Almost all the hardware can be snagged on Sweetwater including the power underneath. Before tax came to just under $2700. The last few bits and the cables would add another $200, so just shy of $3k total.

How much to replace your board?
- Thread starter TaylorJ
- Start date
Just ran the math in my head and probably around 2k. If I had to rebuild from scratch, I doubt it would end up even close to the same though. I tend to follow my own muse and instincts in the moment for things beyond a tuner and a compressor.

Hard to answer, since beyond my tuner it’s all DIY with no commercial equivalents that I’m aware of. Maybe something like $300 dollars in parts and a few thousand in design and build labor. And to complicate things further, if I had to replace everything it would all be new and different the next time!
Yikes! Mine is a pretty modest board but I was shocked that it racked up to nearly a grand (GBP £) in new replacement prices using retail websites as a source! £985 in total.

Question. I run the UA as one of my two "tones. (The other is light OD with my Genzler OD). How does the Neptunium fit into the equation other than a DI out? I've been considering jumping on the HX bandwagon. Love to hear your thoughts!

Wow, that sounds like a fantastic setup. I think I want to trade you boards
It's cheaper then what I have, and I bet it sounds amazing!!Some really nice pedals you have there! Little less expensive than my board, and much more versatile. I think I'm doing it wrong
That's awesome. When my wife asks about my next pedal purchase I'm going to refer her to your post. Tell her I'm not even close to what I need to get!!
Oh boy,
I’ve recently started to down size to just the small board, so I’ll just do that one where it currently sits (not pictured)
But the motherboard is pictured for reference, slowly whittling down and selling off what got swapped from the small one onto the big one
Snark pedal tuner $40
Diamond Bass Comp $160
Boss OC3 $60
Wren and Cuff Super Russian $150
Shiftline Buzz V2 $150
Chunk Systems 00Funk $200
Providence Anadime Bass Chorus $170
Boss RE202 $350
Sadowsky bass preamp $150
Ampeg SGTDI $350
Donner noise killer $40
Joyo power supply 5 (rechargeable) $55
Gator large pedalboard $180
Roughly $2,055

Waiting on @sillyfabe for the win.
PT Nano+
Strobostomp Mini
OE Cali76
HX One
Darkglass VMT
BDDI v2
Sushibox Finally v2 WBiM
Cioks Sol
Had to edit, forgot about the Cioks. About $1,500. Could maybe do it at or below $1,000 used.
It would be up over $2,000 if I include the Punchline, but it is not on main board, just substituted for other pedals when going ampless.
Lesson from this thread is boards ain't cheap.

I have slowly tried getting my violinist wife into pedals. She has one of my old PT nano's with the Fishman(stage DI..she loves) a Voodoo Labs Sparkle drive(recommended to me by another violinist. she turns on once a year) and my Strymon Timeline. She thinks the delays are fun but only uses the Fishman live. I did my best!That's awesome. When my wife asks about my next pedal purchase I'm going to refer her to your post. Tell her I'm not even close to what I need to get!!
So the Neptunium is primarily used as a DI/end of line tone shaper. If I need a little more bass or treble, this is where I adjust it.
The Stomp is the greatest gear purchase I’ve made in a long time. I am 100% IEM with both my gigs. I have the UA in the FX loop of the Stomp so I can move it around virtually in the Sromps signal chain with only the Becos and the Neptunium remaining static.
I always DI out through the Neptunium. For now this set up works very well for me.
I say go for the Stomp if you use IEM with amp and cab sims. I am literally one trip in and out with my setup and I have the same tones from my 90s SVT / 810 rig without the haul.
Thank you, but with effects, we can never really “do it wrong”, however we can throw a lot of money at it. Lord knows I have!Some really nice pedals you have there! Little less expensive than my board, and much more versatile. I think I'm doing it wrong
