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

pedalboard-091118.jpg

Been happy with this setup for months now. The Behringer pedals provide the dirt (two kinds of fuzz and an OD). Albeit a bit noisy by themselves, it's a no issue with NS-2 which envelopes all pedals except for the delay, looper and a tuner at the end of the chain. Naturally, the dirt also resides inside an LS-2 loop so I can blend any amount of clean signal into the mix.

@sillyfabe why not Super Star Destroyer (Executor) instead of mothership? C'mon man. Keep with the theme. :)

A logical and wise observation but the reason for the name is a nod to Bootsy as he was my primary reason for effecting my bass. Always heard it but this man took it to a whole new level!

If not it would have been Y-Wing bomber.

Ah Bootsy! Great inspiration for effecting the bass and bending the tones and funking the one!!

Funkazilla!

From last night's gig, taken right after soundcheck. Not the best shot of my board, but a cool photo for other reasons. Mine is front and center. The one on the right is the tenor sax's. Notice he and I have the same envelope filter. Up at the top you can see the trumpeter's board. Ironically, our guitarist is the only person (besides the drummer of course) who has so few pedals he doesn't use a board, but you can see a bit of his MXR fuzz on the right hand side of the screen, and the footswitch for his amp to the right of my board.
