My guitar playing buddy is in the process of switching over to a TB looper based pedalboard and wanted some mo' tonez for his hard-rocking licks. This is my attempt at providing maximum dirt options while keeping the footprint smaller than an NY big muff (the knobs are temporary, it will be outfitted with a less random selection soon)-

The flavours are La Vache, Egodriver and Slow Loris from 'bean, and the guitarpcb R2G2. The enclosure is a Hammond 1411PP I think, weird enclosures to work with- a pain to drill and tend to warp a little when you're working on them, but when they're put together all is well, especially as this won't ever be trodden on :)
It turned out to be a lot more work than I had anticipated cramming everything inside and trying to keep it neat. The input and out wires are a little longer than needed because we may still move the jacks around internally to suit the final pedalboard layout, but they're shielded so it's no bother.
I see a few posts asking about combing x pedal with y pedal and power supply issues. All this dirt is just hooked up to one standard power jack and there's no extraneous noise when powered from a T Rex fuel tank power supply. Take note- cramming a load dirt effects into a box and daisy chaining all the power internally is totally fine!!
All these circuits sound fantastic, endlessly stackable dirt covering pretty much all the bases except metal. Some real "blowing-up amp" sounds can be had out of this thing. Either that, or the amp we're testing it through is blowing up.... :D
Love the bright colours, great job getting all that in there... its a pretty tight fit :o
I like this :)
This is a great idea! 8)
I really like this.
Man, your painting is top notch. The layout is also compact and the wiring is solid. Great job.
Don't know what I can say, other than that this is awesome.
I think the artwork is totally rad.
Thanks guys, considering the quality of pedals put out on these boards on a daily basis, I aim to be "average by Madbean standards", which in all honesty I'm probably still a bit off :D
I should have mentioned this was inspired largely by the Cusack line of switchless pedals such as this joy to behold- http://cusackmusic.com/product/tad-jr/ !
What with all the looper based boards you see these days I don't know why the design isn't more popular, seems like a good idea to me
