Behold my massive board of pedals

8 pedals controlled by the Morningstar MC6 too.

3x Chase Bliss, 3x Meris, H9 and... Infinity looper?

Can't the Whammy accept MIDI IN?

Do you tend to come up with sounds for specific songs, then program the MC6 to recall them, or can you use the MIDI stuff a bit more free-form than that?

The Whammy is the 8th; my infinity is midi synced, but not controlled - I like to trigger manually still, so it’s synced to our laptop via a bit of creative wiring underneath my board.

Yes, I generally program the sounds in advance and trigger presets or CC changes with the MC6, though there is scope for more freeform weirdness should I require.

Slightly revised 2018 rehearsal board. added the brilliant OD-1, SD-2 & DM-2w. Gradually going all Boss. I'd like slip on a Lovepedal Babyface Trem on there at some point.

How does the RYRA stack with the SD-2? Guessing the chain is RYRA>....SD-2?
Are you using both channels on the SD-2?

I've not tried the RYRA with the SD-2 yet but it's fantastic with my OD-1... I used both the crunch and lead on the SD-2 during my last rehearsal and it was fantastic.... a killer pedal

First proper rehearsal with my new board, and I love it. Finally being able to do away with the noise gate made everything feel really lively, and having a full fat Whammy back is an absolute joy. Oh, and given that it’s having to fill the unfillably big shoes of the MF104M, the Chase Bliss Tonal Recall RKM didn’t disappoint; It’s right up there. Excited to program some nonsense patches to embellish bits of the live set.

@noisepolluter these are much lower profile than the pancake plugs.

Thanks for the link - will check those out.

Restraint has now gone for a Burton as with the mini board I found I kept stepping on two pedals at once.

Have now switched back to Metro 24 and added compressor and chorus for jangly new wavey moments.

I continue to be impressed with the Liquid Sunshine - it can be a bit dark sounding at low volume levels but when playing out it’s phenomenal. When at home I just blend in more of the bright channel to compensate. The boost next to it is a Dickinson Lo-Mo which is a great pairing.

How come you ditched the Moog, was it just down to freeing up board space? I was never a fan of the TR but I did own the mk1

GavRichList · February 2018

Space and preservation, along with midi functionality. The Moog does tonnes and is still my fave, but the RKM is more live friendly and sounds stunning

Didn't you also have a near miss with some(one else's) beer at a rehearsal once or something?

Or am I thinking of someone else?

GavRichList · February 2018

I did indeed

^ stupid bloody BT open zone. FWIW, I’ll never part with the Moog; it’s just reserved for home / studio / synth use

I find noise gates to be handy after dirt and modulations but before reverb to keep unwanted noise silent if needs be.

And that is where I have always had one... but it sounds better without the need for one

So your uber board had no background noise at all? Marvelous

This is a small board now! Plus, there’s a lot of juice underneath, spread over 14 isolated channels, so pretty much everything has its own isolated supply... with just a couple of exceptions. Good cables too. Boring expenditure, but worthwhile

DesVegas · February 2018

I take it you don't have a vibe pedal then. That's where most of my noise comes from when the fuzz and distortion is on

Fuzz - vibe - distortion

I do not. Warped Vinyl will do it’s own version should I require, and there must be one in the H9.

DesVegas · February 2018

It's a great combo but without the smart gate they're too damn noisy. Anyways, congrats as always in your board.

Paul_C · February 2018

In preparation for a new pedal (tomorrow, hopefully) and another purchase next week - I have started shuffling things about.

I'm going to move one or two from the R/H stand to the middle and then work from there

Added the Timeline and Ditto X2 and removed the DelayLab and Memory Man. Timeline is great, have barely scratched the surface.

Got some extra space now so will get an Ojai for power and maybe a couple of other interesting pedals.

Howdy, Stranger!
