(Tuner lives on the side; too big for pedalboard)

What do you think? Two preamps for two different flavors ;)
I do something similar. I have two different preamps for two flavors. I have one that is my "base" tone and that is my Darkglass Vintage Deluxe. In front of that I have a Darkglass X7 that I have eq'd such that it would sound awful on its own but it accounts for the EQ of the Vintage and gives me a more modern high gain. Turned out better than I figured it would.

Just picked-up the Subspace from a TB'r - The newest OD for me. Love the way this sounds with this set-up. I run the Blueberry as a tone shaper with the Jazz Bass, and the Grizzly is used for tone with the P Bass. Not sure why - but those combo's work best.

I'm still waiting for JohnK to send the Bearclaw OD he's building - so who knows. The Bearclaw may kick off the Subspace - one of the two will be for sale here at some point.

The VTBDI has been modified with aux in and phones out (you can see the stacked knobs on the upper right, the jacks are on the lower left and currently have empty right-angle adapters in them), and pops off the board easily for practice on the go.
I wish @tech21nyc would start including those on all of their pedal preamps. So handy to have! :) nice board!
 
@bonin in the boneyard the graphic on that compressor is awesome!
I love that thing. I've used some fancy comps, but this one does all the work for me, with a sidechain EQ in the shape of a Fletcher Munson Curve.

The maker still makes them one at a time occasionally. If you get on his email list you should be able to snag one.

Nice Board! I'm always on the look out for small Overdrives. I'd not heard of Rodenberg before so I searched them up. I can't see the pedal on the top right of your board on their website in that format, but I can see a larger version. Is that a custom order?

They don't make it anymore. I bought it a year ago from a place called Effektboutique in Germany. Looks like they're all gone, but even the regular size one isn't huge.

Do you run the Oracle at max volume?
Not as a general rule. It's not lacking in gain at all. But the master gain is very clean, so I can keep that high and use less gain from the preamp in my interface. The gain is cranked because I was recording something a bit dirty. That's actually a pretty unusual and extreme EQ setup for me. Typically I'm all switches down, treble at noon, range and bass at about 1:00. That is such a heavenly place that it's hard to put into words.
