    I've had this configuration going for a while. I intended it as a "master board" that would work for recording and both bands I play with. I plug into the Wampler EQ as a first step - mostly as a boost for my basses since I took the preamps out - and then everything else is before the HX Effects. The HX unit has patches set up for 4 cable mode for my guitar rig (VHT Pittbull 100CL) and parallel processing to two separate outputs for my bass rig (Traynor YGL 3 Mark III).

    It's neat not having to swap pedals around depending on who I'm jamming with, and it's great having most of the important stuff saved as presets so I don't have to worry about bumping as many knobs by accident when I'm recording. It's also a lot less noisy than my old bass board. But it's still not ideal. I'm thinking of replacing the Wampler with a Source Audio EQ2, so I can have separate presets for basses and guitars. I never wind up using that Maxon OD for anything except goofing around, which is a shame because it's great; really I could probably run my guitar rig with just the HX unit and a tuner, since I'm not using my "real" pedals there anyway. And although I hate admit it, this setup didn't have the bite or mojo that my old bass pedalboard setup did when I finally used it full volume at rehearsal a little while ago. Might be time to get more creative again.

    Very nice! I am just using an HX Effects and expression pedal for my main board. But in your case, nothing really does what those HOGs do.

      I love the HOG. Such a cool and flexible pedal. It really shines on bass. The foot controller is awesome, too, six patches right at my foot-tips. I think the HX Effects is great too, and extremely convenient. I have no complaints... I just hope I can squeeze some more definition and zinginess out of it for my bass setup.

      • I got everything wired up. It took a little bit to dial in the MOOG like the MXR Micro Flanger, but I got it pretty damn close. I could easily nail it with a bit more time and patience. From what I remember, I have not used this amp with this pedal configuration since probably '86 or so. I was able to pull up all of the tones from my old band's set, the good, the bad, and the ugly.

          • I still use that Small Stone- it sounds better than a Phase 90 to me.

              I bought it used for $50. Phenomenal value. The small stone combined with the SD Catalina Chorus is pretty tasty.

              • Always loved the sound of a Small Stone on a Fender Rhodes.

                  Guitar -> Dunlop 535Q -> Fuzz Faceish pedal I built with hi/low tone controls -> Fulltone Deja Vibe -> Korg Pitchblack Custom Tuner -> Moore E-Lady -> JHS PG-13 Distortion -> Boss BD-2w -> Amp in

                  Amp send -> Xotic SP Compressor -> Seymour Duncan Deja Vu Delay -> Empress Tremolo -> Amp Return


                  Took me a long time to figure out that I like the sound of modulation after fuzz but before OD/Distortion . . . and compression after all gain and in the loop.

                    • Just put this together a few days ago. Getting to know the Dr. Z and the M-EQ Driver. The M-EQ is like magic or something. It just makes everything sound better.

                        How's that reverb sound?

                        • The reverb is great but the thing goes from 0-Surf by 9 o'clock on the level knob. Room/Spring/Plate all sound realistic and it's certainly well built.

                            What does the EXP pedal control?
