Lots of sweet boards to start this thread! You guys are rockin some sweet gear! I see a lot of familiar pedals too!

Here's my latest board, +Submarine, -BDDI. It should stay like this for a while. I don't need much more, though I'll most probably get an Elements when GAS finally wins me over. That brown/beige gears graphic looks awesome. Plus, rumors are it sounds good... I'd like a 2-channel blender sometimes too..

How does the Monarch work on bass? Do you have any clips of it?

I don't have soundbites (getting some home recording gear next week..) but I can tell you that I'm loving the Monarch. When I first looked into it, I heard about people blending it with their clean signal but found I didn't need too as it doesn't seem to lose low end much, if at all.

I started out using it as an always-on lite overdrive but I've found that I like it just as much, if not more, with the gain cranked up. The fact that it can do from little grit to really dirty is what I like the most about it. I got it to replace a Blackout Mantra, which was only good at high gain and lost low end a bit..
 
@bassisfun: how's that Boss PH-1R?

i really like like it, there is a special character to it that i like. granted it is also only the 3rd phaser i've ever had/used. the only other phasers i've tried is the mxr phase 90, and the maxon phase tone. either way, i really like the adjustability of this phaser, and i think it works really well on bass. its a neat pedal for sure.

Latest incarnation here. Starting to find the big flat Warwick Rockcase board a bit annoying and untidy at times and I'm having to get more and more creative with cables and power. At this stage, the Burkey powers everything - including the Rusty Box and Valvedrive. The one thing about a flat, static board is that I have very few issues with settings or cables getting bumped. It just a shame that it always looks like a science experiment!

Chain is -

Strobostomp -> Roadrage Looper -> Rusty Box (Loop 1) -> EBS Valvedrive (Loop 2) -> Dwarfcraft Baby Thundaa + Fuzzrocious Rat Tail (Loop 3) -> Fuzzrocious BDPG (Loop 4) -> Pog 2 + Infanem Faye Sing (Loop 5) -> TC Flashback + Xerograph Deluxe (Loop 6)
 
just restuffed everything on my board, the results are below

bass > micro pog> jhs low drive> jhs four wheel> fuzzrocious pink stache> ehx graphic fuzz> jhs pandamonium> jhs lime aid> polytune mini> amp
