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

This board is sounding good!

Now I just need to find a board that can fit everything + a volume pedal and an A/B box (DC7 will go underneath). [This board is my experimentation board (PetalTrain Novo 24)]
 
The Ernie Balls have been working great on my pedalboard. I have a mix of EB's and EBS's.

Placed on order on Amazon. I've had EBs before, not that format, and they worked well on bass.
Not familiar with the Rockboard products, but I'm sure they work fine and maybe I'll use them in the future, I took note of them, my thx to @Pedalnetics.

Thx guys and Happy New Year.
 
Put this together this week, works great so far. I needed something compact and lightweight for commuting!

I put a DC7 under it but I'm going to grab a SOL for it. The HF-2 was going to be a place holder for a phaser but it's going to stay for the foreseeable future.

Happy New Year!

Things have escalated somewhat.
The blank pedals are (Right to Left) a DIY EQD Bit Commander ( got sent the wrong enclosure which still annoys me) Penumbra Fuzz (woolly mammoth with impedance switch and tone options), ROG Ginger, and a Barbershop OD.
Looper at the top to make it handy to drop other pedals in the spots to the right.

The Enzo was the biggest splurge and probably the only one I'd flip easy enough. I mostly just use the filter and pitch control in it.

Those M5s are great for home use. It has saved me from buying a lot of pedals on a whim. I got it 2nd hand for a song.

Sold the Meris
Too much bending over and I was only really using the dry sounds. The Synth sounds weren't great IMO. I get a far nicer mono synth tone from the (diy) Bit Commander and the arpeggiator and poly modes weren't something you'd use more than once. I did love the filter so bought two.

Loop 1
DIY Bit Commander, OC-5, Fteletronicca envelope filter (Mutronish clone I think?) Chinese EP Booster knock off Dreadbox Kinematic (love this pedal as a filter and a comp. LPF too) and the Nobels.
Loop 2
Off board effects. Line 6 M5, Memory Boy and others that I can pop in and out.
Loop 3
Penumbra Fuzz (Wooly Mammoth with mods that I never use), Darkglass Vintage DIY, Bad Stone, Sea Machine, Gingerman ( Ampeg Portaflex in a box DIY), Fairfield Audio Barbershop DIY. (Always on for a bit of seasoning pretty much.

im going to add switches to reverse the order of the looper when I'm arsed. I use it as a patch bay now so the pedals are laid out that way. The Mammoth sounds great before and after the octave for different reasons etc. I don't gig this board so it's laid out for tracking and trying new things.

I make blippety bloopey electronic music predominately and use it for other instruments and re-amping also.

Amazing board! Those power supplies don't move when placed like that?

No. I use the industrial strength velcro...not dual lock, but the stuff that can hold 10 lbs.


Sir, do you have a permit to put all that together like that? License & registration please.

:D:roflmao:

Looks awesome!

Enjoy!

haha...do NOT...but I should get some sort of certification for the amount of learning and experimenting that went into this. Still need to get the final cables ordered and hook up verify the MIDI out to external device capabilities as that will be clutch for my home jamming setup (and possibly for linking with another musician in my experimental electronic jam project that will be restarting this year!!!!).
 
Just be careful, when the PSUs get warm. I had one of mine drop of the board because the adhesive got too hot and wouldn't stick to the PSU anymore.

LOL. I almost had a heart attack when that happened to me! Fortunately, I noticed what was going on before the board was too far off the ground!
