OK FINALLY DONE!!! I replaced the George Ls with Lava Ultramafic cables. All I have to say is WOW!!!!! I know cables are passive and shouldn't effect your tone, but WOW!!!!

I think the purple really makes it POP!

Rearranged things a bit and swapped some things around. Using one of the vpjrs as an expression pedal to control the B3. Signal path is muff>octave>freeze>chorus>vpjr>B3>dl4. It's working well and gives me lots of options. Only thing I want now is to make a patch scroll foot switch for the B3.

Interested to know how you're powering your board wshines1892. I've got a B3 as well as a few single pedals I'd like to put on a board, just trying to sort out powering it up. Looks like you've got some wall-warts plugged into a power strip. Is that the best way you've found? Thanks.

Power wise I've just got a 1 spot and a separate power supple from line 6 for the dl4. The only reason I use it that way is because I didn't have a line 6 adapter for the 1 spot and also because I was 1 plug short and didn't feel like putting a second daisy chain on it just to accommodate 1 pedal especIally when I'd have to go out and get an additional adapter. I'd like to eventually get and actual power supply, but I believe that if it ain't broke don't fix it.

The power strip is actually zip tied/velcroed to the back of the board. I didn't like the single thin cord from the 1 spot and since I had an additional wall wart to plug in it made sense. So i just run an extension cable to the strip and it gives me an on off switch for when i need to power everything down without unplugging. Plus it never hurts to have a power strip on hand. My keyboard player actually plugs into it when we play on Sundays

Pedal train mini arrived, looks like I don't have room for any more pedals... which is probably a good thing, the BDPG is now running straight into the effects return of my PF500, sounds killer. :bassist:

I was thinking about adding a micro thumpinator though, tie it underneath between the tuner and BDPG, just wondering your guys opinions, worth it? noticeable difference in sound?

I've been gone a looooooooong time. Lost a few along the way, but I'm finally getting my madness board back together.
