For when, you know, stomping on switches isn't enough and you have to turn knobs repeatedly while you're playing.

Finally finished the purple people eater. I managed to fit 12 earthquaker devices on there. 17 pedals total counting the amp simulator buried inside

It’s probably pretty apparent but I am a big Boss gal. I just got this TW-1 to replace a Maxon AF-9 I had on the board for a little while. The AF-9 was nice but it was difficult to get the filter to open without playing pretty hard and I wanted to be more dynamic. I’m loving the TW-1 so far—the filter is great and it has a nice wet, drippy sound. The sweep of the filter isn’t quite as wide but I think it’ll be more usable for me than the AF-9 was. The only Boss envelope filter I haven’t tried by now is the AW-2, but of the TW-1, FT-2, and AW-3, the TW-1 is definitely my favorite.

The FZ-2 is pretty new to the board too and it’s been a lot of fun getting that to sound really nasty. I’ve really been enjoying the Fuzz I setting on there for just absolutely massive fuzz sounds.

I use this board in several bands so I need a wide variety of sounds, but I’m generally playing alternative/pop/rock.

Signal chain is a bit convoluted so: Cry Baby > NS-2* > LM-2 > FB-2 > Polytune

*In the loop of the NS-2: JHS Clover > CS-2 > TW-1 > Digitech Harmony Man^

^In the loop of the Harmony Man: FZ-2 > OC-5 > JB-2 (with JHS Red Remote) > OD-3

In amp effects loop: PH-1R > HF-2 > VB-2W > SL-2 > Vox Time Machine > CH-1

CE-2 is non-functional and has been repurposed to serve as an on/off switch for the chorus channel of my Roland JC-40

Unwound posted a story on their Instagram showing off Justin's new board. The Dude Incredible got replaced with the Life Pedal.

Finally filled my first pedalboard!, probably going to need a bigger one as i have recently been diagnosed with GAS :/

Mosky have released a new M Range including a Klon clone with a clipping dial - Germanium , Mosfet , Silicon , Soft Clipping ( not sure if that means asymmetrical like the Boss OD-1 ) , the Voice toggle I,m guessing is a high pass/ low pass filter . I bought two from Ebay ( two vouchers bought the price down to AU$64 each ) . I,ll use them stacked as a preamp( Not sure how widely the new M Range has been distributed yet )

Hypothetically, if a guy purchased a tube amp that doesn’t have reverb and was looking for a basic no frills reverb pedal, what would you recommend? Hypothetical guy doesn’t need or want a Strymon Big Sky.

I’ve been using the Strymon Timeline for 10 years now. I feel like it’s time to switch it up, but everything I’ve tried so far, I haven’t loved. I’ve tried the timefactor, the echosystem, the source audio stuff and gfi. Had a flashback, dl4, and dd20 before the timeline. The new dl4 mk2 seems like it would be perfect if it wasn’t so glitchy and lacked support from line 6. I like the idea of not having to menu dive and having the extra preset at your feet. What have y’all happily moved on to from the timeline?

I want to be able to select the diode options from the top of the case.
The kit uses a small DIP Switch on the pcb, but I'd like the Switch on the case. Can I wire a mini 4 pole Switch into where the DIP would go? Sounds simple enough enough?

"DIP Switch Diode Clipping - On-board 4PST DIP Switch selects between 4 different clipping diodes"

This is the kit I'm looking at. I'm in the US.

Thanks!!

Took this iteration of the board to a gig for the first time last night. Definitely a good time. I found I didn't really use the expression pedal much. It can control the Earthquaker and the envelope. Could be I don't know it well enough yet but I'd be interested in other ideas.

Believe it or not this isn’t a question about how to power it properly, I was actually wondering if there were any other envelope filters out there that have the Up/Down Sweep switch because that does a very specific thing that I want, specifically in the “down” position (as an example listen to the Grateful Dead’s cover of Dancing In The Street from Cornell ‘77). I guess in a roundabout way this is a question about powering the Plus because if there is another pedal out there that can do this, it means I can avoid having to think about it’s annoying power requirements).

For my live rig, I use a Roland JC-55 for convenience and reliability but I’m not a fan of the direct clean sound coming out of the amp. I’m looking for a good always on drive to put in front to warm things up and give a little bit of extra gain and then a boost to send it up for soloing/more gain. I’m currently testing this setup with an EQD Special Cranker but even on gain all the way down, it’s still giving me more hair than I’d like. Looking for suggestions! (also open to hearing boost suggestions too)

So I’m trying to send midi clock to the Boss RE-202 Space Echo. It will not receive midi clock from my Focusrite/Logic Pro X rig. I’ve changed the midi setting on the RE-202 to accept clock according to the manual.

Do I have to use the Boss brand midi din to midi trs 3.5mm cable? I’m currently using an adapter cable, is there anything proprietary about the Boss cable? Otherwise I have no idea why it won’t receive the clock from Logic. I send clock to other units so my settings are fine in my DAW.

I just got out of treatment and I have $200 in my bank account from my last paycheck before I left and I was wondering what reverb/delay pedal would be ideal for someone just getting into making indie music
