Bit messy right now waiting on some flat cables. Underside is an absolute mess.
Signal path (-> is mono, => is stereo):
Sonic Research ST-300 -> EHX POG2 -> Fairfield Accountant -> Fairfield Unpleasant Surprise -> Field Effects Manifold Drive -> Mooer Blues Crab -> Simplifier MKII --send-> Strymon Nightsky => Keeley Halo => Swindler Red Mountain => Neunaber Expanse (grand hall) => EHX 1440 => Simplifier MKII return.
Plan is to put a Hollogram Microcosm where the 1440 is right now, and get a Singular Sound Aeros looper that will live off the board.
Right now XLR out of Simplifier is going to a Rupert Neve headphone amp but once I clean up the room a bit I’ll have it going into a Scarlett 2i2 for recording.
Also pictured is a gaggle of fuzzes and overdrives I regularly sub in for any of the Unpleasant Surprise, Manifold Drive, and Blues Crab depending on what I’m going for. It’s a bit annoying, but I don’t want a bigger board.
Speaking of: this is two Pedaltrain Nano MAX boards bolted together.
Power supply is a CIOKS DC7 + CIOKS 8 expander.
On the Halo, there’s this review that says:
Although the Halo serves up beautifully stereophonic echo sounds, true left/right stereo repeats are not on the menu
Are the repeats just happening at different speeds on left and right? Can you adjust the speeds?
Correct, they just bounce around and it’s pretty subtle. You can’t adjust the speed either. Check out the Future Factory – allows you to dial all the settings in for each delay separately. It’s an amazing delay and I’m going back to it soon. The Halo sounds phenomenal, but I need more swirl in my washes :D
