Inspired by the foogerstation pic on here a while back, i have decided to put together all my MFs to create a minimoogermodular; which is probably gonna be called the Uberfooger! /Oberfooger
It will consist of MFs 101, 102, 103, 104z, 105B, 107, 2 CP251s, and a custom wired patchbay for routing.
These are all enclosed in a wooden minimoog type box. The 6 pedals will be where the keys normally are and the two CP251s and the patchbay are attached to rack rails that are attached to a hinge (a la minimoog) to flip it up or lay it down flat for tweaking. This will be a box to set on the table and tweak, OR to put on the floor to use as a conventional pedalboard for bass and guitar. I doubt it will spend much time dowm there, tho.
I wanna do a proggy mockup, but I suck. So here's some old pics from my notebook:
The thing on top with the lites was going to be a furman power supply, but thats not gonna work, no room, so its out.
So I have a huge list of things to consider and design and i am almost ready to actually make it.
Here are the biggest 3 items for me now:
Patchbay- I will custom wire a 50pt PB so that it uses TS and TRS for CV/pedal ins/outs.
Hinge: the hinge and rails are a little complicated to explain so I will try to do some better pictures. But basically, the 2 cps and the patchbay will rackmount to rails that are attatched to a square frame that is attached to a heavyduty piano hinge on the bottom of the frame. The hinge is attached to a solid piece of wood that covers the rear pedal ins and outs. This piece also has a large and deep grooved scallop on top in which to store patch cords.
Power-I would like to have the power in the box (ei a pedal power unit mounted in the back of the box (I have room), but I want it to be discreet and isolated power. Furman would be cool, but it is too deep. I don't want it to make the pedals noisy(ier;-) )The Patchbay is 3-5 inches deep and that is the deepest that the rackhinge can accomodate.
Anyway, I guess i just wanted ti run this by Y'all to see if you had any ideas or corrections or criticisms.
Here is a basic list of its features:
-33"x16" hardwood box (a light, forest friendly hardwood)
-6MFs 2 CP251s a patchbay
-Rack hinge so that the PB and CPs can be placed in different positions. I
have an actual minimoog brace that I may use.
-All pedals ins and Outs are dircetly and permanantly wired to the PB.
-All wooden side pieces will be taken off the MFS
-Cord cable bar behind PB so cables aren't tugged when moving top
-all ins and outs on the PB are labeled and color coded
There is so much more, but I just wanted to get this out. Its driving me crazy.
OK Thanks all!
