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

We'll try this a while.
 
If you like the basic sound of the fuzz but want more low end and punch, I recommend you check out the Damnation Audio Loop Blender. It blends a low passed version of your clean signal with the pedal/s in the loop and IME makes every dirt or fuzz pedal sound bigger and better but also a lot clearer in the mix.

Its solid advice. I think I should experiment w this more. Maybe even blending? I usually just stack em but parallel might be the way to go. I have a few that I'd like to add some more balls to.

I picked up a Badger Schism 3 channel parallel loop switcher around the same time I got the Bloop. I haven't played around with the Schism yet but I already wish its clean channel had a LPF on it like the Bloop. I think that's the secret to mixing clean with dirt.

I've got a Klein bottle that I need to do something w. This seems like the right thing to explore
 
I'm putting my board back together and deciding if I should change up the order of things. Picture at the bottom, my previous chain was

tuner > comp > C4 > Aftershock > SubT > Meatbox > noise gate > HPF

I'm awaiting delivery of a Shift Line Olympic which I'm planning to put last in the chain, placed in the top left. I've never had the DD7 on my board but I'm thinking of putting it on for fun, maybe the end of the chain could be DD7 > HPF > SLO.

Anybody think I should consider a different signal path? I'm toying with the idea of moving the Aftershock to be after the octaves but I'm not sure.

Nice board! I've also got a Aftershock and C4, and just got a Neuro Hub and Morningstar controller that I haven't set up yet.

Neuro and the Morningstar playing together nicely for you?

Any tips or tricks for somebody getting ready to set them up?

I've setup Midi controllers before, but it's been a while!

This was my first excursion into the MIDI world and it's been smooth so far - don't really have any tips but if you're having trouble swoop on over to the Source Audio thread, they're super knowledgeable.

Thanks for the tips y'all - I'll try making a few changes before my gig tomorrow and will report back. Maybe my SLO will even arrive!
 
Finishing out the year this way.

I wish I could say I was 100% on this setup. For the most part I'm pretty happy with these pedal choices, but I have some logistical issues with this board.

Unfortunately that Warwick Rockboard interface seems to be total garbage. All I get is noise when I plug in and out of it. If I just plug straight into the pedals everything is super quiet.

.....Except for the Strymon Volante. I am trying to figure out a popping issue and it not working in some venues. Usually at my house it is fine, playing at church or another friend's house and the issue comes up. So frustrating!

I'm sure I will get around to posting the 2020 pedalboard update about this time next year. Cheers Everybody!
