Never have I ever...

I never ever even had a board until very recently, and its a modest little thing at that!

I just shipped a bass. The box from FedEx/Kinkos cost about $20. That cost included having them pack the bass (including paper inside the case to minimize bass movement during shipping).

I usually ship that way. Easy and supposed to make an insurance claim much easier if there's damage to something packed by the shipper. Convenience and peace of mind versus rooting in the recycling bin are worth 20 bucks, at least to me.

... gigged with a pedalboard (sticking to pedal-related topics).

I've messed around with effects pedals at home for a few years, but I never put a board together until earlier this year. Once the COVID-19 restrictions went into effect I decided I had time to finally do it. Now I'm looking forward to the day when my band will finally start back up again so I can try out my "new" toys in a love setting.

To satisfy the TB "Pics or didn't happen." requirements :D :

Played without a compressor in my signal chain. It just makes the rest of the band sound better.
I really need to get this figured out with the compressor thing. I had the blue "compressor sustainer" thing from boss and I messed with it at home for about 10 minutes and I found the different settings ranged from "no change" to "sounds worse than nothing" lol.
