I forgot to highlight this but I LOVE that board! If I ever got into more electronic-focused stuff I'd definitely get a Xero and a Hothand :)

Not exactly a pedalboard, it's actually a music stand covered in Velcro, but it puts the effects at the right height.

It's an Eventide Space which is amazing, a Korg Kaoss Pad KP3+. The bright glow is from my ebow, and on the floor is a Pigtronix Infinity looper.

I've finally managed to decide on a fuzz... It's a fredrics fuzz, and its bloody amazing! With a blend control its tame enough for my use but can be cranked to go a bit wild ! Got it last week, done 3 gigs with it and its a keeper.

I've also just recently got myself a new small case and board, perfect size and leaves no space for extras.

Basically it goes.. Bsw dry signal - pitch shifter - fuzz - ms60b(which is my graphic eq, noise gate, preamp and modulation) - ls2 - into amp.

The bsw wet signal goes straight Into to ls2. Means that the octaver and occasional synth from it remains in effected... It just sounds massive when it kicks in.

As you can see there is no power... I bought a diago micro power on here but its went missing in the post but it seems to be the ideal power solution so I'll probably try to source another one.

I'm using the sonuus B2M and the box the GBC is sitting on (lsdjmc2) whatever notes I play on bass to trigger notes inside the sequencing software I have on the GBC (software called lsdj).
Its really fun, though I have to play up by the octave until I figure away to transpose the midi data up an octave so lsdj stops dropping the lower notes.

Tldr: I'm using the gameboy as a synth pedal triggered by my bass playing. Theres still a few hitches, but realy fun.

Liking the BB set up. Love my Preamp, wouldn't get rid of it.

I've had at least one on my board for ages, provides most of the actual grind for me. The guitar version is for a boost in solo and louder sections.

Quality pedal worth the RRP

So for a while now I've been quite content using a little Mooer firefly pedalboard. It's nice and compact and all my pedals fitted quite nicely. Until I went and got a VOX Straight 6 valve overdrive. Due to the new pedal and my amp having a built in tuner, my polytune mini came off the board. Then more recently, I got a Digitech compressor pedal from here. So I've now 2 pedals that don't fit on my board and require power.

Well I decided something needed to be done as it was also getting a little cramped...

After looking around I settled on the Behringer PB600, price wise I was happy and it's a powered board just like my Mooer one. It arrived yesterday whilst I out, so this morning I made the most if a sunny garden and started swapping everything over...

After much umming, ahhhhing and head/chin scratching and an hour of foam cutting and playing Tetris with my pedals I finished. The box and item description online stated that I'd only power 6 pedals, so I was geared up to buy an additional power supply, but it actually has power for 7 pedals which was a nice little bonus...

All in all I'm quite pleased with it. Everything fits, it's not too weighty and it was also relatively light on the wallet.

DI optimised variant! :D (Hello london!) Same as before but the 'California sound' goes after the mini mixer not before to give some amp flavour and compression to the whole setup. There's also a fuzz and standard wah to go in front, i may need a bigger board if i want to add those to the 'portable' set though!

This is one variant of my board.
The Carl Martin Combinator saves a lot of one foot dancing. It gives me 18 combinations of my pedals with one button push.

Ok, i admit its getting silly now. Bringing the old faithfull zoom 505 out of retirement! I sort of live in multiple places, so the BIG amp is staying in london with the flying V bass and some pedals. Back down 'yer in the westcountry it's smaller kit and the faithfull pink commie P-bass. :D

Great setup! How are you finding the radial di? Looks worth a shot at £70...
[/quote]

Yeah good actually. I'm using it just after my tuner and before everything else so its sending a clean signal to front of house that will still cut when I tune. I use pretty hi levels of dirt all the time so I find putting a mic on my cab gets me a nicer sound out front, the DI is just there to add a little weight back in if the engineer needs it, working really well so far. As you say for £70 I couldn't go wrong.

My ultra minimalist set up may raise a few eyebrows:

Vein TAp Murder One latching silent kill switch > Boss RC1 > Murder One LSKS

[center][/center]

I use this to loop an acoustic instrument. Only the Looped section goes through an amplifier and I play over the top of this acoustically. Before I got the pedals I used my hands to mute/un-mute my amp and microphone. Now I can use my feet and continue to play before the loop kicks in.
