Which overdrive do you prefer? Darkglass or Russian Big Muff? Which Darkglass do you like most?
Since that post, I've switched out the Russian Muff for a Green Russian reissue. I find different uses for the different DG pedals - the VMT is no longer on the board, probably going on a second mini board. The B3K is my favorite and it's always on. I've since added a Duality and Alpha Omicron and both are fantastic pedals.
A custom tube head made by a company called Airtight Garage. I have a mix of cabs to work with - SWR 6x10, SWR Triad and an AG 2x12/1x10.
Way Huge Pork&Pickle (Pork loin side) -> Darkglass Alpha Omicron -> Line6 m5
The pork loin gives the exact "tube grind" ive had in my head for years. Check out The Haze by Pulled Apart by Horses. That sound.
The darkglass does darkglass stuff.
The m5 is my tuner, octaver, chorus, tremolo/vibrato, reverb & delay presets. A real space saver! Reccomended if you need specific trippy sounds for specific trippy songs.

I am, honestly, trying to get to a final iteration of my pedalboard. I've got a couple more things to add and a couple to replace, but I'm pleased with the board at this moment.
It's all powered by a Strymon Zuma. The X7 is awesome!
I know this is from a while ago, but if you're still rocking the Ola, would you share some insight with me? That's one of the pedals that's on my list. I've had a Mobius(a couple, actually, lol!). Loved it, but I was only using it for chorus. I don't want/need a $450 chorus pedal. The Ola seems like the perfect solution, but there aren't any bass demos. I'm guessing it's as good as the Mobius, but I'm curious...

Latest version...a few changes...since I tend to be in the minority and haven't liked a single Darkglass pedal I have ever tried...

I recently picked up a Decibel Eleven Switch Dr. as well. Just curious, but what pedals are you using in the four loops?
Both the MXR octave and the Sub n Up in one, Swollen Pickle Fuzz in two, Malekko Scrutator in 3, and the Xerograph, 105q, Digi BSW in 4.
I also have the H9 set up so those effects in the Switch Dr. can be setup pre or post the H9.
I’ve been thinking about redoing my whole setup though. I’m just not sure how I want to organize it. Really, I’m either going to get rid of the Switch Dr. altogether or buy a loop expander. I haven’t made up my mind yet.
