Use Dual Lock As A Pedal Riser
Переглядів 4752 місяці тому
🚨 WARNING 🚨 Don’t use dual lock and loop Velcro unless the pedal is going to be a near-permanent fixture on your board. It’s incredibly difficult to remove once attached! Use 2 or 3 layers of dual lock as a low riser for your next pedalboard build! It’s easy, cheap, height adjustable and you can run cables underneath.

Avoid 7 Cable Method (2 amp FX loops)!

UA OX Vs. The Real Amp and Cab
Переглядів 6644 місяці тому
I was just curious to be honest. If I got as many factors as close as possible, would my Vox AC30 Pre-amp and Power amp fed into a UA OX (a Speaker / Room and Mic simulator) sound better than the same Vox AC30 Pre-amp power amp into a real cab mic and room. Obviously this is far from a perfect test. There are factors I can't replicate. 1. The outboard gear UA used when recording their AC30 cab ...

Can you make a cable faster than me? Soldered vs. solderless
Funny, I used TWO IKEA GRIMAR tablet holders. Joined them with a metal brace underneath;stuck some adhesive contact paper with a wood-like texture and in black. Stuck some velcro and voila! instant slanted pedalboard like you see on those cool UA-cam channels!
Is it just me or is there just absolutely nothing special about this at all?...
Super helpful, thanks!
Probably the only reason why I don’t bought a QC. The poor power supply setup.
I love my ML10X - can swap pedal order on the fly (or run pedals in any combination of parallel). This has done so much for my sound and options.
That's really cool. Is it just me or have other guitarists learned to read from right to left? I find it so confusing to use a looper where my pedal order goes left to right on it, while the actual pedals go right to left. Yes, I know you talked about this in one of the Chairmen podcasts. But I just can't. Haha. I need my switcher to go right to left.
this one the Quartermaster is upside down to make the graphic work.
@@GoodwoodAudio Oh shoot! No wonder! Haha. I just went to the GigRig site to take a look! Different strokes for different folks. Glad this customer found a good solution!
What a killer board.I need a simple patchbay to go under a pedaltrain. In/Out a loop for placing occasional effects (volume pedal etc) between drives & delays and verbs and power thru for powering something at the side of the board. Suggestions?
We make Audition for a patch / insert point in the way you describe. goodwoodaudio.com/products/audition?variant=32441404751919
Was hoping to hear it
hey if i have a preamp pedal not a simulator would i put that at the end of the chain
totally up to you. I'd experiment with it very early in your chain, after your last dry effect and you could also try it after your last wet effect as well. All will have different results depending on what you're after. In teh middle of the chain tends to be a good spot if you're using it with an amp sim.
At 3:34 you say "we go from out LAST dry effect.." besides coming in clean straight from the guitar, what other 'dry' effects are there?
its been so long I honestly dont' remember what I used. Most likely a compressor and a light OD - I tend to grab a TS9 but it's really more about the 'theory' of how to run an FX Loop anyway... You put your gain (dry pedals) before the amp input in most scenarios which is why I referenced the dry fx / last dry effect.
I prefer dual mono, after watching this I am considering stereo but have many questions
Acs win
You mention at the beginning control "Midi-enabled devices" but then later mentioned other non-midi pedals - will this work with my old Boss classic non-midi pedals?
so the switchboard has midi out (for midi pedals) and also a function switch (basically a physical switch you can program to close / open per preset etc)... so with the function switch you can control external non midi pedals that tend to work with external switch control (amp channel switching, AB pedals that can be controlled by remote etc)
@@GoodwoodAudio Sounds like a strong maybe. :) thank you!!
what about the voodoo power supplies?
so long as you have a 24v outlet with plenty of power / current supply, you can do it.
I just did this using my LR baggs pickup with the first effect being the cab simulator to modulated reverb, and my TC Helicon boost as last. This was after a million combinations. It soun!ds really good like this.
good idea!
Can I use the Crux with a truetone CS6 To power up a quad ?
you can't, no. You need a 24v output with enough current to supply the QC.
So I really love the thought of this, but will this interfere with the way the input buffers wind up operating if I go to the passive in and then through a bunch of effects before the buffer?
Typically you'd only go through effects that don't want to see a buffer anyway... So the trade-off is another foot or 2 of cable (negligible) or running into a buffer sensitive pedal first (not good). Great question though - but to be clear, it's really not a big deal at all in the context of the problem you're trying to solve.
Nice clear demonstration. I prefer the sound of the buffer before the fuzz.
thanks!
Really appreciate the flow of the video with the examples & graphics. ✌︎('ω')
thanks!
i got a new boss rc5 looper and im struggling to get a good sound quality when i loop wit the drum machine, should i get stereo cables????
Im not sure stereo would fix this... Depends on what you mean by bad sound quality. I'd check with Boss first / read the manual to see if there are any settings you can adjust to help with this!
That’s what I should’ve got you to build me Grant!
This is my favourite custom junction so far, wow!!
thanks!
Nice!🤟🏻
I purposely limit myself to a fender pro mefium board to keep me focused on playing.
All about this!
I'm not sure if it's been asked, but can you bypass the unit completely by, say, pressing the active preset switch a second time? I have a hotone patch kommander that only selects any given preset of four, but in case you want to bypass all efects you need to have a set preset without any active loop, which is one less preset to rely on.
that's actually a very good question. Im not too sure - it's been a while since I made this video and there may have been some software updates since I put this out. I think you may have to do the preset approach like you suggested
Boost after modulation prevents the increased volume from overloading your modulation pedals, a fact that seems to escape the minds of most.
nice!
i've got both of these pedals on my pedalboard, and i'm a bassist, lol. The Benson boost is the first thing on my pedalboard. Sometimes it just stays on all the time at unity gain to thicken and juice up my tone going into all the pedals. Sometimes I use it as a preset cut when engaged for parts of the song that need to be a little quieter. Sometimes it stays on all the time in a slightly boosted setting just to overdrive od pedals later in the chain and/or the preamp tubes in my amp. The vertex is at the end of the chain mainly being used as a 100 ohm buffer for the long cable run back to the amp. I do use it occasionally with it on and boosting the signal back to the amp just for more boost when the Benson's boost is being absorbed in the overdrive and other pedals. I also do have a volume pedal going into the Vertex volume effect in which makes for a great volume pedal which doesn't affect your core tone. Your guitar doesn't actually run through the volume pedal this way. Both boosts are great in what they both do
very cool!
How can I contact your Vancouver shop? Where is the location of it?
Hey. Email us at info@goodwoodaudio.com - In Maple Ridge!
(singing in my head) "Custom Junction what's your function...."
Punch with stock cab A is best. Don't throw your money down some rabbit hole. Sorted.
Do you have something like this on your website?
Closest would be the Wet Dry Wet box… but it also has some extras on it. We can do a free call and talk through what you might need!
Masterful cable work. Interesting to see a build like this without squareplugs - I suppose as long as the soldering is good it doesn't matter too much - but it looks as though they are longer than they could be.
Thanks. Square plugs are great, but not always the best option depending on a few factors. How cable channels are run, spacing on the switchers and pedals etc. Thanks for checking it out.
@@GoodwoodAudio You guys know your stuff! It's glorious to see. What are the straight connectors on the junction box?
I love this. After collecting pedals and amps for years, I have finally decided to minimise my setup and just focus on playing and recording. I've gone ampless (using amp-sims within my Mac/DAW) but also a hybrid-analog approach keeping my favourite of each type of pedal effect in an outboard rack unit and switching them as inserts to the DAW wirelessly via MIDI. Currently part-way through the build but already loving it.
cool idea!
amazing
perfect.. these guys think of everything.
This video is absolutely perfect on so many levels.
thanks!
That's useful - but how do we test the quality of the cable connection? i.e. resistance level - this determines weak vs strong connections, right? When learning to solder I've made cables with only one or two strands of tip or ring signal connected and they still pass this multi beep test - but I know the connection is weak. How do we get more granularity on the quality of connection? Thanks
hoesntly.. you could use resistance to test this, but even with a few strands connected, you'll get a good reading. The best way if you're concerned about this, test with resistance and then also give the connections a visual inspection.
What advice do you have for building a pedal rack to run stereo pedals before and after a DAW based software amp-sim insert within an outboard pedal rack unit? It would be going into a stereo-in instrument level audio interface (with separate stereo line level I/O for the post-amp effects). I am looking at the Radial EXTC Stereo and Morningstar ML10X MIDI switcher - and then using the Radial as one of the assignable loops to place between dry and wet loops. Do you foresee any grounding or impedance issues?
Definitely possible to run into grounding issues here... But to be honest, I'd probably build the rig first in this instance and then if you get a loop, troubleshoot it after it's built. Main reason being - assuming you're committed to this rig - you may not get any grounding issues at all. But then if you do, you can find the source and isolate it with something like Buzzkill (on our site) or other similar units. The Radial gear is awesome. Their Re-Amp stuff is really well thought through.
@@GoodwoodAudio Thankyou for that. Makes a lot of sense. I think a Radial purchase is always a great investment as well. The worst I can see is whether I would need to ground the input and output jacks on the rack panel (to the panel) or not before they go to and from the interface - which I think is an easy fix. Best regards and love your work.
Another Great Job Man 🎸🎸🎸
Great Job Man 🎸🎸🎸
This was the video I was looking for🙌. If I ran the stereo effects after the iridium and into my interface to record, would I still switch the iridium to stereo?
totally up to you at that point. Iridium doesn't do a whole lot for a stereo signal in and of itself... so I have a feeling youd be hard pressed to notice a difference.
@@GoodwoodAudioAwesome, thanks!
Great Job Man ❤❤❤
When you don’t have any of the wet effects turned on, how do you keep the dry signal from coming through the wet send?
wet effects are on in parts of this video. I just turned the mix up / effect level all the way up so there was no dry.
Very good video. Concise, informative and on point. ❤
I’m wondering how to setup an expression pedal with a midi baby 3 to work various Strymon pedals?
I havent touched a midi baby in ages. I'd reach out to Disaster Area! They'd get you sorted really quickly.
The York Audio KW 412 M25-SH IR, for my taste, does everything from clean to crunchy better than any other IR that I've heard in person or demonstrated on UA-cam -- with headphones. It's like they got the mic placement in the sweet spot and all of the other variables right.
ya Ive heard a few people talk very positively about the York stuff! I need to get into it.
