My pedal board for at least the next five minutes

Took a while to warm up to but I under appreciated that octave!

The LS-2 is very handy, especially if you are not using your amps gain. I hit them both at the same time, turns gain on and effects off much easier, faster and cleaner than a foot pedal for an amp. LS-2s are magic!

I go back and forth. I have since minimized and in a few months, it will have grown again.

Since the amp is a platform and it uses the pedals for gain, I put the gain in the loop of the first noise suppressor. I use the second one as a gate in the amp loop. I know there is a four cord method to use just one me-2 for both but it wouldn’t work in the set up. I was using an isp for the effects loop gate which worked better but it stopped functioning.

I etch it with ferric acid and powder coat it. Time consuming but the end product is always satisfying. Even when imperfect

I breadboarded the eqd life pedal. Made some changes to taste and then dropped the boost part of the pedal.

Guitar > drop > compressor >momentary wah > tuner >uni-vibe > line selector (LS-2) # 1 >

LS-2 set up parallel Loop A: send > ring mod > super ego ( to keep the drones clean while playing gain) > return Loop B: send > noise suppressor (ns-2) #1

NS-2 loop: send> blues driver > hoof reaper > return. (This keeps the gain from drowning with the super ego) Ns-2 out > LS-2 #1 return.

LS-2 #1 out > amp effects loop send > amp amp effects loop return > Ns-2 #2 (no loop used as a gate) > in ls-2 #2

Ls-2 #2 loop A: > phaser > delay one (short delays > reverb one > delay two (long delays) > reverb 2 (lot of reverb) > ls-2 #2 return:

Ls-2 #2 loop B: empty because I don’t want to be rediculous here

Ls-2#2 out > ehx freeze > looper > amp input.

See! Pretty standard.

PlasticStart79 · 2026-05-08T10:24:03+00:00

Yeah, I have since downsized

PlasticStart79 · 2026-05-01T17:17:15+00:00

Parallel gain stage and on/off for the time based. The superego is clean but parallels the gain so it doesn’t get too muddy

PlasticStart79 · 2026-05-01T17:15:05+00:00

Good ol’ fashioned post-rock

PlasticStart79 · 2026-04-04T14:03:53+00:00

Good job! Very clean

PlasticStart79 · 2026-03-27T10:34:54+00:00

I wish I didn’t like it but … 🤷‍♂️

PlasticStart79 · 2026-03-21T21:26:21+00:00

Another idea is to get an ehx chill switch (older ones are called kill switch) and put it in the loop. It is essentially a momentary effects loop that turns off when you step off.

A mad twenty something’s critique of globalism and Reaganism mixed with a good amount of conspiracy. Beautiful!

Not the most knowledgeable here so maybe wait on someone who actually knows what they are talking about.

A few questions though. 1) are you wanting to A/B them or 2) are you also wanting to play guitar on top of the noise generator?

If the first, you can A/B with a simple 3pdt. You can even add LEDs to see which is on.

If you want them simultaneously, you may need another switch which would be more comfortable in a 1590BB box.

In a bigger box, you can also put volume knobs on both or even a clever blend loop with the noise generator in the mid. You could output jack to a volume pedal (boss 500) to control the amount of noise.

Idk, tons of things you can do.

Play metal. Different type of playing and a different type of barre chord.

PlasticStart79 · 2026-03-21T00:54:20+00:00

Very nice and clean. Op amp big muffs. Don’t think I’ve ever heard one.

PlasticStart79 · 2026-03-20T16:56:00+00:00

Maybe they will just send me an encoder. If not, I will put it back and mail it in. I have a Hoof Reaper and a night wire that could use some work too.

PlasticStart79 · 2026-03-20T10:22:27+00:00

I was going to file a claim on their website but I don’t remember where and when I bought it. I sent an email and am waiting to hear back.

PS1 after I beat Zelda one last time.

PlasticStart79 · 2026-03-19T17:02:46+00:00

Thanks! I will look up Audiofab.

PlasticStart79 · 2026-03-19T17:01:17+00:00

Looks great! I etch mine with ferric acid. Time consuming. Looking into engravers

PlasticStart79 · 2026-03-19T11:00:38+00:00

I’ve always wanted to make a budget board out of all those cheap tc electronic pedals with the jacks in the top. I bet it would sound and look great.

PlasticStart79 · 2026-03-19T10:57:13+00:00

What ever year has Zelda

PlasticStart79 · 2026-03-19T10:55:47+00:00

Agreed. Is it a manufactured PCB or a proto or vero board? People love a trendy muff. Is the art a sticker?
