        OK - second wind. energy for one more...

        Next to some crappy little green pedal. Extreme FAIL. That TC needs a loving home.

        I also dig the black to red fade pedal. No idea what it is. I'll assume a boos/OD or something. That's what it is now.

        I will say I like the order of operations here: Tuner, Gain things, obvious ly a Phase First fan - ok, then noise killer. Swirly in the back line. Total approval.

        Now for the really questionable thing. And maybe it is just me....doesn't the Lynch pedal being there make it a pain to get to the other pedals? again - maybe its just me, but ima thinking there is a way better spot for that...

        And also, does the poster hit the pedals with his knee? Why is the board on a box. Just getting in some high stepping for aerobic workout while playing? Put the board on the floor, move the wah out of the way. More of an obstacle course obstruction that a board, really....

        Also, while I'm not a fan of zip ties...duct tape? Seriously? In the middle of a gig sure. But afterwards fix that!

            Rehearsal Board: 4 cable routed - Chorus / Flange / Phase / Spark out front. Flashback (echoplex toneprint) into HOF (church toneprint) through the loop.

              To begin with, I applaud the workman like selection of the classics:

              Crybaby wah - with no fancy pants knobs, or artist renditions or any of that cr4ap
              Tube Screamer and Rat - into what must be a Marshall per the footswitch. A True Tone craftsman can do wonders with just these.
              Looks like a Pitch Black tuner.

              Unfortunately, there are a few issues...

              Sound Tanks? Really? A person with any self respect would have removed those for the photo.
              You may think I'm going to bag on the Rogue delay - but I'm not. It is a decent Analog voiced digital box. But dang, dig in the couch and replace the knob!
              I have no idea what that little thing in the corner is but it is FAIL because I'm not turning my head to read it. If I can't identify the pedal, it sucks.

              Now we have a few other issues here.

              First, the pedals every which way and wires akimbo is just a sign of a troubled mind. You called this a "latest" version so I must assume some sort of attentional deficit. Seek help for that. Or don't. But order things up and tidy those wires!

              Also - I guess that slice of plywood is technically a "board" but you couldn't find a more appropriate spaced log on a discarded palette or something? I'll give it vintage style;e points for the aged patina though.

              Also, be careful not to scratch the plastic floor. Real plywood can splinter....
              Knob is back on the Roque now, I had taken it off to zip tie the pedal and forgot to put it back. lol
              Sound tanks are cheap and decent, especially for pedals I rarely use.
              Sideways pedal is a Outlaw Widow-Maker distortion. Decent little pedal, I don't like it much in front of the DSL, but it sounds good pushing the Orange Micro Dark.

              Wiring does look bad in the pic. It's slightly better in person, but everything is out of the way so I don't worry about it.
              As for the board, C'mon man, have some respect. That's OAK plywood lol

                    I love pedal carry cases, but I do not like ones that slather their logo all over them. I don't want people to know whats in the bag when traveling.

                      Those daisy chain power supplies are trash but the carry handle and case are nice. Mine doesn’t say **** on it.

                        For me, I had to reinforce my pedal gig bag because bumping around the soft case would change my knob settings en route. I'd prefer a suitcase now, but I don't want to rebuy something I have a solution for now.

                          If you insist.

                          Using some piece of crap wood on sale from Crate & Barrel is not a pedal board...WTF is that? Two hanging wine racks with the chain removed?

                          Next - those foreign plugs have to go. Why TF would anyone purposefully use those????? You just enjoy getting a converter for a wall plug at some point.


                          And then we are back to this issue: You have a Boss SWITCHER. That is your board. Done.

                          And what's wrong with the box in the middle? Smells bad, has herpes, will reach out bite the others? This could have gone better if you had covered up more of that rack but, apparently the radiation given off by that thing makes it impossible...

                            Dude - I have a Wah, an amp channel switch and a Multi-fx in the loop. No need for a board (as many of these have no need!) I need functionality and speed, not a pretty little pile of sound chicklets to dance on all night. Not only do I have to play the notes but performance style counts and we don't do any Eric Johnson tunes.

                            Also, I bought a decent amp, so there is that too.

                                They look sloppy as hell and cheap. Yeah yeah yeah they are convenient for the easy zip/plug/power factor. Whatever. Soft little padded case looks weak on stage. Not rock & roll at all. Have some pride man!

                                Not taking crap from a guy whose case looks like it has been sat on by a dozen 300lb groupies over the years.

                                And I don't have a problem with Brandons case because it is plastic - but because it is small. When he gets his big boy 10+ pedal board he can graduate to a non-playskool case. Toss your three pedals in a bag and put them on the floor. Don't make me go back and abuse him for using all guitar pedals on a bass....I let that go.
