generally - How bad is the amazon patch cables, they have some with little pancake jacks https://www.amazon.co.uk/Amazonbasics-Inch-Guitar-Patch-Cable/dp/B081T39QJS/ref=sr_1_4?c=ts&keywords=Patch+Cables&qid=1665761429&qu=eyJxc2MiOiI1LjQ3IiwicXNhIjoiNS4yNCIsInFzcCI6IjUuMTAifQ%3D%3D&s=musical-instruments&sr=1-4&ts_id=407730031 

They do the job, but don't seem as durable as the ernie ball patch cables I've got.

 

I've used stagg and donner patch leads as well, same goes for them.

 

Those pancake style ones aren't my preference - even though they're flat, they are quite wide and can be a problem with close together sockets, like on boss pedals. My LS2 for instance has 3 cables going out of each side, wouldn't work with most flat cables.

Incidentally, I can't find the box now to be exact about it, but that LS-2 is from the late 90s or early 2000s, and everything on it is solid as a rock. Boss pedals are built like tanks. 🙂

I’ve cut it down for gigs. 😂

two questions
what are the little mushrooms on the switches...

 

and why none for the origin effects stuff?

and ... minus one mixer, three filters, and one chorus ...

They are pedal toppers. 
 

no reason other than I forgot to put them on. 😂

My toppers don’t fit my Origin pedal (or Sansamps for that matter). Do yours and if so, what brand are they?

Super streamlined, grab and go, catch all pedalboard:

No they don’t 😏. Oh well they are always on. Makes no difference. 😂

Very neat.

 

Compression after drive 👍

 

Also that's pretty much how I have my VMT set too.

Don’t allow other people’s pedalboard OCD to alter your set up 😀

Ha! You think this is OCD?! You haven't seen OCD - this is just liking an orderly pedalboard.

My gigrig atom is in for an upgrade, so just went with this simple set up at rehearsal tonight instead of fuzzes and delays and verbs.... I've only just recently reacquired the XXL. I absolutely love it. Wonderfully filthy distortion. Don't see many around these days...shame. I love it.

I’ve owned two of these in the past. You’re right, it’s a great pedal!

I finally got around to wiring up my all-minis pedalboard. I wanted to see if I could replicate the majority of the functionality of my do-everything big board. A reverb, looper and DI are the missing pieces but I’m happy with the result and, because the boards are tiny, it would be easy to make them modular.

 

 

Signal chain: signal cleaner (under board) > tuner > compressor > transformer (under board) > octave > OD/distortion > fuzz > filter > synth > chorus > flanger > phaser > delay

I don’t think you’d have space for it but the Hotone IR cab sim pedal which is also a mini (similar to the Mooer Radar) would be the perfect compliment to add IR/DI out as an option.

Thanks for the heads up, I wasn’t aware of that and it looks great!

 

I’m heading to a practice room tonight so I thought I could manage without a cab sim today but that’s a good shout. I have a Shiftline Cabzone Bass that has a similar function so I may give that a whirl too.

The shift line looks pretty good! And it that the LBA transformer hiding underneath? Nice find! I’ve been on the lookout for one of those for a while!

Yep, that’s the LBA transformer. I think I got quite lucky with it in that I read that they’ve now been discontinued. Hopefully that’s just in their current form though. I ordered directly from LBA and, had it not been held up for a month in customs, it would have been pretty straightforward to get. It also doesn’t need dedicated power (it has only the instrument cable connections) so it’s great to keep under the board.

what's it for? decoupling the instrument?

It’s just meant to add transformer saturation to the tone. I’m yet to play with it too much but I think it likes being zapped with a decent amount of gain from the pedal before. I use a compressor with a transformer as part of my desktop set up so, as part of trying to replicate some of that sound in miniature, I thought I would try a transformer in line on this board after the compressor.

Richy Titchy Pedalboard v2.0 currently in progress... the wood is assembled but I can't decide whether to go with black paint or just varnish. It's only scrappy bits of pine so TBH I'm leaning towards black. I wish I'd had some nice scrap wood to hand, a mahogany pedalboard would have been really cool.
