You're no longer "the unknown dude" to me then! LOL
Well building a little board for a pop punk tribute. Don't need much but a little grit.
Left space for the 2NR that should arrive Monday.
Only problem is the looper. I have it second to last, before the AG pre, and I don't think it can take how hot the signal is by that point, nasty digital snap crackle and pops. I need a looper in that spot, suggestions?

I thought it was small... you look like you left room for a Morely power wah...
Current state of my two boards. First up is my main bass board (Temple Solo 18).
I've kept trying to get the Model feT and the 76 Mk2 off the board but I am now resigned that they belong on it. Everything apart from the MBD and 76 Mk2 is pretty much always on with the Model feT set a little below the edge of break up (to be pushed by the MBD and 76 Mk2). I thought I'd sell the 76 Mk2 after I picked up a Witchfinder since they are both born of Univox Super Fuzz DNA, but they are really fairly different animals (Witchfinder is sludgier and the 76 Mk2 really is godzilla in pedal form). I am a sucker for Super Fuzz style fuzz.
I need to break out the soldering iron and make a couple of mogami-squareplug patch cables, and I think I will switch to dual lock, but this board really encapsulates what I want bass to sound like.
Next is current WIP project board (Temple Duo 24).
This main aim of this board is a "I'm the main character!" bass board and secondarily for my b-standard baritone tele (very secondarily, I don't pick up the baritone that often).
The RBMK on the low loop is a placeholder and will be moved to my "special guest" pedal pool (it's a wild one, and drops bass when it gets most wild). I did have a KMA Queegueg 2 there which, although it's -1 octave tracked well, I wanted "more". I have Aguilar Octamizer V2 on the way to perhaps earn that spot. I'm loving the Mira for this application, it has a nice character.
The Citadel and OX Stomp are the "amp" for the high loop and they are doing pretty damn well at that job. That said I do have a UAFX Lion on preorder which I fully expect will knock them off (but I will have a shoot out session before I decide for reals). That would make room for a UAFX Starlight I want on the board in front of the Golden.
The front row has my recently re-acquired Electrofoods friends (I had to sell a lot of equipment at one point because of "life" - I'm so happy to have these again), and a couple of classics from Magic. I have a pool of pedals to swap in like the WMD Geiger Counter etc, but I feel like these cover my dirt tastes fairly well.
I have an empty Duo 34, that this board might evolve to, but my home studio space is shared temporarily while we renovate the attic. I'd like to stick with the 24 at least until then. Jesus take the wheel!

Drawer pulls from the hardware store haha. I couldn't fit everything with the stock handles.
I don't often post in this thread, but with a major shuffle of stuff I thought I might change that.
Main analog board.
Effectrode LA-1A off, TLC back on, Fuzzistor added, searching for synthy sounds. This pains me, but I've had a couple of near misses with punters with the LA-1A, and I can't take the stress! the THDI/LA-1A combo is one I really love. LA-1A going to a clean tone/IEM board rather than my main gigging board that I take when I don't know what I'm in for. DC7 underneath, and running extender cables for the G50 to get the antennae out the way. Cave passive pedals passive variable hi pass filer underneath. Homemade board that fits a mono case. Sometimes running the BSW, but also the spark booster.
Mini board hasn't changed much, if any
Remnants of my old main board. Now set up to run with my Bergantino Super Pre, and G50. 2 vacant power outputs on Cioks 4 are to run power to the SP and G50
No one wants to buy my Linden in Australia, and I'm not giving it away. Clean tone/IEM board. Unused Rockboard with Linden, LA-1A, room to drop the G50 on, and Orchid Micro DI.

Just got the Curmudgeon and Loop pedals in. Since I only have an Iso 5, my Keely got bumped off the end of the board.
I wasn't sure if I was going to keep it this way. Are two dirts more useful than a comp? Meh. Im really getting into the looped Curmudgeon. The more I use it the more I like it so I think it stays.

There's no law in not having a comp. For me it usually tells of a player that has master control over his/ her dynamics and tone, and usually they play live a lot. I use it for maintaining tone since I haven't mastered my tone and dynamics. Looking to get where you are sir.

I haven't posted in this thread for eons. Here is my current set up as of last night. Removed a Boss tuner and a Little Big Muff. Put back on the Steve Harris Tech 21. I used that pedal as my always on preamp since it came out. It has a tuner onboard. Then I decided to try a Geddy Tech 21 pedal earlier this year and took the SH off. Last night a brain wave hit, and I decided to put both on the board. Planning to use the SH as always on, the Geddy as an enhancement pedal. I never used the LBM so it was an easy sacrifice. Still need to tidy it up a bit. That's why I didn't post in the Tidy Pedal Boards thread. haha
Currently connected to a Behringer Poly D. But both units you mentioned are on my should I, or shouldn't I, list. In fact, I was just watching Toro YouTube videos. lol
Such an inexpensive unit. Limited yes, but I am not a keyboard wizard at all. So basic is better.
Basic is fine because what it does it seems to do really well!
