I've been waiting for one to show up on the classifieds for a long time....finally my impatience got the better of my thriftiness so I ordered one....can't freakin wait to get it on my board!

That's what I thought as well. I honestly never thought about using an adaptor cable though. That's a great idea. I just need to find one that is more than just a plug but less than a million feet long so it is still pedalboard friendly...

Updated board, now with Velcro©! I got it for a steal at Joann's. Yes, I bought it from an arts and crafts store. Don't look at me like that.

I am going to need pics of this.

I want to see toothpick like debris flying all about, an arm swinging a hatchet to and fro, and video of any task performed with a ball peen hammer.

........ not a fan of the VT, but it's a well made pedal. i kid.
Haha That's an option! The Rusty Box is probably my favorite pedal and I don't use the VT Bass anymore because of it. I still like the VT, and still own it, but it hasn't been on my board for a loooooooooooooooong time. But... Some people really LOVE it and I can see why.

I'll see if I can get my roommate to film. I'm just adding input and output jacks to the board, but without a drill... certain... steps... must be taken.

That sounds like fun!

Oh, and I get my velcro at Johanns too

Cable length mainly; also the power jack is right where a cable would have to run by. First incarnation of the board had it horizontal with a 5' cable routed under the bar from the front, but I have that one between the Xero and my 'crybaby' volume pedal. I need longer cables. A lot of them. Btw, those livewire ones with the metal covers suck. Too stiff.

I always thought of you as a 'scratchy side up' kinda guy. Now it all makes so much sense. I'm not sure how I feel about knowing (non-biblically) your velcro ways.

Finally received the Nimbus and oh baby is that thing awesome! The DD-3 is a placeholder for a Carbon Copy I'm picking up tomorrow. And I'm waiting for stores near me to get the Mini Polytune.

Now I just gotta build a 2-row board fast before I decide to keep this one and fill the 3rd row...

Hi guys,

My updated pedalboard. Added the flashback as well as the M5 recently but haven have time to play ard much with them. But here it goes.

My signal chain
Oc2 -> LS2 (A+B)
Loop a: Russian Muff -> VT Bass -> Micro qtron
Loop b: Metal Zone -> Rat -> M5
Output -> flashback for looper

Silver box is. Loop A/B kill switch to cut off the signal in one if I only need one of the loops to be active.

Not too happy with my metal zone alr, anyone have any suggestions on what distortion but replace it with, considering I have the muff, rat and vt as overdrive.

Thanks in advance.

Is your Oxide in your GR2 loop? I'm considering getting one to put in the loop, hoping for synth bliss.... can you enlighten me?

Something I put together for fun. I've had the DOD Envelope Filter for a long time but hated it in the begining (I had no idea what it was supposed to do when I bought it haha Whoops! Haha) Man it's fun to play with now though...

Cool board, I haven't tried a Metal Zone so I wouldn't know what type of distortion you are exactly looking for, but may I suggest a Fulltone OCD?
Its a very nice Distortion with plenty of mids, I really like it on bass.
Currently I'm using an OCD clone, a Joyo Ultimate Drive and like it alot. Also check out the Fuzzrocious Oh See Demon (OSD)
