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

Any chance you have recordings/videos of this beauty in action? I am really curious about how these would on an upright
Been thinking of selling the Squeezer, but it just does classic synth stuff so well. Haven't gotten fully into the ZOIA, so maybe there is a partial solution there. Even the Whammy into dirt and a filter isn't the OS. I have a second board that is mostly sitting around, waiting for when I stop obsessing over synthesizers and get back into pedals. Really want to trade up the MuRF for a MIDI version. Spare amp/PSU/cab next to desk/recording equipment. Have considered downsizing my rig... which has identical backups that just sit in boxes. Hard to sell an old Schroeder cab. QSC amp less so. Will see. Sounds great.

I still need to run the Omnicabsim through some 'in a mix' paces, but it dirties up in such a way that my board may bee seeing some changes.
Rearranged one of my big boards today and made a substitution for a boost pedal (needed a smaller one).
Why you might ask?
At last night's gig, I discovered that buying new boots and not trying them ahead of time on your pedal board could yield some very interesting maneuvers at the gig. Yes, yes I was tap-dancing like crazy as I chased tone and adjusted the volume pedal that I repeatedly bumped all night long. But everyone had a great time — it was all good!

Just bought EXB MOSS. This Triton is as upgraded as is humanly possible. I am a bad man.
It is indeed, especially in combination with the Messenger. Of course, a Studio One would replace both and I'd keep the Messenger strictly for practicing.
Updated my board last night for the first time in quite a while.

I'm pretty pleased with this setup, but I might upgrade to the Trio 28 so I can add a Bass Whammy (I'm sorry, but the Whammy-type effects on the HX are trash for bass).
I have a love-hate relationship with the Temple Audio system, but the process involved in layout and wiring routing does make me rethink impulse purchases. The way the Cioks PSU mounts to the underside (I'm using the screws that Cioks provides) means I have to be really strategic about placement, because you can't get in between the PSU and board to screw in plates. That said, I love the module system; having an IEC port with power switch, and dedicated in and out jacks built in is convenient.

I have an Idiotbox BB deluxe that just came in today. Have to wait until tomorrow to test drive it at bans practice.
