lol. i like that Fabey's got his stuff, he's comfy with it, most of it hasn't changed in awhile so you can tell he's happy with his setup. at the last Cali GTG there were some gooooood sounds coming out of there.
that said, i would punch kittens in frustration with everything jammed up that close together. that doesn't MEAN anything, 'cause it works for him and who cares what i like? but i always have the same reaction too. i'd soooooooo spend the time to slap it on a "proper" board to get more access. again, who cares, his setup works for him and he digs it.
man. i want some food. think i'm going to go do that.

If it works it works. Lots of people go down the DIY route, or use alternatives to mainstream boards! I doubt any of us would suggest Justin Chancellot should buy a PT Pro! Lol.
Never thought of my set up as 'clinical' - I quite like that explanation. Clinical Dubstep

Fabe - my only worry looking at your pics is that the lip of the board would make it hard to hit the footswitches... As in they look to be below the level of the board. Is it just the picture than makes it look that way?
Shep
I just last week made the move from my old DIY board to a PT. I dig it more for convenience's sake more than for any sort of anal-retentive neatness issues. I'm hardly a neat-freak, my wife would confirm that. But it is cool to be able to route cables and power under the board between pedals. And it finally made me get a proper power supply and make some decent cables.
Im more a glorified bedroom player and only gig once a month (busy schedule). The case is from work (have a friend in the O.R.) and it works really well as long as I have socks on. With shoes the Boost DLA can be a little hard to get to but everything else works great!
As far as getting a PT-PRO it's a big maybe as this case has sooooo many fond memories already and as you can see lots of cool stuff on it (and in it)
And hey I know all you cool TB'ers enough to know that it wasn't a bad suggestion just a friendly one! The footswitches being close works for me and if you also notice the way I have them laid out is all purposeful. At least in my crazy head! Also I know it looks like it but the bottom row is very easy to access even with the lip of the box.
Thanks for all the props peeps! I love my damn board and see very little (if any) change in its future. It has everything I want and nothing else! FTR: Ebow> Way Huge Swollen Pickle > EHX Hog set as a orig,+5th,+1/5th with oct bend reversed> Space Echo just plain kills!
Love the Space Echo so much that I originally sold it for an El Capistan but sold that and came back to this....IT'S SOOOOO DAMN DIRTY!

I actually like seeing the varying boards almost as much as the different pedals. There's some pretty clever peeps around here.

As fun as it is to drool over everyone's shiny gear, there's a lot of fun in seeing how they fit it all together. Seeing how people repurpose things for board use is great too, I never would have thought of some of those things.

Meant it as a compliment, it is so well organized and thought out, it's way above stomp and strum.
I really dig what you and the drummer are doing but the rap is just not my thing.
I had an epiphany and realization I wasn't complying with my philosophy of "Function over Name". As much as I like the FEA 2 CH Mixer, it's gain knobs start at signal level and go up. I cannot reduce the level of a channel. In switching to the KFK-1 EQ as my channel splitter -- and because I really wanted a simple EQ at the head of the chain again for my clean sound -- I couldn't control the output level to to each channel. Despite being passive, the Cave Bass Ming-Rod jacks up the signal level something fierce, so much so it buries the clean channel like Jimmy Hoffa.
So...I had to admit to myself that I was ignoring my LS-2 as the solution because it had Boss written on it. This is one case where its buffer really doesn't matter as the pedal will always be on to allow sound, or off to mute it for tuning.
So, the new signal chain goes like this:
Separate Ways -> KFK-1 channels 1 and 2
(1) Tuner -> DBD -> LS2
(2) BMR -> LS2
LS2 (-> DI)
I ran this setup through my mixer board to head phones, and through my GK amp and it is working very well. I can now blend in the BMR's fuzzy sound to taste.
In theory, I could run a cable from the parallel out on the Separate Ways to the LS2's normal input and give myself THREE signal chains. But, that almost seems ludicrous. Almost. And I would lose the muting function the LS2 now provides.
And now I have an FEA 2 CH Mixer lookin' at me and sayin', "Replaced by a Boss pedal, come on!"
Function, not name. Always.
Except, of course, if it is my pedal endorser.

What happened to the guy who used a Rubbermaid trash can lid for his pedals?
Here is mine in its latest, and most likely 'stable for a while' incarnation. This is what I've been working up to, so here it is.
Sadly, the DMC-3XL is not working (at least I have no idea how to get it to function). So I sent a note to DAA today for help. (sigh) So wanted to play with this today as its the first one in a week I've had the time to.
Expression wheel for the DMC is in the upper right. Still waiting on a cable for that. It will soon sit atop a relay box I'm making. Waiting on the parts for that too.
The shiney pedal with the big knob is the BYOC 440 filter w/fixed wah. The big knob controls the sweep, so its like an expression wheel. Neat.

*Disclosure: NOT my pedalboard. I don't even know the man, but found this on another forum and immediately thought "behndy".
Here ya go mate:
****. ME. that is so damn beautiful. and it's crazy good gear too.
JELLY.
I think that belongs to a dude on Harmony Central if I'm not mistaken. Of course I could be. hah
Awesome board! I did a pink pedal tonight that I'll post pics of tomorrow. Sexy pink.

yah. my "Pretty Pricess Pink" DMC3 is purdy, my pink lettered 2nd Voice is adorable and i LOVE my sparkly pinko TAFM with a burning infected passion that will not die.
I had a few pedals laying around, begging to be used, so I put together the PT-Mini tonight with the following:
The Octa-Bass sits in channel 2 and adds a very nice overdrive/octave-fuzz sound to the whole mix. The combo of the Barber Launch Pad and FEA 2 CH Mixer is awesome. And that Behringer EQ continues to live on for me.
Buzz was protecting the board from one of my cats.
