Hi Rig Doc. I’m looking at building a new rig. Taking your advice into consideration. Would you recommend using a Warick V16 as a power supply? I can’t find if it’s the type you recommend to eliminate low noise. Also looking at getting one of your vertex boost pedals as a boost/buffer. Is there one you would recommend over the other?

I built my rig based on your early video designed around a Boss MS3. I built the DIY buffer based on the bill of materials, switched to the CIOCKS power. I send one side out to an IK multimedia interface and run presets from the iPad via midi, and can go out the other side buffer to an amp. The crown jewel is the new UP mkII.

@tstu1701 3 года назад

Thanks for the great video(s). I've bought into the soldered cables koolaid (!) and I'm redoing my board with Square Plugs and Best-tronics CA-0678 wire. One tip (and maybe you've covered this on your patch cable vids) that works for me is to take into consideration the direction of the plugs; both up, one up-one-down, etc... The CA-0678 wire doesn't twist much so the plug orientation is important for the supplies I'm using, particularly on short patch cables. Again, thank you for the information and videos!

We’ve mentioned this in other videos and recommend doing one side at a time so you can dress and wire into your 1/4” jacks with the exact angle with no additional slack.

@alanturingandthetapes5575 2 года назад

First of all thanks for posting this; I got a lot out of it. I'm curious what you don't like about the boss tuner's buffer.

@VertexEffectsInc 2 года назад

Alan, my pleasure. The Boss buffers just aren't comparable to the quality of buffers we can make now. They've remained relatively unchanged for about 30 years. They weren't designed to address today's pedal applications and are poor line drivers, have a lot of color, add noise, and attenuate your output for each series of Boss buffers you run through (almost every pedal of theirs has at least two buffers in series - a JFET input and BJT output).

@studio-d943 3 года назад

Hi Mason, love your channel! will you use the pedalboard in stereo by placing the cab m before the collider, the collider would sound way better, no? An high quality direct box after the collider would assure you a balanced signal. What do you think? Thanks, Daniel

@VertexEffectsInc 3 года назад

Thanks for watching! It's still in mono through the Cab M, it's split in the interface/buffer so it's just two mono signals, one goes to the amp, one goes to the Cab M. I don't usually use them both, just one or the other - but I could use both if I wanted. I don't think it sounds better and I couldn't use it with my amp side if I did that. If you wanted to run the Collider in post, you'd be better off using the line output and feed it into something like the Cab Zeus to feed another channel on your mixer and use it more like a wet/dry type thing, or wet/dry/wet if you used it in stereo and it already has it's own parallel mixer and goes 100% wet/kill dry.

@brianmiller6828 3 года назад

Loved the ultraphonix! Does it do that "on the edge of feedback thing on its own or is it dependent on your particular gain stages and/or amp?

@VertexEffectsInc 3 года назад

The amp is dead clean, it'll do it through most anything. It's very "Dumble" in that regard in really pulling out that feedback

@VertexEffectsInc 2 года назад

It's going to have some effect but no more than most any other pedal turned "on" true bypass or not. You just need to be judicious with how many of these buffered pedals you use, but don't freak out if you have one or two in the chain.

Great pedalboard Mason, awesome sounds. Can you compare the sound of the collider and the h9 for reverb and delays? What is your opinion? About the patchable, with using Mogami cable have you the same quality of the belden 8412 like the John Mayer Stile Pedalboard what you have build? This video have shocked me, awesome. Thanks in advance for your fantastic job! Marcello

@VertexEffectsInc 3 года назад

I prefer the Collider because you can run two effects at once and the H9 is only a single effect. The H9 also only sounds good to me in an effects loop and not ideal for in front of the amp. The Belden 8412 is a great input cable, not a great patch cable. I don’t recommend using it on a pedalboard. Mogami is my preferred cable for in between pedals.

Hey Mason, recently purchased one of your pedalboards through Sweetwater, very cool getting your products available through them. Question about the riser screws, is there a thumbscrew available from you, or some kind of quick-latch device to put there instead of regular screws? I like to have it fastened because I like to pick the whole board up by the shelf, but I also need to access underneath at gigs without having to use a screwdriver. I'm sure I could find thumbscrews somewhere, but maybe you already have something for that? If not, maybe a good idea.. what size are those threads? Thanks man.

@VertexEffectsInc 3 года назад

Typically I never leave in the front screws and just adjust the hex screw in the back to the tention I want to lift the board up/down. Otherwise any 10/32 thumb screw would work and you can get them a most hardware stores or even Amazon.

Hi Mason. Great, very informative content. I’ve read some complaints about hiss when activating the SA Collider? How say you?

@VertexEffectsInc 2 года назад

I've not heard this issue, wonder if it's a PSU problem with a linear supply.

@@VertexEffectsInc There's some murmurs on the usual gear pages. I've seen a "shorts" video here on youtube demonstrating it, but with no discussion of their power, cabling etc. Good to know that you're not getting it. I have one on order.

Hi nice work you do there.. you mention you don't like the boss buffers, would that include the buffers in the ES8 which I use for switching? If so, I'd be interested in a work around, pretty sure I can turn those buffers off if there's something better available. Thanks!

@VertexEffectsInc 3 года назад

Yes, I bypass them and use external buffers when I use that switcher.

@Siberguy2008 3 года назад

I'm curious about the board you built around the HX Effects compared to this. Is this a replacement or just simpler. I'm going to use the rest of my Covid break to make a nice board and I have the HX Effects but I haven't decided whether to do something like that or something like this. Either way I plan to use the SSS. I thought I was done with my pedal phase SSS is the first new pedal I've ordered in quite a while but it got to me.

@VertexEffectsInc 3 года назад

I was building that board more because we were being asked about how to integrate it so I thought we'd make one showing it with external pedals and a controller. I gave the board away after the build. I would suggest if you go that route you go with the Voodoo Lab Hex. I think the buffers are important to have and the Line 6 will color the tone some if you don't have them in place. So glad you dig the SSS! Can't wait to see your rig with it on there!

Great stuff, I'd be interested in picking up one of your smaller pedal boards with a riser, where do I start? Ive been looking on line at your site, but I feel it would be helpful to talk with someone about what I need, is that possible? If not, thats okay, I can figure it out, but it would be nice to figure out what would be the best for my needs. Thanks Thanks, great stuff, and tutorial. Rick

Hello there! new here :) Quick question. Regarding the output impedance spec of a suitable buffer, when you said 100 ohm, does that mean at least or it needs to be exactly that. Sorry if that sounds silly. Thanks in advance! You're great btw

@VertexEffectsInc 2 года назад

The closer to ZERO the better, but reasonably between 100-150 is fine.

@doubled5383 3 года назад

No FX loop, do you have a strong opinion about using FX loops for delay/modulation? Also, I struggle with buffers up front with certain fuzz pedals, like the Fulltone Octafuzz, which does not like buffers in front of it. What do you recommend there? Thanks

@VertexEffectsInc 3 года назад

Depends on the amp and if the amp is creating the distortion or the pedals. If it's the amp, then the FX loop is critical. If the pedals are producing the gain, then it doesn't matter regarding the FX loop. If you have impedance sensitive pedals like the, the input buffer should come after the fuzzes.

@brucedespommier 3 года назад

Watching your channel many times, and as a gigging musician, I decided to make a board similar to the ones I see you work on, yet not as elaborate. I went with a Boss ES-5 for all my switching....I use VooDoo Labs Pedal Power 2's for all my pedals. Can you power this unit with the PP2??

@VertexEffectsInc 3 года назад

You can use the courtesy outlet and power your ES-5 from that with the provided adapter.

Howdy mason. Waiting on my SSS to arrive and I also ordered a cabzeus mono. Question… I will use the CZ to interface to my audio interface and use the SSS as the preamp. Does the SSS have to be the last pedal in the chain before the CZ or can it be before my mod pedals and then into the CZ?

No, you can run delay/reverb after it.

We have an MKII version now, it's the same circuit with one added control for input volume (like a boost knob going into the pedal). It's exactly the same sound as you heard here.

You can re-terminate it yes, we have DIY power cable wiring diagrams as well, just make sure that if you do the RCA side that you make sure the polarity is such that the hot is on the sleeve and the ground is on the tip. You can test this with your multimeter.
