that's pretty much the whole point of tap tempo right.. to have a switch that's not latching i just tap like normal.

.

ahaha got it! my bad on that!

 

[leonq]

my board for now.



night shot.

 

[5stringwonder]

what's the polka dot pedal?

 

[leonq]

it's a custom flipster. blown away by this pedal so far. tone is really reminiscent of an ampeg. adds a very natural and warm drive that responds really well to your picking dynamics.

 

[5stringwonder]

A Flipster heh...did you build it yourself or did you order a pre-built one from OLC?

 

[leonq]

heh. maybe in the future. =) this one was built by a guy on the diy forums.

my current board replaces the ODB-3 with the polish love. and now thinking of replacing the hartke bass attack

Polish Love > MT-2 > Hartke Bass Attack > Zoom B2.1u

not much modulations. polish love clean boast and hartke always on. MT2 depends if i need a wall of fuzz/distortion and b2 for vol pedal, a bit of tweaks,

that is bare minimum that sorta works ok. thinking of replacing the bass attack with the ebs microbass. see how that works

 

[frenchtoast]

Should be sticking to this set up for quite some time. Might want to swap one of the drives for a chorus though.

Ill try to take a better picture soon too!

Signal chain goes: Bass-Pitchblack-EQ20-Comp-Looper(BP, Boost, OC-3, BD+BDI, PPBfuzz, EP+Verb)-Polish OD.

i will have my new pedalcase by tomorrow sweet

how i would love to buy some new drive pedals. but lack of cash and lack of interest for my stuff on sale is putting the brakes on things. sometimes it is less the quality of the effect but rather the novelty of having a new toy that is exciting. its like having a chinese girlfriend but wanting to try a malay girl. ok bad analogy

but my stuff looks so plain compared to the booteek stuff posted. looks like i'll be sticking with run-of-the mill brands such as ehx and mxr

that sounds like quite a fun upgrade

Polish Love > MT-2 > Hartke Bass Attack > Zoom B2.1u

Hey, I got a question for you about the Zoom B2.1u.

I've got my chain like this all powered by 1-spot adaptor.

bass -> Zoom B2.1u -> EBS Multicomp -> Korg DT-10 Tuner -> Amp.

At home this setup it is absolutely quiet. No noise at all.

I took it to the studio with the same setup, and there was a high pitch hum. I unplugged each effect and isolated to the high pitch hum coming from the Zoom B2.1u!!

It's weird coz at home this setup is absolutely no noise at all, but at the studio the Zoom gave out a high pitch hum.

Have you encoutered something like this for the zoom?

 

[niteblade]

hmmm, were you using a overdrive/distortion? or the hum just occured once the pedal was plugged in?

if it was for the former, your gain/volume might have been too high.

if it was the latter, then i dont know

 

[Resetti]

No od nor distortion. the setup is this

bass -> Zoom B2.1u -> EBS Multicomp -> Korg DT-10 Tuner -> Amp.

the hum is not the usual low pitch power hum, it's actually quite high pitch ringing.

To me is really weird, because the same setup at home is totally noiseless. But thes same setup in the studio produces the noise and it's the Zoom that's making the noise.

Mine

would like to replace the Muff with something less metallic sounding tho. for the mo' the EQ's able to reduce the metallic quality of the muff.

 

[rottenramone]

..

woo MuRF!

how do u use it to incorporate in your music ah??

 

[konikonakono]

how? its like either i use it very low to warm up the tone with a little bit off fuzz, or full blown fuzz like the intro to muse's hysteria or time is running out. the wah i use to accentuate some rifts to give it the hugee MWARGHH sound (Metallica's Anathesia Pulling Teeth) its very interesting to note when u have the muff + wah (half way pressed), you'd get a blup blup underwater tone. certainly overly interesting when muff + wah is paired with the funky Moog Murf.

Oh yea, and its very interesting also to point out good cables are a must. it'll noticably reduce those hums & noises. I use Monster & Planet Waves Cable plus Fender Tone Master patch cables. no hum no noise no nothing when im on stage.

 

[konikonakono]

Since Im here..

My band, we fairly have a gig once a week & usually more. since ive been dragging around 4 pedals around for every gig, i reckon i wanna stick all four onto a pedal board . then when i asked for a quotation,it was around RM150 (SGD70). WAH so expensiveee. so i reckon why not i make one?

The Ingredients

- Glue, velcros & a laptop bag

Steps

- Lined the bottom with the soft velcro.

- stick the bottom off the pedal with the hard velcro bit.
- do it opposite satu vertical satu horizontol
- let both dry out for two days.

- TARAAAA. Complete!!

- why i choose a laptop bag because its convenient. i can store all sorta crap on the other side.

cost:

Glue: RM8
Velcro: RM14
Laptop Bag: RM50
Total: RM72 (SGD40)

Duration: 2 Days

heloow!

will the ebs microbass II able to replace my hartke bass attack + odb3 combination? or better?

 

[tajmall]

konikonakono - is that you?

I thought I owe the copyright on this one ha ha. Patent still pending.
If only we got pics of my effects bag last seen at ZoukOut.
Can't be too many of those around.

if i'm not wrong you can expect to pay around $400 for a microbass2. but i might be wrong; it's probably more

now bearing in mind that its hard to qualify "better" pedals, for the difference in price that you're paying, you WANT it to be better
