Members melx Posted October 23, 2007 Members Share Posted October 23, 2007 Originally Posted by tenoken Still gonna build a crazy shaped board?! mmm... I was gonna do it kinda curved shape...but because all my pedals have the jacks in the top I would be better doing it straight really. Whatever I decide to do it will be made to fit my set up and put the pedals I use the most right under my feet........I'm not really fond of 'back rows' so the only pedals back there will be ones I only use occasionally....this means the order on the board might not be the order in which they are 'chained' so it's gonna take a bit of figuring out with cables and stuff..and stop poking me!!!!

Members Destructobot Posted October 24, 2007 Members Share Posted October 24, 2007 I was rocking the PNP/NPN two-headed today and getting some really good sounds. I was boosting it with varidrive, but had my guitar volume all the way down to about 4.5. Sounded AMAZING! I have a bad habit of thinking my guitar volume has to be all the way up, all the time. Today it seemed like doing that just brought in horrible harshness. I LOVE the bias control, that's the heart and soul of these pedals if you ask me.

Members HMCMedic Posted October 24, 2007 Author Members Share Posted October 24, 2007 I was putting new batteries in a bunch of my pedals before practice tonight. I think I will take a picture of a bunch of my pedals with their guts exposed to show the difference in workmanship in some of the pedals. I know the Monsterpiece pedals will be easily ID'd on that line also, I am back to powering all my fuzz/OD/Distortion with 9 volt cheapo batts again. It sounds better to my ears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members confused Posted October 24, 2007 Members Share Posted October 24, 2007 Recently picked up a used Monsterpiece 2 Head PNP/NPN over at TGPPretty sure it's an older one - the PNP is all silicon not hybrid.Compared to the NPN the PNP sounds more germanium in nature - warmer, rounder, a bit more raspy with slightly less gain.I have really been enjoying the slightly warmer PNP it works well with my vintage Fender and Ampeg amps.

Members ShaneRyan5046 Posted October 25, 2007 Members Share Posted October 25, 2007 Buying an NPN was the best thing I ever did for my board. People see it and ask what the yellow box with no labels does.I tell them, "It's the voice of God." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
