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

Had a major change up this evening, here's my board as it is now

After working on this for five hours, then playing with it for twenty minutes, I realized this is overkill. Lot of redundancies. A couple of the pedals are rather close to each other sonically. I enjoy it, and make it work. Please excuse the shoddy photography.

Signal chain is as follows

Input/output box

Boss ls2
Send A - oc2 and dubscope
Send B - nothing YET

2 channel bypass looper
Send 1 - markbass synth
Send 2 - tiny clean boost - darkglass b3k (was gonna use the boost to push the b3k a bit more but it's fine on its own, so I'm gonna swap the boost out for another 1590a pedal)

Boss slicer
Line6 m5 w exp pedal
Lovepedal echo baby

Pearce bc1
ISP decimator
Palmer di with speaker sim

Then to my amp

Hope I didn't forget anything!!
 
Everyone is going hip with the photos, and since my board is nothing special, I figured why not go overboard with the photo! :D

Chain:
Polytune mini > Boss OC-2 > Micro POG > Subdecay Prometheus > Carl Martin Plexitone clone > Tech 21 Leeds > Big Muff Triangle clone > Fulltone '70 BC fuzz clone > Maxon Chorus > Xotic Bass RC Booster

I don't know, the Prometheus is pretty special. The Fulltone BC fuzz clone is also intriguing.
 
:eek: thats great!! How does this Chain go?

Thanks! Chain is:

bass>pitchblack>optifet>OC2>xblender in/out>paraeq

the loop is:

x-blender send>pickle pie>oxide>dha>M5 (controlled by ebvp)>BEF pro>frantabit>polytope>xero D (controlled by ep2)>nimbus>x-blender return

I'm thinking about getting another Badger Schism. I miss the parallel looping a lot sometimes. Trying to think of a cool way to implement the x-blender with a separate parallel looper. Craziness, I know...
 
Haven't posted in a bit because I've been working on my board. It's almost done. Just need to either A)get another small board or B) get a different type of board. I'm thinking B.

Still have a few things on the way Creepyfingers Pink Elephant, Zoom B3 and a Dual Elements.

Also I need to add that despite popular opinion, the Megalith does in fact stack well with some other pedals. For instance my B3K. Sounds great with that sucker.

I may be getting rid of one Megalith...dunno yet. Maybe....

Off the board at the moment: Another Robot Devil in a smaller enclosure and Ugly Face. Going to get those one somehow...again. Different board.

I've also realized I need a looper and a blender. hmmm....
