PYPB XL: Midlife Crisis

Nice boards!
I haven't posted mine in a while... here's the current line-up.

25447405

VERY NICE!!
 
I hope this isn't the start of a slippery slope to much bigger things... but I've finally bitten the bullet and decided the PT mini is too small for my needs!!! I'm having a trial run on a PT-Jr sized board, and if I get on with it at practise, will probably get a PT-Jr and voodoo PP2+ setup... (powering this with a diago at the mo)

it's a pretty straightforward chain: phat phuk B to BB preamp to TFR to PN-2 into RE-20 then TU-2. The three boost/dirt pedals sit really well together, as the PPB can drive the BB nicely, and the BB into the TFR is massive

The space is for a chorus when I make my mind up (probably a TC corona)... Hopefully this setup should stay the same for a while, I've been using most of these pedals for quite some time, just had to keep swapping them off and back onto the mini as it was too small to fit everything!
 
Might I recommend the Iron Ether Polytope?

The Xotic X-Blender and Rusty Box are new additions to the family. Someone is about to get voted off the island. I am thinking the Elements is about to go, followed by the M-80 and the the VT Bass when the VT Bass DI comes out. Oh See Demon will push something off when it land too.

Newest iteration.
EBS volume/wah - cream pie - pork loin - Holy Fire - GGG big muff clone - Foxx tone machine clone - Malekko Echo 600 - Dimension reverb - ending with BEF pro.

Currently sitting on the side lines:
Submarine, MXR carbon copy delay, MXR black label chorus, SFT clone, and completely off the board now is my Maxon compressor (decided i didn't need it since i'm either running into a tube mesa 400+ or a REDDI) Neunaber wet stereo, and a fender sublime. I made the board to be able to fit both the volume wah/sublime side by side with the rest of the pedals on a 2 tier riser. I may add back an expression pedal for either the delay, reverb or BEF in that slot right now.

Nice but booted/sold pedals: analogman chorus, IE nimbus. I think my neunaber wet will be the next to head that way but haven't been able to pull the trigger yet.

Haven't posted one of these in a while, and just took a photo for another thread, so here goes:

Fulltone - Bass Drive
Boss - Metal Zone MT-2 (modded)
EHX - POG
Wren & Cuff - Pickle Pie B
Xotic - X-Blender
  • EHX - Microsynth
  • Maxon - AF-9
Pigtronix - EP-2 Envelope Phaser
T-Rex - Reptile Delay

In the back of the box you can see my Lehle - Little Dual Amp Switcher that I use when I'm running multiple amps.
 
3 Leaf Enabler added as preamp at end of the chain...

Now wondering if I might try the Wonderlove after all my dirt pedals...

Signal chain is currently;
Bass -> Polytune -> MXR BOD -> 3 Leaf Wonderlove -> W&C Phat Phuk -> Darkglass B7K ->W&C Tall Font -> W&C Pickle Pie B -> Strymon Timeline -> Empress Comp -> 3 Leaf Enabler

Wow, this is biiig. How accessable is that Sparkle Drive for instance?
But that's a nice collection you've got there. How do you power them?

If you will note the board is at an incline...and i'm 6' 3" tall lol

The board is only 20 inches deep/tall and 33 inches long/wide

I'm running two separate signal paths...into two different amps and cabs at the same time..

powered with 1 spots

Really digging this board... Just a thought but might be cool if everyone posted YouTube or soundcloud links with their photos so we can all get a sense of what they sound like. Maybe get some ideas on how to use gear with different settings.
 
Got my QF2 in. All Iron Ether board in full effect on this 4 day weekend( thank you nemo!!!)

That's awesome!

I love everything about this!
 
My board hasn't been tampered with in a year and some change... Like, once I finished it I was just like, "Yes, I have seen the face of god and it has precisely this number of knobs, switches, electronics displays, and power supplies. I am satisfied." I can think of stuff I'd want to do but it'd require a whole second board, haha. Plus, all the things I'm hype for haven't been officially... or even unofficially announced yet (Chunk Systems Agent 00Funk Mk. III, the Source Audio Bass Synth, and something that could complete replace my M9 and do everything it does but better).

Anyway, here are the same pics from ages ago :p:
