My bass pedalboard

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]
the board is a BugBoard from Hannah Guitars--apparently they stopped making them.
But it works well for me.
I may swap out the Mooer Octave pedal if I find a decent priced one I like--but I do like the options on the Moer for 2 octaves up and down in various combinations.
Well according to my photo hosting site they only remove pictures that haven't been viewed or tats out of thing for over 12 months--so here's one I shared less than two weeks ago--and it got likes--hmm.
I'll have to reload the picture (And it is my picture--so no copyright issues...)

I am ending 2022 with a chipboard-floor for my stomp-boxes. The new pedal in collection is a Boss OC-5 and it very suprised me in every way (but still I have OC-3 because of fuzz-synthy sounds). The chipboard (10 mm, yes... too thin for traveling) was for free and I painted it black after fitting velcro tapes. Its a not-mobile "pedalboard" used by amateur at home only. In my opinion: when I would be ready for pro-case this project could be a good base to make real pedalboard.

Is your control board powered by a battery?
Sorry for the late reply. Just saw it. Yes the control board is battery powered. I was using a Volto but have recently found that the Rockboard battery is a lot better and provides power a lot longer. Just did a 4 hour gig last night and the battery only dropped 1 bar. I did turn it off during breaks. The rockboard batteries a surprisingly inexpensive, atleast they were when I bought them a few years ago.
Thanks
Matt

No huge changes in the last six months in the grand scheme of things. MS3, Zoia, and SY200 are still the core. I went through more than one of the big box Darkglasses. They were adding a bit too much that I didnt need (eq, cab sim) and I was getting too much overdrive/distortion from them for taste. I also found, through lots of messing about, that I liked the layering of the Bk3 esque sound with the Moog drive more than I liked any dirt pedal alone.

Here, let me trigger some OCDs. This is what happens when you get new pedals, decide to rebuild the board, find you are short one cable, then procrastinate indefinitely because there are no gigs. Take note of the RFE that's powered with all that 18V juice but not wired to the chain :D Otherwise board fully utilized in my bedroom like this everyday.

The Ibanez L- and 10- series pedals in the bottom row are easy to swap to different models (I have Delay II and Bi-mode Chorus in the shelf and FLL Flanger/Swell Flanger on my list).
Nux Solid Studio acts as a cab sim DI and through its parallel out the signal goes to the LPF/HPF and to the amp.
Works well for guitar too and for home recording.
 
Here's my current pedal board. It only contains about half of my pedals, many of which I built myself. I'm using a Boss BCB-60 as the board / shell. I use a one spot PSU as the supplied Boss one isn't that powerful. I ripped out the metal channels and opened up the board fully so I could utilize the max space that this board can offer. But naturally I want more space. But this board is VERY portable and quite compact.
