    Is there anything lacking in the Canyon's sound? I heard good things about its DMM emulation, but I haven't played one. Looks like it can do a whole lot of cool stuff.

    Love the 2 channel setup, something like this into the power section of my Pittbull would be super fun to try.
    Thank you!

    The Canyon is actually pretty sweet. It really does a lot and sounds great doing it. The DMM emulation is one of the best things about it!

    If I could cite a weakness, it's simply the fact that there are so many features onboard, which is as much a benefit as it is a hinderance. I like to keep things very straightforward.

    Also, the Canyon doesn't have analog dry-through like many other digital delay pedals do, so there could be some signal degradation and added latency when stacked with other fully digital pedals. However, it is the only digital pedal in my chain and it's currently at the very end, so I'm not in a rush to replace it.

      But the pedals make a rockin' home setup.
      Thank you, Mincer!

      I've been super-impressed with how well this particular combination works. Honestly, I haven't been this satisfied with my tone outside of plug-ins since I sold my Katana Artist!

      I have no plans to gig in the near future, just collaborating with some friends on a couple projects and doing some recording, so this setup is perfect.

      As for the board, it's this kit from Amazon: LINK

      It's made of wood and comes in two halves, which can be mounted together via brackets to create the larger board I posted above (which is still fairly compact overall). It goes on sale for about $30 fairly often.

      I liked the first board so much that I bought a second kit to hold the pedalboard power amp (not shown) and mount my "fuzz" pedals to, which makes them easy to connect to my main board when needed and store away when not in use (I left those sections unconnected).

      The board is is tall enough that I was able to mount a Walrus Audio "Aetos" isolated power supply and a short outlet extension (via the 120V pass-through on the Aetos) to accommodate a single wall-wart for the AMT pedals underneath.

      I'm pretty proud about how clean it all turned out!

        Thanks for the link! I added it to my wishlist. Is the board by itself heavy? I've been contemplating a Pedaltrain or something like it, but man, they are kinda expensive for a few aluminum beams.

            Depending on the model and how many pedals you have on there they are not all that light. My Pedaltrain Pro is on its second carry bag because the weight of the board broke the zipper on the first bag.

              The Pro is pretty big...I was thinking of the Jr.

                The EHX Nano Metal (custom paint job) to go with my new solid state amp.

                You can throw a couple more overdrive on that board

                  Check Reverb and MF used. I got my Jr for half price and it looks brand new.

                    Good idea, I didn't think about checking MF Used.

                          I had that exact pedalboard for a little while.

                            The point of all this kludgy nonsense is to let me dial back the input volume for the Bogner pedal while having a separate clean channel at normal volume with its own independent effects. The Memory Toy is set to mimic a reverb. I can switch from a bone dry distorted sound to a clean tone with weird reverb-y tails with one stomp on the Switchblade, which is acting as a summer, and then some nice clean repeats are there for either channel with the DD3.

                            The Bogner pedal is an odd bird. Might be worth its own thread. One added benefit of this setup is that it lets me avoid the Bogner's faulty footswitches. It sounds great going into the right amp with the right input level, and it sounds like poo in the wrong signal chain. I've had it for a few weeks and I'm still on the fence.

                              You can also check Sweetwater. The have a great platform called GearExchange.
                              I am so close to retirement that I could play in a band full time. All I have to do is figure out what to use instead of money, improve my playing, learn some songs, and find some other musicians more talented than me who will do exactly as they're told. .

                                I'd love to try that Bogner Blue, but I'm just afraid I can nail 90% of it's tones with my Palladium. Not sure. Just guessing.
