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

I dig it a lot. It's the most customizable thing I've ever seen. Sounds amazing too.

I'm so busy writing parts for this new record and haven't had the chance to really give the thing the attention it deserves. It's basically being used as an always-on light chorus. It's definitely overkill for that duty.
 
Confessions of a pedal addict: Trying to decide what to put on two Pedaltrain Nanos as my "big" setup, yet keeping one of them with the essentials as my "small" setup...and putting other good stuff on a Pedaltrain Mini to use at other times...

Hmm ... I should get one or two of those plastic storage boxes.

My work room looks pretty much like this picture today, I'm picking pedals for a PT mini for some upcoming gigs and I want one more pedal than what there is room for ... major decision anxiety. Maybe here's a chance/justification for buying something new that can pull double duty. :)

Man, how's the Cali 76 compared to the PWN? I've got a 3Leaf that will never leave, but I've always been interested in a direct A/B with someone who has both at the same time.... all of the controls are the same to boot ;)

I'm still messing around with the Cali76-TX to really comment but what I've noticed so far is that it's very transparent. The PWNZOR is excellent as well, to me it's more geared towards fattening up the sound kinda like the Diamond Comp. I'll gig the Cali again tonight and tomorrow.

I ran an Empress Comp for the last year or so and was very happy with it. It's a little better suited to what I use a comp for than, which is clinical compression. I suspect the Cali will do a nice job at it as well but it's size and 18V make gigging it more difficult than the other two. I may end up just using it for my "studio" and recording but we shall see after my gigs.
 
My board in it's current state. I've got plans for a bypass looper on the bottom row and more Source Audio goodies. Oh yes, it will be full.

I don't know why I keep focussing on the midi controller when I look at your board. I am perfectly happy with my Gecko but your disaster area looks so damn sweet. I feel like I could save enough space with it to put the hub back on top of my board.
