Still a work in progress, gonna put either a EHx Pog2, Malekko Chaos, or Rainbow Machine soon.

like isher1992 said, it probably would perform like the Boss ODB-3 (and thats not saying much ;) )

Yeah...I never did like the ODB-3. A guitarist friend of mine was going on a bass kick and tried it and asked me my opinion, so I tried it...the consensus was, it wasn't that great.

That being said, I bought an Ibanez PD7 after that and have been really happy. I don't like it for really high gain stuff, but for adding some drive and grit, it works great.

Wow Shep! That's massive!
I really like your board, so many options, so much fun.
And of course, the sounds you get from it are just ace!
The weight is up there, but that's the price you pay for sooooo many good peds (and heavy ones) on one large board I spose!
Good thing your band mates are there to lend a hand.

It's a shame we're only a 2-piece though! :(

I heard the PD7 sounded very ''grunge'', and that's a sound that I like. I might consider it.
It's just... I don't have a lot of options where I live. That's quite desesperating.

Thanks for the kind words guys! Glad you dig "the blue board". I didn't even really plan on having an all blue board, it just kind of happened that way.

My goal was to have a board that maximized versatility while minimizing pedals. I've done the huge board before, and while its awesome, it's just not practical to gig with.

The EP-2 is so awesome because I can flip between a sweet envelope filter sound and phaser sound with the push of a button, without having to adjust any settings.

The EHX SMMH is a great delay because of the tap tempo and the looping capabilities, which I've ended up using much more than I originally thought.

The Analogman Chorus is the only one trick pony on the board, but boy is it a fantastic chorus.

And the Source Audio distortion is the newest on the team. I'm still figuring it all out. I've been able to dial in some awesome, synthy sounds, and some cool, almost fuzz-type tones. I am having a hard time getting it to do a good, light, classic sounding overdrive though, but that's not really what the pedal is designed for.

I like the PD-7 because of the Attack switch and the fact it seems more like it boosts lows than lose them. I hardly use it on 1 or 2 because it does get kind of noisy, and I no longer have an NS-2 since I got my SansAmp, which is what I use to induce those metallic harmonics.

It's hard to find now, because it's been discontinued, but if you want, I can send you some soundclips of it.
