so far i'm not in love with it after 2 practices with the band. 1st practice i tried it with the fuzz (cool sounding fuzz by itself, very unmuff like) and mod effects together as one unit and the effects side sucks so much volume up the no matter how i tweaked the knobs it was useless.
2nd practice i did the same but with my odb-3 after it as a volume boost and it just sounded really bad.
the 3rd strike (or home run) is gonna be to forget about using the fuzz part all together. i now have the odb-3 before it for dirt and at home it sounds great. won't find out how it sounds with the band till next week.
the reverbs do sound great. the pitch shifter only really works all the way left (-4th), in the middle (a cool chorus like effect) and all the way to the right (+3rd). anything in between sounds bad. but those 3 settings sound good to me.
the tremolo sounds cool to me but i don't have much experience with them.

Why is the Xerograph so massive?

It is a custom xero; the other footswitch allows me to turn on/off envelope control of the filter

Signal chain is:
Bass> flip flop that lets me switch order of channels a & b
Channel A: woolly mammoth/ sft double pedal>wonderlove (inside loop of wonderlove is the 5 bypass looper: 1)oc2 2)2nd voice 3)Mastotron 4)prunes custard clone 5)xero) return wonderlove
>polytope>bugcrusher
Channel B: m9 (2 of the exp pedals for this)
>submarine> jac compressor

The little box under the xero let's me switch whats controlling the filter sweep, I can either use hot hand 3, or the broadcast lfo which can also be switched of for normal exp control. Basically allowing 4 options for controlling the filter at the stomp of a switch: envelope, hh3, lfo, expression

It looks like you need to re house that oc2!

Yeah, Tlaubs, not only is your board beautiful, I can imagine the sounds you'd be able to get out of this thing. Well done!!

BTW, what are the dimensions of your board? You've got lots of stuff on thar....
