I should 3D print pedal retainers that'll click into a LEGO Brick pedalboard built by the kids.... That would be sweet!!

Dude, you're on to something!

Yes, yes he is.Dude, you're on to something!
I commandeered this from the kids for use removing pedals from dual lock. It's a Lego Brick separator tool & works amazingly well for popping pedals secured with dual lock.
You can get them on Amazon for a few bucks:

Choice reading material.
Welcome. Nice rig, I also like the HX One.First time posting my board on this thread!
yea it is such a great multi tool if you want your pedalboard to be somewhat simple! It also replaced my old tuner!Welcome. Nice rig, I also like the HX One.
That HX Octaver tracks really really well. Eager to hear how it goes. MikoFX has suggested the Octron3 pedal as a BMS alternative, I'm giving that a go.This is my latest church board and hopefully the last for a while!
Having struggled with the octave tracking on the EHX micro synth I thought I would give the Stomp a go and am really pleased with the results.
For the Micro synth tone I have used the Clawthorn Drive (Fuzz and octave on, overdrive off) with a low pass at 5.5khz on a path B and the bass Octaver on Path A.
It gets pretty close and has no tracking issues whatsoever!
I am playing at 2 different churches on Sunday and am super excited about how it will sound!

And how about the Tonehammer emulation? Still not there or you just prefer to have knobs handy?This is my latest church board and hopefully the last for a while!

The Aguilar sims are pretty bad without major settings and EQ changes but I do think the Teemah drive block is similar to AGS on the tone hammer.And how about the Tonehammer emulation? Still not there or you just prefer to have knobs handy?
I think the amp sims are ok, but actually really like the tonehammer sim with the drive/gain turned down. One of my favorite presets has clean TH on 1, gained up on 2 (no extra drive block), and a BMS thing on 3!The Aguilar sims are pretty bad without major settings and EQ changes but I do think the Teemah drive block is similar to AGS on the tone hammer.
I've debated replacing my Radial Pro DI with something like the Genzler Magellan Preamp/DI, just in case I want quick access to a few things. And the Genzler DI is always good.
I've had that thought as well, but with an Empress and the Genzler. Just not in a position to go with a tube DI/pre right now, and I'm honestly not convinced for live gigs that it's worth it.I've never tried one… But it looks like it could at least free up and EQ Block on the stomp. I've thought about doing that with a compressor (cali76) so my sound would essentially be a cali76 and noble with the stomp in the middle for all the effects/modulation.

Not sure the Empress and Magellan would both fit with my stomp and Shure wireless on the Nano+. Might only be room for the Genzler.
