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

I've since cleaned up some of the cable mess and replaced the cheap USB lamp with a better one. (First one lasted one day before going dark.)

Below is a picture of my current board. I'll be using it at an Industrial gig at the end of the month. Generally, I like to stay pretty minimalistic...

A few notes:

1.) Beneath the board is a Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2 Plus that provides power to the whole setup.
2.) Based on some advice from various sources, most notably interviews with Doug Pinnick, I placed the compressor after the fuzz. I've experienced that this helps keep the fuzz from overwhelming the mix when engaged.
3.) I'm a huge proponent of noise gates, but I'm starting to find that the Decimator is almost too powerful for my needs. (I do not get a lot of line noise from this setup). If anyone knows any other gates that might work well, I am open to suggestions!

Best,
~Nick "Klaus" G.

It's pretty hard to keep that Diabolik tamed. Every time I click mine on it just blasts through a mix. It's so loud and since there is no overall volume control it's pretty hard to keep it from ripping a hole through everything. I typically use mine for solo type riffs. Although I do have it on the whole time for one of our songs.

Mxr smart gate is usually pretty standard.
 
Ah coming from you that's a huge compliment! I've been through your whole breeders thread and I feel like I know your gear taste better than my own at this point :P

Ah man you should join us over there! You look like you can contribute quite a bit. It'd be awesome to see you over there more often. Sometimes I GAS and gush so much my own tastes change day to day haha. But I def have some staples.

Why are you ditching the Vox delay? I hear it's a great one, always wanted to try it.
