CXM and Harmonious Monk came in the post today and my goodness are there some incredible sounding pedals being made these days, I can just get lost for hours.

The Harmonious Monk is going on my small board and the CXM on the big board under the hatch controlled by the G3 using midi. I've always used the Provibe on the Captain Coconut for my Tremolo sounds and vice versa but my initial impression is the Hamonious Monk might be a bit more versatile. Now I need to stop buying pedals so I can get myself a sweet vintage Les Paul :lol: .

Maaaate you got the cxm on trademe? Nice.

You should put the cxm on top, you might find yourself twiddling those faders a bit, plus it looks badass!

You've got great pedals there.

Sorry to go off topic, but with the G3, can you assign a particular pedal to be activated with the clean channel of your amp? Say you were on the dirty channel, and wanted to go to your clean with your camouflage at the same time?

You've rapidly shown yourself to be a new found brother so I'll offer you some advice:

"Sorry to go off topic"

If we didn't go off topic in threads, we wouldn't have a clue where we were.
It's a stream of consciousness thing........ :rofl:

And welcome!

It's true, I'm surprised the feet and toes thread hasn't swung around to hats yet...

:lol: Thank you . I was going to wait a bit, so I wouldn't derail the praise for the awesome pedals early on in the piece.

Chase Bliss pedals are amazing. Look at that big retro looking thing. I like how they collaborate with other companies regularly, in order to make the best pedal possible. It's also good to see the head guy not shy away from presenting his creations at trade shows, etc, with having a stutter. No need to.

You could do that if the amp had multiple inputs for different channels like vintage Fender, Marshalls, Vox. I'm running two amps, you can send overdrive to both amps then send the tremolo and delay in parallel to one of the amps then send the reverb in both amps in stereo at the end or something else that sounds great is send the effects 100% wet to a clean amp and run the other amp dirty.

Do you play in a band? I ask because I tried using a stereo rig. It sounded great on its own but was more trouble than it was worth live.

I do play in a band, what was the trouble you had?

Biggest problem was with modulation and delay. The slightest variation of timing and it was a trainwreck.
Then there's all the extra stuff to carry.
Fact is, with talent as teeny as mine, it's best to keep things very sinple. :rofl:

Are you the only guitar in your band? That would help.

I hear you it would look cool watching the faders change position, but with the lift up lid on the board it's easy to change settings and create presets. I spent 3 months on Pedal playground trying to optimise space to get the most pedals in a smaller width board and having the CXM up top would create to much wasted space around the tuner, I also needed to fit two amps and the pedalboard on a small collapsible trolly, so with a guitar strapped on my back I can take the entire setup in one trip, so definitely don't want to go any bigger on the board size.

Yes, absolutely.
