My set up, I like to build and hack stuff a bit I’ve only just got the ring thing and have not stopped playing with it, way more fun than i was expecting.

Ok well the guitar goes into the whammy, the dry signal from this then goes to the micro pog, the bass muff, then to part one of the double kill switch, which is the metal one at the bottom of the board marked G/B, this then goes off the board into a soundcard, and this is how I play bass.
the wet signal from the whammy goes to the switcher box which is just above it, this then goes off the board to another input on the soundcard.
loop one of the switcher goes to the big muff, the boss chorus, part two of the double kill switch, the delay, then the AMT distortion/preamp.
loop two of the switcher goes to the ring thing.
The switcher lets me put the ring thing either before or after the other effects, as I found the pitch shift worked better before distortion and the ring mod works better after it. It also lets me remotely bypass the ring thing so that I can have it up on a table and geek out with the dials whilst I’m playing and still turn in on and off from the board.
So all this goes through the PC which I use for looping the guitar and bass signal separately and adding other effects, this is all controlled by the large unit in the middle which is a midi controller. I also use this to trigger samples and different drum loops.
as for the mods, the extra button on the delay lets me have full feedback when I engage it, the switch on the chorus removes the dry signal so it become a vibrato / filter. The big muff mod is a secret I shall take to the grave
Here’s a clip of my band, granted you cant really see a lot but there’s no backing tracks, everything is done live all from this rig http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Op0BRI-nsg
We tried playing to backing tracks when we started and it was so dull we gave up immediately, so instead I go in stage with this, have a tiny nervous break down that I’m going to hit the wrong button and much more fun is had by all.
What are you using for software/soundcard on yer PC?
its an m audio fasttrack ultra.
we used to feed the guitar and bass back out to separate amps and mic them up, but now we just use amp sims, its a lot less kit to carry and set up
we use ableton for the drum loops and as a VST effect host. The looping is done with some VST plugins I built in synthedit as ableton wasn’t quite set up how we liked to work. Helen the singer does a lot of vocal looping and effects as well, so she also goes through the laptop.
Hi all !!! First post here…I’m so glad I made it at last – I made a deal with myself that I can join this forum as soon as I get the 3rd EHX pedal – and on Sunday I finally got my dream pedal – the Deluxe Memory man
So here is my current pedalboard: (based on the original Ikea Gorm pedalboard – but I would paint it orange (I love orange, you see) even if the original one was pink – so I’m not copying (that much):
Zvex FuzzFactory Clone (has the Union Jack paint job)–> Ibanez tuner–> Morley Wah/Volume–> Boss DS-2
–> Seymour Duncan Pickup Booster–> EHX Deluxe Memory boy–> AMP [Engl Thunder] and then all EHX FX loop –> EHX Deluxe Memory Man–> EHX Cathedral
Wishlist – SMMw/Hazarai {for multi tap, looper, reverse and sometimes longer digital delay is needed]
– Expression pedal for DMB [that’s actually first in the list]
– Small Stone – probably the vintage one.
– And something for layered sounds so probably Pulsar, Octave Multiplexer or Micro Pog, even
though I don’t like digital polyphonic octavers for it’s unnatural digital tone, it’s good
for layering…
– VOX AC30 to replace my ENGL – and maybe an Orange Tiny Terror as a second AMP (it doesn’t
have an FX loop, otherwise I would’ve already got it…
– Fender Jazzmaster – my dream guitar…
My favourites are Cathedral, DMB and FuzzFactory (it’s too soon for DMM although it dazzled me immediately). Cathedral is outstanding, I think it actually has no peers – predelay is fantastic, so is the infinite mode and I find Flerb the best feature…DMB is great and not only for it’s features, but the sound is also amazing – apart from “normal” delay usage (delay is my favourite effect – I use it nearly in every song) it can do synthy sounds and amazing self oscillation using the square wave modulation. And what should I say about FuzzFactory? Well it should’ve been EHX effect – it does have the same attributes – it has a great sound + it does some freaky out of this world sounds (I love the fizzy velcro fuzz)…I use DS-2 just for changing color of my AMP’s middle-based crunch tone and it’s my first pedal and an orange one, so I can never get rid of it. And the booster for pushing my amp and also for solos using FF or DS-2.
I’m so looking forward to playing more with the DMM – I bought it (appart from the fantastic sound, a need of two delay pedals and cooler looks) mainly because my DMB doesn’t have equally loud repeats as my dry signal and I didn’t want to put a booster in it’s FX loop – I like it as it is, just needed another delay that doesn’t have this problem…
I play mostly alternative rock inspirated by english bands (Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Muse) blended with a bit of post-rock, Jack White kind of fuzz licks and composition is inspired with classical music a lot I guess.
I also play piano (far longer than guitar) so here is my band setup: (ignore the mess )

Thanks for the name…well I somehow love orange color, so it came to mind while ago…I suppose it can become my stage name, although I’m not very fond of nicknames. But seeing that I’m from Czech Rep. and sing in English, I think a nickname is appropriate… :metal:
I see the imageshack frog, but with the link I see them fine. That’s a nice board there, nice selection of pedals. I think I should get a delay, I’ve always wanted a memory toy. I never had a formal board since with the band I play at I just use the amp’s distortion/clean channels. Sometimes at home if I feel like droning I use my bmp, or use a chorus in stereo, or whatever I feel like with the deluxe octave multiplexer, I have a very wide range of musical styles that I like. Maybe I should take a group photo of my pedals
THX! I like ambient-style post-rock playing at home mostly, but with band you’ve got to put some riffs in too. So I use all the self oscillation and veeeeery long reverbs mainly for beginnings of the songs and for connecting songs together – infinite button on the Cathedral there is great because you can put in a flerb drone, while setting other effects for another song…I use delay and fuzz a lot (hardly any song without them) and combining analog delay and velcro-style fuzz on the FF is just killer! :metal:
I’m not changing the amp settings so much – I have the eq set the same all the time – for tone changes I use different pickups, and for overdrive I usually set the amp for crunch and then feed it with pickup booster – works great that way… :rawk:
And I’m really considering buying the Octave Multiplexer because many times I’m jamming just with my drummer and I usually tune the low E string to A so I can play octaves with a deep bass sound on the same fret hitting two strings – with the FuzzFactory it really sounds like distortion bass and a fuzzy guitar in unisono…The problem is that this tuning gives my strings a hard time a I don’t want to put a thicker E string just for this fun…But I’m really thinking about the Octave Multiplexer not only for this, but also for fattening and giving more bass ocassionaly to the sound….Is it possible? Can it be also used as a “Bassboost” ?

I guess so, from vids I’ve seen. Mine is the deluxe version, which is discontinued, but I think its basically the same circuit. Since this version has a fuzz built in I use it with flanger or chorus in stereo and that creates a really thick and synthy tone, sliding thru the fretboard is really nice. I have posted a video here on the vintage ehx section. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Y3H8sjH9wA I have to say tho that it can be glitchy if you use any pickup other than the neck one and even so is glitchy, buy sometimes in a good way
hi guys, this is my very first post on this nice forum. I am from italy and I am a big fan of EHX stuff. I am 36 and I always had EHX pedals, but this year I’ve decided to build a brand new pedalboard. So I am going to show it to you. As you can see EVERY pedal is EHX, except the power station and the tuner, because EHX don’t do it (yet?)
Well, I play mainly 80’s u.s. metal. (I play a genuine 84’s STEALTH BC RICH with 2 raw S.DUNCAN’s humbuckers through a LANEY amp and this is my pedalboard’s chain:
– white finger, for a very crushing compression
– big muff, for those not-so-heavy riffs
– metal muff, for shredding like a beast
– hum debugger, to clean a little when volume’s too high
– electric mistress, hypnotic in acoustic arpeggios
– clone theory, perfect for every clean part
– stereo memory man, I love it
– cathedral, to add space to everything
I have also personalized the hard case with a huge EHX white logo.
well, I hope you’ll enjoy my work.
ciao! fabio
