How much money is on your board?

home made board - $0 (i used random wood and velcro i found in the garage)
MXR Bass Di - $140
EHX Qtron+ - $170
EBS Octave - $160
EHX Electric Mistress - $115
Boss DD-3 - $110
Boss RC-2 - $180
Flaming Funkdrive - $70

$945.

thats more than my amp.
 
rave-on guitarworks pedalboard: $50
2x dunlop 105Q basswah: $200
wood board on top of the wahs: free
loop-master custom 3way splitter: $80
loop-master custom 3way router: $50
dunlop dc brick: $110
custom made fuzz #1: $150 - replacement: priceless
custom made fuzz #2: $80 - replacement: also priceless
2x planet waves cable kit: $120
black twist ties to tie down cables: free
Total: $840 plus the irreplaceable factor of the custom fuzzes (i dont even know what mods were done to the original circuitry anymore...but at least i know what to start with...)

Adding: some sort of octaver ($60-200 depending), a handful of planet waves straight 1/4" plugs to neaten things up ($8 each, i think i need 8), perhaps a compressor (its between the soul preacher or punch factory - both equally $100)
 
I just use a small board. Let me see what it comes to:

Dunlop 105Q - $100
Frantone Lo Tone Classic Fuzz - $219 I think
Z. Vex Box of Rock - $200
Analogman Mini Chorus (Deep) - $225
MXR Carbon Copy Analog Delay - $150

DC Brick - I don't know I think I got it cheap new. Say about $60.
Patches - Something like $40
Pedaltrain Jr. - $100

That's about $1100 without the hard case. Not a bad chunk of money for a small board. But that's really a pittance I've spent on pedals to try stuff out to get to this point. Wow come to think of it I have no idea where it all comes from...
 
Boss RC 20XL $250
EBS Bass IQ $200
Boss Stereo Chorus $50

By the way does anyone know what pedal makes your bass sound like a lead guitar? It raised the signal 1 or 2 octaves and adds distortion. Does anyone know what it's called?
