My latest idea: I get a case for pedalboard, but now: theres' no any board under pedals - all guys are placed on thin and long piece of plastic at the moment. I can also put there ALL of my "guitar things".
This case were made by ABS especially for riffle, it's really light-weight, and quite huge [about] ~130x40x15 cm.
To compare I put there one of my 4/4 bass-cello.

Hehe. Nice collection boss pedals. Tight wiring.. Never seen such long pedalboard... :D

Just finished the underneath of my gig board.

Not breaking any new ground with the pedal choices but I do have the bass running into the always on Cali (18V) into mono input of HX, then capo (9V) and duality (9V) wired as patches on the HX stomp (1000mA)…The unbalanced output of the HX running into the Capo main input so the DI is accessible and at end of signal chain…balanced output of HX is into an always on HPF/LPF (24V) which would go to power amp/cab.

Never want to say something has been ‘finished’ but from a gigging perspective I’m not sure if I’ll need anything else on here.

So, I made a little mini board today. Just was thinking sometimes I just want to carry a tuner, preamp, and DI, plus my vocal crutch.
Being always cheap as I am, I figured the size I needed and went on a search. Got a cutting board for $2.77 at Walmarts, put some extra little pedal feet I wasn’t using on the bottom and done.

Hi,

I got an Empress bass compressor too. I was looking at your settings near mine with little differences. What kind of music do you play? and for the right switch (tone/colour), is it off?

Well, been playing a lot of fingerstyle funk lately on the electric (which the board was likely set up for in that photo). But, I have been messing with the settings on the compressor quite a bit too when practicing, but haven't quite settled into a do-it-all setting yet. I do like the mid bump colour on for my electrics (Stingray Special and '62 reissue MIJ JBass), but turn it off when running the upright through the board.

What style are you playing?

Wait, whaaaat? Bass cello? Is this a cello tuned in 4ths?

Awesome board! I am trying to create a very similar board. The only pedal I am missing (yet) is the Capo. And instead of the Darkglass, a Fuzzistor.

I play mostly classic rock but other stuff too. Pick or finger depends on the song. I play a Godin Shifter 4 and a Stingray short. Like i said, my settings on the empress are near but i got no picture for now.
 
Hello there,

Here is mine "new" pedalboard. It is pretty much a Boss LS-2 and a Animato Clone (works really well!). With the muff in loop it gets awesome tones. The only thing is missing is a High Pass Filter and it´s done...for awhile..

The HX Stomp has low and high pass filter capability in Global EQ. Or you can use an EQ block.
 
Nope, just using like bass guitar/double bass. Making it sounds more upright-bassy / especially by Octavers. I've used this therm, because one of the cellist in his bass is playing especially bass parts (Paavo Lotjonen), but father of bass-cello IMO is/were jazzist Ray Brown.
Ah, ok. Without getting into the weeds over semantics about this: just a regular ol' cello played like a bass. Got it.

It just made me laugh, because I used to fly a lot in the late 90s with a double bass. I'd place the flight case far back from the ticket counter and point to it and tell them I had to check my "bass cello". The oversize baggage fees were considerably less for a cello than a bass, so I'd usually get away with paying the lower fee. The good ol' "bass cello" trick.

Thanks man!

The Capo is a dream solution for me...I think it's the first time that GAS has actually solved a problem that I wasn't sure I had or not! Also, the wiring potential it gives you with the pre/post loops and two XLR outputs is awesome.

I'm still not 100% sure if that will be the Darkglass Fuzz that stays on the board, I have it running on a separate chain via HX to try and get a better clean/dirt blend and am not sure if it's got the right depth of tone for what I am imagining.
