Are the phase 90 and Mojovibe in the loop or in front of the amp?

 

[RACKSYSTEMS]

In front

Hey do you also know what this flat connectors between the effects are? The only ones I fond in the www are those:

They are Switchcraft 228, usually around $5 or less depending on how many you get.

interesting everything controlled by the mkIII?

 

[RACKSYSTEMS]

A couple of things are ganged up and the timeline and m9 are controlled by midi.

 

[Paulg2uk]

I just wanted to ask. All the time based effects are going thru the effect loop on Pete's amp. Does the Musicomlab control those as well? If so how's it connected? I only saw 2 sets of inputs and outputs on the musicomlab.

Many thanks

Paul

Time based stuff is in the loop controlled by midi.

Thanks for the reply. So how is it hooked up signal wise? To the amp and the musicomlab etc. There's an in and out for the guitar and front end of the amp but then where does the fx loop send and return plug in?

Thanks again

Paul

 

[RACKSYSTEMS]

There is lots of ways to connect this board. But the head send and return plugs into the l in and the out to the left. The board is designed to be used in many ways. Look for Pete's video of it.

Sweet

How was the Carl Martin plug issue tackled?

 

[RACKSYSTEMS]

Pete just got a new one with a dc plug from carl martin. Before it was ac plugged in and it humed .

 

[munkydanny]

Well that answers my follow up question.. Anyone wanna buy a compressor?

Appreciate the quick response Dave, these boards of yours are more like works of art than mere pedalboards.

 

[BigBrewtus]

Too cool. The CM comp is on my want list. EVH Pedal lover too Pete? lol I have the EVH 90 and I believe it replaces most of my pedals
with just its mojo. I know you are a boutique amps lover too. What amp are you using these next two shows?
I got to see you jam with Peter Frampton a few years ago in Nashville. Great show! You are a lucky man!

The CM Compressor is KILLER. That Frampton gig was a blast! He was cool. What'd we do, I think Black Hole Sun and Whole Lotta LOve? Or it was Slaves And Bulldozers into Whole Lotta Love I think..?


Using the pT100 this weekend.... 1st gigs with this board- wish me luck!

Found it!! Wish I had taken more. Or maybe I lost some. haha

 

[splawner]

Very nice

 

[Bowks]

Dragging this one up form the past as I have a power question. Are the G Lab supplies able to provide enough power from a single outlet for the M9 or is it powered another way?

 

[RACKSYSTEMS]

Well the glab can be modded to do it. That what I did here.

 

[Jambo]

I've watched the video and read everything here about this board and LOVE the idea that it's designed with many different scenarios in mind. As stated on Pete's video:

1) using the the y-not in a dual amp situation
2) midi to control channels and functions in a single multi-channel amp rig (I assume with a RJM mini amp gizmo if that amp isn't midi controllable)
3) placing all of the pedals in front of the amp in a one amp rig without an effects send

But I'm curious how the connections are made for these different scenarios without re-patching? Can someone please explain to me what all of the inputs/outputs on each side of the board are wired?
