Yes!! I was reading through this thread waiting for somone to mention xotic. Surely the best jazz on the planet today?... Gets my vote anyway!

Your going to be skinning it alive!!!

if you can stretch your budget just a little, you can find a set of Sennheiser HD280s. I canot recomend these highly enough. Ive had mine for nearly 10 years, and in that time, although they have been treated pretty badly, they still sound/look fantastic. They are easy to wear for long periods, as they kind of give your head a little hug

So the measurements are in.... Let's call it 30mm Although most of that is made up of the jack sockets, which surely won't be used?? And the pots, which could be mounted anywhere. Even the power connector won't be used as id expect it to be hard wired?? Removal of the aforementioned parts would make the board 16mm deep at the largest cap. But even those could be removed easily and "laid down" if it was to make the difference. Just my 2p tho. I'm sure the guys building it are way more competent than I at this sorta stuff. I can't wit to see how it goes!!

Yes parallel paths are possible on the HXFX You can mix them to mono, or send them to separate outs.

When there are soooo many awesome sub octave fuzzed out there... Yes I think your limiting yourself if there is only one sound in the mxr that you like. Having had experience with one myself... I would send it back and try the oktonojs. The redwitch zeus is also another excellent choice.

I'd say 81 x 59 Rounding up to next mm in both cases

No worries mate. I can't wait to see how your new build turns out 😋 I tried to get some shots of the underside so you can gauge the boards thickness. There's 3 caps on the underside whish when you remove/move the pots and Jacks would be the thickest part of the board. Whick isn't very thick! Best of luck!

If nobody beats me too it I can do this for you tomorrow. Good excuse to get the board out of the cupboard storage

I had a boss ve-2 for a whyle and was always happy with the performance. We ran the keyboards through it and it detects the chords so can generate accurate 3 part harmonies. Pretty cheap too

I can almost guarantee the noise was caused by high output bass. I had the same glitchy noises when I first got it. Did you try a lower signal going in? I find the BM sounds better in all cases with the output of my bass down considerably! And entirely eliminates the glitchy noises I was experiencing.

I'll be listing my Boss es8 for sale this week. I can do you a deal.. Pm me if your interested

Your wife persuaded you to buy a pedal?!?!? Hold on to that one mate!!! If my wife knew how much I spend on gear, she'd chop my hands off

Thats a really great board! I miss my future impact
