Let's see your PEDAL BOARD!

[Willem]

HR Moby DIck added, next step is the 1spot CS7 I bought today, I should have it on wednesday and will make it neater under the board.

Pedalboard project would be finished for 2015 but I have great ideas for 2016

that is NIIIICE. what kind of amp are you running it into?

[Willem]

Thanks! Vox AC15c1x. My mini sounds so good through this amp!

I'll back up. I am interested in learning more about cv and basically know zero.
What device is producing the cf and which device is being affected by the cv?

They've all go cv outs and ins on the back on the moogerfoogers. I don't really know what's going on other than I bought a few patch cables and just started randomly connecting ins and outs and twisting knobs. Many didn't seem to do much but a few really seemed to change everything. Right now I have a mix of the FreqBox going to the Ring Mod and the Ring Mod going to the FreqBox. It seems like the more cables I added, the more interesting it got. I saw one video where the guy described it like a modular synth which I don't really understand the flow of those things either. Apparently though I could also hook them up with a TRS cable to the expression jack of other pedals like the CT5 but I haven't tried that because all of my patch cables are mono. The other weird thing is that some of these patches will effect the pedal even if one of them is off while others only seem to do their thing when they're both on. I've only put a few hours into experimenting but it totally changed my impression of the FreqBox from "what the fuck is this supposed to do because I only get awful sounds out of it" to "if I ever figure out what's going on here, this could be one of the most important and inspirational pedals I own". The sync button is now awesome. I can make a drone with it off or I can have it follow my guitar in a way that really sounds cool. I feel like I have to start writing down these patches and setting though and that's not usually my effect style.

Exp and CV aren't the same! Control Voltage (CV) sends a low voltage through the cable, usually the range is 0-10V or 0-5V. This is the format that most synths use, because it is much better to manipulate than EXP. You can make steps and arpeggios and bend the curve of an LFO much better if you are using voltage. Basically any effect that can be used to tweak an audio signal can also tweak CV. That is the magic of modular synthesis.
Exp is simply varying resistance. An expression pedal is just a pot in a Wah shell that you turn by treadling the treadle. And a pot is simply a varying resistance between two of the lugs.
It is (I think) much easier for builders to incorporate Expression jacks than CV, so those are more common, especially among boutique builders. Some stuff takes either, f.ex. the Strymons do, I think the Moogs do too and some other, mostly digital effects, so that makes it even more confusing. And on top of that some people mislabel Exp Inputs with CV.

I am pretty sure the GB24 only takes EXP, so I guess the Ct5 might be the same.

Thanks. I didn't know that. I had an old ring mod that had an expression pot but they said I'd just have to wire up some simple cv version of a volume pedal to use it but I never bothered with it...I guess I just assumed that all expression pedals would be cv but then again I use Moog expression pedals all the time with various pedals (including my ct5) but they're not powered so I obviously haven't put much thought into it.

A few changes after getting a Meatbox and that red micro pedal, you can see top right.
The Meatbox is fantastic, I have a hard time turning it off. (I turn down the octave and let the boosted sub/low frequencies shine).
The Incinerator is just in, it's amazing so far, so many sweet and crazy sounds.

Bass -->
Meatbox wet --> Agro --> Octamizer --> Bass Bloom --> Rig 1.
Meatbox dry --> Dope Priest --> Bluebeard --> Big Spider --> Youth Chaos/Clock Noise --> Beast --> Megalith clone --> Flanger --> RM-1N --> Echo Degrader -->
DD7 A --> Incinerator 1 --> Rig 2.
DD7 B --> Incinerator 2 --> Square Wave Generator --> Rig 3.

Having the Meatbox sub stuff one rig and different flavors of fuzz on the other two rigs result in amazing crushing and cutting tones.
Letting the DD7 pan the two Incinerator fuzzes between rig 2 and 3 is fun as well ... then turn on the Echo Degrader as well and it gets really wild.
Running the Youth Chaos/Clock Noise into the Incinerator is totally crazy.


I also love to try stuff, so Im thinking about moving the Bass Bloom from Rig 1 to Rigs 2&3, after the Megalith ...
And maybe I'll try the Incinerator brigded before (or after?) the DD7 ...
Or ...?
Any input on the signal chain is welcome.

sick board. With rig 1, 2 and 3 you mean you use 3 amps?

i like this.

Haven't had a chance to set anything up in over a month since moving to the new house so finally did today! Testing out some combinations before putting together a new pedalboard. All the stuff on the rack is switchable on the board through single loopers. About to plug in and play....

what is that above the hiwatt? can only read "analog."

damn, nice. my first thought was that it was an oil reverb.
not cheap, that's for sure...

You gaiz!

That guitar is gorgeous. What type of guitar is it?
