Swapped out my Broughton Messenger for the Aguilar AG pre, added in the Saturnworks active summer, added back in the Broughton HPLPF, and moved the Infinity looper later in the chain.

PYPB 44: ...like Tetris with boxes, wires and cables
- Thread starter Jean Baudin
- Start date
Swapped a pedal, a You're Doom that had been in the loop of the Merbl for an Octabvre in front of it. I don't need either for my current gig, but honestly I'm liking the Fifth Gear feeding the Merbl works for all my envelope sounds, so the Doom was a distraction. I'm not really using octave in my gig, but I suppose there are a few spots in our set tomorrow that stepping on it would be appropriate.
Honestly, I'm finding that more and more, I'm just going Cali76CB > Oracle and am happy with it.

Just moved my looper to a more convenient location.
Finally pulled the trigger on the Jr. MAX to replace the Jr. I managed to get everything I wanted on except the Silver Deluxe, but I haven't even plugged it in yet. I never planned on having a Broughton board.
Once I get it wired up, it will hopefully make it to the tidy pedalboard thread. Lofty aspirations...

As of now, it is still on a carpet on the floor with wires everywhere. This pedalboard map is easier to read
I ll get my DESS HPB2 720 in 2 weeks ! Almost done with the noodles on the carpet hahah.
Other than that, I added a Vulcan XL, and added a mono mixer to have, if I want, an external source trigger my compressor (sidechain compression) especially the drummer's kick.
One other improvement would be to change the Slö for the Slöer. I like its light reverb tone. But maybe I ll never use it .... and it is not cheap !
Octabvre (tbd), Mono Mixer (fall) and Noble (spring 24) are still missing for the moment but they are either ordered or pending.

Thank you for suggesting side-chain compression in a pedalboard context. What is the kick in? Click? MIDI? Onset detector? I can think of a few ways to do this (and one easy one cuz ZOIA), but am curious what you're doing.View attachment 5135916 Update of my board.

I’ve had both (Cali and Omni) and the Cali76 was just that much better- easier to dial in, sweeter tone, and played better with other Origin products.
I keep a space on my board for my dirt of the moment pedal. I have a few different distortions I rotate through… it the ODB’s turn.
I fondly recall playing that exact bass stack for 100s of gigs and later it became a part of my stadium rig with a CS800 and PV 3620 cab.
I recently sold off my MKVI head and last 2x15 cab to a friend still gigging.
All my big iron is gone.
@vivaknoxvegas I also prefer the Omni to the Cali. The Cali was not as effective as a limiter (the extent of my compression), since you can't set separate attack and release times. Viva la minoría!
I just finished new version of my pedalboard:
