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

I think this is my first post ever in this thread :

I've been using a B3 for such a long time, but after having discovered Source Audio, I'm in the feeling of getting all Source Audio with a MIDI setup !
Next are PEQ, HUB and maybe an OFD

You're gonna love the OFD and PEQ. Yummy stuff. Very yummy.

Newly redone board. Never used to be big on effects, but each piece has gained it's place based mainly on need, not want, so everything gets used, every show. Lots of options, and room to grow. Pedaltrain PT3, powered by a Voodoo Labs 4x4.
 
Finally have all running through a PP2 also adding the Polytune mini. Had to modify a voltage doubling cable with a 2.5mm reverse polarity cable or wait another 10 days for a one off to be made.
Here's the kicker. The one pin positive cable received with the PP2 was used for the splice… Along wih the triple negative pin 2.1mm connector cable. Needed Negative pin 18v for the Trace Elliot SMX… So flip the leads on the splice and all good, right? No.
It seems the polarity flip is on the Power supply 2.1mm side of the pin positive 2.5mm cables. Go figure.
While confirming all of this noted there was no voltage coming through the ground lifted side of their splitter… Well yeah, ground is lifted so it will not pass current till the pedal is connected.
Have a gig coming up and we get to use some other bands amps... It will be nice to just walk in with Bass and this in the road case with only one power cord to connect.

What a scary thought ... but don't worry, that will pass. :whistle:
haha! Every time I think that there's always something more I want. I just added in the SA Hub and MIDI Mouse, I went from wanting more dirt to being able to switch up my OFD presets like crazy. It's already kicked so much dirt off my board it's almost unfair!

Dat Blower Box tho....If only I had more room...

maybe I need a bigger board..

I'll need more pedals to fill up the blank space on that board....

My lord....we need a therapy group >.<

Edit : LOL didn't even notice the LED carrot

Some smaller changes to my board today; swapped the tuner and tremolo so I can reach the tremolo's switches, and made a riser for the Wonderlove so I can connect an expression pedal at the front. Also, the Thumpinator will stay at the end of the chain instead of the beginning, I think it's better there.

Always love seeing that board. Very nice. I really like how the wonderlove is placed so that the expression connector is just at the right height. Very well thought out.

Thought I was done until I impulse-bought that battering ram. That thing is insane! Super happy with it. I just need to attach the third pedal power underneath to be finalized. I can't believe with a pt-pro that I have to kick things off the board.

I am a pedalholic.
