What am I missing?

[Mk90]

I'm planning a new board as a smallish do-it-all setup. I'm building the board myself to get the dimensions right and the modularity I want. What I'm having is a two part board with the bare minimum I need that plugs over a slightly bigger board with more things when I feel the need for something extra.

The small board will be boss wl-50, into boss tu-3s, into schalltechnik mini-hp-vong. This little block is pretty much what is first in line no matter what I do and what is used alone in smaller gigs. This will plug straight into the big board.

The big board is built around schalltechnik omnilooper and that is the first in line from the first board. The low-pass loop has just a cheapo compressor to keep the bass side in the game when needed. The high-pass side has the flavour of the month overdrive (currently dod boneshaker) and tc brainwaves for pitch shifting and some chorus-like sounds.

The big board has room for one more pedal (or two mini). I'm missing something but can't quite put my finger on it. I know there are a lot of effect types absent but everyone has a different taste and I'm looking for inspiration here. Assume the pedalboard lives in a vacuum and the bass and amp don't matter.

What exactly does the schalltechnik mini-hp-vong do?

It's an adjustable always-on hpf.

edit.
Schalltechnik does diy kits aimed mostly for for bass. The omnilooper has high-passed, low-passed and full-range effect loops.

An always on hpf?
Do you know of a video demo of it?
I'd be interested in seeing ho it is actuzally used

My advice: buy a pt2 hard case AND a pt2 soft case. You have two boards. Take one per gig. Also use 2-3ch parallel mixers. Cioks dc10 power. Don't go cheap. Be smart.

No videos that I know of. But it's just a basic hpf with no switches to turn it off. It has adjustable cut-off frequency that I use to keep the B-string in check in different rooms. Here's a link where you can also find the omnilooper:

Cheap is not the goal here and I can afford to be as smart as I can possibly be. That's why I'm building it myself. I basically really have just one board but I use only a part of it sometimes. So I'm having one block that can plug straight to amp or straight to the next board that has a built in slot for the first block.

But the question I had originally was opinions on what to put on the blank spot on the board. Something's missing but I'm not sure what. I'm just asking what you guys would put there.

I don't know from ommelnooper or schnipplenick but I admire your word making-upping.
But this took under half hour to build, a day to paint, cost below $20 including the paint and hardware and screws. It's a 1X2 trim piece, a 1X3 trim piece, 2 cabinet handles. Best part, aside from the most practical feature, duh, is that if I want more pedals I can get more boards for about $7 and use the rest to make another one. Piece of cake. How wide? Cut 4 pieces that long. Then space it out evenly and brace it with the narrower board.

The bottle opener.

If you want to try something different, check out a flanger pedal. it'll give your bass a totally radical sound. especially with distortion.

Darn right you're missing a bottle opener! How else yo gonna get the beer out?
