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

My little key synth board... put some old school big box favorites on it

Been years since my last post. Didn't buy any pedals during 2016-2019. Bought four and built one this year. Was regretting selling my POG so bought a POG+more that sent me down the gas road again. I've been experimenting a lot with octave+filter+fuzz lately so I also picked up a Digitech synth wah and built a Ge Fuzz Face. Which led me to regretting selling my XO BMS that can do all three effects so bought a vintage BMS.
Had to build another board to put them on and found a 12x24 in my shed that was painted by the previous home owner. Coated it in acrylic clear coat and put pedal feet on it to protect it from scraping on the ground. Kinda creepy and bizarre, a lot like the sounds I make :D

Group photo with 'black n blue' EBS board for active basses. And homemade dirt sampler platter: Woolly mammoth, Devi Ever combo Hyperion & Silver Crank, Ge Fuzz Face, Ge Tone Bender mk.II.

Fun little Dad Rock Funky Funky Jazz Jam board; EHX Synth9 - Mooer Sweeper - TC Sub N Up Mini - Hjart Muller Lo|Fat Bass OD with Klang - Fuzzrocious BDPG - DOD Envelope Filter 440 - Zoom B2.2u. Got a couple of socially distanced recreational jams coming up so I put together a little board from odds and ends rather than taking my F16 that is wired up for recording. All on one of my RoadRunner pedalboard bags powered by a 1Spot.

Finally got around to building a smaller board that I could just leave in practice places. Close enough to my studio and stage sound (think chorus with overdrive had a baby with a metal zone) with the same on/offs. Behringer ftw.

sick:bassist:ive never found a daisychain that is slim enough to go btwn behringers & allow use of those metal patch connectors. which one are you using?
 
How's that megalith? I have one coming and am super excited.

It's surprisingly versatile. It can be a bit overwhelming as it's a very up-front and loud pedal. But I've been able to get a lot of mileage out of it from classic muff-like tones to full bore Om lead sounds.

Did you get the newly advertised black enclosure with green text? Lol I've been debating with myself that I don't need a second one as that color combo is just so cool.

That's absolutely my next move - I need Cioks in my life. Just trying to come up with the best/most efficient setup for me.
I have a Cioks DC7 and 8 with 18 pedals, which is around the same amount you need to power. It is more than enough and extremely versatile.
