The Cntl Knob controls delay time on the DD-8 so I can have short and long settings on the fly.

I love the idea of these things, instant presets!

Ah Amazing I should be able to read by now!

[Doog]

unprecedented times, man

[Thom]

Yeah it's really handy and super easy to configure with the DD-8. You can control multiple knobs at once or just one, really versatile. You just set the knobs on the DD-8 to the max setting you want to control when it's in set up mode, and then as you say, instant presets - very clever.

Happy birthday to me! Parents have just been over for a few drinks and were awesome and got me a Boss FZ-1 as a present. Just plugged it into the board and had 2 minutes messing about. Dialed in a nice fuzz face sound and the best thing is that it doesn’t care about buffers and plays nicely with the wah! Will see what it can actually do over the weekend. Cheers all

Went small

[Thom]

Nice!

Go small or go home

My pedal board consists entirely of a single 0.5 watt, metal film resistor.

pure tone!

i love how 9 pedals is economizing among us nerds.

ODR-1 switched with the 1981.

That looks extremely neat, Thom. What's your signal path and what cables are you using?

[Thom]

Thanks Nick. Signal path is:

PolyTune -> Crybaby -> Compadre -> Fuzz -> SD-1 -> 1981 -> DD-8 (with Cntl Knob to switch delay times) -> Spacestation -> Flint

And am mostly using EBS Gold cables as they are the lowest profile I’ve found. Not had any issues with them and makes fitting things in a lot easier.

[NickS]

I find it hard not to lay out pedals according to their position in the signal path, though there's absolutely no reason why you should.

I also find it annoying that the Line 6 M9 numbers its channels 1 - 3 left to right when most pedals have input on the right and output on the left. You can reverse the signal path so it's 3->2->1 but if I remember correctly when you go into set-up to decide which expression pedal controls which channel, if you have reversed the signal path Channel 3 is now Channel 1 when it comes to expression pedals.

I did this for such a long time, but recently have been thinking about access and what makes sense when behind a mic stand.

That does indeed sound very annoying.

Really neat looking board, Thom.

How are you finding the FZ-1w?

How does that EHX CNTL work? Is it like having two expression pedals left in a fixed position?

[dots]

clean and mean, thom!

Yes. (It was discussed somewhere somewhen).

[BearBoy]

Cool.

I was looking at these earlier. Think it would be perfect for doing something similar in my set up (but syncing precisely to BPM). Just wish they were about a third of the price
