I'm wishing I had room for the earthquaker depths in this layout but not missing the mantic vitriol at all. PS..shoutout to DHS who deliver pedals from Japan to Oregon faster than I can get USPS from the east coast.

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

You can squeeze that in there, but you have to break all the OCD rules, rotating pedals and pushing the edges a bit off the board.
You're absolutely right, I have the power supply and cables to make it work too. In all honesty I should just replace the delay with the vibe but i just can't stand the thought of being stranded without the delay on board, plus it looks better. Thanks for hearing my cry for help.

Everytime I see the 1981 on a bass board, I think I should get out mine and give it another shot. Never really got the hype surrounding it and just couldn't make it work on bass all that great, it felt. But maybe I just did something wrong. How do you use it?
I just got it and haven't taken it to rehearsal yet so still testing the waters. So far I like it, gain anywhere from noon to dimed is nice and grindy. Cut knob is nice for removing top end fizz. I also like how it sounds with a gated fuzz (dirt transmitter) run into it with a little bit of low end boost from the thug after it. I'm not sure if it lives up to the hype (which is minimal here compared to guitar forums). Comparatively I think the mantic vitriol got a lot more hype from bassists but I like this pedal better, it seems like it will be more usable for most of what I do.
Since I'm not doing any shows or in person rehearsals with my band I decided to just combine my bass (just the RB) and guitar (everything else) setups onto one board. I'm getting some new cables and power supply tomorrow. That's when I'll actually organize the mess a bit more. (The noise gate is just to power a bunch of the other pedals)
So many cool boards! It took me about a year to piece mine together, my first one. Still experimenting with different signal path layouts, but I like this one at the moment.
Sweet to see a Goatkeeper! I've been eyeing one for a bit now and going back and forth between a couple other trem options - mainly the EQD Night Wire, granted its a different animal.
How are you using yours in your chain?
I've wanted one since the first demo I saw of it back in 08 when it was still the 4 stage one. I was ecstatic when I saw they made a new stripped down one.
I use mine in between the DD3 Delay and Carbon Copy delay and experiment using it alone or with a combo of the 2 delays at various settings. It always produces something musical and that's what I love about it. My favorite setting when using alone is both stages simultaneously - stage 1 set to ramp up wave form on lowest multiplier setting and stage 2 set to a higher multiplier and like a triangle wave. You get a nice swell while also getting the traditional trem sound while all being perfectly in sync.
Lately I've been experimenting composing DnB style stuff and settings like that sounds really cool. Especially with the sounds I'm getting out of the Enzo. I run the stereo out of the Enzo, 1 goes to interface and the other through the rest of the chain. Gets some nice big trippy sounds that way.
You won't be disappointed. I made a video clip where I looped the main riff to "How Soon is Now" by the Smiths and at first I used a setting similar to the record and then I just started tweaking knobs and mangling the crap out of it for 5 mins straight. It was a blast.
Very cool board... some Dubterrographs are appearing.
Thank you! I felt pretty lucky to find one, a pretty penny but worth every cent. Can't see ever letting go of it. I believe yours was the first I'd ever seen...
I agree, the Dub
I agree, the DubTerrograph is a remarkable piece of kit.
I've always been curious about the Alpha omega but I have the MBD. How would you say they are different?
i had the alpha omicron vs mbd1 - even at low gain settings the ao is a lot more "grainy" - I never could get it to a setting I liked. Mbd1 can get gain but even when it does it's a clear thick articulate grind..
IMHO etc -
Stupid question of the day: Looking at all those DubTerrographs around here, has anybody ever tried running a Dubterranea through an FMeron? I'm not even sure that makes any sense at all, but I'm curious what a DubteMeron would sound like. 
I think I'm done for a while. Eh, who am I kidding lol
Another candidate for the Tidy Board thread! 
Not slammin' you, Cataract, but rather a dig at the many non-tidy boards posted in the Tidy Board thread.
My boards would never qualify for the Tidy Board thread.
