PYPB 44: ...like Tetris with boxes, wires and cables

He who dies with the most knobs wins. :)
Knobs huh?
Got too many of them...
Dare I say I'm done lol?
Freaking love this small board and only moved things around for easier access and got me the Afterneath that replaced freeze.
Sub machine replaced OC-3 earlier this summer and it is doing a good job!

If I would change anything, it would be the ms-70cdr for an Eventide h9max. But that would require a bigger board and a better power supply
 
The micro flange isn't a real wild flange effect it's more subtle than the "robot voice" sounding flanges. I like the saucy box for some really light OD that breaks up when I dig in. The drive knob is a blend/gain knob so at lower settings there's enough clean signal that there's no low loss.

Sounds like I'll stick with my EVH Flanger and I'll have to try the Saucy Box. I have a Pork Loin that stays OD'd to the max.

Yeah you can do a lot more with the evh, I'm not a huge flange fan but just want a touch every now and then. I'm not sure what circuit the saucy is. It was called a "Klon killer" by Premire Guitar when it first came out but many have said its not a Klon and sounds like it may be a different take on the pork loin. Even at max gain where the clean signal is dialed out it still retains pretty good lows. It's become an almost always on pedal for me. I play in a country band and leave it on set where it's pretty clean and a little gritty when I dig in. I only turn it off when we play a ballad or more acoustic driven song.

I just hate that the EVH needs 18 volts.

I remember when it came out there were a few naysayers saying it sucked for bass so I didn't bother trying it or looking into it more. Maybe I should've.
 
I just hate that most power supplies don't offer enough 12v and 18v (and Radial ToneBone-friendly 15v) outlets.

I want as much headroom across my board as possible. If a pedal can run at 18v (and many of mine can, if not most) then I want that extra voltage.

The GigRig power supply and its modularity is about the only one that can do it, however, it is much too royal for my blood.

The MXR ISO Brick is weird for this. You've got 2x 18V, 6x 9V, and 2x variable 6-15V. That's actually too many non-9V for most people in my experience. For all its flaws, that is always something to look at it you need more high voltage stuff.
