Would you pick board A, or board B and why.

Hi, have to pick one of these boards that are similar - If you could only have one…would you go board A (GE7 EQ) or board B (Micro Amp) and why? Thanks guys!

Board B

It has more of what I like; Canyon is excellent, LOVE the Grail, I like a "just more loud" at the end/MXR Microamp. I'd go script Phase 45 setting in a heartbeat vs Block 90.

I'd personally make a Hybrid of both of them.

I like B, too, but that's a personal choice, although I'd swap out the Red Dirt for the Tube Screamer.

I like B better.

The mid control makes the Deluxe Big Muff way more usable than a regular one. The mini MXR phaser sounds exactly the same as the bigger version. I like the carbon copy quite a bit, but would be able to get by with the Canyon for delay. I like the polytune better than the boss tuner. I never liked the XP100 as much as the later whammy and there's already a wah on the board, so no need at all for the wah side of it. Haven't tried the red dirt overdrive, but Keely makes good stuff and it's a TS circuit so it's probably a pretty good replacement for the tubescreamer.

Am I really the only person who thinks A?

Carbon Copy is WAY better than the Canyon. And yes, I've owned both. Carbon Copy twice now.

Red Dirt is a great sounding pedal! The WH-4 is way better than the XP100. I agree with the Phase 95 over the block 90. I’m sure I could get rumbly russian muff tones out of either. I do like the CC over the canyon for pure tone, but the Canyon has tap, so that’s fun. I’d take the reverb over noise gate so my choice is Micro Amp Board
