Members Mytola Posted May 19, 2008 Members Share Posted May 19, 2008 Just got a new pedal in the mail! This is an ABY-box, with volume controls for each output as well. I wanted this to have a bit more of a flexible setup, and to have a bit more control over the levels. Big thanks to RSB, who hooked me up with Michael Hermes, who built the pedal for me. Michael is a very nice and helpful guy indeed! Here is a pic of how the board looks like now. I am going to get a Red Witch Moon Phaser to fill the space to the left of the power supply, and then the board will be finished. (At least until I get some more GAS... you all know how that is...) Signal path is: Bass > EBS MultiComp > EBS OctaBass > Custom ABY Custom ABY A channel > EBS Microbass II channel A with a bit of bass and treble boost Custom ABY B channel > EBS MultiDrive > EBS Microbass II channel B with a bit of mid boost EBS Microbass II > Peterson Strobostomp II > Mixer/PA and amp. The Moon Phaser is going to go in the FX loop of the microbass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members t3ch Posted May 19, 2008 Members Share Posted May 19, 2008 So is it like a limiter switch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mytola Posted May 19, 2008 Author Members Share Posted May 19, 2008 So is it like a limiter switch? The ABY, no. Just a splitter with on/off switches and volume controls for each output. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RSBro Posted May 19, 2008 Members Share Posted May 19, 2008 Yeah it's got passive volume controls for each, similar to the Boss LS-2. Mine was the first public "prototype", and it's been awesome so far. I'm thinking about getting him to build me a bigger one, more spread out, as my big ol feet sometimes have trouble hitting those tiny little knobs. Glad it worked out for you man! Michael is a super cat indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mytola Posted May 19, 2008 Author Members Share Posted May 19, 2008 Yep, Michael knows what he's doing. I just ordered the Moon Phaser now. It will arrive in a week or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Optimus Prime Posted May 19, 2008 Members Share Posted May 19, 2008 My HBE Hematoma should be here in the next few days.Psyched!!! I'm gonna need to know what you think of that when you get it. I want a new OD and it's between the MultiDrive and Hematoma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RSBro Posted May 19, 2008 Members Share Posted May 19, 2008 Bass-Drive. Cool.That's what I was using before my Analogman TS9DX, so I'll let you know.And just FYI, that Ibby blew away the Fulltone, hands down. I've heard great things about the HBE. And from their other pedals I have or have tried, my expectations will be fulfilled, easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitargod0dmw Posted May 19, 2008 Members Share Posted May 19, 2008 I want to know how that Moon Phaser works out for you! I'm very curious about the Red Witch stuff...but not curious enough to pay for it just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Should probably do this somewhere else so I don't mess up Mytolas thread. PM your way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I kept the Ibby I was going to get a clean boost pedal anyhow, and this does both, so might as well try it out. I should be getting it in today or tomorrow. I'll test it out and then shoot ya a PM back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very curious about the Red Witch stuff...but not curious enough to pay for it just yet. I've been very excited about that one as well. Greg over at Rocketmusic tried it out quite extensively today before he sold me one, and he really loved it. I'm going to record some clips which probably are going to be put up on the Red Witch site. Ben Fulton (owner of Red Witch) liked the idea of having some clips of the pedal being used with bass on the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mytola Posted June 5, 2008 Author Members Share Posted June 5, 2008 Bump for pedal-arrival! Moon Phaser is in, and on the board. Damn, that thing sounds nice. It can be very subtle and natural, but when you run a octaver and overdrive in front of it: Synth mayhem! I'm really happy with it! Here is an updated pic of the board: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RSBro Posted June 5, 2008 Members Share Posted June 5, 2008 That is a clean board my friend! How is that switcher working out for you? I'm about to get him to build me another one, more like yours, and just get rid of the Master Bypass switch, and move the "volume" knobs further up. My feet hit those things all the time.

Switcher is still great. Been through several gigs, and no complaints at all. Clean and dirt-blending is just so awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mytola Posted June 5, 2008 Author Members Share Posted June 5, 2008 Recorded a couple of clips now. Two are with just the phaser, and two are with a octaver and overdrive in front of it, to get a bit synthy! Settings on the pedal are a bit different between the clips. Here are the clips: Medium phase, cleanFast phase, cleanMedium phase, FXFast phase, FX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
