Best. Pedalboard. Ever.

Works great for me. When it's off, it's true bypass. When it's on, it adds a small amount of compression to the signal that seems to increase slightly with each additional step you drop. The tracking is accurate. I've used it down to 5 steps with good results. It also has a setting that adds a sub-octave to your dry signal. And you can configure the footswitch between toggle and momentary. And it's construction is solid.

Pretty much the only thing that's missing for me is that I'd like the ability to go up a step or two instead of just down.

This is the most important pedal on my tidyboard... keeps me from schlepping 2 more basses with me and switching them between songs. I take a second Drop as a backup to every gig.

I just use my HX Stomp for all if this stuff. I haven't tried the drop pedal, so I can't comment on how they compare. You do save a block, obviously, which may be a difference maker for you, but I was able to remove my octaver from my board. Maybe you can fill your need for pitching up and the need for a backup drop pedal with your Stomp. I like not having to change basses for different tunings!

Best. Pedalboard. Ever.

It is a fantastic design, and damn near bomb-proof. I just bought it and the shipper lost it for over a week. When it arrived, the box literally looked like the delivery truck had driven over it a couple of times, but the board and all the pedals inside it were completely unscathed! I read the specs before I bought it, but it seemed an awful lot smaller/lighter in my head than it is in reality! Bottom line, I can’t imagine a better board for a tour, but using it for local stuff is kinda like taking a Sherman tank to go down the street for milk at the mini-mart...

You’re right, but it’s minuscule compared to my other option at the moment, which is a Furman you could park a Mini Cooper on that weighs 18lbs with the lid without any pedals on it!

You should gig it just like that! Giant board with just the HOF.

I know, right!?! The board makes the HOF look like the Spinal Tap version of Stonehenge!

Here's my other tidyboard...

 

[Ethereal Thorn]

I've gone from a messy board to descent over the last few years. I still wouldn't mind cutting some more custom cable for iec and pedal power cables getting a few adapters out of the equation heres a pic of one of my earlier setups and ill follow with some evolution pics

 

[Ethereal Thorn]

Here's some pics of my current boards setup I need to get some underside shots later and do some additional cable clean up though

What is that behringer box in the upper left?^^

Anyone have tips for keeping things tidy on a board? I've been tried to use twist ties under mine but it still looks rough...

You mean above or below board?

Twist ties on top seem to be a little tricky unless you're using the flat cables (in which case they tend to stay low, near flat, and tidy all their own.)

Under the board is where the rats nest has the most ability to look like a spaghetti mess-tern, and potentially even snag on stuff.

3 white twist ties is enough to keep this 15 pedal board underbelly looking tight! (And I love @Wasnex idea of cutting drinking straws to cover any loose connectors gonna cap 2 tomorrow

Cool board, but what are you using the 10 XLR/TRS/Speakeron jacks on the back for?

I'll venture a guess that with the Baby Sumo power amp on the board, this *is* his amp, with a variety of preamps and some pedals. So the speakons are to send to his speaker(s).

Some tidying up later, this looks like a keeper to me.

(Well... It is full until I decided to rearrange everything to make some space for more crap)

Alright, somehow I managed to add one more. Got myself a new SpectraDrive today! Not the cleanest around, but I think it looks clean enough!

 

[Mr. voodoobass]

I keep rearrange and simplify my board. Moved one h9 to the synth board, simplified my setup on the stomp to gain switches on the mc6 for the 2nd h9. So for the mostly used presets and on/off, I don’t need to touch the h9 but the mc6. I can pretty much replicate the th(dirt) and oc-3 on the stomp, but they come in handy lots of times.
Tweaked the stomp presets also so I could remove my sd compressor.

I run all my cables tethered in a snake to our in ear monitor mixer rack. The patch panel makes it easier for quick setup and teardowns on stage as well as reducing ware and tear on the input/output jacks on my expensive pedals. The speakon jacks go to a poweramp on my board. I normally will just run direct in to pa with iems but for shows with poor pa support or no front of stage fill I have the option to use cabs as well. I also have cables feeding my instrument wireless and the outputs of the p16m mixer back to the iem wireless in the rack.

P16m personal mixer for in ear monitors

Not sure what's going in the top left spot. Room for future expansion is always good though.

Nice board! I like the no visible velcro look. Are you using dual lock?

Yep! Only way to go for me. Glad its available in stores for a reasonable price now. When I started using it 10 years ago you had to buy it from specialty places online for $1 an inch!
