PYPB 37: In a row?

I've posted this on another thread but thought I'd put it up here.

Built and designed by me and inspired from several other much nicer boards I've seen on here. It features on-board AC outlets for the 2 wall warts because the ART and the Alesis require AC power. A 1Spot with a pigtail powers everything else. I thought it was a much cleaner look and it takes only 5 minutes to get setup.

Next thing I want to add is an octave pedal but finances are tight. In the future possibly a better/different synth pedal and a nicer tube pre. I use this setup ampless with IEM's and it works great.

It was designed to fit in a case I got at Harbor Freight for transporting and so far it's been hassle-free.

Cool board :)
How's the micro flanger on bass ?

It's still very much a work in progress. I've got mission engineering expression and volume pedals on the way. I'm pretty sure I'll be ordering a rat tail or rat king by the end of next week and then I want to add another delay. Once I do all that and settle on a layout I'll finally wire it up with george L's and clean it up a bit.
 
Thanks! It's great but at first the signal was too hot so I sent it back to MXR who were nothing but awesome read about it here:

Thx, that pedal has gotten me curious in the last few weeks. I agree with your statement about Dunlop. I had a similar problem with my Stereo Chorus and they were very helpful. They are amazing. Tech21 is also like that. Great companies to buy products from, IMO.

Here's my latest board, got the CC last week. I'm liking it, the darker regens are a nice change of pace compared to the digitalness of my Boss delay. But I'm having a problem with it boosting the volume a lot when used with my comp. The comp volume is set at unity, maybe a little lower than the bypassed tone and I usually use it always-on. Whenever I hit the delay, volume goes way higher even with the Mix knob completely rolled off. I don't have that problem my DD-3 but I guess that may have something to do with the buffer... So I'm kinda confused by that.. Maybe gotta try comp after everything?!?

Shaping up very nicely.
 
There are some TASTY boards on this page, but MAN!!!...

that HOG is so sechs!

hell yeah, thanks fo the love yo.
it can do so many things, i have the foot controller on standby, but for my current band only use it at one setting and click on the filter if needed. also the expression pedal is ESSENTIAL , which is to the left of my volume ped i'm using in the pic. I've also been loving the options the spectral gate gives me. owwww what a great pedal....:p
 
A few pages back I mentioned my 'summer project' - to use my current pedals to create a 'stripped down' board for smaller shows and for backing MC's etc, rather than performing as Our Helical Mind in general.

I've spent a few weeks planning and the board I settled on was a Diago Showman - large by many bassists standards, but tiny for me. It's was the most suitable size for my essentials. Its not powered or cabled yet (plugs in sockets to show me how much space I have) but here is draft 1...

Proposed signal chain is...
Stage Clix Wireless >
Boss OC-2 >
TC Electronic Polytune Mini >
FUZZROCIOUS Grey Stache >
WMD Geiger Counter >
WMD Super FatMan >
Custom Iron Ether Xerograph (in the space marked with tape) >
Moogerfooger Cluster Flux >
TC Electronic Flashback Delay

The MP-201 will control 3 parameters of the Xero and the feedback of the Cluster Flux.

It's likely to change... But this should work nice!
