FANTASYBOARDS (show 'em off, mans!)

[Eivind August]

So, it's way too hot to do anything other than pedalfaping. Therefore I asketh of thou: if you were to make a board from scratch, maybe even with stuff you wouldn't normally use, what would you put on it?

Like, to nail a specific toan or just go way overboard with a sound, or to cop the vibes from some famous guitarist.

Examples:
LAL Super Oscillo -> AB Synth -> TGD -> Unpleasant Surprise (the oscillating family)

Fuck -> The Elements -> Cosmichorus -> No Memory -> Afterneath (teh ILF GAStasy)

Klon -> Freekish Blues overdrive -> Roland Space Echo (yeah, uhm)

i want to build a noise rig solely out of the entire Lastgasp Art Laboratories lineup. I don't even know what order i would put them in until i tried it though.


other ideas:
Fuck Overdrive -> Harmonic Percolator -> Infanem Driving Notion -> Trongraphic Boxidizer (Albini's final form)

DMM -> DMM -> modded DMM -> DMM (the rustywire special)

pick 30 items under $50 in guitar center's used section (maximum 3 dirt pedals) and put them all on a huge board in a random order (nick reinhart circa ~2007)

loop synth tones drones?
Sustain Shaman -> GR55 (w/GK3) -> EP3 -> Boomerang

Might need distortion/modulation in there. Not sure what all the GR55 is capable of.

FOD into Harmonic Perc was awesome. MINI into Harmonic Perc was even better to get those Shellac tones.

As far as a fantasy board goes, I'm pretty well there on my secondary board. I just like a lot of options.

Fantasy board:

Guitar -> Polytune Mini -> Dyna Comp -> Buzz Box -> 6/10 band EQ -> Super Duper -> Fat Sandwich -> BitQuest -> Hall of Fame (full size) -> RAT -> Sonic Maximizer -> Goodbye 24 -> Meet Maude -> No Memory -> Mobius -> Timeline -> BigSky -> DL4 -> DL4

Expression control on the BitQuest, Goodbye 24, Meet Maude, No Memory, Mobius, Timeline, and BigSky, somehow

Whammy - Second voice - Mini - Unpleasant Surprise - MASF Raptio - MASF Possessed - Goodbye 24

Glitchfest '14

I'm halfway to achieving this, BTW.

Fantasy, but not necessarily fantastical - an all EHX board. I'd also total rock an a Industrialectric and/or MTL board.

i want to build a noise rig solely out of the entire Lastgasp Art Laboratories lineup...
...(Albini's final form)...
...(the rustywire special)

I would go dual PT2/Pro setup (like jwar) only all OEM:

Board 1: Dallas Arbiter NKT275 Fuzz Face > Tycobrahe Octavia > Vox Italian Clyde Wah > Shin Ei Uni Vibe > EHX Reverse v6 Muff > Effectrode phase-O-matic deluxe > FS to '63 Fender Spring Reverb tank > FS for Binson Echorec
Board 2: 6 DMMs. (3) pre-bankruptcy 5-knobbers, (1) Stereo Memory Man, (1) Blueface 4-knobber, (1) 90s 5-knobber heavily modded and loaded with (4) MN3005s

All-Moog board:
Backrow: Moogerfoogers....Low Pass > 104z > 12stage Phaser > Clusterflux
Frontrow: Minifoogers....Drive > Trem > Delay > Ring mod > Boost

Original Way Huge:
Foot Pig > Purple Platypus > Camel Toe > Aqua Puss > Blue Hippo > Tone Leper > Super Puss (Yeah riiiiiight!)

[frigid midget]

An all-vintage/classic board would actually give me a huge boner. Something like rustywire's board 1.

EHX Ram's head muff, Fuzz face, Tonebender, Univox Superfuzz, UniVibe, EHX deluxe memoryman, Boss CE-1, Mu-tron Bi-phase.

Obviously not in that order. Outside of the board, I'd also include a couple non-pedal effects: Binson Echorec and Roland RE-201.

MOBIUS->MOBIUS->MOBIUS.

PP I expected more of you...

[Achtane]

I want to record a cover of "When You Sleep" using a mic'd vacuum cleaner and several pitch shifting pedals.

[rfurtkamp]

Let's see. Going to need several things and a roadie to move it around even the apartment. Order isn't indicative of pedal order, will run PTPro>Grande 1/2 L/R split into L/R racks with stereo outs on both into a Jazz Chorus and BF-type Twin Reverb with JBLs.

2 16U racks (12U effects, 4U patchbay/power conditioner+light).

Rack 1: 2x Quadraverb+, 2 Digitech RDS-8000 delays, Boss GL-100 "Guitar Driver", Lexicon Vortex, Eventide H8000, Roland SRE-555 Chorus Echo
Rack 2: Boss GL-100 "Guitar Driver", Lexicon PCM90 , Roland SRE-555 Chorus Echo, TC 2290 rackmount with full memory upgrades, 2x Alesis Midiverb 2

2 PT Grande, 1 PT Pro

PT Pro (master channel): Roland GR-55 + midi controller for it and the racks. Footswitches for SRE-555s/GL-100/RDS8ks. Master channel fuzz/gain boxes into a 4 box switcher with selectable A/B/AB routing out: Ampeg Scrambler, NoisekickFX Guano Loco 3-in-1 (oct fuzz/warp delay/stutter trem), Fender Blender, Devi Test Pattern

PT Grande #2: Moog Ring Mod (not the small cheapie), EHX Frequency Analyzer (big box + LED mod), Roland Bee Baa, Devi Test Pattern, Basic Audio Lucky Number, Basic Audio Wildkat, Boss FRV-1 reverb, Idiotbox stutter pedal, EHX Electric Mistress in bypass switcher w/LED, Tonebender Mk2, Rangemaster-type booster (pretty agnostic on who/what/where), Boss PS-2

PT Grande #3: Boss ME-6B (synth patches galore), Devi Test Pattern (yes, I know 3 of the same in the pile overall), Rangemaster-type booster, Boss HM-2, DoD Performer-era 18v "Phasor" big box, Digitech Timebender x 2, Devi Disaster w/switch, Devi Don't Fear the Noise, EHX Microsynth (old, in looper w/LED), Fuzzhugger Velcroar, a big fucking LED clock to tell time, and a pony. Ok, skip the pony.

That would about cover what I want to do. Maybe. I might need a third rack though.

Considering my current, non-dream rig is nearly as insane, probably.

[zRobertez]

I would probably fill it with all of the deluxe Subdecay and Solid Gold pedals. All the Greenhouse dirt pedals. And all of the ILF faves I've never tried, Elements, TAFM, mini, Cosmi, Grand Orbiter. Nothing realistically practical or affordable but funtasy!

A board with the whole LAL lineup as well as the whole MASF lineup, all etched with anime graphics of tentacle rape...
