cable back up 

[Rodders]

Not a pedal per se but I picked up a Sine Effects X24 Crossover/Mixer, I had been using a Boss LS-2 to run drive in parallel but it wasn't really cutting it so I figured this was the next step. 

Trying it out at rehearsal tonight!

Quick update to this, very pleased with it, well worth the price (though only having used it once) I couldn't work out initially why I wasn't getting much volume, then numb nuts finally realised you need clean level too!

… another Lusithand Alma, but this time the new Mk 3:

 

 

… these are my favourite comps, the additions for the Mk 3 are a switchable input pad, fast/slow attack times and an improved signal path as far as I know.
 

Great comps.

Nice one 

 

Unfortunately have yet to ever try one but I'm still on the Diamond Comp which I read is the "inspiration" for the Alma 

[jimbobothy]

… the clean blend is useful on the Alma, but it doesn’t have a mid EQ like the Diamond. Both are very nice, but I particularly like the Alma as it’s made in the UK 🇬🇧

Diamond always had “Mid EQ” 

 

the SGFX reissue just added another threshold point 

 

250 -500 - 900

 

 

i prefer the reissue over the original BCP-1

didn't the originals have a tilt EQ and a switch to set the tilt point?

V1 just at 250

V2 add 250 and 900

SGFX 250 500 900

 

as I said before I have never had a try on a Lustihand but totally a Diamond fanboy tragic👍

Great comps.

Wow, id love to try an Alma, ive an original Diamond Jnr (not the solid gold version) but the clean blend and attack switch are great additions.

How many comps do you have Jim? 🤣

Truthfully Jim..... 

[lee650]

Ive not posted my last clutch of new pedals, theres been a couple 🤣

 

Aotearoa intermodulator - built by the wonderful @LukeFRC its a Prunes and custard clone, but very small and rediculously well made. Its a damn funky touch sensitive synthy fuzz.

 

Diamond Bass comp Jnr- id forgotten how great these are, subtle fatness and sheen, works beautifully with other pedals, this is for the big fusion board.

 

MXR Bass chorus Deluxe- i love this pedal, lovely subtle but warm chorus, with a fantastic Flanger and the best colour.

 

EBS Multi comp - one of my favourite,with three great sounding modes. This is for the smaller board used for my rock and soul bands.

 

Emma Okto Nojs - dual pedal, versatile octave and a synthy octave up fuzz as well as an octave down fuzz, very synthy.

 

Subdecay Prometheus filter- very resonant and versatile filter, tons of synthy sounds available, not the easiest to dial in, bur rewarding when you do. Best used with octave /fuzz as its not really a bootsy type filter

… err one two miss a few … 😂
 

… so when you say comps, do you mean total number or different ones  🤣

 

I also managed to get one of @LukeFRC Aotearoa pedals, super impressed with the whole concept behind the project, from scaling down an existing circuit, enclosure selection and graphic design. Top stuff 😎

Ill bet if you plug them all in, your bass will sound like a fridge door opening.

A nice ode to the Prunes & Custard.

That’s what I was going for with the Aotearoa Intermodulator- homage to the unavailable original, and all black, because, well the link is my kiwi uncle introducing rugby to me… and also it looked cool.

Picked up an Ashdown Triple shot on sale at pmt, sounds Really good, I had a double shot a while back, but 3 bands to play with you can get some great tones.

[JPJ]

So this just arrived from the lovely folk over at Anderton’s.

I’ve been sans compression on my board for a while since convincing myself I didn’t need it and selling my Spectracomp, but I recently came to the confusion this was a mistake.

As much as I loved the Soectracomp, the requirement to engage with software to tweak the parameters made me shy away from a like-for-like replacement, and both the Empress and the Cali 76 were identified as possible candidates. After a late night YouTube session I settled on the Empress.

Looking forward to getting to know this over the weekend and then all being well, gig it next weekend. 

[jimbobothy]

… err I have this one as well 🤣. The  + colour option is a lovely addition to it also 👍🏻.

probably cannot be classified as a pedal, but its new and it is in a pedal sized enclosure. 😆

Nice, is this the one with more character baked in? Is it very noticeable in use?

I think this is the version with less character than the one with more character. 😄 the builder said it is in between the 2020s and the previous version.

 

It is noticable for my ears. sounds a bit fuller with a bit more noticable warmth/mids, thou admittedly the difference is on the subtle side. I use it with my Stomp XL setup.
