Let's REVIEW those pedal boards you are using right now.

Now THIS is a pedalboard! See the difference there ND? I can nit pick (and I will) but seriously....can't hate on a damn thing here.

I'm actually gonna give style point for ALMOST brand purity! There is a certainly symmetry about that.
Great board, all in once case, handles everything you'd need! Well played, sir, well played!

Nits:
1. Obviously the Mooer Acoustic. But I get it. It fits, and when needed, there it is. I have one in my gig bag incase of an acoustic blowout myself...
2. TU & Looper outside. But...if the looper is a rare pedal, and you also have a Snark...alright. I can live with the tuner out. Although...a little one up there with the Acoustic pedal. Think about it.
3. Knobs for the OS2. Seriously man...get on eBay. Really. Do that.

But overall, great job. Dirt, Swirl, Atmosphere. No BS, no fluff, all in a nice aesthetic.

Nostalgic - notice how he isn't calling it A pedal board with outboard models? I respect your integrity there sir!

:-) you guys are killing me :-)
Regarding the outboard tuner: depending on the requirements of the particular gig, this one may or may not have its place on the board instead of something else.

The looper is used at home only for practicing and “lockdown loop sessions” for the lack of band mates these days.

Knobs of the OS-2: I got that one for €35,- that way 2nd hand. I’ll consider the eBay suggestion ;-)

Cheers,
Chris
 
At 35 whatever, you can drop 8 somethings on some knobs!
I suspected the looper to be "extra" curricular
And regarding the tuner...sure.

Like I said - great work!

What are the other bottom Boss pedals?

I didn’t want to cause unnecessary controversy by calling it the worst :)

Not a fan of the MT-2, PW-10 or XT-2 but it may well be a matter of genre/taste. I think the AC-2 is just a failed attempt from a more objective POV.

I’m a big fan of Boss and like some of the pedals that get bad rep, I think it’s more a matter of how you use them. Like the DS-1/2 (I own a DS-2) or the CS-3 (which I still own and use fairly often).
 
Alright, here’s my pedal board;

I have the same pedalboard - it's great.

But the best part is, no velcro needed. Pedals stay (relatively) pristine.
 
Why, you trying to embarrass me?
I've got two multi effects pedals and two channel switchers. Abother amp always runs clean.

Whenever I look at a board in this thread, I ask myself, "could I gig with this"? In this case, definitely so and very easily. Very nice board and a great selection of pedals.

You know - lose the OS and BD, get the Angry Driver, and toss the tuner in the case....
 
I could stack the Blues Driver to push the Overdrive and have all the brutz I would need. A bit of mod and some nice delay, I like it.

I agree with the AC-2, but I haven't tried enough of the other ones to make much of an opinion. I know the Fender Deluxe pedal they came out with in the early 2000s wasn't all that great compared to other digital models.

As always - the AC model in my Rolland Cube, with my LP (SuperD and PAF) set on both pickups, comes out OK. I don't think it is the AC2 though...maybe it is.

I also have an ac like thing also in my MS-3 and it's pretty good.

The Cosm pedals were not very loved in their day but now some folks are starting to like them. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 
If Fender came out with their Tone Master tech in a modern pedal, I'd get it. But the original COSM ones didn't work for me.
 
Boss's digital tech is pretty good but their OD/Distortion models, amp sims and most of their modulation models are hard for me to hear for very long. "Listening fatigue" is the term that comes to mind.

Their reverbs and delays though, I think are still some of the best in the business. I really like a lot of their older, analog designs too.
 
I don't have a ton of BOSS stuff but what I have I like. I have a DD7, MD-2 for my hardcore stuff, and a Japan issued Black Label BF-2.
 
I know there is a ton of love for the BF-2, but the BF-3 the cat's meow. Everything you need in a Flanger
 
OK. Here’s mine after a couple of recent updates. The overdrives are mostly here for EQ and boost purposes. The chorus, tremolo and echo are intended to run through my amp’s effects loop but can quickly re-routed to run in series with the other pedals on the front row. The EB is both my tuner and volume pedal.
