Small question for you......why does the TU-2 come second in the chain as opposed to first or last? Was it an arbitrary placement or used for muting the zvex, etc?
i think it has to do with the fact that Zachary Vex recommends putting the mammoth first in the chain. apparently, that's the best way to get the best sound out of it.
That was my initial thought, as is true with many fuzz pedals. I just wanted to understand the thought process behind it.
Of course the mammoth is certainly not your ordinary fuzz

I finally got round to taking a pic of my pedalboard (pedal floor in my case).
I think it's pretty obvious how the signal path goes. Still planning to add an EBS Octabass or EHX POG, 2 Boss LS2's (one to loop Bass micro synth and one to loop and clean blend the q-tron) a korg DT10 tuner and i'm going to get a Diago pedalboard too. I also really want a moog low pass filter and ring modulator.

Dunno if it's my love for really big pedals... but that's absolutely gooorgeous

I seem to be a verb, an evolutionary process...

that is sweet... I can go without teh wolly mammoth.. I guess I just have a problem spending $300 on a one-trick pony... but the rest is rather amazing...
Nice!
I've got a DiscumBOBulator instead of the Q-tron and add a nice delay and that's the perfect board. Never tried the mammoth. The LBM seems to get as fuzzy as I need, but I do like rediculous-almost synth-fuzz sounds on occasion.
Wow 00Funk, that whole setup just looks like hours of fun!
There's even a TV for when you're tierd of the rockin'!
And a wireless reciever so you can go make a cup of coffee to get the energy to keep on rockin'!

Well I know you pedal fans are going to hate this but this is my live setup now. Enjoy!

Well, your setup seems to be very interesting IMHO! I used to be a real EHX junkie, but I finally noticed this stuff brings a lot of noise in and without a Boss NS-2 it was quite impossible not to kill my tone, so I kept the BMS (at least!) and sold the Double Muff, the Polychorus, the BassBalls...
Anyway I'm a little bit confused by your pedal chain order
: I've always thought you would get a better sound when placing filters first, so I would have done it this way: QTron > BMS > Mammoth > LBMuff > EMuff'N. 
Just a suggestion... But hey, that's your ears that make the rules! 
I think you're right when planning on getting one or two LS-2s; I've done it with my BMS, so that I can mix it 'cause there's a real volume drop when it's on! And I must admit it works very well...
I'll post my - updated - pedalboard with new photos soon; I'm just waiting to receive some George Ls cables this week, plug the whole stuff, and then...
no hate, mang!
one man's trash is another man's treasure!
but seriously... whatever works, works.
And it does for me for sure, I used to bring a 10 space rack of FX and pedals so at this point it does everything I used to do with stuff like Lexicon, Oberheim and Eventide. My back and my ears are thanking me.
