M Sterling, how are you incorporating the B3 with the rest of your effects? I just picked one up today, and I've got a bunch of single effects as well, and I'm searching for ideas. Thanks.

PYPB 38: When 'a few' just isn't enough...

Well, it depends on the gig, really. On the big board, I'm using it at the end of my chain as a looper, eq, LPF, synth or step sequencer. On the small board, it handles everything except octave (sometimes), od/distortion/fuzz and compression ( ie filters, detune, modeling, phaser, and flange ). So far the B3 has proven itself useful in numerous ways, I just wish the pitch shift wasn't so horrendous.
Finally got it where I want it...I love this!!!
The very few pedals I'd even want at this point don't exist yet so...
Unfortunately the awesome pedals I have that I don't have room for could make another killer board.

The Dark'Stacheordactyl has to be one of the most OUTRAGEOUS pedals I've ever seen.
What's running thru the blender?

You mean the Fuzzrociousaurus? I LOVE it so much!
In my Xblender I have the Groove Regulator, SS/BS Mt. Range, Polytope, Xerograph, Elements of the Frazz, BMS and Flanger.
epic board tigerbass. So much going on there.
this is a pedaltrain right?? if so, have you got your rows on risers?? I find them pretty crucial

Latest incarnation. Minor changes to the order and promoted the Memory Toy from my acoustic guitar board, just to see if I can make this work for me this time around, or until I decide to make another change.
He's been going to raves. Drinking orange juice. Talking like he's in Limp Bizkit. Wearing all kinds of neon things. It's really much better we don't see him like this.

I'll take anything you dont need or have room for, your pink stache has a nice place on my board
Here's my latest rendition...
I removed the relay/mute/volume pedal, shifted the Sub D to the right, verticalized the Proton, and added a simple relay box to the underside. Now everything is accessible and upright. Really happy with this setup, but still find too much overlap with the Unpleasant Surprise and tafm, at least the way I'm using em. But since I can't think of what else I'd need (or can currently afford), the board will stay as is for a while.
Ok, maybe I'll save up for an Expressionator and Mission EP1 or similar...

I'm off to the studio this weekend to record a new single for release over the coming months and rather than take the full massive board I thought i'd just put all the pedals I need to play this one particular track on my Diago Showman... They don't fit 
1 songs worth of pedals won't fit on a Showman... Uh oh

My latest incarnation. I am going for bright, gritty rock sound mostly.

A Scrambler, huh? Never had a chance to try one. I've got a Sub Blaster and it's pretty awesome. How's that Scrambler?

Thanks, it's really easy to make too. 1 Hammond 1590A, 4 Switchcraft jacks, and 4 little lengths of 22awg hookup wire. A little time with the soldering iron and some 5lb double sticky tape and my board has an in/out box!
Why thank you. It's become a fun (and expensive) hobby...

That's a pretty epic board you got there Tigerbass.
