daaaaaamn... go big or go home, fred! saw your comment about top mounting power, and with that much real estate, it totally makes sense!

i'm actually considering setting up a small pedal board for quick and dirty, easy travelling. haven't decided what "essentials" i'd want to put on it.

As if, hahaha. I've fucked it here. Could have saved myself £40!

Slight tweaking of the boards. Heading for a jam with a drummer and a bassist tomorrow for some experimental stuff. This should do it.

Dropped the Dreambox and the OCD/DLS. The Matamp along with the two McPherson dirt pedals (first in chain) is all the dirt I think I'll need for this.

Mooer SkyVerb is there to join the two boards together until I make a longer patch cable or think of something else to place above the wah.

I put this together tonight. Won't have chance to play loud until Thursday, but having had a knock around through a practice amp for 20 minutes I'm feeling pretty thrilled about it!

I did try mounting the power supply on the bottom, because the board is designed with that in mind, but it wasn't working for me.

It doesn't look as bare as I feared it might, and to be honest I'm clumsy enough that having the pedals a couple of inches apart will definitely make my life easier. I kept hitting two pedals at once by mistake on my old board.

I'm not dead set on the layout, and I may end up reordering the signal chain (chorus after dirt, perhaps?), but right now it goes:

Boss DD3 > TC Electronic Sub 'n' Up (replacing my Mooer Pure Octave which shit the bed) > TC Electronic June 60 > TC Electronic Eyemaster > Electro-Harmonix Silencer > Tomsline Black Teeth > Behringer TU300

Also planning to add a second DD3, replace the Black Teeth with a proper RAT (haven't had any problems with it in almost 2 years but it feels flimsy so I don't trust it), and possibly add a Big Muff into the mix. The PWT80 is only designed to power 8 pedals, but I thiiink I could just daisy chain a couple of the less power hungry ones if I needed 9 (can anyone confirm/deny?). I'm also tempted to experiment with the Silencer's effects loop at some point.

Added some dirt back in by way of a Fuzz Factory. I love that pedal.

Think I'm settled on this. There's so many noises to be had out of this set up now.

I'm always taking photos of knob settings then forgetting I have them.

Also running out of room on the nano+. I do like having only one line of pedals though.

What do you think of the ODR-1, Thom? Funnily enough was looking at them earlier today.

I only got it this week so it’s early days but I like it a lot so far. It has got a ton of bass and sounds really fat with single coils. Pretty natural response and stacks well. The spectrum control is unusual but not in a bad way. Sounds mega through the bassman, not quite as good through the Marshall.

Had a change around to get the comp and eq and m9 on. Which means I had to lose much of the crazy pedals I enjoy...but can be a distraction if I am honest.

I love the look of this. I’d like to build a new board with a minimal(ish) setup now that I’m using real amps again. I always end up buying too many dirt pedals when I’m using a board.

Yeah man thats how real Gangstas run their M9.

I am using the m9 mainly for the shitty synth sounds that go into fuzz or dirt. I also have the option of running reverbs into dirt which something I favor.

admittedly the looper and some of the delays I would like at the end of the chain...but there are no ideals in this world.
