You NEED to tell us about that britbender - I been curious about it for a while.
My pedalboard has been revamped:
Added Polyphase, SMMH, and DOD FX72 to the board.
out of curiosity, what do you use the TR2 for?
in combination with the bms by chance?
yikes man, thats QUITE the array of pedals you've got there
like holy jeez
how much did they all cost if you dont mind me asking?
One word... Awesome.
It cuts through the mix really well. My setup allows me to blend 50% of my clean tone with it, so I lose no low end, and the fuzz sits on top of my tone.
Can be nasally, but it can be synthy too. I think anyone out there looking for a pedal that is all the good points of the Muff, and all the good points of very expensive boutique pedals (b*assmaster, woolly mammoth) should try it.
It isn't gated like the mammoth is, but it can be very chunky. It is also very quiet. Mute your strings, and you hear nothing.

With my band live, I use the TR-2 in combo with the PQ-3B and the Jimi Fuzz. On our disc, I use TR-2 with PQ-3B.
Jammin by myself I go...
BMS > TR-2 > PQ-3B > Jimi Fuzz > FX72
I'd like to use this combo in a song sometime though. It sounds AWESOME!!
Well, finally finished the basic "board" part last night (still have to run the power, add the front bindings to the tiers, finish painting, etc.) so I wanted to try it out this morning as far as using it on the floor and how it feels. Tossed a bunch of pedals on it and it is not bad at all! The rear tier is only 4.75" off the ground.
Figured I snap a couple of pictures while I was at it. Note that this is NOT the way the pedals will be laid out (most of them aren't even straight in the pics), just a bunch of random pedals tossed on to check it out.

Holy cow, that's amazing! Do you have a case made for it as well?
You're a bad man
I had terrible influences, Mr. Master Plan.
Not at all. The board itself is somewhere around five or six pounds. No idea with the pedals and all on it, but it wasn't too bad when I carried it outside for the pictures. It's slatted, not solid so it's lightweight. I was worried that it would twist when I put all the pedals on but it didn't. I lifted it from one corner and balanced it on the opposite diagonal corner and it didn't flex at all.
Nice general symmetry
I like symmetry!
Heck scotch, haven't even gotten the board finished yet! I think the case will be a winter time project.
Underneath the center rows of the back two tiers there will be a total of eight outlets for wall warts and a 1 spot and then underneath each of the outer rows there will be a Voodoo Lab PP2+ (2 PP2+s).
The 1 Spot will power the loopers since all they need is a little current for the LEDs. Everything else will be either wall wart or PP2+ jack. Should be plenty of power available.
All the input/output and power connections will come off the back side.

Rusty, that's amazing, and rather frightening...
I want a photo of the face of the first guitarist who shares a stage with THAT THING...

Rusty-
Nice work so far! Is that an HBE Mimic on the left? If so, how do you like it? I was forced to sell mine because there wasn't enough headroom for bass and it distorted the repeats. Mine was Mach II, BTW... It killed on guitar, though.
How about your Psilocybe? I'd pick one up if I weren't expecting a Halophaze sometime in the next decade.
