Lets see those pedal boards you are using right now.

Here's my current setup:

Using the Super Overdrive to hit the TT Mayhem pedal (which is NOT starved plate btw) From there into the Randall G2 head with 2x12. An old Quadraverb is in the loop of the Randall. The right output goes back into the loop of the Randall head. The left goes into my Behrringer 2X12 combo. A stereo rig with 60 watts and 1x12 per side.

Man, that's a really nice setup.

Thanks! It works very well as a stage rig. I can have everything I need for the set programmed into a bank for effects. Got my vocal processor on the right hand side there. Wireless unit also integrated in. Reverb and Delay linked to the switcher via midi so those two can have specific patches activated with switcher selections. It's complicated to set up but extremely simple to operate during a performance. No more tap dancing on my board.
 
Now that my basement is done, I am putting a pedalboard down there to use with my amps down there. This approximates my old pedal board from the 80's minus an MXR Micro Flange, the MOOG will let me dial in those tones. I got the PedalTrain today, I need to drop by my rehearsal space to get some stuff to wire everything up. I am giddy to hear this with my old Quad Reverb.

I've had this configuration going for a while. I intended it as a "master board" that would work for recording and both bands I play with. I plug into the Wampler EQ as a first step - mostly as a boost for my basses since I took the preamps out - and then everything else is before the HX Effects. The HX unit has patches set up for 4 cable mode for my guitar rig (VHT Pittbull 100CL) and parallel processing to two separate outputs for my bass rig (Traynor YGL 3 Mark III).

It's neat not having to swap pedals around depending on who I'm jamming with, and it's great having most of the important stuff saved as presets so I don't have to worry about bumping as many knobs by accident when I'm recording. It's also a lot less noisy than my old bass board. But it's still not ideal. I'm thinking of replacing the Wampler with a Source Audio EQ2, so I can have separate presets for basses and guitars. I never wind up using that Maxon OD for anything except goofing around, which is a shame because it's great; really I could probably run my guitar rig with just the HX unit and a tuner, since I'm not using my "real" pedals there anyway. And although I hate admit it, this setup didn't have the bite or mojo that my old bass pedalboard setup did when I finally used it full volume at rehearsal a little while ago. Might be time to get more creative again.

Very nice! I am just using an HX Effects and expression pedal for my main board. But in your case, nothing really does what those HOGs do.

I love the HOG. Such a cool and flexible pedal. It really shines on bass. The foot controller is awesome, too, six patches right at my foot-tips. I think the HX Effects is great too, and extremely convenient. I have no complaints... I just hope I can squeeze some more definition and zinginess out of it for my bass setup.
 
I got everything wired up. It took a little bit to dial in the MOOG like the MXR Micro Flanger, but I got it pretty damn close. I could easily nail it with a bit more time and patience. From what I remember, I have not used this amp with this pedal configuration since probably '86 or so. I was able to pull up all of the tones from my old band's set, the good, the bad, and the ugly.
