you have too many pedals.

no way, man. Maiolo's got me beat by a country mile.

plus, it helps to have a bunch when your M.O. is "drug music".

do you process the guitar threw the nord?
can your nord do that?

no, the splitter is so I can run the nord through the looper in the line6 and the big muff. the sounds are nutty enough in the nord that I don't need to run it through a lot of effects, but having it in line with a fuzz and a looper seems like it would be fun.

ok...see this thing?


surprisingly nice stereo chorus..worked wonders for my cz-1000 mit mfb synthlite..

your keyboard will love a stereo chorus/vibrato..
especially with a two amp setup.

Well, more like a European Kilometer, but a dude's gotta make his guitar sound like crazy shit in a band sometimes, you know?

Yes, how I love the drug music. The space rock. The Motorik. The puh-sychedelic-but-not-in-a-Dead-way stuff.

Good point on the simplifying thing. I can't say the Moog delay is worth the money, because in the end, it's just a really good delay with fun controls, and so is a Memory Man. I set my MM up on my mic stand so I can grab the controls easily. One of those drummer's trays. You should get one for the Moog.

My board has it's own power supply and the Moog uses it's own because the polarity is crossed (I think). I have the Moogs set up at home with a daisy chain on a single Moog adapter though. Saves space.

Get some colored electrical tape so you can mark some settings for quick performance changes. You'll need that if you're going to count on one effect to do a lot of things. "Redneck presets."

And I'll say again, the Moog Phaser is the muf'kin bomb.
That said, I don't have one because the Nano Small Stone is, at the very least, a muf'kin IED.

On the subject of simplifying, sometimes an A/B rig can be a right pain in the ass. If you can avoid it, do.
If you can't, use the Boss LS1 Line Selector. It gives you different switching options when you change your mind down the line, it's cheap, and it killed my ground loop problems when I was using two amps.
So versatile, this pedal.
I left it off of my pedal board because I didn't always use it.
I have my "core" board.
An "addendum" board.
A volume pedal.
And I'll set up a Memory Man, DL4, Mooger, Line selector, Wah or anything else as I need them or when I get a wild hair.

A friend of mine has the ringmod, which is kinda unusual seeing as his main instrument is bass (and theremin too, on the side), but he loves it.

Motorik? I've never heard that one. whatisit?

the nice thing about also playing keys is that you have a little ledge for that kind of stuff. I toss a handful of picks on it, tape the setlist to it, leave the ebow hooked on the pitch bender (it's really solid) for use later.

I've thought about mounting the POG on it with some velcro to be able to manipulate the controls live. but in the end, I don't really like tweaking knobs live, I enjoy playing much more. I've gotten good at remembering a few basic settings on my 5 knob fuzz factory, so this one shouldn't be too much of a stretch.

My board has it's own power supply and the Moog uses it's own because the polarity is crossed (I think).

apparently, they take a +9v (instead of the usual negative) pin, which is fine. I think I have one of those polarity cables to make the pin positive. I have a powerall that'll be able to run the boss, the muff, the DL6, an ABY (for the led indicator) and the ring mod. cake. it's super slim, too, so it works well with those two piece of shit {HUGE} EHX warts.

Yeah, my friend Orion uses one of those, and he brought them up, too.

The nice thing about the DL6 is that it has stereo ins, so my keyboard set up through it is going to be simple. However, I'd like the option to be able to take it out of the chain, so that if I have a delay on the gtr, the keyboard doesn't have to have it too.

anyway, that's for a different thread....


I'm excited to try one out, regardless. maybe I'll go to make'n'music tomorrow! It's good, cause I ddon't have the money to buy it.

i want a bunch of fucked up weirdo pedals.

they sound like fun.

Like, Motorik bomp bomp bomp rhythms in Krautrock. Think Neu, 'Autobahn', that kind of shit.
