Post your pedalboard, Part XV

Make sure there's a "best looping pedalboard" spot so that I can win
I think you'll grab that title, no contest.
I guess it depends on what full-on OD means to you. For me the Blueberry was exactly what I wanted out of an OD, but I could see how others would see it as not having enough dirt on tap.
But I guess that's just part of the difficulty in differentiating between overdrive, distortion and fuzz. To me the Rust Ride is not an overdrive, but a fairly heavy distortion, but it's still marketed as an OD.
So I'll help keep it going...nothing new but I figured I'd post it again for whoever wanted to see.
Awesome! That's at the top of my favorite pedalboards list. Can't wait to see what you come up with next.
I kinda want a Pedal Pad now :/
But the only thing is...it seems you have holes for your cables where as this pedal pad does not...

They really are great.
See, there's something I don't understand when it comes to the mentality of having big, heavy pedalboards. It seems to be a growing trend (with pedalboards) that most people are in favor of smaller, lighter, more compact boards but my feeling is this...
We already lug around big, heavy, obnoxious amps and cabinets so what's one more semi-heavy box to throw in the car, van, tour bus, etc?

Plus, I care for my pedals the same as I do my basses....
Can all of us (or most of us) agree that we would ALWAYS take our basses in a case?
Either hardshell or soft, the bass is completely protected. I do the same with my pedals, that's the only thing really stopping me from a pedaltrain, etc because then I have to find a case for it. The pedalpad does both jobs, keeps everything together and is already a road case.

Exactly! I'll be getting a big heavy pedalboard to put my collection on real soon.

Thanks man
My new board will spice things up a bit.
You really do have a great board. Are you playing the DiscomBOBulator into the Depth Charge? Any thoughts on that order compared to vice-verca? I currently have a Depth Charge going into my EP-1, but may have to give it a try the other way around.
So how do you route your cables? I need to see your board in some white light
The signal chain:
Bass-->2 loooper-->amp
Tuner out into the Korg.
Loop 1: Whammy-->Prunes-->Emma-->Landmine
Loop 2: Depth Charge-->Bassdrive-->Sansamp-->Flanger-->Choralflange-->Delay
I like the way envelope filters sound better usually before fuzz and distortion. (Some funk/synth guys will prefer it the other way by letting the fuzz control the envelope)
I have the option of using both, which is the reason the Emma is between the Prunes and the other dirt boxes.
On my new board, I'm going to be putting one fuzz AFTER my main overdrive because I already like how it's sounding. It's keeping the warmth and fatness of the overdrive (bassdrive) but putting the Attack Goat after it sounds killer.
The other way around, the fuzz gets swallowed up by the overdrive. We'll see how it goes.

routing meaning do you put the cables underneath the tier? It looks like the cables go under the board.
I'm not excane, but I can say that I see all of the patch cables when I look close. He's just been efficient with them (looks to me like none of the cables are even a little longer than they need to be). I'm sure the darkness of the picture helps a little.
You're both correct...some cables are underneath but the majority are all visible and just tucked in between the pedals.
