PYPB XL: Midlife Crisis

#363
Both of the MXR's are recent additions. Swapped out a Micro Flanger for the M117R flanger. Still undecided which one will be a keeper. Was surprised the Gator power supply works with the M117. The octave pedal likely won't stay for long. Haven't found an analogue octaver that I like yet. Finding that I prefer digital octavers like the MicroPOG and the octave side of the MarkBass Super Synth. Wish MarkBass would release a stand-alone compact version of thier digital octave. I wrote them an email suggestion and never received a reply.

I agree. Such a rad board. I'm shooting for a modular approach myself. Well, not necessarily "modular," as I don't plan to use both boards together ever, but deciding that I didn't need one gigantic board that does everything all at once was a beautiful revelation. I hope it will allow me to pursue new pedals and sounds at home and in my more experimental project without having to try to "force" those sounds on my main group. :fingerscrossed:

urg. dunno. every time i've tried two smaller boards it didna work for me. but i only ever play in one band at a time, so i can see the different themes thing working though.

Yeah it's a relatively new venture for me as well. The best part for me is that since the board for home and the other band will have an M9, it can do basically everything the main board can do. That way I can write with effects at home and not have to take the main board home from practice each night (which I hate).

I've redone my boards a lot the last few years, going from big to small to big to smal to... But I'm going to try and stay with the PT Jr now. Might get a Nano for just the essentials, but for now this is it.

I also realized that dirt isn't what i use the most, so I sold my Rusty Box and got myself to new treats in the modulation section instead. All hail Strymon.

Underside, Pedal Power Digital fits perfectly for my needs.

Pedal order:

DOD fx10
Pitchblack
EBS Multicomp
EBS Octabass
EBS Multidrive
EBS Metaldrive
Strymon Ola
Strymon Flint

I was worried about using the EBS connectors at first but now I've had them for years and they work great.

I COULD fit another pedal on the bottom row if I got Lava cables maybe. The GL jacks stick out a bit far of the board when i try to fit another pedal...

Oh, and the Strymons sound amazing.
