At the risk of making people think I didn't get the joke, I don't think whoever made this knows what the "complicated true bypass looper from That Pedal Show" actually does if he thinks having true bypass pedals has anything to do with it.

Pretty much reached capacity.

Next stop is a Pedaltrain and a decent PSU

I've got a large CPB G2 board for sale, with a lift-off lid and a hinged tier.

It's in mint condition - I bought it to replace a Pedaltrain, then left the band I was in and stopped gigging. The next band I joined didn't need so many pedal options, and then I got a Helix, so it's actually never been out of my house.

It looks something like this: https://www.custompedalboards.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/G2-Cases-medium-populated24.jpg?v=79cba1185463

Mine has space on the right for three expression pedals.

Any interest?

Thanks but I want something with slats so I can run cables underneath

You could easily put an ES-8 on there to run everything if you arrange things carefully.

Weirdly I don't mind the tap dancing

The right hand side of that board is like a Greatest Hits of Gain!

Fun times! And in the day light:

How's that Sputnik? Spaceman Effects get so much high praise and the prices are ridiculous! Demos of Sputnik and Aphelion sound good though...

Love it. More versatile than the NG-2, but a lot more temperamental - to stay on theme in the analogy, pending Mars aligning with Jupiter’s moons.

Germanium fuzzes eh... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'd started a new originals band, so a new board has been made.

Some "proper" choices there @kylef ;

What do you use the M5 for?

What do you use the M5 for?

Tap tempo tremolo, particle verb, auto swell and any other random effects not covered by the rest of the board. It's a handy swiss army knife pedal

Yes it is. It doesn't necessarily do everything brilliantly, but it does most things well enough to cover effects you don't want often.

The only thing that makes it more useful (apart from being able to sync it to other pedals via MIDI) is having a way to move it around the signal chain to best utilize all the stuff it can do- you'd want it at the end for reverbs, but not for modulations, and definitely not for pitch shifting or some of the filters. I've got mine in a loop switching gizmo not unlike the Bright Onion Dual Reverse Looper.

Yeah agree!

Signal flow on my board for anyone interested is Buffer > Tuner > POG > Fairfield Comp > Timmy Clone > Uber Bee > Fuzz > SHO clone > M5 > Chorus > TImeline > H9 > BlueSky > RV5 > Ditto X2

The H9 is used for reverbs and delays

@jonnygreentrees have you tried synchronizing the M5/H9/Timeline via MIDI?

I've done that with my DD-500 and M5s- I've turned off synchronous patch changing, but use MIDI clock sometimes to sync delays to the stuff the M5s do, which is fun.

no but I'd like to do that in the future! need to be sensible and get a new board and a decent PSU first. I'm currently running 5 adapters!

At the moment, just the DD-500, and just for MIDI clock, via a MIDI THRU under the board. That way the tap tempo switch for the DD-500 functions as a master tap tempo input for all the MIDI pedals, even if the DD-500 isn't on.

The DD-500 can also send Patch Change messages, but only ones that correspond to the patch on the DD-500- so if it's on patch #1, it can tell another processor to also change to patch #1. I suspect the Timeline will do the same sort of things.

Eventually I'd like to be able to do more with MIDI on my board. It seems a bit half-arsed to have complex MIDI control over a few pedals and still have to tap dance on the rest, but finding something that'll do the combination of switching and PC/CC messaging I want is looking expensive...

Is it easy enough to program?

GavRichList · March 2018

Super easy.

Howdy, Stranger!
