PYPB 41 - Fred The Goldfish

Here is my current pedalboard. I did a massive overhaul back in March/April, and I haven't had a chance to document it.

I got rid of my first pedal that I got back in 2007, my TU-2, for the smaller footprint of the Polytune Mini. So worth it.

I also switched out my beloved Pork Loin for the Darkglass Vintage Microtubes, partly because of space constraints, partly because the VM sounds so amazing.

I held onto my Phat Phuk B, Nimbus, and Carbon Copy.

I added a TC Electronic Ditto so that I can mess around with loops while I'm in my bedroom and doing some experimental jam sessions with my jam band.

I love this board, and it is safe to say that I will not be overhauling it ever again. It is a perfect size, perfect amount of pedal/board value, and it is so easy to setup and tear down.
The new board has made life even easier for me!
 
My other board is with EBS and DARKGLASS pedals.
The third is my MXR board.
The 4th is a Grande with MONDO supply. The problem? I have so many many pedals and too many options!!!
ARGHHH...

That's what happened with me for dirt pedals. I have 5 to a possible 7 different flavor a of dirt on my board. But I use them all in different situations and love the hell out of them. When I get another 1spot, I'm putting my odb3 back on.
 
I have four dirt pedals on the board and use only two of them for what we currently play, but I'm for some reason still reluctant to remove the other two. On the time-out shelf sits another three dirt pedals. And just a short while ago I didn't even consider anything but the cleanest possible sound ... strange. :)
 
Updated pedal board. Synthy goodness with the octamizer, pickle and xero. Love it. Still watching many pedals on eBay but not really sure what's next. Thinking either rainbow machine, DL4 or expression pedal. Hmmmm..

Get a Zoom MS-60b! In one spot you can get a hundred different filter sounds to complement your bajillion dirts. Worked for mjac, and it might keep you from slipping down the filter rabbit hole :D

I may consider this actually now that I think about it. It's more inexpensive than a corona chorus. Hmmmm. Are the modulation effects on it pretty authentic sounding though? I've only had one multi processor before and it left a very bad taste in my mouth. I'm sure they've come a long way since though, that was over ten years ago.
