I just received the DMM this afternoon and the BMP on Friday. this is my first DMM… AND I LOVE IT. I see a lot of Pitchblacks. I miss it now.

some awesome gear you’ve got there! How are you liking your Nano Dr. Q? I may be getting one of the old sheet-metal chassis doctor Qs pretty soon

Thank you. I don’t use the dr. q a whole lot on it’s own.. it sounds a little quiet. :S I like adding some reverb to it just to liven it up a bit.

Right on.

I definitely want to snag another dr.q to compare. Mine sounds different from other demos I’ve heard.

The bass boost is actually a bass cut

The nobels pre does exactly what it promises – boosts. It’s like a lot of other boosts in the way that it also manages to add an incredible amount of clarity that you often lose by having lots of FX with dodgy bypass (or too much true bypass and not enough good quality buffers, as my case may be). It really has fixed the problems with humbuckers sounding mushy and muddy through my rig, too. It’s a godsend, although i can’t help but think the LPB-1 would do exactly the same for cheaper – minus a simple 2 band EQ which is useful for rolling off harsh treble and rumbly bass where needed.

On the proguitarshop.com demo the bass boost was a bass boost… Strange

i don’t know how old this one is, maybe they’ve changed it? or was it the nano Q you saw a demo of? anyway, when you flick the switch up you lose a lot of bass and get a very screechy sound (it’s a cool sound effect, though not very musical), but when it’s switched down it’s a pretty well balanced sound. Maybe mine’s just ‘special’

anyway, i apologise for the darkness of this pic, but here’s my current board…

you might notice that i STILL don’t have an actual board. It will cost about £100 but i’d like to get a large case to just put them all in in that current arrangement. i need at least 80 x 50 cm though lol.

edit: i also appear to have cut off the right hand side, but you can still just about see everything.

Dr. Matt

instead of spending 100 pounds

buy a few 2x4s
buy a box of drywall screws (about 4 inches in length is perfect)
buy some shorter screws
buy a bike chain tool
get some broken bike chain

you need 4 2x4s to be the length of the depth of your board, plus 4 to be the length of your board. (plus a few more if you want it angled)

arrange them in a grid

use some drywall screws and screw them together. Use about 2 per place where they meet. That will make it really sturdy

stain and clear coat it if you want, it will look a lot nicer if you do

use the bike repair tool to take apart the bike chain into a bunch of little links

use these with the little screws as mounting brackets for your pedals

voila!

you’ve got a super tidy board pretty cheap

all you need now is a case that fits it

very tidy board sir!

personally I’d go for the SMMH over the number one echo, it’s just so much more versatile, even for just simple echos because of the decay and filter controls. And it isn’t that much bigger really.

i have GAS for a hazarai to layer my DMM
