*sigh* can't seem to leave well enough alone. Current setup. I think this will be stable for awhile (a day?!?) although I'm close to adding a Bass Micro Synth and I'm still not sure about the OD choice...

your set up seems backwards to me??
no offense, i just though octaves go first , chorus after distortions, filters after octaves, etc
maybe I am missing something
- excellent collection though!!!!!!!
I don't match effect order to placement on the board. On the board I worry about which ones I need to switch the most and spacing so my fat feet can easily hit them.
I don't match effect order to placement on the board. On the board I worry about which ones I need to switch the most and spacing so my fat feet can easily hit them. The chain order is:
Bass -> Micro POG -> AF-9 -> Mail Bomb -> TLC -> Bi-Chorus -> BB Pre -> DD-3
The reasoning is that the octave needs the cleanest signal it can get to track well, then the envelope filters. The AF-9 can peak hot so then it goes into the comp to tame it a bit. Then into chorus, then dirt and delay is last. The delay actually is optional and will likely swap in and out with the Micro Synth. I use this same board for occasional guitar stuff (shh! don't tell).

. I need to figure out where to put it in this signal chain.Just finished this little fella a few minutes ago:

And here's one from the front:

Signal goes like this:
Bass - Planet Waves Tru Strobe - Boss NS-2 (loop out) - Symetrix 501 compressor - Pigtronix Disnortion
Dirty output - VT Bass - NS-2 (loop return) - EHX Stereo Memory Man with Hazarai (left input/output) - Ashly BP-40 (in amp rack) - Peavey IPR 1600 - Tech21 B410
Clean Output - EHX Octave Multiplexer - Digitech BSW - Stereo Memory Man with Hazarai (right input/output) - MXR M-80 - Peavey IPR 1600 - Tech21 B410
The pedals are powered up by a BBE Supa Charger mounted under the compressor.

This is my first board ever, its a ghetto setup i made for a show this coming monday. I plan on making a much better actual board from wood sitting around my house, but since im running out of time to make it better, this'll have to do.
Im looking into getting a takeflightpedals' Goose soon to add some tasty fuzz/bit/synthy tone.

that's a really nice DIY board, i love the second level. i was planning on building something like this, but decided to just go for a pre-fab and ended up with a NYC pedalhead. i'm still in the process of filling the board, but i was thinking about an OFO disnortion. how do you like yours?

That's the beauty of custom cable lengths,...you aren't limited on pedal placement.
I really need to get some George L's or Lava Cables.
Agreed, but it's so hard to justify (for me, anyway) when the cost to fix up my board would run me the same as trying out a new pedal.
I've noticed quite a few Supercolliders on boards. I've tried to find where to order, but they seem to be backordered since November, and they look different than the ones everyone here has. My questions are 1)Is this pedal dead in the water, production-wise, and 2)has the circuit changed since all of you purchased?
Sorry, don't mean to hijack, but the sound clips of this pedal sound great.
