Thanks. Yes, I still like the Drop. Some have pointed out some latency. Setups (or ears) might influence that, as I notice very little if any. It does do a bit of the warble-thing, which also seems to bother some who've tried the pedal. To me, it is better (and smaller) than the Morpheus Droptune that I had; sounds exactly as it should in any sort of live mix; and, is much more than good enough (nothing it does or doesn't do annoys me) when playing at home. So, for anything short of recording, I really see no reason to haul around more than one bass or guitar.

That really makes my anal-retentive tendencies go into overdrive. Dman nice! And nearly all top-jack pedals..
Thanks. Once the riser arrives, I'll be able to shift things a bit so the tuner will be right-side-up, satisfying my anal-retentive/OCD needs.
That M5 looks beechN. Did you do that yourself or are they offered in white now?
What mods are you having done? I might follow suit with my M5...

Hmmm...only $20 for a scene select on the M5? The JHV3 ones are $40. Seems like a good deal. Too bad they don't offer the audio upgrades too...

I'm getting the upgraded switches, scene select, and white LEDs. The prices seem pretty reasonable to me for what you get. I did the painting myself prior to trying the switch mod myself. The youtube videos that explain how to do it only reference the M9/ 13 or Delay models. The M5 is different than all photos I've seen online. So we'll find out when I get it back.

Please post pics and a review when you get it back! I'm super curious about how the switches and scene select mods work.

Great to see more people picking up Custom District Boards! You'll love this with the riser.
Thanks, Jean. Definitely inspired by you and Ben to put together my very mini version. it's great dealing with Elon and Custom District, and the board is better than others for me. Looking forward to setting everything up with the riser when it arrives.
My floor is my pedal board. This is a work in progress for sure, I can get some interesting sounds though.
been a while since I posted. new comp added and rearranged the pedals. all the most used pedals are now at the bottom. Now I can also stomp the SubT, Xero and TAFM at the same time. 
chain is: turbo tuner->subt->TAFM->xero+hothand3->B3K->hikari->M5+mission expression (not shown)->jamman->enabler

Latest: enter the powerhouse Zoom MS100BT, housing the modulation section of the board, whereas the 60B handles the early chain FX (phaser, filter, fuzz). The 100BT is a bit expensive, but I also use i on acoustic guitar. Might get a Phase 90 to complete this line-up.

Adding some cables and power might improve sound quality by upto 100%!
What's the Keeley Neutrino like? Heard lots of good things about this filter.My floor is my pedal board. This is a work in progress for sure, I can get some interesting sounds though.
Do you use velcro or do you fasten the pedals with wood screws?

It's my first envelope filter, but it sounds awesome. I prefer the downsweep, the upsweep sounds like a duck quacking. I'm used to pretty intense effects, and this isn't THAT intense. Although, I can make the notes drip into my lap beautifully with it alone.

Mission Audio expression pedal hooked up to the h9
Just got the new cab a couple weeks ago and its been working amazingly, so the pedalboard has come together like this now.
I also have a Pedaltrain nano that has a boss syb-5 and a mark bass super synth on it that can go in front of this board. Ive been thinking about moving the superego over to that board to make room for something else on this board, perhaps a source audio manta or orbital mod? any suggestions?
