Members bobby yarrow Posted December 11, 2005 Members Posted December 11, 2005 Ok, so, it was a bit of a job, so forgive me for posting about it. Here's the new pedalboard, all wired up: http://www.theyarrows.com/pedalboard.html Clicks thru to some pics of my modest project studio, if you're curious.
Members Jamison Posted December 11, 2005 Members Posted December 11, 2005 Correct me if I am wrong. I am a little curious becuase it looks like you have an Echo Park and a Memory Lane on the board. Why both? How do they compare? I am looking for a tap tempo delay, and I don't need all of the stuff on the DD-20. Should I just go with the Echo Park, or is the extra $200 dollars really worth it for the Memory Lane?
Members gtrwiz Posted December 11, 2005 Members Posted December 11, 2005 How do you like the Adrenalinn. I've been thinking about getting one, but I've heard that they're kinda tough to program.
Members bobby yarrow Posted December 11, 2005 Author Members Posted December 11, 2005 Hiya. The memory lane and the echo park are pretty different, and I like having a long delay behind a short one. Actually, the echo park is vulnerable to getting bounced, if I can find the right alternative. Sidenote: Here's what I want: a delay pedal the size of the echo park that will do 16 seconds or so of delay, with a switch that functions both for tap-tempo or, if held, as a momentary switch for infinite repeat. What pedal is that? Adrenalinn -- I love the thing. Have never tried using it live, this is an experiment, but it's shown up on half the songs I've been involved with since I bought it.

I like a man who just goes with the peds he likes size be damned. I'd get hung up on the size and power supplies of some of those big suckers but it's a nice set up....
Members murtaghstyle Posted December 11, 2005 Members Posted December 11, 2005 What's the pedal to right of the Memroy Lane and left of the MJM Fuzz?
Members bobby yarrow Posted December 11, 2005 Author Members Posted December 11, 2005 Ah, right. Can't tell. That's a tap-a-whirl. And in the upper right is a mobius, with the adrenalinn in the loop. Huge pedals. Yeah, look at that. 7 of my pedals are as big as a videotape or bigger. Somehow I thought a 36" board would make it easy, but I still have to put {censored} sideways and all that . . .
Members Jamison Posted December 11, 2005 Members Posted December 11, 2005 So why exactly is the Echo Park being bounced? Would it function well as just a basic tap-tempo delay for shorter delay times?
Members bobby yarrow Posted December 11, 2005 Author Members Posted December 11, 2005 Oh, yeah. I like the echo park. I think the tape emulation is darn good, tho I use the digital with no mod. The memory lane sounds like a hifi, God's-own memory man, and the echo park doesn't really do that. But it's a great delay, short or long(ish), with or without a little tape warble.
Members Jamison Posted December 11, 2005 Members Posted December 11, 2005 GAS engaged! Oh, and that looks like a sweet board, btw. Sorry to hijack the thread.
Members figfuggo Posted December 11, 2005 Members Posted December 11, 2005 DoooD! You could have fit at least five more pedals on that board! j/k Actually, how do you keep it all from buzzing and robbing tone when bypassing the effects? That looks like a glorious rig with a nightmare engineering degree required to wire it. Very sweet set of pedals, I might add!
Members Mike_E_McGee Posted December 11, 2005 Members Posted December 11, 2005 Settings on the Voodoo Vibe? It looks like you're using it for trem. I can dial in a good trem sound, but I can never get a great trem sound (I know it's in there).
Members bobby yarrow Posted December 11, 2005 Author Members Posted December 11, 2005 It's mounted on one of them tonebone boneyards. Getting the power supplies and stuff rigged up underneath was a fair bit of work. The pedals are almost all connected on the top of the board. On the bypass question. The gainster is on all the time. I keep a buffered boss pedal near the end to help things out. The rest of the board is actually almost all 'true bypass.' Order, by the way: adrenalinn (in loop) > London > BB-1 > Gainster (always on) > POG > Voodoo Vibe > Tap-a-Whirl > Memory Lane > TU-2 > Moogerfooger phaser (stereo out) > Echo park (stereo in). If I'm living it up, I'm running to 2 amps out of the echo park.

I really want to find the chorus I found once again. I do love it for tremolo tho. Bias at 2 o'clock, a little messing with the symetry, very nice I think.
Members DaSkip Posted December 11, 2005 Members Posted December 11, 2005 Very nice Mr. Yarrow. What will be your board tomorrow! No really, that is a great board.
Members us2bslim Posted December 11, 2005 Members Posted December 11, 2005 Tasteful, with hints of vanilla and woody overtones. Exquisite.
Members bobby yarrow Posted December 11, 2005 Author Members Posted December 11, 2005 Well, thanks. Anybody click thru to the secret studio site?
Members BmoreTele Posted December 11, 2005 Members Posted December 11, 2005 Looking good! As to your delay quest - the closest to your specs (small box, 16 secs, tap tempo, infinite hold) is one of the Maneco units, but they're not that small. Are you using the Mobius as a feedback looper or just for TB?
Members bobby yarrow Posted December 11, 2005 Author Members Posted December 11, 2005 Damn. The nanosampler is exactly what I want. Something's going to have to come off the board . . . On the mobius, I haven't found a feedback setting that works with the adrenalinn yet, but really I just wired it up today. Any thoughts on the matter?
