Dude...these clips are all too short. You gotta fix that or it's just a tease and you don't want that reputation.
But come to think of it, Chuck Tease has a certain ring to it. More a syllable fit as much as anything. But feel free to use it if you ever have any side gigs as an exotic dancer. :whistle:

Putting in some time reconfiguring the pedalboard. Still waiting on a Boss DC-2W and Future Impact to finalize the set-up. Setting it up for stereo, so instead of using a blender I have a signal path for effects and clean that then goes to a Temple Audio Sum Mod, so if I end up using 1 amp everything is still summed together. On the Grecobacker the neck goes into the tuner, then the “Broughton” Freq Futz, then it will run into one channel of the Boss DC-2W, then one channel of the Donner White Tape, the out. The effects channel goes Suncoast HD-1, FX-10, Milkbox, then Future Impact, Phase 90, loop to switch the PIG and Parachute on or off together, then Tone Driver, Jet Convolution Flanger, Trem, Volume Pedal, White Tape Delay, Talisman reverb, Secret Pre-amp, then out. I’ll add the MXR M77 too, to A/B with the Tone Driver, though I think they’re different enough to both warrant a space. I can also use my T-birds with this setup, using a splitter cable. With this set-up, I can mute the clean lows of if I want to do stuff just effected by hitting the Tuner to mute. Still trying to figure out if I can fit my Foxy Tone Box (Foxx Tone Machine) or SuperFuzz in somehow, might need to build a bigger board. I remember when the only pedal I used was the wah…

You have plenty of room on that board with a little reorg. Doing a reorg let me fit a BBE Sonic Stomp (not a small pedal) onto mine. Buy cables with very flat 90 degree plugs, too., although you're a long way from *needing* those. I like the EBS Premium Gold.

Looks good! I recently did a little reconfiguring. My needs are a lot simpler. I keep it to a Voodoo Labs Dingbat Tiny. I briefly used a Pedal Train Nano+, but I missed this board, partly because of its angle. Happy to be back. Surprised I was able to fit all this on, thanks to top jacks.

I'm disappointed the whole industry hasn't gone to top jacks by now. I get it on the tiny pedals, but otherwise... and now I'm wondering if they might even fit cozily on the tiny ones.

I would think Pitchfork first, then Zoom. The thought process being you are over driving or chorusing the pitch shifted signal, instead of pitch shifting the overdriven or chorused signal.

Agreed. With separates, I'd put the tuner first, but I'd definitely shift pitch, then modulate that. You might play with it the other way round - I suspect you could get some funky sounds with pitch after chorus/OD - not what most would be looking for but possibly cool.

Four of them look like the island's about to be eaten by a kraken. Again. Mary Anne looks across the table like, "Really?" Captain Marshall and Ginger look happy enough. "If we're about to die, we might as well enjoy it!"

Ginger was hot, want her clothes. :woot:

125B is about the smallest enclosure you can comfortably fit top jacks into. I've seen them in 1590Bs, but it's really tight and most are probably just too crowded to fit them. Besides being smaller in length and width from a 125B, they're also lower. But side jacks in 125B or larger should be illegal.

I'm disappointed that in this day and age of AI and signal processing, we still use phono jacks ftom the late 19th century.......:facepalm:

Has anyone here had a dream where your T-bird is involved? I had one last night. I was moving or exiting a space and I couldn't find the gig-bag for it (my '64 II) so I had it slung across my shoulder/back like a soldier carrying a rifle. ??? It's interesting that out of all the many basses I own - my T-bird was the bass involved. It reminded me of nightmares I regularly had when I first owned my '63 II, later stollen. I would see it submerged in a frozen stream. Very surreal - I would feel distressed as I could clearly see it but couldn't get at it... and then I'd wake up and feel relieved.

Maybe my nightmare was triggered by this surreal image from the great 1955 film Night of the Hunter starring Robert Mitchum. If you've never seen it I highly recommend it. Robert Mitchum, who was also in the super-suspenseful film Cape Fear, is every bit as 'feared' a character in NotH.

And also this unsettling 1851 painting "Ophelia" by Sir John Everett Millais. Actually my dream was more like this image.
