New board (Artec pedalboard) with nice aluminium case.
(Deleted previous post and pic)
This is what it looks like at the end of a 2 week/4 pedal switch: BFD (purchase), GEB-7 (traded from a Zoom MS60B), BDDI (trade from a PBDDI) and Stereo Chorus (purchase) are all new additions. Might flip the GEB-7 for a smaller EQ, to try to uncramp the layout, if I can't find good quality flat cables.
EDIT: looking at this a week later, this is probably the best one suiting my needs I've had ever since starting this trek down FX Avenue .

Man, I loooooove that chorus and I've been kicking myself since I sold my first unit 2 years ago. Doesn't sound too 80-ish, at least to me with the settings I use. It's really good at thickening the sound and adding a bit of a sparkling quality in the higher frequencies (not unlike a sonic maximizer, dare I say), as well as giving out a very warm tone.
The 5-knob layout make it a very tweakable pedal, but its best feature is that filter switch. It reduces the effect on the lower frequencies, so the low-end is well preserved. To my ears, that switch works much better than any "mix" or "effect level" knobs I've seen on the other choruses I've had.
If you can live with the larger footprint and the 18v requirement, it's a chorus to seriously look into. MXR, analog and yellow, what's not to love !

Small board. Just for one gig, but nice nevertheless.

Putting together a new board for a band I recently joined. I don't have pictures, but it'll go something like this:
Turbo Tuner
Big John Lil' John Boost (in the mail)
Darkglass B7K
MXR M87 Compressor
I may add a micro-Thumpinator if I can score a used one. Bought too many pedals recently and can't justify buying one new right now... unless I sell some old ones.
It'll be going on a Pedaltrain for now, but I hope to build my own board soon.

All that needs to be done is get power cables for the EP-2 and replace the Sitori Sonics Bass Fuzz with a Copilot FX Orbit (once I get the funds!). The Sitori Sonics is a great pedal, but the Orbit is pure synthy bliss and has way more versatility.
Please post a review, after you've spent time with it...I've been wondering about that pedal.
When I started this whole pedalboard business, I had no idea how much I would constantly change my mind about what I wanted.
Here is version 4.0 or 5.0 in about one years time...can't really remember...
chain: tuner>octave>overdrive>filter>chourus>delay>looper>DI

Here's my update. Again. Had to revamp. Got the Vick audio Black Russian to swap out the EHX, got the Southampton boost and a blender for some dirt. Diggin it
Just changed up a couple things and got a new board to fit the extra and bigger toys. Current signal chain is Line 6 G50>Turbo Tuner>Mooer Pitch Box>EBS Octabass>Source Audio OFD>Electro Harmonix Superego in true bypass loop(yellow one)>Lovetone Meatball>Eventide H9 with external switch and ernie ball vpjr as expression pedal>Origin Cali76-TX-L all on a pedal train fly. Im probably going to switch the order of the meatball and superego soon, used to have them the other way and I think I like it better. Just replaced a markbass compressore and source audio eq with the cali76 too and works much better for this. Will definitely still be keeping the compressore for when I just need a great sound with a p bass into a DI, but with a whole pile of other effects in front the cali is there to stay.

That's just an awesome board... Wasn't there a 70CDR on previous iterations ? I'm also curious about the DOD OD preamp, how does it sound on bass ?
I know @gregmon79 loves his.
For me, it was just "meh".
I found it to be nothing special, and not as transparent as I had hoped.
But my keyboardist uses the ever living sh*t out of it.
Got this new case made today. It's pretty hefty, so I'll probably reserve it for full fledged gigs. For casual jamming, my little repurposed laptop bag will have to do for now, till I get a better solution.
