Muff's Modules & More

Okay so... does anybody have the harvestman stilton adapter yet? I haven't heard a fucking thing since this came out and I can't stop staring at it wondering how cool it is and how nice the workflow is with pedals. ANYBODY?

It's pretty fucking convenient, I'll say that. Integrating pedals works quite well and the mix control is really neat with pedals that don't normally have it.

I haven't tried making feedback loops or anything yet, simply using it to integrate pedals and as a guitar preamp, and at those two functions it works extremely well.

Beyond that, it's fairly self explanatory, which is probably why no one is going on much about it.

Can this basically replace 4 reamps and 4 preamps? Like if I had audio on the computer I wanted to run through and amp or effects box...would this do that as well with a little patching? Anyone try processing audio that way with it, as a front end for the DAW?

It look hella cool and I was interested in it for a while but once
I started using my 8x attenuator/8x amplifier panel I had all
of that covered. But I'm totally into Harvestman designs!

I really like that he used stereo jacks to get the ins and outs a la mixing board send/recieve. If i had the space and money....the cwejman modules hit my pocketbook pretty hard. lol

I got a Stilton and have had a blast using the Electro Harmonix POG pedal with it. Instant distortion organ. Haven't had time to mess with any other pedals but am very excited to try some distortion pedals. The Stilton is working great.

Would this replace something like the blacet i/o or the doepfer 119? I'm sure there isnt an envelope follower tho.

Could someone post a clip to sell this baby onto me? THANKS!!! I dont really have many pedals... zoom 505,506 ehx bass synth, ehx memory man, fuzz factory (which is now a module), circuit bent ds-1. Thanks In Advance!!!

If it had an env follower, I'd be all over it.

I know this thread is about the Stilton Adapter specifically,
but I would like to highly recommend finding a way in and out of
one's modular by whatever means available. Guitar pedals or any
other piece of crap you can find can open a world of sonic possibilities
and can serve to quell the desire to buy more stuff when it can
be the most dangerous.
w00t!!

I just sent a guy a PM for... even trade a stilton for my malgorithm. smile

Not that I dont love the malgo....... but....... Oh well.

tragedybysyntax · Posted: Wed Dec 10, 2008 7:55 am Post subject:

Yeah I"m so excited about the stilton! I"ll rebuy the malgorithm. Just kinda waiting around if he puts out the version 2. wink

Dumb question so... if you want to plug your guitar into the stilton... you have to plug it into a 1/4" adapter to 1/8" and go into the "input" right?

Okay so... I"m staring at the stilton I just got in the mail. It's fucking beautiful btw just like all the harvestman modules (eventually I really just want a 6U doepfer case full of only harvestman modules....)

So, I'm not to experienced with send and returns per-say... so bear with me.
K so... If I wanted to actually do a feedback loop and plug a guitar in, I would need to use 3 of the 4 1/4" jacks on the bottom right?

One using the tip going from the pedal or chain's out into the stilton

One using the ring going from the stilton to the pedal or chain IN

One using a TS cable for my guitar or whatever....

This correct? Sorry I'm a jackass and just trieng to wrap my head around some funky routings for this puppy. THANKS IN ADVANCE DUDES AND DUDETS! Mr. Green

tragedybysyntax · Posted: Fri Dec 12, 2008 3:20 pm Post subject:

well you'd use 2 of them for pedals. One for in, One for out. right? then if you wanted to run a guitar in... that'd be a third to use just as a preamp right?

felix · Posted: Fri Dec 12, 2008 8:30 pm Post subject:

you take one of the multed outputs on the far right (that's why there's two) and feed it back to the input of #1 (far left), then you take the other multed output and send that to whatever else (that's your "main" output).

So.... I went and got 3 insert cables today! 6ft hosas.... I'll report back tomorrow at how badass my experience tonight was! I"ll try to post some clips too. smile

Sorry guys... I didnt realize what the fuck an insert cable was.. makes sense being a Y.

Those Hosa adapters that split into 2 female 1/4 inch have the labels of "TIP and "RING" so there is no confusion.

Okay... I need to upload some clips this week. I had a fucking blast with my stilton, a fuzz factory, EHX memory man, EHX Bass Synth, Sherman FIlterbank2 with an AFG being the tone source.

JESUS THIS JUST TOTALLY CHANGED HOW I WRITE MODULAR MUSIC! It's so nice with all the attenuation boosts and cuttings......... so much fun to use the modular with pedals now. Time to use some different pedals for new recipes and that new matrix mixer to plug into this bitch! STAT!

Not a feedback loop, although there is some feedback in there from teh Tresonator. Guitar plugged into the geiger counter and into stilton channel 1, Fulltone GT-500 in channel 2, TResonator in channel 3, Moogerfooger 104z in channel 4. Channel 1 goes out to an ASys RS-35 External Processor, and my playing, creates a trigger and levels CVs which are opening and closing one of the Cwejman ADSRs. This is used as a CV for the MMF-1 which the stilton's effects loop feeds. The ADSR is also used in the filter. That's why when I let that gate stay open a while you can hear the delay and the rest of the time it's hidden behind the envelope. The Stilton rocks. I've barely started even using the feedback capabilities, even the built in effects chain is sweet.e drums are Jomox 888, sequencing the accompanying ringmod bell type sounds. All in one take, if you can't tell by my bad timing.

Pardon my crappy playing, it's hard to say your a guitarist when you live in LA... I think everyone here does.

I just received my Stilton Adapter and am having a problem with it (might be a user problem, not sure). I have my guitar plugged into it and for some reason the left channel is always more active than the right channel on all the inputs. When I pick a string, it never leaves the left and right channels evenly, it always drops from the right channel first and then a couple seconds later it drops from the left channel. I tried this with a couple other devices and saw the same effect (different devices, different cables). Is there something I'm doing wrong? Mix is at full wet and gain is typically between 12 and 2.

sgnhh · Posted: Tue Dec 30, 2008 7:10 pm Post subject:

I have my modular connected to a mixer and then to my stereo--however, on the mixer, I can clearly see the right channel drop before the left channel does.

What would induce such a delay? I have no idea. I think my mixer might just be a piece of shit.

wetterberg · Posted: Tue Dec 30, 2008 7:12 pm Post subject:

can you describe your signal chain? That part isn't very clear to me...

sgnhh · Posted: Tue Dec 30, 2008 7:17 pm Post subject:

Sure.

Guitar>1/4" in on Stilton Adapter Channel 1>1/8" out on Stilton Adapter Channel 1>Channel 4 on mixer>L/R mixer output>stereo>speakers

So the modular goes right into my mixer on a mono channel and outputs from a stereo channel. I originally thought the problem might originate at this stereo output, but that doesn't explain why I can see the LEDs on the mixer confirm what I'm hearing--given that they work independently of how I choose to output the sound.

wetterberg · Posted: Tue Dec 30, 2008 7:20 pm Post subject:

and channel 4 is a mono channel, correct?

sgnhh · Posted: Tue Dec 30, 2008 7:24 pm Post subject:

Okay, I plugged my headphones right into my mixer and things should as they should. I think I may have just blown my speakers.

Edit: yeah, Channel 4 is mono.

wetterberg · Posted: Tue Dec 30, 2008 7:25 pm Post subject:

yeah, then the problem is somewhere between the mixer and the speakers - or indeed in the speakers.
