Nano board of pure awesome

TimmyO

Allow me the indulgence outside of the main board showoff thread - petite stuff seems to not find much favour there  



I'm REALLY pleased with this Nano now. 

Amp runs clean clean, this gives me light blues grit from the Lightspeed, and 2 levels of drive from the Blackstone.

I have tap tempo on the delay, and access to a whole range of modulation options, with presets. (The M1 arrived today so only had a brief dabble)

Despite being officially 300mA the M1 is running off a 250mA output on the Cioks Adam and seems fine (no audible difference when powered from a beefier standalone supply) 

I've been faffing (for fun) with this Nano setup for a while and I'm really eased with it now.

Niice. Small boards are the best

That’s a damned fine board irrespective of size

Slick - I miss my Lightspeed!

Lovely board!  My nano setup is a mere all-boss affair, but I love working within its constraints.

Nice!

What's the Lightspeed like?

I had in my head it's Yet Another Tubescreamer but it isn't, is it?

aye, it's really not. It's Timmy-based.

From a tech standpoint, the best I make out is that' it's a Timmy with that circuit's bass and treble controls fixed at particular values, then with its own tone control added. You can definitely make a Timmy and a Lightspeed sound and respond the same / as 'same' as makes no odds.

It's really easy to use, and just sounds and responds really nicely, so I found myself using it rather than the (MXR) Timmy a lot. But tbh you could swap one for the other easily.

Small but mighty!

Thanks. 

I'll file under "good, but not for me" because I think I've owned about three Timmys over the years...

Lovely stuff that, I like the look of the Blackstone thingy, do you use plectrums (plectra?) to adjust the knobs?

Also, there was a mini board thread where you should definitely post this, but it's so mini that I've lost it...

Cheers. Yep a standard plectrum works perfectly 

Will have a look for the mini board thread!

Neat! I'd switch the Lightspeed for a JanRay (yes I know but I like it far more than the Timmys I've tried... ) but otherwise that would keep me very happy as a grab & go board.
