Amazing! Truly amazing! :)

Obviously, you spare little expense! How about cutting down a little more on clutter & introducing a little uniformity in cabling? Small diameter cabling with small connectors (like George L's) would really tighten things up.

I love your cable loom as well - I keep putting off looming my meager 4 cable bundle...

Amazing stuff. I SO want to try out your board!

Come on up to CT some time :)

All of my cables are the Planet Waves ones- they are indeed pretty thick. They're easy to put together and pretty stable though- I've been iffy about George L's as I've read lots of mixed reviews as to their durability- quite a few people have mentioned they can be problematic if you move them around a lot. Something to look into though. The Lava Cable pedalboard sets look really nice and are tiny, but they cost an arm and a leg.

Right on! I have family in Hartford- don't tempt me!

I can give George L's a solid endorsement. For over a decade I've toured in over 20 countries all over the world with my pedalboards (wired with George L's). Literally hundreds of flights and plenty of rough treatment & pedal swapping/re-organizing. When they are assembled correctly, they are completely reliable! I've never had a failure at a show or session. I do double-check to make sure that the screw caps haven't loosened every 4-6 months- but it;s rare to have to tighten any as I use pliers to torque them down.
I have a feeling that the horror stories come from people who haven't put any effort into assembling the cables. Using scissors, wire cutters and/or not allowing the screw caps to 'bite' in enough are the common issues.

My pedal board has changed quite a bit over the years:

Starting off

I somehow came across a bit of money

Random live shot with a few different pedals

Got an M13 & a wireless

Since taking these pictures I've sold my M13 (didn't work with my bass, the levels never went high enough) & a few other pedals. There's probably even a few newer ones, but I havn't been using my board lately, so they're all in boxes ready for gigs. I'll probably post newer ones eventually

Cool idea on the low/high pass filter! I may just have to invest in making one. :p

Here is my schematic:

It is a modified version of one I found online (here), based on the Electro-Harmonix tone stack. I just added the bypass switches.

Getting closer to a finished setup. The fuzz slot(s) on my board is a revolving door...the musket and the TLSF might be going soon. I'm probably going to try and pick up a Pickle Pie B and/or a Supercollider soon (thanks alot Eric :rollno::D). And the last slot on the board (after I find the right fuzz) will be home to an Octavius Squeezer. I'll have to mount the JDI underneath the board if I choose to have two fuzzes though.

The GeminiDrive is always on and I use the tone hammer bring in some more bass and cut the mids a bit (for songs like Fox and Hound), and when I kick on the AGS it really hits the GeminiDrive hard :bassist:. I might take this back off the board soon too. It'll never really leave, but I really like the way the MXR 10 band EQ hit the GeminiDrive as well...I'm going to have to spend some more time with that set up soon.

Signal Chain:

Bass->
EB VPJR 25k->
Aguilar ToneHammer->
Electronix GeminiDrive v2 ->
Blackout Effectors Musket v1 ->
Robot Factory Tentacle Love Super Fuzz ->
MXR Phase 90 (w/ EVH mod) ->
Korg Pitchblack ->
Boss RV-3 ->
EHX Stereo Memory Man w/ Hazarai ->
Radial JDI ->
Amp

The whole board is powered by a VooDoo Labs PP2+

Oh dear lord,...you couldn't just have the ECT on there you went and put a Shiva along with it. Son you are one step away from dividing by zero.

Bryan,...I could probably record (and will eventually) the Shiva but to be honest with you,...it would probably sound and act different with your gear. Also it would be a hard pedal to demo without a camera,...and,...well I don't have anything better than my laptop mounted webcam.

EDIT: Here ya go:

Wait until I pair it with the Devi Warhorse..... :hyper:

She's done :) for now... Just got it back from Xavier, he completed the Brim mod with a fuel tank jr. mounted underneath the board, wire organization, and rubber feet. I really want a groove regulator but it won't fit on my board right now.
