I took my Decibel Eleven Switch Dr out of retirement and put together this board.



Sounds great and I can switch presets on the SDE3000, switch channels on the DSL etc :)

The Way Small Green Rhino reminds me of the elephant from Looney Tunes who ends up in the bird bath.

I'm guessing the TC Electronic is a clone of the Boss Dimension C chorus and the mini wah is a CBM535AR.

Man I really did LOL at this. Even my wife asked me what was so funny :lol:


And you're correct about all the pedal.

The TC 3rd Dimension is a real sleeper of a pedal. I think it's 50 bucks and I like better than the old Boss I had, which I ended up selling for $250 after I bought this.

It's slightly more subtle than the Boss but in a good way. And it's true bypass.

Awesome! :lol:

I think the Boss GT-1000 Core can do a Dimension C emulation. I'll have to check and see. If it can, I'll have to experiment with it. What do the different buttons do?

The different buttons are different rate/depth presets. They get wetter from 1-4. You can also press different combinations at the same time.
The GT1000 does a Dimension C (same as the MS-3), but it's a bit different than the actual pedal. Still great though.

Interesting. I'll have to check it out and see what I think of it.

My SDE-3000D is shipping today. Now to see if I can find any settings to get close to the EVH version! Boss appears to have that on lockdown. Did not look too hard yet, but have not been able to find even a thread online anywhere about it. Thought that maybe someone would have a vid on how to replicate the settings between the two at least a little bit by now.

Upon first listen, I'm not liking it. :(

Very bright sound. Doesn't seem to sound as warm as my rackmount RDE2500. This buffer seems to be messing with my overall tone, and I'm usually a Boss buffer fan. It made my whole rig sound weird. Wondering if there is a preamp I'm not familiar with in here.

Buttons are hard to press. I need to read the manual. Editing doesn't seem super intuitive.

That said, I didn't like my RE201 at first, and now I love it. I know to trust Boss when it comes to delay.

What I like.
cool display.
Good switches.
tap tempo is very crisp and accurate.

I sort of want to buy a DM101 now.
