Yup. His back is doing fine, and I think he's off his meds, but he's in a metal band, so the doctors and the psych warden are on standby just in case. :D

Well since the circuit board is all one long piece and since I wanna save space, I did some quick measurements and I'm looking at a box 11.5 x 3.5 x 3/3.5 in. Length, depth and height respectively.

So yea, a BDDI, albeit a squished one... :D


I thought about making it rackmountable, but I'm not sure if I'm gonna have a rackable amp or not down the road. Plus it's less costly to get a metal casing fabricated, I'm an Architecture student and know CAD, so It saves me some cash designing the box. I'll throw a thread up with pics of the plans when I get them dome/happy with them.

Finally made myself a board... and it's a copy of Brad's board! lol i'm sure he got himself a better one now though :P

I use this for my guitar and bass. I unplug the Bass Whammy when playing guitar just incase that screws it up :s
And the Metal-zone is for my guitar as well... and kinda for my bass for when i feel like playing H. :P I need a Colorsound ._.'

Btw, anyone know of a good auto-wah? I'm leaning towards the guyatone br-2 since i've seen them for only 60$.

Here's my modest little board at the moment. I have some others, mostly DIY clones that I don't use much or haven't quite finished yet. With my current band I usually only use the tuner and the Big Muff. The pedals are Korg DT-10, Snarling Dogs Blue Doo overdrive, Sovtek Big Muff, and my homemade Brassmaster clone. They're powered by a Godlyke Powerall. I also love my white coiled Bullet cable. :)

You would have to find a BR-2 first, as they aren't manufactured anymore. They're a decent autowah. Good if you want to play Rosetta Stoned. Depends on if you want to replicate some Tool sound or not. The BR-2 is a nice pedal, but I would say it's not as versatile as a Q-Tron or pedals of that nature.

Oh, and I'll trade you my Colorsound for your Bass Whammy ;)

Consider the MXR Bass Auto Q for an auto wah. Its a great pedal and does a very nice envelope filter type sound as well.

Nice white board but it sure has a lot of empty lonely space on it that is just begging for some more pedals! haha

I recently (last couple of weeks) bought a new BR-2. I got it from a place called Steves Music I think. I don't have the link hand at the moment. Cost me about $70 US. Its good with an active bass, like my stingray, but find it doesn't open up very well with say my Rickenbacker. I find that kinda annoying. When its opening properly, its a great pedal. If not, then its extremely boomy.

PS, you can't hurt a bass whammy by running a guitar signal through it :)

Well its not QUITE done, but its close enough... I need to find something to cover the corners, because right now the fabric is just kinda hanging there and I need to cover it so it doesn't rip/tear/etc. easily.

These shots were taken with the camera built-in to my computer, and let me tell you... it was really ****ing awkward to take these pictures! I hope you enjoy them, lol

...and yes, that is my foot holding up the pedalboard so you can see the cavity...

...told you they were awkward to take, lol

Yeah it seams pretty nice so far. I posted the signal chain when I posted the unfinished pedalboard 6 pages ago, but here it is again anyways.

Bass => Boss Super Chorus CH-1 => EHX Q-tron =(q-tron effect out)> Ibanez TS-5 => DIY Booster "!!!" => DIY A/B/Y Switch "Naby" => Small Amp
=(q-tron direct out)> EHX POG => EHX LBM => "Naby" => Big Amp
