Show me your compact pedalboard setup

Does anyone know if a boss TU3s will fit in one of the upper areas of a Boss BCB 30? I already have a BC2>OC3>LS1 and like the look of the TU3s if it doesn't displace another pedal.

Judging by the photo, it does not fit. but you can check it out yourself - take one of your pedals and put it on top.

Only a mini pedal on its side fits in the upper part. No way a full size Boss will.

the Boss TU-3S isn't a full size boss pedal.

@Tim Skinner, have you checked the following Youtube clip?



seems not gonna fit, because of how the side jacks are located, mainly the input jack.

I love it !

There is not much to say about this Workhorse.Rugged construction, blend knob, nice Eq and a lot (A LOT) of gain...it may sound a bit fizzy if u crank the gain over 7/10.i do like it even when it gets fizzy, its a part of its sound and character. You can always roll the knobs back and clean up everything,or EQ according to your taste.

check the settings i was using the day i shot the pic, gain and balance knob(blend).You need to keep them really really low for a smooth-slightly overdriven sound.Other thing i ve noticed is that ODB-3 loves passive basses.

ODB-3 has a very distinct sound that you can recognize within seconds. I paired it with MT-2 cause i wanted to be able to imitate the sound of highly distorted thrash-extreme metal guitars.The amount of Gain and EQing they can both offer is amazing !
but...

'With great EQ, comes great responsibility'

Yeah man, it's a great pedal for the specific sound it can get. It's definitely a little over the top for alot of people I'm sure. However the ODB-3 is a pedal I'm always going to keep on hand, just for when I want that sound.

Looks like same width, half the length.

yes, appeared to be the same width, half the length. Still, the person who asked the question (@Tim Skinner) would like to put it on the upper spaces of the BCB30, either top left or top right, which doesn't have any openings on either side of the walls. Thus, the input/output jack would be blocked.

and power input too..

yes, that one too.

Probably Tim was inspired by Boss larger pedal case, the BCB-60, which top space can be used to put in Boss horizontal/sideway tuner series, like on this picture:

Clearly Boss designed the BCB60 case and their horizontal/sideway TU series to complement each other. They put all ports of the horizontal/sideway TU series on the right side:

Boss ODB3 was on my board for a long time until it croaked, and I was happy enough with it !didn't really have time to shop anyway. Once it died I went through about 100 fuzz boxes to get where I am now and still the odb3 is a sound I'll dial up pretty regularly for distortion.

New arrival on my PB. Rock Stock's Bright Switch. I'm using it to feed my Line6 Relay G10 base by using the Cioks Ciokolate rather than having a dedicated PSU. I'm keeping it underneath the board 'cause I don't want to ever trample over the USB cable as I move from one pedal to another. Also, I've replaced the Line6's stock USB cable with an angled one: it's got a shorter plug which doesn't extend as much on the outside, and has a better "grip" on the inlet than the stock one.

This is a great idea, I have a Bright Switch but never thought of using it to power USB pedals.

Finally bit the bullet and went to analogue! The main rig is still a Helix, but the practice/shared backline/etc board is down to a pretty-fixed (as much as these things ever are!) BrightOnion router, a HB Tuner and a TC Mojomojo. The preamp slot at the end varies a lot, there's a Spectradrive on there at the moment.

I was going to say "where's the Spectradrive?"!

Today I updated my pedalboard - instead of the Hartke Bass Attack VXL Tone-Shaper PreAmp, I installed the MXR M80. I'll check it out for rehearsal tomorrow.
