Hello everyone
I finally completed my rig/rehearsal transportable pedalboard. Completely silent. I also use it at home because of the phones out of the Ultra.
I am so happy about it !
Peddalboard, patchbay and power supply by DESS.
Homemade cables (Evidence Audio monorail / Sommer Goblin cables, MDPC-X sleeves and heat shrink, Squareplugs /Neutrik)

Looks tidy, as I've come to expect from your posts!
Just curious, since you appear to be one of the few folks who put their envelope filter in front of their distortion; are you ever using both effects at the same time? And if so, how are you finding they play together? There are absolutely no rules when it comes to pedal ordering, but I'd say dirt-after-filter definitely goes against the more conventional wisdom out there.
Thanks !
I actually prefer envelope before dirt most of times. It sounds wild ! Like a crazier version of a funky bass line. When used the other way around, it sounds more gentle, more reasonable. The enveloppe filter sort of polish the harshness of the distortion and makes it softer.
But in this case, I don't use the Darkglass as a distortion but as a clean preamp and a last in the signal chain EQ. Useful to go sans amp and play with headphones although it doesn't really add enough color as a clean pre to my taste. It clearly is a utility tool here.
Last night… sounding killer through the house, as always.
I like how clean, neat and organized your pedalbord is. I'll take a look on Dess products too, seem impressive.
Needs tidying once I get some more cables but really happy with how this sounds. The GT1000core, EAE Dagger and 0xEAE Fuzz are all fairly new editions after some trading and swapping.
Here’s a little sample of how they sound:
There’s no cabsim other than the HPF on the Capo. Through my amp it cuts off a little extra harshness.

All of my stuff is throw in a bag and hope for the best type stuff, so it’s not quite as tidy as the rest. This particular board is…an actual board. It’s a scrap of decking. 3 pedals is the right number for me. Any more and I just turn them all on and get way too weird.
It definitely doesn’t hurt! One of the bands I’m in covers Them Changes by Thundercat and it does that thing pretty well with the synth+phaserI bet that's FUNKY set up!
Just got the Oracle V2 in today so here's the latest iteration of my compact pedalboard:

I haven’t had a chance to test out the V2 through the PA that I’ll be playing through most but I’m planning to do so tomorrow. (I previously owned a V1 and really liked everything except for the form factor so I sort of know what to expect).

This tiny board sounds huge.
Mr black ftw. Underrated and overlooked brand around here
Whoa, nice ! Dig my V1 and find it compact for a mains pre, but reckon the V2 form factor is quite impressive. Noticed the Crux as well, interesting one to handle strong current needs.
