No metal zone? You're going soft. Also I think aceman likes bare feet more than covered.
Let's REVIEW those pedal boards you are using right now.

Soft?
That's not a foot you know. I was kneeling when I took that photo. And that's not one of my knees either.

My god this is a cry for help.
But - to quote Cool Hand Luke "That's the way he want's it, well, he gets it"
That isn't a pedal board, it is just a board and looks like an old one at that. Put a crowbar in that pocket and at least go to Lowes/Home Depot and get a decent fresh piece of wood.
That said, not surprised because it's going into a $40 Joyo Dirt box. Does it sound good? It might. Who cares. If you can't afford a real pedal, I guess you don';t need a real pedal "board" either.
What are those sad black plastic end cables going into and out of this Uber-tone box? I've seen pics of better constructed lineups and gear in homeless encampments in San Fran.
Now, in the redundancy department: Has a decent old (or better) Keeley four knob compressor going into the Craptortion box. Yet - get this; The pedal in its low-budget glory actually has a compression switch!
Tidy up the loose copper on that custom cut patch cable.
And yeah - that IS an old man shoe in the pic, with a hint of man-foot skin showing. , so Foot in pic, man foot showing, and effeminate sexy cut out shoe style. So much fail it almost makes the Craptortion box look not half bad.
As always - two pedals does not a board make. You don't need a freaking board for this, let alone the single power patch. Don't plan on turning the Keeley on, or just didn't feel like bending over to plug it in.
If this is the best you can do, I'm thinking it's about time for assisted living for guitar players home.

Like I said, that's not a foot (so to speak, but close enough I suppose for you).
$40 Joyo? You're being generous, try half that. The Monster cable between the two probably cost me more 15 years ago.
And the Keeley doesn't need a power cord if it's got a battery in it, duh.
And as far as fresh wood goes, don't you know that a seasoned board is the only way to get the toanz?
And given how much crap you've always given me for using a Metalzone (especially using compression into it), why not go with a cheap craptortion that has the option of even more compression!
Face it Acebob, you're just jealous of both my minimalist approach AND my codpiece. lol

As mentioned, don't argue...
Like I said, that's not a foot (so to speak, but close enough I suppose for you).
- Yes it is, there are other pictures I have seen that can verify it.
$40 Joyo? You're being generous, try half that.
- Whatever. It's a design made by Joyo too. If Joyo is to High end, I have to ask - do you need some financial help? I can send you a fiver if you need it.
The Monster cable between the two probably cost me more 15 years ago.
- What it cost is even more of a reason to do a top notch cut job. Not everyone should be allowed to use Monster cable. Not to mention, wouldn't want to lose any signal before it hit that $20 Craptortion pedal.
And the Keeley doesn't need a power cord if it's got a battery in it, duh.
- Welcome to 2024 where we have invented far better ways of powering pedals. Of course, if you spent all your scratch on that Craptortion box
And as far as fresh wood goes, don't you know that a seasoned board is the only way to get the toanz?
- I have no interest in discussing your wood here. This is not a secks forum.
And given how much crap you've always given me for using a Metalzone (especially using compression into it), why not go with a cheap craptortion that has the option of even more compression!
- It isn't me giving you crap about the Metalzone. It's the entire Tone-world. And that dirt hole of a dirt box isn't helping improve the situation. Dual compression doesn't mean before and during the pedal.
Face it Acebob, you're just jealous of both my minimalist approach AND my codpiece. lolâ
- again, trying to get me to discuss your jock strap and the old fish stuffed into it. I'll tell you what smells like Cod - the toanze this "Two junky-@$$ pedals sitting on scrap" generates. That's what.
But - in the spirit of Uber-goodwill that I'm known for, I'm going to help you out.
#1 Lets get a real board. Keeping with your minimalist philosophy about everything, how about we start with a Pedaltrain Nano. Soft case, matching black zips & velcro. Ready to tour all the old folks homes!
#2 Next up, lets bring your Compressor up to date: Trade that old Keeley in for a sweet and sexy GC-2. Ultra transparent and powerful.
#3 Then, let's get you a REAL heavy metal/thrashable death pedal; The Humbolt Black Clouds with a preamp or mid boost mode for straight into the power section, and a built in noise gate, plus a boost switch and real 3 band EQ.
#4 We have two more spots and we are not going to waste them.
This is an oldie, much like yourself, but a goody: The Boss RV3 Delay/Reverb. It will provide Boss reverb, 2 Rooms, Hall, or Plate, for a little space if desired, as well as 32 to 2000ms of delay, for fattening, crunching up, or really making that creepy intro lead line pop. You can have Reverb or delay individually, or both together. For those times when you need that "little something extra"
For final ultra tonez we are going to add an EQ at the end for ultra tone shape options out a level boost for really punching someone in the throat with "that" riff or chug. The Source Audio EQ 2 - quiet, programable, able to stereo split, Midi controllable
#5 And, to really keep you head banging and not needing to keep changing batteries all damn day...A Onespot with a four barrel adapter to give you all the juice you need:
Tell me you couldn't rock the &^$%$^ out of that setup....

Leather upper, speed hooks, stitched lug sole - all good. Pointless extra buckle, studs, and metal plate? Nah. Pointless fashion crap, if your pants aren't covering it then it's just extra stuff to scrape and get caught in a tight situation. If you want a work boot, wear a work boot. If you want a flashy stage shoe I'm sure you could do better. This isn't sure which it wants to be and it winds up being neither. The boot equivalent of a mullet. And for heaven's sake tidy up that knot on top and tuck those bunny ears in, what are we doing here, asking for an accident? Pfft.

Just throwing a little touch of "I'm not part of the crowd, I'm not like everyone else." flair". I suspect the buckle is actually functional with a loose fit on the laces.
The important point is get some man shoes.

Oh, wow!
I just learned about DSM/Humboldt as a company and happen to have their brand new "Simplifier X" arriving tomorrow!.
Once I get the Simplifier X hooked up, I'll take a pic of my new home setup and let you tear it apart
Will have to check out this drive pedal, though...looks killer!
