Title: a little info on the Klein-ulator needed here..... Post by: Franne500 on December 08, 2008, 05:22:40 PM Hi all,
I'm seriously thinking about buying a Klein-ulator for my OTS - BUT....... is it to big to be fitted inside the cab for the head ? I really don't want a box that I have to bringe in my board and then mount it on top of my amp and plug cables in and out...... actually I think that our back line tech will just laugh at me if i show him such a set up. So I am thinking that maybe i could mount it inside the cab with velcro or something like that - the all I have to figure out is a 9V psu - maybe that could be in there aswell ?!?? ;) ;) ;) Any ideas ? Anyone tried it ? Title: Re: a little info on the Klein-ulator needed here..... Post by: bobbyd123 on December 08, 2008, 07:45:29 PM I used a piece of plywood with velcro it seems to work well. I also have my pedals on the board too.
It seems to fix the issue. Title: Re: a little info on the Klein-ulator needed here.....

Wow - could you post a picture of it ? Title: Re: a little info on the Klein-ulator needed here..... Post by: mcinku on December 08, 2008, 09:33:08 PM I would like to see this as well.

So - do you run long cables from the amp to your board or ???Title: Re: a little info on the Klein-ulator needed here..... Post by: bobbyd123 on December 18, 2008, 01:17:08 AM Sorry all still can't figure out how to send attachments on this forum. I will send a photo when I can find a more computer literate to help. What I did was take a piece of 1/2 in ply and cut it the same size as your top. Then notch out room for the handle and get some carpeted feet for the ply and set it on the amp. velcro the pedals including the Ulator on the ply. Works great but the only problem I've encountered is trying to find a case for the darn thing.
Title: Re: a little info on the Klein-ulator needed here..... Post by: shebbycaster on December 18, 2008, 06:41:14 AM FWIW I do the same thing. I have the K-uLator, a boss dd6 and an EBS Dynaverb on top of the amp. A number of players around here leave their loop effects on top of the amp on a small board.
To find a case, search Tuffbox on eBay. Their 1885 fits on top and has room for these three pedals. The carpeted interior dimensions are 18 x 8 x 5. The exterior is about 20 x 10 so it's a decent fit. I fastened some 1/2" tall amp feet under the bottom with small machine screws, nuts and lock washers so the board clears the handle. These cases are not state of the art for touring pros but they are sturdier and easier to use than the soft bag and board setups that are popular these days. The 1885 is only $29.95 plus $18.95 for shipping. I've used them for a while and they hold up pretty well through the stresses of the small club scene. They come in a gray color with black trim so I painted mine all black to go with the tolex on my combo. For jams I don't even bother with any pedals in front. Just a tuner and the OTS footswitch. I've seen some guys adjusting their pedalboards trying to approximate the tone of the OTS, but I haven's heard anyone laughing. |
