Such a great chain. This is a desert island setup for me for sure. It does nearly everything I love. The one thing missing is a good solid dedicated oscillating fuzz, but I'd just replace the Shiva clone with an Ab-synth.

this is awesome even in the looks. It really covers a lot of territories. :thumb:

Wanted no more than a backpack's worth of stuff for an improvised set with some friends tomorrow night, so came up with this:

Image

Plus my ancient Boss ME-30 on the floor as a volume pedal and maybe some other tricks. 60 Second Delay and the Zoom are in the FX loop.

Just into headphones here, gonna take a pair of cheapie tiny tabletop amps for the gig.

Managed to do some cool synthing with it: https://clyp.it/iwylmn4m

Your friend is very nice to let you set up your gear on his back. You can't let a long torso like that go to waste!

Nice spread - looks capable of much noise :cool:

@Heraclitus Akimbo - That is a very cool very outside the box set up! Bravo! Bonus points for having a username after my favorite Pre-Socratic Philosopher.

Got the Fabrikat this morning, been testing it a bit during lunchtime in this fun setup. Barely scratched the surface of the first three patches and I am more than amazed, I m gonna be playing with A LOT before I manage to try all the patches. :snax:

Doing some ambient noodling, accidentally made a red themed setup.

Some (LOL "Some" I meant A LOT of) great ideas on this page. Heraclitus, if I may, highly recommend line switcher with a blend. Highly recommend the Copilot Portal Deluxe. I think I have an idea of what you're doing and I think that pedal will add a lot of options to your setup.

Yeah, a fancy line-switcher would be cool to have, but I can get by with the cheapies, seeing as I do most of my send'n'blendin' at the mixer level. (the full rig I have set up right now has three send loops out from the mixer; this one splits and goes back into two separate channels.) The ABY is handy for making background drone loops... I like to make two variations of the same thing that mix with each other but stay out of sync. Full revel of the setup in the NSFW:

I saw a friend doing cool stuff with his EHX 16 Second Delay on Saturday night, so this is what I made when I came home:

Sky ripper -> Arc flash -> #Rip -> Improbability drive-> dark waves-> WTSE -> MS70 -> Ringworm -> Kinkilin

My table has been some variation of this theme a lot lately. Really love having a Rangemaster (from the ripper) for the Arc Flash and I.D. running the rip as a goose or post drive oscillator is pretty rad. Absolutely love the ringworm with low mix and the LFO going, and kinkilin is just bananas.

Something about great power and great responsibility...

Rucci 8bit synth > Mandala > Romferd > outward 2.5 > Fabrikat > Cloudy

Setup from a show with a new trio a few weeks back, I'm slowly getting able to get by with less stuff at gigs. Also trying to do some different stuff in this unit... using the tapes a lot, plus doing some live processing on bandmate's voice + clarinet.

This was the setup I was making the cassette loops for, and put 'em to good use.

Finally got my klein up and running. I made this tabletop board to play with and experiment. Probably will switch things up once I get my head around what I can do with the klein. So far I have cloudy, romferd, and outward in there.

Chain is PurPLL > Charlie Foxtrot > Count to 5 > 856 for Zellersasn > Klein Bottle (cloudy, romferd, outward) > Ditto > SV Boost
