let's see your pedalboard!

I figured I’d update my board. Besides adding a few modulation pedals and swapping OD’s around I’m happy with the sounds I can get outta this thing.
Signal chain is byoc 5-knob comp> pale horse> fuchsia fuzz> chauffeur (daily driver)> tuner> Klein bottle> loop one deflector> loop two vfe blueprint 1/4 note> loop three vfe blueprint dotted 1/8 into the gravitation reverb> than out of the Klein bottle into the ditto looper.

Hey all, here's my current tiny bass board. The 'Heffalump' is a tweaked Woolly Mammoth clone built around a Fuzzdog PCB, and the white box is a homebrewed buffered mute switch with tuner output. The blue 'Mute' LED flashes, so there's no chance of missing it! The graphic EQ serves as a low pass filter, rolling off all the highs for old skool reggae tones. It's about to change a bit, I have a couple of things to add (a send/return FX loop pedal for the MS-60B to save me some tapdancing, and a BDI21 DI pedal) and also I'm going to move the mute & tuner to the front of the chain rather than the end.

@Sasan please tell me about this very cool guitar

Oh, I love it :) It's a custom built Rickenbacker-inspired guitar made by SIGN Guitar in my hometown Aachen/Germany.
I always fell for the Rickenbacker guitars but wasn't really a fan of this "long horn" and the exaggerated "bump" on the body. So when it came to getting a new guitar, I thought "forget the ones off the shelves, I want Jochen Imhof to built me one"...one piece came to another (he maintenained my first guitar when I was 16), and we came up with this Rickenbacker-inspired body. Half walnut, half black limba, maple neck with flamed maple fretboard; originally Häussel pickups that I changed to Imperial Lollars a year ago.

Ok, you gotta tell me about that “Micro COG”.

Well, I midi-fied the EHX POG and wanted a lasercut in black that fits the darker color scheme of the board. Since nobody wanted to do that due to copyright/trademark issues, I had to photoshop the whole thing, left "EHX" and "POG" out and made it a "Cacophonic Octave Generator" => COG

Finally got some more stuff on there. It's quite the improvement aesthetically, but it's a bit drive/fuzz heavy, I could honestly knock it down to 1 row without much trouble.
Signal chain is tuner > compressor > meatheadish one knob fuzz > one knob triangleish big muff >down to the bottom row into the silver klon clone > TS9, > 10/22 muff i did a build report on > hotcake clone > 2 channel marshally thing > pendulum harmonic tremolo > modded deep blue delay clone.

There's something satisfying about seeing an authentic screamer next to all that diy. Kind of like, "Wait, there's a board for that???"

I had danelectro pedals when I was a kid just starting out, a black coffee and milkshake I think. I didn't end up using them much and found that I preferred just running into an amp with no effects, so I just did that and played metal and had a great time. That tube screamer is my first pedal I got in a long time after not using pedals for about 10 years. I received it as a gift and it really woke up my amp and got me interested in pedals again, so even though I've built my fair share of screamers I like to use the original. My first DIY pedal was a mod kits diy something or other that I hated, but then I found tagboard effects and vero so I decided to try to build a TS9 to compare to see if there really was this do it yourself gold mine and after I boxed it up and it sounded like the real thing I had to build more and now here we are!
 
A whole bunch of changes since the last pic on 11th October. A couple of additions: firstly, the Zoom MS60B now sits in a bypass loop, making it easier to drop in and out of patches; and secondly, there's the Behringer BDI, which allows me to add a bit of crunch if I want but also sits there as an emergency DI just in case (it'll do until I can afford a Sansamp or some such). I've made a new buffered mute switch which now sits at the front of the chain. And it's all on a new board, with the power supply hidden underneath (its telltale LED is visible between the Zoom and the BDI). At some point I've got to take it all apart and paint the board, but for the moment I simply CBA :LOL: 1674131182665.jpeg
