Post your pedal board - Basschat style!!

recently moved from a pedaltrain JR up to the Novo 18, slightly raised the back feet so my two preamps could sit underneath the board, allowing me to cram a few more effects up top

i do have an additional gigrig timelord isolated adaptor on the way as i'd heard the whammy is noisy when sharing a power supply, but i don't seem to be having any noise issues with mine?

It's probably been asked before but... what is it all?
[/quote]

Gah, I was hoping no one would ask...

From L-R, Top to bottom (with vague description) -

Bare with lots of small knobs - Sequencer that puts out CV to drive the LFO on the Pitch Pirate/Phaser/A few others
Orange - Auto swell, a la Slow Gear
Purple/White Knobs - EQD Bit Commander Clone
Bare/Multi Coloured Knobs - Very quirky gated fuzz, based on the 4ms noise swash but with a few tweaks
Half Bare/Half terribly painted - Tweaked Mantic Vitriol/DOD Grunge clone
Blue/Black Knobs - EQD Sea Machine Chorus Clone
Bare/Blue,Red,White Knobs - Tweaked Mid Fi Pitch Pirate
Red/Painted by a shroomy donkey - Digital Delay with super deep modulation/gain section and momentary oscillation
Black/Old PA knobs - Rusty Box clone
Bare/Blinky - Rattle Crow clone
Blue/Black knobs - Tweaked Mastotron Clone
Pink/White Knobs - Heavily tweaked Rat
Big Purple -Uber phaser/Lovetone Doppelganger clone
Black/Perverb - DBA Reverberation Machine Clone
Black/Orange paint - Tweaked DOD FX25 Clone
Bare/2 knobs - Phat Phuk B Clone
Bare/Green Knobs - Tweaked Forest Green Compressor Clone

I think that's all of them...

I've been through quite a few tweaks since I've last posted here. Here's my 'essentials' board (+RC50 and GBC).

I'm currently thinking of replacing the TimeFactor with a CB Tonal Recall and either a meris Mercury 7, or a SA Ventris.

Edit: sorry about the head tilting, can't seam to rotate the photo on my phone.

Here's my latest iteration. Be really interested in any feedback folks.
Signal chain is:
Ls2
Oc2
Subterranea
Fimpact
Syb5
Pitchfork
Beef bag (meatbox)
Freq box
Orbit gated fuzz
Frantabit
Lpf
Mf trem
Xerograph
Volume pedal
Then back to the ls2
Finally nova repeater which lives off the board
The reflex controls the pitchfork, syb5, freq box, mf trem and Xerograph (via the broadcast)

Very interested on thoughts re the chain..

That looks like a very fun and synthy board to me! Where did you get that Beefbag from?

Recent addition of Cali76-TX (replacing Super Symmetry) forced a Power Supply rethink, as I refused to pay £59 to make the Gigrig Generator output 18v(!!)

So, grabbed one of the Memteq units off Amazon for £25 odd and I'm impressed. Noise free, no obvious disadvantage over the Gigrig on a little board like this, and it gives the transformer in the Cali the juice it needs. Satisfied :)

Just put together a very nice Metro 16 board :)

As I play upright and electric at every gig, I use a fabulous Providence Dual Bass Station as my go to eq/switching/volume balancing unit for some time, also running a tuner in the dedicated output. I've wanted to add some OD and chorus to the electric input and some compression to the DB for some time, so having shopped around I picked up a few second hand pedals and [i]voila[/i], a new board is born! That said, having done some more research, I've decided to replace the compressor with a 4114 HPF, which should deal with DB feedback better.

As the Dual Bass Station runs on 12V DC and all the other pedals are 9V DC, I decided to go with a single power supply to neaten everything up, and following advice from the BC massive I chose the Cioks Adam, which fits the bill perfectly. No hum at all, and I've drilled the PT and mounted it using the supplied bolts. I've used heavy duty velcro rather than the PT stuff to stick everything down, and cables are the rather excellent Evidence Audio Monorail: I've had George L's before but I have to say these are a step above.

Anyway, here are the pics!

Well that escalated quickly

With DSP now being (for me) at an acceptable level it has enabled me to get rid of pretty much all non-dirt pedals in favour of the new Zooom B3n. So the setup is now much compacter but still gives me pretty much what I need. My Future Impact is not in the picture, I use it standalone.

Upgraded my B7K to a B7K Ultra and changed the Turbo Turbo ST-200 to an ST-300 (with the 200 going on my guitar board).

It keeps on mutating, current version.

The Boss Loop Station is there temporarily, waiting for a Night Wire tremolo by EarthQuaker Devices to fill this place on the board.
The Loop Station will be used separate from the board once the Night Wire is in.

Pedalboard update: using GATOR GPT 16.5 x 12 with a recently acquired FAME DC8 to power it all up.

Fairly settled line up.. with 'always on' Or occasionally used pedals (i.e. tuner) on top.. and frequently used / swapping out ~ except for looper ~ on the bottom row.

Interconnects are all sorts ~ low profile 'pancake' + van damme + solderless diago.

That power supply looks interesting! And I'm in the market for a new one. How do you find it? I take it will fit under a Pedaltrain? :)
[/quote]

The FAME DC8 (also known as VITOOS DC8) is slightly smaller than a compact size pedal; Please check dimensions: - Width: 141mm; Depth: 71mm; and Height: 32mm.

Price is £53 [u]INCLUDING[/u] VAT - postage extra. I bought mine from DV247.com >> [url="http://www.dv247.com/guitars/fame-dc8-multi-power-supply-for-pedal-boards--234581"]http://www.dv247.com...-boards--234581[/url]

That should JUST about for under a PT Metro/Nano but I would try and raise the feet on the board by a couple of mm for clearance.

I just looked up the Cioks DC5 and that is 31mm, which is already ever so slightly too tall - on a perfectly flat hard floor with the PSU in the middle, my Metro 24 rocks slightly. This Fame unit is 1mm taker than that at 32mm.

It really is. Pricey but the combination of a Pedal power supply, DI and Tube Preamp is just a great package. Can't do without it now.

The Night Wire is in, also added a Electro Harmonics Canyon, as if I did not have enough delays already.

Gone is the Mooer envelope.

The Night Wire is brilliant, so much more than just a tremolo! The Canyon has some very useful functions the other two delays and reverb don't have.
