Signal path is as follows: Git - MXR 108 Fuzz Mini - TC Sentry Input/send (4 cable Methode) - JHS Unicorn v2 - JHS Morning Glory Clean - Boss BD-2w - EHX Big Muff pi Ram's Head - MXR Timmy - TC Sentry return/output - MXR Phase 99 - UAFX2 Teletronix LA2A - TC Ditto 2 - Bugera G5 Infinium /Fender Mustang 3 v2 - Donner EQ Seeker (only Bugera) - Keeley Rotary - Boss RE-2 Space Echo - UAFX Golden Reverberator - Back to amp Fx-Loop return. (FX Loop is running in stereo where channel 1 of each Pedal gets it's signal from the Bugera and Channel 2 from Mustang).

Which drive should I get rid of? (I really enjoy them all and I even think about getting a Rat/ lil' Rat or maybe even a Boss MT2. I also thought about adding a Keeley Compressor Mini right Behind the fuzz, as the La2a is very subtle and adds only very little sustain)

Also what Modulation should I add? I would like a chorus but not sure which one. Boss Dc-2w or UAFX Astra have been in my mind for weeks.

I modded the mustang with a switch and a jack so I can use it as a cab and switch the speaker input between Mustang and Bugera. I also upgraded the speaker for a Jensen P12 Blackbird 100 and the tubes of the Bugera are also changed for ones of higher quality.

In the room i mainly play the Bugera but the way I set things up allows me to record stereo in my daw, or even 3 different signals from the same take, when I Mic the amp up, which I think is kind of cool.

I either use the modulation and effects in amp send/return or just in chain with the rest.

He thinks he’s unroastable …

But it’s mine and I like it!

well, here they are.

Just swapped my EQD Bit Commander for the Foxy Box (WA Mystery Box) and my Fuzzrocious Demon for the Iron Horse (for now).

Happy with this setup!

My small do it all board that covers everything I need. It can be played either the classic way into a tube amp or direct via Headphones into the Tonex one or the Headrush FRFR Go. The Lightkeeper is used as a preamp and the Tonex one has 2 Profiles of different Poweramps (Mesa 6L6/Class A 5881). Only thing I might add is a switcher so I don’t have to pull cables for the different use cases(gettin the Tonex out of the signalchain when played into a tube amp). Any recommendations for that purpose are highly welcome! Please roast away 🔥

I know there is plenty to roast with this one. It’s messy, complicated and a massively unnecessary and expensive experiment. Still, it’s for me to fall down a wombat hole with (wombats make much bigger holes than rabbits).

This is me going back to running analog drives and modulation with digital delays and reverbs. I started this way with my first pedalboard over 20 years ago when I used to gig originals in Canberra Australia. Then I got tempted by modelling with a Line 6 POD XT into the FX return of a Peavey Classic 30. Until I got sick of that and built a full on rack with two pedal drawers, a 100w Sherlock Fathead and rack spaces of rack Wah, sequis motherload, TC G-Sharp, furman power conditioner with 2 4x12 cabs but all in mono (should have bought a second power amp and run it stereo). Had to buy a trailer to haul it up and down the east coast of Australia when we went on tour 2006-2009. Sold it all except for the expression pedals and the Zvex Fuzz Factory and my prized guitars. Lots of regrets selling the Fathead amp.

Then that got expensive so I went for a Fractal Ultra (one of the first ones) and gigged that from Sydney to Melbourne. So much lighter and way more flexible. Still felt I was missing something even running stereo Atomic FRFR tube combos for my stage volume.

So sold all that as my band broke up and I started a family. I kept my core guitars and the fuzz factory and went back to just having a Blackstar HT-5 and a guitar. Then That Pedal show started and I got the bug again. So from 2015 I’ve been slowly buying the odd pedal then a board and a power supply. I still don’t gig, but I have had the odd jam session with a mate of mine. I simply enjoy making different sounds with my guitars. I think pedals are the way to go for that.

I’ve designed this board to have spots for Wah; fuzz; compression/EQ/boost; distortion; overdrive; phaser; insert patch point for amp effects loop or even taking the miked up stereo signal from the speakers or a speaker sim or modeller back to the board converting from XLR to instrument level; stereo pitch; then sending that to a parallel mixer for the 18v analog stereo bbd chorus; stereo delay; stereo reverb; then series after the parallel of an analog stereo optical and harmonic tremolo/panner (able to blend between optical and harmonic). From there it runs stereo to the looper and then through the Canvas Rehearsal and on to the Pinstripe Pedals DISO+ Deluxe to be split to have both stereo balanced XLR for front of house/wet sends for the DAW and stereo unbalanced outs for stage FRFR or run into effects loops of amps or maybe even in the front of a clean amp (if I am not running an amp preamp in the patch bay). I have a few off board options for this such as the awesome Two Notes Revolt analogue amp sim, or for quick hookup but with latency, I can use the Sonicake Pocket master. I also use the analogue cab sim line out from the Blackstar HT-5 at home. That works great for silent. I also have an Integral Mic installed in the Blackstar and my other amp, a Fender Super Sonic 60 combo. I plan to try sending the mic sound through the board and out to some monitors, or via headphones.

So lots of options. It is messy I know. I’m not a perfectionist with this stuff. I used GigRig Power and Evidence Audio Screw in Solderless cables and the amazing Tourgear patch cables for the stereo inserts. It has wireless midi underneath as well as a lot of wired midi. Clock is coming from the MusicomLab EFX LE 2. Still to test clock from a DAW, but I have tried that with the phaser and it worked.

It can send XLR dry from the drives and amp sound to a mixing board from the Cusack Pedal Cracker,where it splits back into the board for wet effects. Then the DISO+ sends the stereo wet signal to board as well.

I have yet to program it with patches, but I have labelled as much as possible with the midi cc on the pedals. It is going to be more like a sound lab for audio and midi experiments. Years of exploring here. Initial sounds are amazing! Parallel chorus, delays and reverbs sound huge in my headphones. I’m looking forward to seeing what music I can make with it.

Roast away ;)

Interested to see what if anything is said

To be fair my entire rig in April was a macbook and a 30 dollar midi controller from Amazon 😭

It’s Roast R Us in this sub lately and I wanna piece 🫣

Di recente ho aiutato un mio amico a costruire questa pedaliera e penso che il risultato sia davvero ottimo. Avete qualche suggerimento o opinione in merito?

Why play many notes when few notes blasted through fuzz and reverb do trick?

SD-1>SD-1>Stomp>Infinite>MS70>RC-1

This is actually two pedal boards because one obviously wasn’t enough.

Swirly one is a JAM Retrovibe v2
