Ce Tim Mahoney change de système comme de caleçon. Encore qu'avec ce que ça doit lui coûter, il est peut-être obligé de rogner sur le budget sous-vêtements.
Toujours est-il que voici le nouveau bazar, qui n'est somme toute que l'ancien passé en version tout en rack W/D/W, avec quelques additions pour faire bonne figure. Non mais.

Here is a pretty involved system that was finished this week for Tim Mahoney of the band 311. The most involved piece was the custom rack interface that Martin designed. Inside the beautifully engineered rack piece is a five loop mixer, three Jensen ISO transformers, two power transformers (to power the Axess FX-1, expander, wah and tuner on the pedalboard and the Boomerang), internal buffer, midi controlled switching for sending to two amps, channel switch, loop for the Boomerang, midi, and wet volume loop.
The rack pieces are as follows: Two PCM 42's, PCM 60, TC 1210, Line 6 Filter Pro, Boss SE-70, two RJM RG-16, L.A.S.D. interface.
The pedal trays include in order of signal chain: Octaver, Mutron III, Ross Compressor, MXR Phase 45, MXR Phase 90, KR Megavibe, DOD 250, Hartman Flanger, EH Clone Theory, MXR Flanger, Ibanez AD-9, EH Memory Man.
On the floor is the king of all midi controllers-the Axess FX-1 with expander, Boss TU-2 and a vintage King Vox wah. Thanks to Mario for making such a great unit. The second board has a Boss FV-500 H, Boss FV-300L and a Boomerang. There is a dry mute and switchable outputs for the two amps. There is a wet volume and a pre volume.
A Diamond Phantom head feeds two dry cabs in the center. The HH V800 feeds two wet cabs on the left and two on the right. Six cabs total-all with Vintage 30's.
The system sounded incredible. It covers all the vintage tones as well as modern rack sounds. My favorite pedal was the Hartman Flanger. It is a dead copy of a Electric Mistress. This pedal gets everything from Andy Summers to David Gilmour to Alex Lifeson. Rich, liquid and spacey. Thanks to Theo for getting us the pedal so quickly.
A&S also made some great KK style racks with stealth black hardware per Tim's request. One 20 space and two double head rack with cooling fans built in the back were made.
311 starts their summer tour next week. It's going to be a great show to see. Thanks, Tim.
