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

well i guess i just want to understand the resemblance it holds to the darkglass stuff. did they work together?

Yeah, the 3Leaf designer worked with Darkglass. Pike Audio is his second branding for bass oriented products. The potential IP issues have been debated to death in that relevant thread, probably not best to discuss it here.

These are from a few years back as i was deciding on what pedals would best work for me after getting the LYT F16, my second factory made pedal board after many years of making my own. I had been using a Furman pedalboard for a while at the end of my touring days that I still have but have to keep things as light as possible these days.

Here come another couple of versions playing tetris to find the get more goodies. At this point I had just added the GGG BrassMaster built by Karter2000 and was missing my favorite chorus. Along with a trusty BassBalls that pedal was a companion and survived my travels and travails.

Here are 3 new pedals making time on the board the [sfx]AY2 and Electronix Cross Drive. There is also a Rocktron Tru-Loop. For the longest time I had used a Boss PSM5 and was really missing having a loop to quickly bypass effects and being able to set up combinations. Sadly the Cross Drive is dead and need to get it repaired.

Here go another revision and a version of my short board for practices and smaller gigs. Adding a mThumpinator and Boss AW2 and Boss LS2.

The B2.1u is mostly what I need but having extra adds to the fun, the Rocktron Heart Attack is a pretty good take on the BassBalls, it is still around on my guitar board in the studio.

Keeping in the current theme, here's a pedal board that is in a continual state of flux.

I may have to post a series of past iterations to show how on one hand I've never increased the size of my board and I rarely stray from particular types of effects, and on the other hand, I've probably tried every TB fav effect in the past 10 years.

We'll see... anyway, the space in the middle will soon be filled by a Brown Dog fuzz.
