PYPB 44: ...like Tetris with boxes, wires and cables
- Thread starter Jean Baudin

Heavily back into heavy dirt... could not live without the X7 on my board.
Reminds me a little of the Schmidt Array boards.
Gonna go with this for a bit.

The Radar and Mimiq are being borrowed from my guitar board until a new PSU comes in for that board, and I just bypass them when going into my amp. Surprisingly, the Y cable works for going straight into my headphones without a headphone amp. The Radar and Mimiq both have lots of clean headroom. The IRs that come stock in the Radar sound good enough to me, adding just enough heft to make playing through headphones sound good.
Jamming distorted AF riffs in stereo is pretty awesome.
I agree black sides would be much better.
The power supply is a cheapo from Amazon. It gives me 18V for the Pork Loin, 15V for the Glowplug, and plenty more 9V.

It is a great Muff variant, has tons of low end at many settings, the diode selection also lets you cop more distortion-like sounds, or tones akin to the Colorsound Bass Fuzz. I really bought it because I love narwhals and have a tattoo of one, and it's just icing on the cake that it sounds great.
You're not the only one. That dude is a wizard when it comes to how complex, clean, and well thought out his boards are. Here's an example for anyone else that's curious. He's done a few that are equal or better - super impressive.
He inspired me to give it a go on something wayyyy simple. But it turned out and was my go to for the better part of 2 years I think. Let's see the best homemade pedalboard! Post em'
I built my own board years back too and am still using it, but I may be ready to switch it up.
I still have a Memory Toy, but not the same one from this board. The rest are long gone.

I love muff variants. I think I'll have to try that one sometime.
Thanks for the link! I bought myself a similar one there

Right on! I look forward to your video! Maybe you could throw your Wizard Fuzz and Blue Beard in that comparison For reference?
Thanks, it's super dirtful. I'm trying to decide on a multi for my mod & time based effect needs. That will dictate what size board I move up to next.
@NerdyOcean speaking of hidden spaces. I have a mThumpinator,. USB hub and a @johnk_10 FET-F2B hidden under the shelf on my F16.
So much good stuff it's hanging over the edges. Source Audio and Zoom pedals are connected to a netbook for midi control also using the Zoom B3 as an interface for recording. All "effects" are in the bypass loop. Signal path is Xp, mThump, Loopbox, FET-F2B, Zoom B3.

I was the "to hell with effects, my fingers will produce any kind of tones I'd need" guy...until one year ago.
That's me now:
That's me now:
Threw together two quick and hasty demos, but it's better than nothing. I kick in both phasers with the settings I typically use on them. The Lillian is in 4-stage mode to start. When you hear a little more jet/flanger-ish throaty woosh happening, that's the 6-stage mode on the Lillian. For both I'm just doing some slow knob twiddling with the depth, feedback, etc. Each one is mostly clean bass going in, then you hear the MBD-2 kick in for some light OD, and then I switch to a SUF Civil Unrest for the fuzz sounds at the end.
