Killer deal as they would have cost over 80 somewhere else. Anyway, I maxed out one board and left the other with room to grow. Feels better this way. Plus it gives me time to get another power supply. Also I took the Flanger Hoax off. I think I'm going to dump it.

Whenever I see people with 7 pedals and a 7 channel looper I want to show them boards like this to see if their head will explode. Anyway, awesome board. Have you used the other functions on the sidewinder?

Pedals hanging off the board.

Even shrinkier!

Glad you managed to get it sorted out man! And at a bargain too!


I think it makes more sense to have one maxed out, and the other with room. That way you know exactly how much pedal-real estate you've got to use

^ Very sweet setup, jwar. I just migrated my Compact Faye Sing B to my board, too. So far it's playing nice with everything else, sounding killer with fuzz/dirt in front.

I haven't got a chance to mess with the other inputs and outputs of the Sidewinder. I've been trying to figure out how I'd use them. I also looked all over for a manual for that sucker but it doesn't exist. It looks like it has a photo eye on it but I've yet to hit it with anything but normal lighting. Maybe I need to remedy that today. If that's not a photo eye, I don't know what the fuck it is. LOL.

What other functions are there that you know of?

From what I read you can use the extra in and outs as an effects loop or you can put something in the other in so instead of being sound/off it'll be sound1/sound2. And there was something else but I can't remember. But it makes me want to try one.

Elements into Pharaoh.... incredible stuff. Nice board!

Cheers man. Yeah Elements -- Demo -- Pharaoh is my world has exploded and we're dead in hell tone.

For whatever stupid reason I had not listened to your band up until now. I'm so stupid for waiting because you guys fucking rule!

What was your method for recording that latest single? I noticed you said you just did it live in your rehearsal space and it sounds great!

I just listened too. Wow... great stuff!

Aw man Thanks guys!

We recorded all the main parts live apart from the vocals and the droney lead overdub thingy at the end to a really really shitty digital 8 track. Our bassist's been studying sound engineering and all that jazz for the last few years, so he recorded, mixed and mastered it. We're pretty pleased with how it turned out considering it cost us nothing to do

That's awesome, so did you just mic each instrument and then use a few for drums?

Exactly that, yeah. Really basic, but we were going for a more punk/aggressive vibe than our other stuff. Our album's going to be a mix of both styles. Hopefully
