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.

Me. Me. Me. Me.

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.

Yep, liking this very much. Gonnae dump ideas and tonez here.

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.

Changed it up to use with the Orange rather than Bassman

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.

M9 near the start of the chain???

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.

And THAT'S why you get an M13, for ze fx lewp
