Hey geargoons. What's the most elegant and cost-effective way to send the wet sound from my EHX Freeze pedal to a different amp when I use it onstage?

Different amp but not your main amp? Some kind of blender pedal that splits your guitar into another path which runs into the freeze, and into the other amp. This of course would also have your dry sound going into the other amp until you froze it, but you could most certainly just kill that side of the signal until you want it back. Could be cool to have the frozen signal cut on and off via a killswitch too.

Trade your Freeze for a Superego. It has a separate wet output. Go from the Send right to the amp. For fun, put a POG or something in there.

What's a good portable amp modeler I can run directly into a pa? I don't need a lot of options and different amps, rather one good clean sounding and feeling amp. I'm running more of a DJ set but with live guitar/beat/vocal looping. I was thinking of a pocketpod or maybe one of the sansamp character series.

Pro tip: if you have pedals that take different kinds of power supplies, mark the connectors in some way so you know which go where. Bread ties can be good for this. In related news, does anyone know where I can fix a fried Moogerfooger?

Hey guys, do you know anything about mixers and live sound? I'm just about done with my rig planning and I want to make sure it's up to snuff.  I don't know exactly how I should route everything into the looper and then to a house PA or monitor. The looper is a Roland RC 505 that takes a mic input, aux in, and instrument in. The only outputs are stereo 1/4 line outs.  It seems like my options are ditching the mixer and adjusting all of the levels on the looper, or running everything into the mixer and simply sending the mixer output into the looper as a single prebalanced instrument input, then send the looper out to the PA. If I get a mixer with an effect send can I use the looper as an "effect" and then send each track to it? I'm new to mixers and live sound like this in general so I'm a little lost. I'd also like to pick myself up a speaker that can be used for dialing in settings and balancing all of the sounds through this rig. I don't know if I need a monitor, a PA, or what. The big thing is that my at home sound through this speaker should be pretty close to the sound I'll get live. I'd also like the speaker large enough where I can play an open mic or small club show with it as my primary speaker.

for an fx mixer, i find its helpful to patch the fx out into fx, and then run each effect back into its own channel. i dont use the effect returns, personally

I'll try it out when I get a mixer though. If I have my own mixer for balancing my channels, is there a way to send control of these tracks to whatever house sound guy may be present? Or could I just let me use my mixer?

Does anyone have experience with Temple Pedalboards? They have you use special plates that stick to the back of your pedals rather than velcro. I like the idea, but I'd rather not have to buy a plate for every single pedal I own if I want to switch some stuff out. Wondering how reusable the adhesive is on the plates. Demo video here.

I just got that Malekko Diabolik and I haven't gotten a chance to use it at practice but it seems crazy (unity gain on the clean blend is at 9 o'clock!). The silver one is a 4ms tremolo.

I'd like to get a looper pedal for guitar practice, what would be a good one? Edit: also, something like the Digitech Trio seems pretty ace for practicing, but it's quite expensive and not a looper, right? Wengy fucked around with this message at 08:00 on Jun 25, 2015 |

Yeah use the volume knob because then you're not tied to standing at your pedalboard. Turn up the gain, maybe some delay and remember that the feed backed note is always going to be a harmonic of the note being fretted.

What's the power supply of choice around here? I've just been given a couple of pedals by a friend and I already had a couple. Should I just do an octopus cable thing or one of those fancy looking isolated multi out ones?

Thanks for the suggestions, so what would be the benefit of spending quite a bit more on the second option? Flexibility? Reliability?

The outputs on the PP2+ (and every power supply in that price range) are individually isolated with separate transformers for each output. All of the cheap $40-ish ones (even if they say "isolated") have a single output transformer and all the outputs share a single ground.

The one I linked has status LEDs at least, the LEDS turn red if there is an issue with one of the outputs. But, like all power supplies the dearer ones are best, I just needed one in a hurry and so far it has surprised me in a good way. Edit: I've just checked the specs and it has 10 isolated outputs, maybe the manufacturer is bullshitting and the reviews are wrong, it's possible, but there you go. peter gabriel fucked around with this message at 01:30 on Jul 6, 2015 |

It has a single 18V DC input, and the only transformer is in the wall wart. Power supplies with isolated outputs necessarily have to have AC supplied to the unit. Also, it's the exact same unit that Joyo sells with their branding, and that doesn't have isolated outputs either. I should note: isolated outputs aren't really a big deal unless you get some bad ground loops. A lot of people get by just fine with a daisy-chained 1spot.

I do believe you It's been awesome so far but the plan was always to get a voodoo one really, I'll keep this one as well though as a back up, with the gigs coming up I can't really afford to gently caress around. And it has to be said that without this thread I'd have been ignorant to this stuff so thanks

The cheap one is what I use. It's served me ok but certain pedals are noisy with it.

I just use a 1spot, but I have a small pedalboard and have avoided things that are extra finicky with power. I may upgrade to whichever Cioks fits under a Pedaltrain Mini, but only because I'd like to be able to send 18v to my Proton for more headroom.

I use a onespot, too and it's fine, but I do keep my more current hungry digital stuff on their own power supplies. I'm not sure if this is out yet ( http://www.jimdunlop.com/product/iso-brick ) but it seems to have a better split of high current taps than the pedal power stuff.

Ok cool I'll probably just go with the cheapest choice there as they all seem to do the same job... Next up: phasers and reverb Is there any reason to look harder than the mxr phase 90, given that it's so cheap, ubiquitous, and just has one knob which is all i really need I also want a reverb. I want to be able to add just a touch of reverb to my gain sounds, but I also want one with more play for cleans. I don't want to buy 2 so I'll just buy a supernatural or whatever that other cool digitech one is, but if there's a reverb i could get that has two settings for a reasonable price that would be cool. thanks yall

The only real difference in volume pedals will be powered vs. passive. Passive pedals use a pot that will eventually wear out like a wah, powered tend to be optical which won't.

Has a couple really fancy settings, and the demos of it tend to be dripping wet super ambient show-offs, but it really, really does do it for a light reverb. I'm still all  over what a little whiff of the Spring mode does in the loop of my amp for dirty, bit more for clean. The Polara is the other Digitech offering, and while cool, it seems slightly less good for the subtle.
