CryabetesParticipant
no dice if you’re looking to use the SP to ‘normalise’ the volume- it’s just a potentiometer in a chassis, there’s no ‘boost’ circuitry. It will give more of a volume drop. It’s like a volume pedal but without a treadle/wah type enclosure.
Now the LPB-1 on the other hand would fix the problem.
CryabetesParticipantthe other thing is it could be any two-knob pedal rehoused in a new chassis…
CryabetesParticipantI lol’d.
CryabetesParticipanthave you tried having your high gain pedals on a separate power adapters [each one gets its own]?
i’d try that and also maybe having anything with an LFO or a clock [modulations/delays] on its own supplies.
play around with it, also. it’s probably one pedal that doesn’t have good ground noise filtering that’s mucking everything up for you.
CryabetesParticipantfirst off, let me say I love those moments when you completely forget you dimed your distortion pedals, hit them, and get noise complaints from three blocks away. They are what I live for as a musician.
second, have you been able to duplicate the problem? [ie, does it do it at home at all?]
CryabetesParticipanta compressor would be what i’d try before a volume.
otherwise a boss LS-2 to ‘preset’ your volumes to the ones you need [have it on A-B mode, microsynth in one of the effects loops, just a patch cable jumpering the other.]CryabetesParticipantQuote:The current vintage pedal reissue market (MXR, ProCo, Ibanez, Colorsound, DOD, et cetera) have proven that works.Are there DOD reissues other than the 250 overdrive and the 440 env. filter? I mean, most of the FX line is still in working order but reissues of the FX45/FX76/FX32/FX33 in proper cases/TB stuff would be awesome. or a actual proper working/no-tone-suck version of the FX22?
I’d buy those.CryabetesParticipantRC-2s [and RC-20s/20XLs] are pretty well known for metronome tic when daisy chained [poor clock design?]
and not everything boss is digital [just sayin’]CryabetesParticipantare you deadset on having it be a rotary switch? depending on the number of pulls/throws, you could probably just replace it with a slide, toggle or even a stomp switch. just have to be okay with wiring stuff from the pcb hole to the switch- it’s not likely you’ll find a NOS replacement for it.

i’ve found it’s better to save your dough and buy more expensive pedals than to blow little bits all the time.October 11, 2010 at 2:25 am in reply to: Electronic/Synth Sounds for guitar and bass with EHX! #111899CryabetesParticipantHey
I’m a synth player [among other things]
and to get the wubz soundz I use an envelope triggered phaser [an Alesis FAZE](although you could probably just use an envelope filter) and a bass booster so the EHX equivalents would be the Mole for bass boost and then a Stereo Polyphase [for env controlled phase wubs] or a Qtron/Qtron+ or Enigma [for env controlled filter wubs].
Only downside [upside?] to this is you have to hit the note multiple times for each ‘wub’- it’s not automated/on a multiplier like the Ableton people’s wubs would be.
That said, this is pretty similar to how EOTO gets their dubstep sound- Michael Travis installed two drywall screws [one on the side, one on the mod wheel] and a rubber band onto on his Nord.If you would want the multiplier wubs, aside from going out and buying a synth or ableton rig, you could get one of the Alesis ModFX modulation boxes [the FAZE, PHLNGR, or PHILTRE] from ebay and mod them so the rate time is controllable via expression pedal while it’s in tap tempo mode [it acts as a multiplier in tap tempo mode]. but that would be kind of knob-twiddly and I’m not sure how well they’d hold up at gigs- plastic cases don’t matter when you’re playing synth and have to use a hand anyway, but i stick to metal for stuff i’m stomping on.
I don’t really know of many pedals that aren’t delays that have multiplier knobs versus a set ‘rate’ time…

Where else could I find the adapter, right now I have it daisy changed with a coupler to work but it is squealing.you have the coupler already, right? the 2.1mm barrel to 1/8th adapter? have you tried it on its own OneSpot or Godlyke or whatever the readily available 9v of choice is by you? That always worked for getting rid of the hiss/buzz for me.
CryabetesParticipantQuote:hmmmm kinda irrelevant but i bought a mogwai cd at this record store a few weeks ago cause it was in the 99 cent section, i should probably listen to it sometime soon.this is criminal. Mogwai is the best guitar band there has ever been.
CryabetesParticipantthe 2880 is center positive, but I wouldn’t recommend using anything other than the original power supply with it (or EHX approved European/Asian/Austr. version of said power supply). they have plenty of potential quirks and minimizing ever running into them starts with smart power supply application. Contact your local EHX dealer and they can order one for you.
CryabetesParticipantnope. in fact, the controls on most amps are distortion effects. an effects loop is an insert point [typically] between the preamp’s eq/gain section and the power amp [the part that makes the speaker go].
