PYPB XXXIII - Effects are STOOPID

No new pedals. I have, however, constructed a larger board upon which to carry everything:

And an arty shot:

I have room for perhaps one, one-and-a-half more. Any ideas?

Malekko Fuzz
Malekko AD
Malekko E.Filter
 
ahhh still using the red panda eh?

I find it merely OK, to be honest. I discovered the switches only toggle on the pedal release instead of pedal press. And I still swear it has a noticeable volume boost at most settings. But the track/envelope features are cool and unique.

The Boneyard - is there a Boneyard post yet?

I always have a boneyard. Heh.

Wow, old-school Simmons drums....

Just the kick drum. My Roland kick trigger is intermittent. Found the kick and 4 tom triggers super cheap on local Craigs. The Simmons kick looks sooooo badass it's not funny. It's huge and totally electro. Makes those tiny, dinky typical e-kicks look like children's toys.

@gastric is that a Bottle Rocket? How do you find it?

Has super monster gain available. Check out my general FX page on my website (signature below) for a EHX English Muff'n VS MESA Bottle Rocket shootout. I personally vastly enjoy the tube overdrive than any solid state box I've personally tried. You get the overdriven grit, plus all the smooth, saturated harmonics, plus touch sensitivity so you can roll your volume back for clean as opposed to just less grit volume you typically find with solid state boxes.

I have sound samples for pretty much all of the pedals on my board on my page, actually. Except the Panda Bitcrusher.

A re-do. I made up a couple different boards today and this one seems to fit everything best.

The hole in the top right will eventually be a Sansamp bddi or Rusty Box.

...And bought myself a Fender sublime (Special thanks go to Sillyfabe and Eyeballkid without whose persuasiveness this would not have been possible ;) ).

Oh man, this is it, this is my Fuzz... Its so smooth, I want to melt it down and lather myself with it... But I won't because three week's shipping is far too long to wait for another one.

Then when I think it can't possibly get any better, I feed the bad Monkey into it and it just. Gets. Angry!

On a side note, it looks like I'm gonna have to build myself a slightly larger tiered board.

Isn't that Sub-Lime just the bee's knees? I noticed a few posts back you were wondering about powering an entire pedalboard with a 1-spot....my entire board with exception of my El Capistan (it gets picky) and Morley SLVO (Slim-Line Volume) (gets picky as well) is ALL 1-SPOT!

Oh its brilliant! Bad Monkey into Sublime is THE fuzz that I had playing in my head. As soon as I submitted that post awhile ago about the ridiculous shipping charges for the Sub-lime, I found one on Ebay for $108, shipped to Australia. How could I say no?

P.S. Thanks, everyone. Good to know about the Onespot!
