Actually the pictures look like they were taken with a cell phone as there is a great deal of noise, and they don't look too focused. I've rarely been able to take good pictures with a camera. The best I've been able to get with my phone were some shots of a Massive Attack concert where the stage lights were SUPER bright and I was literally three feet from the stage.More pedals than light bulbs, apparently.
Either that, or it's time to clean the camera lens/get a better flash/get brighter lights/turn the lights on/get a better camera.
Closed
Open (yeah, green velvet
)Ins and outs: 2 in, 2 out, and there's a passive DI box mounted inside, at the end of the chain of course.
Pedalz! It's a homemade TBP looper, with A/B in and out, 'loop all' and two isolated loops.
The Zoom is in a loop (I ran out of patch cables to do any more looping...) I'm looking to 'replace' the zoom with a microPOG and BMS, the ODB-3 with a Tech21 XXL Bass, and add a BBE Optostomp in the gap that will be created when I get some more right angled patch cables.
I'm using the zoom for crazy-synthy-pitch-shifting-madness, and delay (for the moment)
I'd love to fit a delay on there if I can...maybe squeeze the tuner in elsewhere and put a Headrush in the space created.
The chain is in>BSW>Chorus>Trem>Zoom (looped)>LBM>ODB-3>BF-2>EQ>Volume>out.
Tuner is tapped off the second output of the chorus.
And of course, the nightshot(s). Those blue LED's are murderously bright!
Build post over in the homemade thread, if you're interested.
Any input on chain/combos/future purchases/anything else is very welcome indeed!

Is there a reason why the bypass strip is not at the bottom of the board? I would think that you would be stepping on that the most.

its been a long time!!!
sold my board and what's left was just the VT Bass (can't gig without it!), ST-200 tuner. bought back my MXR BOD and bought an MXR BEF few months back. i've been playing for months with just the VT. its too difficult for me to move from places to places with my Bass and Pedalboard.

I'm not using the strip very much at the moment (explained in my previous post) so the layout is what suits me most at this time.
When I get more patch cables I'll have to pretty much completely rewire the board anyway, so repositioning isn't a biggie for me right now.
I've added a few new pedals to my PT Jr since I posted in Part 23...or was it Part 24? It does everything I need...for now. Signal path is bottom to top, left to right. TLC feeds into the MXR EF. I just did this up tonight. The two Aguilar pedals are brand new. I'm not sure if I like the TLC where it is now. I might like to try it first in the chain. The Aguilar pedals are ridiculously overbuilt (I like that a lot). But they are a lot bigger than they need to be. The circuit board inside is pretty small, actually. Plus, the in/out jacks on the top totally screw up your cable management. They do sound good though. My favorite pedal is still by far the VT Bass. Can't live without it.
Bottom. I love those zip tie bases. This could be neater but I got tired of messing with it. None of the cables touch the ground. That's really all that matters.

Nice board mikeddd!
How are the zip tie bases held to the frame? Do they have adhesive bottoms?

thanks man!
it took me sometime to figure it out, i almost forget how i wired them!
but here it goes:
ST-200 to Loop-master double looper
1st loop: MXR BOD to Octavius Squeezer
2nd loop: Bass BB
double looper out to Mini Single Looper
loop: Analogman to RV-3
single looper out to VT Bass to Serrano Picoso
ST-200 INPUT to pedal patcher SEND
serrano picoso OUT to pedal patcher RETURN
X2 wireless to pedal patcher IN
pedal patcher out to AMP

Yup, those zip tie bases are a lifesaver. Most of them have adhesive bases. They stick pretty well assuming the surface is clean. The bigger ones also have a hole in the middle that you can drive a screw through. Very handy for tying up cabling when there's nothing to tie it to. I.E. running coax cable for cable TV thru the attic or even outside the house.

Nice! Thanks.
The day that I finally decide on a final setup, I will be ordering quite a few of these. They look awesome.Yup, those zip tie bases are a lifesaver. Most of them have adhesive bases.
