What’s the case / board . That looks brilliant 

Thank you

i built it, sourcing parts from Thomann and Aliexpress. 

The case Is made of cheap 12mm plywood from the diy store

a lot of sanding (sadly not enough), one coat of sealer and two coats of black paint. 
i glued some fabric on the inner sides.

Excellent work!

My working board for Bandeoke gigs. Never know what's coming, so I need simplicity and flexibility. The graphic is used as a boost (or a cut in this shot as I'm using it at home) The American sound always on to dirty up the basic sound. I never leave home without an octave, the synth and wah may be used if that kind of tune comes up. The boost kicks the American sound into a bit more dirt, the Splinter is for when I want to bring the ceiling down.

Thank you.

Yes absolutely. The docking/recharging part is a little big, but it is a tuner also so saves having a separate one on the board.

Walrus audio Lore and boss pw2 added to the board 

 

and I mean it’s kinda a pedal the pk5-a ?

This is the 'funky ball of teats' board with three envelope filters. The Bright Onion pedals are custom switchers, the orange one for selecting an input to the board and the yellow is an A/B/Y which has the Octamizer and Fwonkbeta connected. All patch leads are EBS flat and taken under the board to keep it clean although in fairness, underneath is a tad busy.

Love a Boosh reference.

Nice board too dude!

[Al Krow]

Upsized my little HB 50M board to a Warwick Rockboard 3.2, powered by an HB Iso Pro 12 which comfortably slots underneath:

 

 

Signal chains 

Main: Boss WL-20 (wireless) --> Thumpinator (hpf) --> Boss OC5 --> Boss SY200 (+exp. pedal)  --> Octava (drive/fuzz) --> HG 4K (drive) --> Zoom B1-4 (multifx) --> 3Leaf Proton Mk4 --> VTDI --> 1/4" out / DI out;

Side 1: Beat buddy --> aux in of Zoom B1-4 (=> drums unaffected by most of the fx including the B1-4's own fx);  

Side 2: VTDI parallel out (clean by-pass) --> Boss RC5.

New setup, the chain is..

 

Pitchblack > sonicake boom ave > lazy bear passive blender

 

Send FX loop > tone city Mickey > murder one kill switch > blender

 

I'm in a three piece band where I have to fill in for guitar aswell when guitarist is soloing

I love that board!

Far less exciting than the other boards on this thread, but it's taken a lot of swapping and changing (and pedals being moved on at a loss) to come to this set up, and I'm finally happy (for now!)

 

[Rob Bisby]

Got more flat cables and added DI box in for distorted channel 👍 much neater

Gig board...

I think its great minimalist no bulls**t setup. All basses covered: octave (mega jealous of the octabvre mini btw), filter (C4 is a filter?), fuzz, overdrive, comp, tuner. I wish I could be so discerning!

Thanks Lewis!  I've tried absolutely all sorts including going the helix route... but the cheaper analogue EHX stuff does it for me to be honest. The octabvre mini is a dream, I use it solo'd for a fair chunk of our set. Between that and the C4, I seldom use a dry bass sound.  My C4 covers filters, a more bass heavy sub octave than the octabvre, tremelo and saw wave stuff as well as some FM synth stuff... it's marvellous!  Our latest promo (hopefully below). Was done first half C4, second half octabvre.

This is awesome, I keep desperately wanting to be able to make my bass into a synth. Unfortunately I play in a rock band with rather limited scope for techno bass textures. Doesn't stop me trying though 😂😂

Thanks man! I can see why your rock band don't want you doing synth stuff, but you're totally missing out! I have more fun playing synth stuff then the normal bass stuff!

 

You'll always hear the arguement of "all you need is a bass, a cable and an amp"... But I couldn't do a lot of this stuff with that set up 🤣

I feel your pain. Me too. One day I'll sneak some bass synth in when no one is looking. 😀

Finally decided to take the plunge and get a Justin Chancellor Wah pedal and got to on the board today. Can’t wait to let this loose in a band practise.

 

Hopefully it’s worth the extra weight carrying it around
