Post Your Pedalboard: Part 10, X Rated!

I can't get it working.
I spent lots of time on it too, built 2 boards. Everything is right but it's just not working together. The starve knob completely cuts the signal if it's anywhere below 9 o'clock and does absolutely nothing above that. The blend doesn't blend and just acts as a second volume knob. The fuzz works and sounds great. I think I need to try and build a blender and a starve pedal separately and if those work then try to build them all into one pedal again. But it looks cool as hell.

Also, in that first post I meant to say I went from that to this.

But I've got like 3 more pedals coming, so it should start to fill out again.
That sucks. Don't give up though, keep at it. When it finally does decide to work I'm sure it'll be worth all the headache.
Edit: Anyone have a better thread title? It's the best I could come up with on short notice.

Everything was used on the album we just finished... Except for the ODB-3 that was replaced with an XXL... and the DD-3 that is not pictured....
The album will be called "7 Days"

Just got my pedalboard together. Any advice on the signal chain?
So far the signal flow goes...
DOD a/b box, strobe tuner, dual looper
loop 1: Dan Armstrong FX Machine (green ringer, blue ripper, and orange crusher cascaded in one box), MXR Auto-Q, Dunlop TS-1 tremelo, Echolution
loop 2: Maestro PS-1A phaser
output of looper: Trace Elliot EQ, Range Voodoo (Rangemaster style boost), Alesis Micro limiter (off the board)

For Part XI, maybe we could go with Spinal Tapped: These go to eleven!
bkbirge, looks like decent place to start. Experiment until YOUR ears are happy. What's going to be in the loop? And what are you A/B'ing? Basses? Amps?

The loops are listed, no plans to add anything though I might drop the Dan Armstrong at some point and/or swap out the phaser with a smaller box (but it sounds so good). I'm A/B'ing a fretless passive PJ and either an old hybrid upright or more rarely a Danelectro 6 string tic tac bass. The upright has a decent preamp so it's level matched to the PJ before it hits the chain.
damn it... it is the 10 part and i still haven't updated... hope i make it before number 11 or not 
i have a big surprise for you guys and it will go nice with x rated hehehe

I'll snag a placeholder for myself. I think I've finally got my pedalboard where I want it for the time being.
Edit: Pics are here!
Here's how I've laid out my board. Signal chain goes:
Bass -> Peterson Strobostomp 2 -> EHX HOG (with EBVP Expression Pedal, mod by Tone Czar) -> Demeter Compulator -> Barge Concepts VFB Custom [Loop 1] (EHX Big Muff Pi, modded into a smaller box) -> Wilson Effects 12-position Bass Wah vintage spec -> Barge Concepts VFB Custom [Loop 2] (EBS BassIq -> Boomstick Bottom Feeder) -> Malekko B:Assmaster -> HBE Hematoma -> Visual Volume 10th Anniversary -> MXR Carbon Copy -> Boss BF-3 -> Analogman Bi-Chorus w/depth switch -> Amp
This is all laid out on a pedaltrain pro board.
The gratuitous "night" shot.
The mess of wiring underneath. Oh yeah, the gray color inside the rubber feet is some epoxy that I filled in there because the feet kept on falling off when the board was on carpet. Anyone else have that problem with their pedaltrains?
I'm still playing around with the order of my hematoma. Probably going to move it to before the wah as I like the way it sounds there the most, even though it will reduce the usefulness of the boost channel. Probably gonna have to find some way to fit a boost pedal on here at some point or another.
