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

Might as well...I don't think I've posted in this thread but recently updated and a photo last night...

Powered by a CS-12 underneath and you can see the HPF-3 underneath in the top right. The yellow cable usually goes to a Dunlop volume/expression pedal for the Xerograph. New button toppers are both to raise a few of the buttons, making the tighter ones easier to hit without triggering others, and also visibility on dark stages. A few of them get turned on/off together (the Divaricator and Slow Engine for example) so my aim has to be good on stage.
 
@Durden26 very nice board. Are you actually able to use all that dirt? Do you stack them, or stage them for different levels of gain/dirt?


Thank you! Yes, I actually use all my pedals. Dirt included. I've got them set for different levels of gain/texture. But then I have the AO and Thug set so that I can stack them on top of any of their brothers. The Doom is used to feed the filter for my synth tone.

You are controlling the future impact w the buttons on the re-enclosure?
 
A few small changes to the board first a new bypass switch for the Zoom from Tight Squeze Cables (no affiliation) making room for me to add the TCE Wiretap so I can save those fluid stanky grooves always dripping from my gnarly old grabbers and nasty boxes. I am waiting on a OTG cable so i can hopefully finally get to work on the SNU creating Tone Prints haunting my mind.

Lots of creation with this signal chain: Carvin LB50 Koa Bass - Boss LS2 > loop send > TCE SUB N Up Mini > EHX Mel9 - Source Audio After Shock (6 custom Neuro prints) > EHX Bass Balls 3 knob mod > Digitech BSW > Digitech Hardwire CM2 Tube Overdrive > Loop return > TCE WireTap > Ibanez CS9 Stereo Chorus >Zoom B2 - GK MB500 - 1x15 Walter Box 'Tall Boy' or DI

Mini Tap Tempo / bypass switch from Tight Squeeze Cables (Reverb) [no affiliation]. I like the tiny size and the fact that the cable was attached, you can specify the switch type, cable length and cable end.

Change of line-up; added a (new to me) fuzz (2nd time I've owned it) and the EQ to the 'big' board; small board is just about tone...

when you go out to play music, you bring both boards and string them together or one board is really just for home? I've been thinking about switching to smaller boards instead of 1 massive board and was curious how that's working out for those who do it that way.

And no stomping issues in a live environment?

Not really. It has enough space on my board and is in the row closest to me. That makes it easier to be precise rather than hanging my foot up in space with it on the back row and having to be precise and avoid the pedals in front.
