Thanks guys, the Aria is a great guitar, solid as fuck, not an actual through body but a bolt on, but still sounds sweet and is hella reliable. I've been half trying to sell the Moog ring mod for a while, but I just can't bring myself to do it. Soon but not just yet.

fitted my new orange foot-switch to my little board. means you can fit an extra pedal on my little MDF board. the MDF is cut to 14"x5.5", same size as the pedaltrain nano. i've stuck my line driver on there to show, it'll fit three comfortably. i've got a parcel arriving later with a new toy to try out later.

just a little sweetener to the sound, it does leslie tones and subtle thickening.

sounds exciting, anything to do with the vibe stuff you were posting about recently?

Glad that footswitch got things sorted for you! That really clears up a lot of space for you.

I need to put up an updated pic. Need to build me some sort of master bypass for my board. Something so that I can keep all of my plug-ins on top so that the board is maintained.

Kinda, but not expensive and it's small. keep seeing it on youtube and really liked it. just needed something for a bit of texture in a few songs.

Pickle Vibe?

Progrockabuse · Post by **Progrockabuse** » Tue Jan 11, 2011 11:29 am

Nope, not that small and pricey

They're definitely small! I'd love to see someone with an 1590a sized pedalboard. The Pickle vibe isn't very subtle either, doesn't fit the cheap bill either ironically.

Laney HCM120 + SAI 2x12 + SAI 4x12
Hartke LH500 + Marshall Bass 4x12 + (currently fucked) Acoustic 4x12 Bass cab

80s built Encore bass (Indian factory from what I've read), with Dimarzio Split P pickup and no knobs (cause I was lazy)

New MBM 4 knob Machine clone - sounds fucking amazing, so unbelievably harsh and other sounding.

NEW current pedal set up for new 2 piece 'HAPPINESS'

Encore P-Bass into Hardwire Stereo Delay/Looper (used to split signals)

one side > POG2 (+1 and +2 all the way up, everything else down (for fake guitar from bass sound)) > MBM Machine > Dwarfcraft Eau Claire Thunder > ON/OFF bypass looper (used to mute guitar amp) > Laney stack

other side > Dwarfcraft Great Destroyer > Boss Bass Overdrive > red/blue led feedback looper (used to mute bass amp) > Hartke stack.

that looks like it could mess someone up who had a delicate disposition wwrrss. Are you taping you upcoming performance?

I aim to displease.

The other lad in Happiness is a fan of filming absolutely everything he ever does so I should imagine so.

I haven't posted an update here in a while, but here's a photo taken last night at our studio/practice space. It was taken with my phone in low light, so it's pretty terrible -- but you get the idea.

Pictured: Classic Player Jaguar (with AVRI pickups, thank you very much) -> Boss TU-2, EHX POG2, EHX Germanium O.D., EHX Big Muff NYC, MXR Distortion+, EHX Stereo Pulsar, EHX Small Clone, and Boss RE-20 Space Echo -> '73 Fender Vibrosonic Reverb.
Moog Little Phatty Stage -> EHX Memory Toy -> PA system with 18" JBL full-range speakers.

I've made a few changes to the board since the last update. I've found I don't use the EHX Micro Synth with this band as much since getting the Moog, and I like to have a bit more aggressive sound than the SD-1 can give me. I keep the Germanium O.D. on pretty much all the time with a slightly voltage-starved setting to trash up my clean sound a bit, then use the Big Muff to drive things off the cliff when appropriate. I kind of aped the Big Muff into Distortion+ idea from Steve Turner, who used them in this way the last time I saw Mudhoney a few years back; it sounds great. I haven't used the Big Muff regularly in a band in years, and it's awesome to have it back on the board again. I'd really like to try out the Bass Big Muff, as I dig the clean blend option it has.
