New "Stuff" Day!

[MrBump]

Bought a few bits and bobs.

Was finding that my pedalboard was just too large for the pubs that we're playing in, so needed something smaller.  Also, wasn't really happy with the pedals that I had in front of my amp - it's just so much better with everything in the loop.

So this is my new board:



The newest addition is the Red Witch Moon Phaser, which is just awesome.  It's taking care of all my modulation needs now (replacing the Eventide ModFactor).  Also bought a decent digital delay, does what it says on the tin.

The Devi Ever Punch Love had been relegated to the sidelines because it was just too damn noisy.  However, now it's in the FX loop it's incredible - an awesome treble booster.

Definite recommendation for the Pedal Train board - it's great, really sturdy, a very logical board.

These are the pedals I'm leaving behind...



(obviously all subject to change on a whim...!)

is that a triangle muff clone in the bottom pic?

so some of these going for sale..what was other pedal board

[MrBump]

The red "go louder!" pedal was a BYOC 250 distortion clone - I lifted the diode clipping section and used it as a straight ahead volume boost.  However, the Egnater as a second master volume, which makes the volume boost a little redundant...

Yeah, might have a sale.  Need to make sure I'm happy with the current setup first!

Oh, the old board was a Warwick.  Good concept, two independant send/receive circuits built in, but the execution was just sloppy - poorly moulded plastic, uneven.  And just too damn big!!!

Wow, quite a drastic change. I did a similar thing a while back and haven't looked back. I've heard great things about those Red Witch pedals .... I'm just trying not to buy anything at the moment. Looks great though, simple is efficient!

Moon Phase is awesome.  Been lusting after one for months, does just what I need - lovely phaser sounds, can do a neat tremolo, and a great impersonation of a rotary speaker cab.

I can't get over the Punch Love though - I'd written it off because it was so noisy in front of the amp.  But in the FX loop it's incredible - a great old school treble booster.

which biyang pedal do you have?

which biyang pedal do you have?

Was about to ask too. Looks like the AD-8 delay :

[MrBump]

^ yep, that's the BiYang delay.

It's.... OK.  Not a bad analogue sound.  But I found that I miss the clarity of a digital delay for what I play.  Plus, and this is the real killer with the BiYang pedal, there's a noticable drop in volume when it's engaged.

Hmm ? Don't have this problem with my Biyang DS-8 Mouse :mrgreen:

[dave_mc]

thanks. i don't think the biyang is 100% analogue anyway. but yeah, a volume drop would be annoying.

Just been having a listen to the moon phaser and it sounds damm nice.  I will be intrested to see which pedals creep back onto the pedal board.   You  certainly got some nice ones. :D
