Lets see those pedal boards you are using right now.

Put this together to use with the Journey Tribute band. A buddy of mine gave me the Pedaltrain. The Pedal Snake is great. One cable from the board to the back. The Phase 90 is first in line because it doesn't run on plug-in power, battery only. Don't have to worry about forgetting to unplug the input so the battery doesn't drain.

I think this is where I settled

A feller showed up for his hitch today. A day late and apparently a dollar short because he sold me his looper, amp switcher and equalizer.
I didn't really want the equalizer but it had to be part of the deal.
This is what will keep me busy for many a moon to come.

Let us know how that radial aby sounds, or rather, doesn't.

PS412 reporting from the front:
Cutting straight to it. It's a good pedal.
Played with it today through active and passive pups and three amps. Marshall, Mesa and Amp 1 Iridium. 20' of cable guitar to box and 20' box to guitar.
There was a very tiny bit of extra hum and I mean tiny. Easy to live with as I am a "gainer". There is also a slight click when switching A to B or both. Once again not at all bothersome to me.
The noise was more pronounced through the Marshall not as much through the Mesa and Amp 1. Also more through the passive pups. Once again nothing bothersome.
I have heard, on the I know it all network ( internet ), that the tone is altered. Maybe on long cable runs but for what I used it didn't.
For my wants and needs...perfect.
 
nice! i have their active aby rather than the passive you have, but i have a bigshot dual fx loop pedal that i think is great. with the hum... does it get better with the iso tranny switched in or not much difference?

Yes. I had the iso switch on and it was quieter. Even with it off it wasn't bad.
The guy I bought it from said it was good but he bought the Radial Twin City switcher and said it was silent.
I would speculate because one of my cables is an el cheapo, it may have gotten even quieter if I replaced it.
 
the twin city is what i have and its great. the switchbone is extra sweet but more than i really need
 
This is my latest board reimagining. The tiny Donner Alpha Cruncher makes up for the freakishly large Danelectro Spring King. The JDX Direct Drive replaces the use of an amp.

I don't have a picture but I'll give a rundown of what's currently on my board.
Peterson Stomp Classic tuner > MXR Script Phase 90 > Timmy > Cusack Screamer V2 > Ethos Overdrive > Tim Jauernig Electronics Bombastortion > Clean channel of amp.
MXR Analog Chorus > Strymon El Capistan > Neunaber Immerse > Into the effects loop.
As soon as Barber starts producing the Gain Changer again it's going to replace the Timmy and the Cusack Screamer.

The latest version of my big board, with the Boss Waza Craft Dimension C replacing the TC Electronic Tri Chorus. I’m looking to change the phaser at some point too. I’m also contemplating a small footprint delay/reverb to go in the loop of the SY1 as there’s no sustaining sounds in the pedal and it can sound a bit abrupt. On the right hand side is my vocal harmony pedal. I run the supply from my board to power it.

I had a Big Shot A/B/Y briefly, but it loaded down my signal noticeably and left everything sounding dull when it was in the signal path. I ended up sending it back and exchanging for a JX-2 Switchbone.
 
any passive aby switch will load things when both amps are on. i have a few different ones and they all do it. find for ab, its the y that is the tone suck. i have the radial twin cities aby and its great. the switchbone is great with even more features
 
I am putting together a new one this week...will post some pics when it is finished.

I was running into tone suck with either amp; one was clean and the other dirty so I never ran both at the same time. I only ever tried the one Big Shot A/B/Y, so maybe there was something wrong with it.
