Yeah, that's pretty outstanding!

I'm getting there, although I'm not going to exercise my Tetris skills until I have a couple more pedals that I want and some better cables. Can't decide if I wanna go George L's or Lava...Here's what I got so far:

The placement of the pedals isn't quite as logical as I'd like, but it was the only way of squeezing
the pedals in, and in a way where I can reach all bypass switches that I may want to step on.

The Thumpinator had to go after the Euphoria to negate the phase inversion it causes.
Apart from that, and the tuner not being last, the order is what I want.

So, no more excuses now, go and practice already. :bassist:

Love it. Love it lots.

How do you like that Euphoria? I love mine!

So far I only use it with the BEF, but I've dabbled with the hot hand controlling the m9. I just didn't find any uses for it yet. I like having the option of controlling any expression though and there are a couple of pedals on my gas list that can probably put it to good use.

Interesting. That's why I've thought about the Universal Hothand too. I can't think of any particular ways I'd use it in my current gig settings, but I've got several pedals that I could use it with. Having it as a zazzy accessory for my Zoom B3 would be my primary motivation for buying it at the moment.

Thanks for the feedback! :bassist:

You have reminded me that the option is even there though. I've hooked it up to the m9 and had fun controlling things like reverb swells and tremolo speeds. Using the pitch glide with hothand was wacky, but I haven't milked a musical vibe out of it yet

my 3 newest pedals are...
boss rv-2 (replaced ehx holy stain) love it!
boss ce-2b (replaced mxr micro chorus) love it!
hardwire tl-2 (replaced boss odb-3) not sure about this one yet.
i don't think i'm gonna add anymore then the 12 pedals i have on the board. the only thing i foresee doing in the future is upgrading some stuff.

Kinda pales in comparison to some of the boards on here, but here's mine. Just waiting on delivery of a Zoom MS-60B to fill in the space.

Not much, but works fine for me!

How does the Hardwire compare to the Green Mile? Since they are both born from the tubescreamer family do they sound similiar or are the EQ curves different?

The CM-2 is more versatile with the 2 bands of EQ, so it has become my always on tone fattener. I use the GM for a little more aggressive break up. It works really well with the Sweeper for filter/dirt. Didn't much care for the dirt setting on the Sweeper, so I run it clean setting and use the GM to add the dirt. It's a warmer break up. Both the Sweeper and the GM settings work well separately and together.

J!

You guys seem to be adding pedals and I'm just sitting here and taking them away...started out with 5, then down to 3, then 2, and now just 1.

Picked it up earlier this week. Its a custom bluebeard clone with an added mids knob and tone bypass. Better in every aspect over my Mojo Hand Colossus, which is now on my guitar board. SI much bottom end its ridiculous. I dont have a real bluebeard to compare it too but it sounds amazing! Best fuzz I've ever had the pleasure to hear. The mids knob is basically a forget about the guitar player knob, it doesnt cut, it smashes the mix. Goes from feedback, to sludgy, to growly, to synthy all depending on how physically I play, even with the gain dimed, it stays dynamic and chords dont mud up.

So, no more fuzz GAS, and Im not a big effects guy besides OD/distortion/fuzz, so I think I may be good for awhile at until I get an email from Sonny that I'm up for a real bluebeard, then Ill stack bluebeard on bluebeard.
