voodu valve & midi mate! - preamps and midi controller

[peel]

Hi all, Im new here. Id like to hear from Voodu valve owners out there...any suggestions for patches? Also do you use yours live? How do you switch between presets..?
Are there any user groups for the V V?

thx

I've got a Chameleon that is the same as a Voodu Valve without the 12ax7. I love it. I've changed all the presets to my own settings and use an ART X-15 controller with it live. I think Rocktron has some patches on their site, but I haven't been there in a while.

cool...is your ART set up to control the Cham song-bysong or do you just setup clean/rhythm/lead sounds with FX?

BTW Im running the Voodu into a Mesa 50-50 into a Marshall 412 cab...You?

I have one too!.. I love it and it loves me.

My main crunch patch is a modification of 'dirty harry' which I find extremely versatile.

I use a Digital Music Corps Ground control for switching presets (basically because I couldn't find a used Midi Mate... but My buddy has one, and is quite pleased with its performance). *My only complaint about it is that the switches are a little too wide, and my clumsy foot sometimes hits 2 switches at the time, or the wrong one with the side of my shoe, which can of course ruin a solo
I don't have my presets set-up sont by song on it, I prefer style by style..

I used it live.. the thing is bullet proof.. and it never crashed or anything.. the speaker sim does the job honestly. *I don't like to bother with amp miking...

I'm running it through a home made hi-fi amp and a marshall 412. *But I'm currently building a tube amp (from diagrams of Mesa 2:90 i found)... that's gonna rock.

I wish there were VV user groups.. but I'm not aware that there are any.

I basically use 10 presets for most of the stuff I play, 8 dirty & 2 clean. I use the continuous controllers for volume and delay fade in. I run into a BBE 462, then into a Rocktron Velocity 300 power amp pushing four 4x12s. Most places I only use 2 cabs, but I'm a firm beleiver in overkill!! Besides, the monitors always seem to suck and I need to hear myself. *
I also really like the speaker sim on this unit, it adds a lot to the sound.
* All in all, I've had it for about 3 years and have no complaints!
