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

[alfonso_bundis]

I need to arrange a bit, and maybe build a proper board to put everything together, but this is the basic idea.
I start with an A/B pedal to switch between my bass and my guitar or iPad, then to a four channels bypass strip with four loops and a master switch.
The last loop has a feedback switch.

Whew!! Spent the better part of yesterday and today soldering patch cable for my board, since I added the 6-loop pedal. Bought the plugs and 100ft of cable from Parts Express, so, while they aren't sexy, they were cheap, and they work. Did a quick test and, thankfully, everything works. My wireless is hiding underneath the Compressore, so I'm at a grand total of 12 pedals. May consider a HPF of some kind in the near future.

Signal chain: X2 wireless > Compressore > Loop pedal > Pitchblack Tuner > A/B box (switches between bass and synth) > output (on front of pedalboard) > amp

BSW, Ultimate Drive, BEF Pro, Manta, Zoom B3 and Line 6 M5 each have their own loop.

So... this finally happened.

Invalid Link Removed

Chain is Bass -> Bypass Looper (Fifth Element Earth etch) -> TurboTuner (Metroid II) -> Amp

Loop order is Octabass (Tecmo Bo Jackson) -> Grey Stache (Fifth Element Water) -> Fuzzrocious Demon (Fifth Element Fire) -> Blackeye Effects Palmetto Boost (Fifth Element Wind) -> Dispatch Master (TARDIS) -> Polytope

All etches by Handsome Beard Etching. All rehousing work by Top Dog Effects (i.e. my father and I).

The Coolest Turbo Tuner Evah!
First one I've seen modded, looks so much better than stock. Bumped up my GAS for one considerably.

Saw that posted on handsome beard etching's facebook last week. Looks sweet.

My latest revision. Apologies for the mess of cables, just rigged it up at home before snapping the pic. Looked a little nicer at practice

I'm really happy with running the OCD and eq with the PSM-5. Considering an A/B, but this setup is doing it for me until I get bored.

The OCD will probably rotate out with other tasty gain-ridden treats as I find them, but I'd like to get a compressor next.

Thanks! The nice thing about the TurboTuner is that the display is screwed into the enclosure, which means that it is easily removable for modding purposes. It would be difficult to etch most tuners since the display usually tends to be permanently affixed to the enclosure.

Speaking of mods, I'm surprised that none of the eagle-eyed pedal fiends on this board have noticed yet that I swapped the input and output jacks on the TurboTuner as well...

Cool... what's the reasoning?

Board positioning. I keep my tuner last in the chain, so that it mutes all possible sounds from the other pedals when activated (which is nice for emergency fiddling with cables and power supplies on stage). Normally this would mean that the pedal would be on the left side of the board so that the output jack would be clear to go out to the amp. However, that top right position makes the cable layout on the board much easier, particularly since the bypass looper at the bottom right feeds into the tuner, so I just swapped the jacks so I could have the tuner on the right side.

My board went through a lot of changes the last few months.
It went from this (in Januari):

To this (now):

As you can see, the only 2 from the original board are the tuner and chorus. Got rid of everything I wasn't using and got the stuff I really need.

Chain: Jazz Bass (American) - tuner - OFD - wah (535q) - VT - Amp (Marshall mb4410 combo). The Tremolo, chorus and delay (Alter Ego, the text is not visible because of the lighting I guess...) are in the fxchain of the VT.

I finally feel like I've got what I need the keep me happy for a long time to come!

Like that slimmed-down Barbershop. Everything else is cool, too, but I envy the small-footprint FBS most.

Finally got MXR back on my board. A lunchtime visit on to a classifieds website, found a BOD at a decent price and the seller was willing to drop it at my office 2 hours later. Was actually looking for a Phase 90, but this deal was to good to pass by, BODs rarely last long on that website. Just in time for Sunday's new band rehearsal, summer party gig on the 26th.

Went to St. Louis tonite to see Young Widows. Here's Nick Thieneman's pedal board (if anyone cares). The pedal blown out by the flash is a Man the Ramparts, which didn't get used.

Bill Murray controls the lights built into their Emperor cabinets.

 

[Adamixoye]

He's got a Bill Murray pedal, so he's got that going for him, which is nice.

 

[El_Ohso]

Yeah , just had this one made for me, it's 28"X22" vs the last one which was 40" X 20", this will be so much more gig friendly!
Best part is it nests in my monster board

Still working on the setup for the extra part.. have to built a raiser… pull out a patchbay ect...

what´s the 5 knob pedal next to the slicer and on top of the destroyer?

Looks like a Copilot Orbit to me!

Just received the Dimehead PLL today. Still rewiring the board but wanted to share.View attachment 438529

How do you find the Warped Vinyl? Seems like a most excellent pedal...

yep, the things are fun

I assembled this to compare some modulation between M9 vs B3 vs analog pedals I own (That BF2B is the 1st pedal I bought about 20 yrs ago):

 

[jasonmitsch]

What are your results? I'm super curious because I have an m9 but no zoom
