Maynard is random enough that it's not unthinkable.

I want another great heavy sounding dirt pedal. Not fuzz though - I don't need the wall of sound. Not sure it's distortion or that type of chainsaw tone. I'm just looking for huge deep sounding dirt.

Thoughts? Behemoth II maybe?

Behemoth II is what you seek, goes from light grit and tone shaping to cranked tube amp grind.
Really versatile pedal, but it shines when the heavy shit comes out.

Random YouTube find...this is why we NEED the internet!

lol. yeah. that's. cool 'un.

every time i see something like that, it's a reminder how if MMA has taught us anything, it's to be verrrrry careful who you start a fight with. cats that look all innocuous and chubby end up being these huge monolithic destruction beasts when they rip off their sweater vests.

Especially when people mistake you for Frank Mir.

lol. THAT. was CONFUSING.

Sobbat Bass Breaker

Just watched your demo man. I like it!

And seeing I just spotted one for $99 as a blowout price, I've grabbed one.

Behemoth is still on the cards. The $60ish shipping to Australia on it burns a bit but I know the pedal is worth the price.

yay! pedalboard is GO. was pretty sure it wasn't the cables, i tested them as i built them, thought all the power supply was good, but i'm a git. there's three outputs in a row where they are EITHER DC at 9v, DC at switchable from 12/15v or AC switchable from 9/12v. AND a dipswitch to decide if the AC or DC is active. i had one thing plugged into the AC, the M9 plugged into the DC. fixed it, everything's golden.

also, the Source BEF Pro does NOT like to be on a daisy chain. NOISEY. and having the ring receiver in gets even louder.

also also, i have some noticeable noise when either loop is engaged vs bypassed bass -> Rusty, but it's pretty quiet. i don't think i care enough to see if i can fix it.

i am HAPPY. the Loop 01 > Loop 02 or Loop 02 -> Loop 01 option is NEAT.

You can't ramble about your board without posting pics and detailing your signal chain.

hee. silly BOOTS. i think i put this up a few pages back? didna want to put it in the pedalboard thread until i got the Organizer back.

sooooo.... before -



now -



the Elements up top (third from the left top row) is a placeholder for the Organizer (off to Danno for PURTIFY'IN'S), and after practice i might swap the Pitch Grinder and Bug. Grinder kills the Bug's..... Bug'ness.

bass ->
Loop 01 = Heavy Machine -> B3k -> Bug -> Pitch Grinder -> Brain Freeze -> Faye Sing -> Oxide
Loop 02 = BEF Pro -> Timeline -> M9 -> Organizer (SOOOOOOON) -> Nimbus
-> Rusty

looper has a momentary stab switch as well as a latching on Loop 01, and a switch to change order from Loop 01 -> Loop 02 to Loop 02 -> Loop 01. Expressionator goes to Brain Freeze, Faye Sing and Timeline, Mission expression pedal has another output to the M9.

it's.... it's GOOD. lol. i flubbed half our set at practice 'cause i don't know where anything fucking IS anymore, but it'll come. YAY!

Board looks awesome Ben!

I'm kind of surprised that the M9 gets playing time amongst all of the other really cool options you have there. Is there anything it does in particular that the other peds can't cover?

Now that you've gigged a bit with the mono, how's it and your pedz holding up Behndiggity?

10 Bucks - i LOVE the M9. there's some stuff it sucks butts at, like dirt and more filters, but i just leave it on the same page. so for about the real estate as 3 pedals it's 6 pedz, a tuner, and a looper. it's octaver is up there with any analog octaver i've used, the pitch glide is good and silly, and it has a sample hold filter patch that's pretty much a SubDecay Proteus, with more options. so i leave it with those 3, a trem that's got a rate multiplyer with the expression pedal and 2 other silly noise patches. well worth the space.

Greighgorohgoahghhghrorarohgh - dood. Mono bag is AWESOME. i'm careful, but i've put drum hardware on it, every day i take gear from my house it's in the back seat with my bass (Mono OG bass bag) on top of it... never had a problem. so much lighter than the hard case, my settings on the pedz never get wonked out, padded as black grrL butts. it's SOOOOOOO much better than that shitty soft bag that comes with it.

i heart Mono.

I love that board. So awesome that you don't have to use the Brain Freeze wall wart. The way that thing juts out is just....inconvenient. That change order switch must come in useful with all that swag in the loops. Do you use it a lot or do you tend to keep it in line the way you have it? Just curious about what pedals you like to use in front or behind others.

welllllll..... JUST got that looper setup yesterday, after having it for about 6 months because i'm a lazy IDIOT, so havna played with it much. was using it with the Oxide and the Trem patch on the M9. was pretty fun playing the same riff both directions (GIGGETY) with them. but yeah, it's a really cool idea, it might come in super handy.

urf. Brain Freeze so GOOD. was playing with a kinda fasta tapped arp'y line with it slowly opening and closing, all synth arp style, looked up and Paul was like "yeah. YEAH. do THAT.". made me happppppy.

but yeah, fuck the OG power supply for it. Ciokolate is so BEAST.
