I know. I bet it is in a mixer.

Every SM user discovered this, if they were being honest about their sound. Especially the ear fatigue thing.
My '76 LP Gold Top + Marshall Super Lead player buddy, when turning me onto the SM: "It sounds like removing a blanket from in front of your speaker."
Yeah. And by the time you had listened to it for years, and turned it off, it sounded like the clouds parting, and the sun coming out.

This was a preliminary pic before I finished about 5 years ago. The ADA stuff now resides in its own 4u rack.
Top shelf (one without xformer) holds a few pedals (Eventide Pitchfactor etc).

Fuck it just took a couple pics. Bonus points if you can spot the Rockman X100B.

Patchbay. See my pics. Keep in mind solution is not for switching on the fly (just manual routing).

Shelving. The Eventide PitchFactor stays connected (stereo in/out) to my Apollo 6x.
The other pedals are just there for when I want to maybe patch in.
Keep in mind this is for home studio use only.

Is that you Tom?
I understand about indecision; I woke up this morning and the sun was gone and all I want is to have my peace of mind. So I turned on some music to start my day, but it's been such a long time, so don't look back.

Awesome! I’d love to get my hands on an MP1.
Yeah I think I’m going to swap my drawer out for a shelf and have a little 4-5 pedal setup in there for OD, Fuzz, Chorus, Flanger etc.
Explain patchbays. You wire everything in to it, but then control routing based on what’s turned on, or is there a way to select what bays are “on” etc.

It's just a unit with a number of female-to-female connectors. You use 3 cables to connect 2 pieces of gear together- 1 from one unit to the rear of one of the patch bay connectors, 1 from a 2nd unit, and then a 3rd cable on the front of the patchbay, from the 1st connector that you connected the 1st unit to, to the connector you connected the 2nd unit to.
So you basically connect every input or output of all your gear to a separate connector on the rear, and when you want to connect 2 units together, you use a short cable, and jumper it on the front, between the same 2 connectors those 2 pieces of gear are connected to on the back.

RAT into MP1 = Nunotone on Pornografitti, Skid Row & White Lion. According to Michael Wagener.
Patchbays are difficult to explain in detail because the typical patchbay has 3 modes:
-normaled
-half-normaled
-thru
this refers to the connection inside for each channel
I can offer the manual for my specific patch bay (Samson S-Patch Plus 48 Channel) which explains things:
You cannot "hit a button to switch things" - everything is static. if you want to change something / connect something to something else, you have to do it manually... with possible exception (depending on model of patch bay) of switching between normal, half-normal and thru.

Aren’t all of usI'm have a Boss ES-8 to handle the switching in my rack but I've been way too lazy to actually implement anything.
My rack is just for home and I'm just chasing the gear I wish I could buy back in the day.
