New music room and toys

Pfl?yd · Post by **Pfl?yd** » Thu Feb 05, 2009 11:03 pm

I finally got done remodeling my music room and getting some stuff in it. It's certainly far more inviting as a creative space than the "autopsy room white" that it used to be. Got rid of the shitty light fixture and put some track lights in there for added ambiance.

New electronic drumset:

New bass rig:

Instruments and pedalboard:

It's good to be the Pfl?yd.

Yeah, I haven't dragged it back in from the garage though. A bunch of mixers, preamps, a recording interface, a pile of mics and stands, headphone amp and some other shit.

This room really sealed the deal when I looked at this house. All the interior walls are about four inches from the outer wall, the cabinets on the one end are huge inside and make great isolation chambers for amps, the basement is completely underground except for the garage and, as a result, there is very little noise that gets outside. It was perfect.

Umm, it's neither. It's a Yamaha kit, not a Roland.

Did you put your power amp on 10 for the picture?

I always run power amps wide open. A power amp is always running full regardless of where your attenuator is set anyway. I control the real volume at the preamp so the speakers are always getting enough power regardless of what the signal level is.

How are avatar's? I use to think about getting one before I went with a Matamp.

What's your pedal setup?

I've got a behringer 450w bass head sitting in my storage still covered in plastic.

I love the Avatars so far. the 2x12 especially since it really gets the low end out there but with a faster response than 15's. That's important for me.

My pedalboard is ever-changing depending on what I'm doing. Right now I'm using several Boss pedals--an acoustic simulator, phaser, bass flanger, Metal Zone and bass EQ--Electro-Harmonix Bass Microsynth and Q-tron+, A Carl-Martin Hot Drive n' Boost, DOD bass overdrive, and a Tonebone effects switching system to help me handle huge changes between two separate effects loops. In some situations I'm doing a lot of tap-dancing. After all that a BBE direct box runs the effects signal into the 2x10 channel of my power amp and there is a clean signal that runs to the 2x12 channel so I have a nice mix.

That's why I have a double-deep garage.

And I don't like sitting around on my ass watching other people move and living vicariously through them. I'd rather go outside and go hiking, ride my bike, or other such things myself.

fl?yd how do you find dod pedals?

I've been wanting to try some of their generic effects like compressors and stuff since they're cheaper than boss and other 'retail store' brands at my local store but I've heard mixed reviews about them.

Don't be envious that all your hard work will be draining into a fuck-trophy instead of into things you love and enjoy.

You won't find them now. Digitech bought out DOD and now they are the ones who release the old DOD pedals under their name. Personally, the DOD/Digitech pedals aren't all that awesome; I generally find one specific use for them and that's about it.

If you want to try out a bunch of stuff for cheap, I'd suggest one of those Zoom multieffects pedals. They aren't built to take a beating or anything, but they sound just fine and you can always upgrade to a Boss (or even Electro-Harmonix) for the effects you really like.

croninburg · Post by **croninburg** » Tue Feb 10, 2009 2:12 pm

The Boss GT series (i think that's what their multi effects are called) are really good. I have a Korg AX1500g that is decent, but the Boss pedals are basically indestructible. The amp modeling and distortion on those things normally suck though.

If you look closely, you can see the upper corner of my Boss GT-6B. Highly recommended.

It's a much more creativity-inspiring room now. It's a pretty decent size, about half of my basement. For a four-piece band recording simultaneously it's pretty much perfect.

thanks for the heads up man.

yea I'm in fucking love with EHX pedals, I own a deluxe memory man and thought it doesn't have as many functions as the digital delays i wouldn't trade it for anything else
