Well, it's that time again...

New thread continued over from PYPB 41. Title courtesy of Adamixoye & crapusername... a joint effort.

Fitting this is my first PYPB post since joining last year. Seen a lot of pedals come and go in that time, but never bothered to post. Have 2 boards now, 1 large & 1 small. The big guy is currently disassembled so here is the little one. Retrospec is in front of everything, keep it off the board to save space. Have Pelican cases for both the board and the Squeezebox so the whole rig is easy to travel with.

That's a volume pedal from Dan @ This1sMyne. I typically like a full size volume pedal on my board in case I have volume issues when I start stacking effects, but I need the space here so this little foot-friendly one does the trick and is MUCH more compact. Same knob as on the Fulltone Supa-Trem, very easy to adjust by foot.

I could really use one of those volume pedals. They almost sound invaluable

Current electric bass board. Just got the little Zoom MS-60b Multistomp for things like reverb, chorus and delay that I don't use often enough to justify a permanent space on the board. The volume pedal is the newer Dunlop Volume X - I like it a lot and it is playing well wit the active signal!

Upright bass setup. Radial PZ Pre with an Fdeck for lowpass filtering in the effects loop. Simple, clean and fits on a PT Nano. I have my home rig setup so I run it through my electric effects board too,.. I may try to incorporate some of that stuff when I play the doghouse.

This is my electric guitar setup. Some of these pedals get borrowed for bass duty on occasion (usually in the studio). In particular the Dimension Reverb and the Superdelay.

As you can see, there is a bookcase with a bunch of unused pedals as well. Some are preamps for U-Bass, extra options and pedals I take out when I need to fly with a smaller setup.

Oh man, this is a major pet pieve of mine ... we don't share rehearsal space with anyone anymore, but when we did I constantly had to hunt down cables, mic stands and microphones. As said, at least put things back where you borrowed them from, and for the love of some god, ask me before borrowing my stuff. I'm glad to help, but other people can't know the status of the gear or if there is some reason they can't use it.

The final straw was when another band unpacked and hooked up parts of my stored PA because they had no amplification, I nearly hurt someone then. I think I got the point across though, no-one touched my stuff after that chewing out. Even my own band mates sounded half scared when they asked to borrow something. I like that. :)

f'real 'do. my drummer was in another band for a hinute and we shared a spot. horrible. not only did they not put my mics and stuff back (they used my pa and recording computer and fridge), they installed software without asking, left **** a mess, all the usually selfish stuff.... but we finally told them we were getting our own room and my drummer quit playing with them when they asked me to make sure the computer was setup the way they liked it when we were done, and GAVE ME A LIST OF WHAT TYPES OF DRINKS THEY WANTED IN THE FRIDGE.

..... because my drummer was quitting i just let it slide and didn't have the conversation i wanted to have with them.

Here's my first PYPB post with an actual picture...

It's a combo bass/guitar board.

My last iteration... some of the best sounds I have had thanks to the B7k, Barbershop (clone: white pedal), submarine (clone: hidden underneath) and FEA. Experimenting one by one with all the others: Oxide (orange awesome), polytrope, RV-3(rehoused: yellow/red), Proton, Octron and Frantabit.
