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

New interation of the board. Loving the Collaboration Devices compressor, kicked my hyper luminal right off the board. The germanium fuzz has some cool vibes but is mostly used to add a tiny bit of hair, almost clean. Might need to size up a bit to get the MBD2 on there again.View attachment 5073886
Woot! You have a 3-knob Xerograph, only the best filter EVER.

This triggers a (re)post of my board, which includes the only pedal that has not been flipped, replaced, traded or left to languish on the shelf (the 3-knob Xero).

You have excellent taste in modulation! What differences did you notice between the standard Explorer and the Deluxe?

Thank you good sir! I read about Spaceman Explorer a lot online and noticed a few users on The Gear Page forum compared it to the Deluxe version and said that Deluxe sounded better so I couldn't resist and got one.

I A/B'd them for like 2 hours, trying out different settings, seeing how they compare. I came to the same conclusion, the Deluxe to me sounds better, it has better clarity, fidelity and sounds like it envelops the tone better. I ran both at 18V.

The standard Explorer is still a great, very versatile phaser, but the Deluxe IMO is really, truly top of the line.

I was thinking of recording comparison clips and posting it in one of the phaser threads here.
 
Just curious: Why the arrow?

And what is the little light remote for?

My guess is LED strips under the board. The only reason I can think for all the yellow is a strong backlight.

Remote is for LEDs under the board. Sometimes I use them and sometimes I don't.

The arrow/yellow tape is just to draw a bit more light/my eyes easier. Brighter lights and back lighting aren't a huge issue. Super dark stages or overzealous use of a fog machine is where the tape really helps.
