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

The board is a temple audio duo 24 (24 x 12.5). Lined the rows with dual lock rather than use their pedal plates. After trying those out, I found them to be more trouble than they are worth.

Completely agree. I love Temple Audio, the concept they use is great and the accessories that you can customize your board with are just fantastic. OTOH, unless you plan to put together a pedalboard, and NEVER change any pedals, the plates just end up being a huge PITA. At one point, my guitar player and I were both using Temple boards, and neither of us were using the plates.

I still have my Temple board. It's sitting in it's case on a shelf in my studio, waiting for me to see if I can cannibalize any of the parts for something else. That soft case was an issue, too...

Nice board! I have the BassBlaster as well, and I think it's great, but I've been curious about the Black Vehicle too. How different are they? How would you compare them?

Thanks! If I were choosing one to keep, it would be the Black Vehicle. The BV is very touch sensitive and I use it as an always on tone sweetener and light drive that doesn't really break up until I dig in. To me it sounds fatter and clearer than the BB. I find the BB a bit dark and when I bring in more highs to try and balance it out it gets things get a bit too clanky. Haven't found my sweet spot with it yet, need to do some more experimenting. Overall I think they are pretty different, with the BV being much more flexible. Hope that is helpful.

I know it's been a minute since you posted this, but I just saw it, and it is AWESOME! I wish I knew how you pulled this off. Normally, I don't really dig pedals that are sideways, messes with my "OCD", but on your board, I don't even care! It just looks so amazing!

Well played, sir!

How DID you manage to get all black pedals?


Thank you! Reverb does "Black Friday" releases of blacked out pedals, so I sold a few things, and tracked down the ones that I wanted, including many from 2019!
 
The black coily is a nice touch, but ...

... bring the white coily out of retirement.

Also, what are people using the Eventide H9's for?
I mean the point is they do just about everything.

General consensus is that they are great for pitch, delay, and reverb, not as good for modulation, synth, and dirt. Although I think there are at least a few good sounds to be found in those latter categories.
