Switch caps
No new pedals or changes in the chain order.

These caps make switching a lot easier without unwillingly changing the settings knobs of the effect.

Chain changes and some new components.

Moved the Beat Buddy from the board but it is still part of the chain.
Moved around a few effects and added the EHX Silencer, the noisy effects are now in the effects loop of this Silencer.
Replaced the TCe Mimiq with a Mooer Ensemble Queen, in the end I did not like the Mimiq it only gave a sort of a pitch shifting chorusy sound and no real doubling, the Ensemble Queen is the third chorus on the board however this one is specifically designed for bass and does some nice things in the lows.
Also moved the Fazley tuner from the board for tuning I prefer clip-on tuners, I still use it as a power supply underneath the board (main reason I bought it), filled this spot on the board with the Line6 Relay G10 receiver.

How the hell do you remember where each pedal is??

[blablas]

I don't, I just keep my eyes open.

If not sure which one is which you do like me and just SWITCH THEM ALL ON

[blablas]

I don't really care which one is which.... as long as I know what they do to my sound everything is okay.

How small can they make a pedal? Those Mooer's and TC electronic's are already small but HoTone can do them with an even smaller footprint.

Filled the last empty spot on the board, HoTone Harmonist.

That HoTone is tiny!! Immagine how many effects you could fit on a board your size!!!

[blablas]

They don't make enough to completely fill it!!

[JAC]

What do you think a chain of 200 Harmonists would sound like

BTW, you haven't tried the Boss RC-3 looper by any chance have you?

I am trying to find out if L and R are completely independant, so I can run an instrument through each side.

[blablas]

Afraid I can't help you there.

Added a few pedals (Luxe, Green Russian and a RAT clone), removed one (Ditto), also did some changes to the order.


Made a secondary board and reinstated a few old pedals.

I just couldn't get to grips with the one switch control of the TC ditto. Do I need to stamp it once, twice, hold? This makes me think while recording... and there goes another attempt at making a decent loop down the drain.
That's why I bought a extra switching pedal for my Boss looper, blablas can cope better with more switches. Also placed my old Harley Benton compressor in front of the looper, this gives me the illusion of having just a little bit more control over the quality of the sound I want to loop.

The two boards in one picture.

I'm with you there with the one switch looper. I think you need to use it regularly (like everything) for it to become second nature.

Moved around a few pedals to get a visually more pleasing board.... Better for my OCPD , and it resides in my living room so it must look as nice as possible as well!

No change in the chain order.

It's like playing spot the difference
