This is what I'm thinking. The existing ones are riveted in which makes it awkward to remove and I just need to find some taller rubber feet somewhere.

 

 

I drilled out the feet on my Nano+ and fitted some jacknuts and tall rubber feet.

It was a simple job. The bits to do it cost less than a tenner.

Mine as it is at the moment. Loving the Two Notes pre amp. The Boss LS2 speeds up bass changes, I can keep two plugged in and set levels for each.

Main gigging board, portable battery powered board for short sets and when the main is too big, Pbass home board to play with IR’s. 

How do you find the Sfx Red Dragon? I’ve a Black Dragon and wondered how they compared?

for me its works best as a tube warmth and edge of breakup pedal, similar to how I use the BBBOD on the big board. I believe the black dragon is a full on overdrive/distortion IIRC.

A mock up of my board before it gets all wired up. I still might swap out the Darkglass compressor for the new 

Cali 76 though.

After my new PSU arrived I integrated my Shure wireless receiver, replacing the old tuner.

Latest, and hopefully final, iteration...

Yeah, the Black Dragon is a combination between an overdrive/distortion etc. You can get a bit of hair to the sound but it is a bit harsher than I personally go for. My guitarist mate tried it with a Tele and it sounded ace!

Now that is a nice board 😎

Easy for me though because I play in an acoustic duo so it's essentially just quite niche tone shaping.

SGFX Diamond B stock now available 

 

I like the Beta V, the Supa Funk Bi-Filter and the BCP/EQ

I've had a board of Broughton pedals for a long time and, after a recent flurry of succeeding on releases, I decided to make a bigger board. It's sorely missing the flanger of the Utility Knife (which Josh Broughton helped design) so maybe that will go back on the board with the Omnicomp sneaking underneath. It's an absolute monster though and weighs a ton. It has comp, EQ, fuzz, OD, distortion, envelope, phaser, boost, PLL, tubes, preamps and DI and headphone out, so it covers a lot of ground.

 

I've tried my hand at putting together a few more manufacturer specific boards which I expect will see the light of day here soon. I know that doesn't float everyone's boat but I've still got my main board, clean board and headphone amp boards that do most of the work so the manufacturer-specific boards are just ways of enjoying the pedals I've spent forever F5ing for rather than keeping them in boxes.

 

I really like fuzz into octave and realised there are a lot of competing dirt pedals so I've tried to vary them so that I can various combinations e.g. fuzz into distortion into fuzz into OD into distortion.

 

Not pictured: there is a Broughton BBA and a Studio Boost Mini on the back, along with two Cioks DC7s and two DC8s.

What are your thoughts on the studio boost? How much tonal character does it impart? I’m a big fan of boosts that do something you can’t quite put your finger on, simpler the better (cream pie deluxe, phat Phuk etc) 

 

I should probably still just get a Studio one

It’s kind of difficult to say. I think some is the likeliest answer. The studio pedals impart a bit of subtle sweetness that I find quite pleasing. I put the tone in a similar bracket to the Caveman BP1: kind of studio sheen rather than beefy heft or overdriven/gain-fuelled.

I’ve placed it where I have here to give the envelope, phaser and tubes to get stuck into. A lot of the folks on the Talkbass Broughton thread like to use it with the Messenger as almost a DIY Studio One.

 

The Studio One is a great pedal and crazily good for the price. The BP1-C is about the closest comparator for the price I think in terms of tone that I have used, although I’ve heard a few people compare it to the JHS Colorbox.

This is my current board. Quite simple by all accounts. Zoom for tuner and chorus, Boss OC-5 Octave, MXR Envelope Filter, Mooer Reverb, Ampeg Optical Compressor and EBS Microbass II. All used with fretless and EUB. Wish I could lose the power bank but despite being super thin already, it wont fit under the board.

 

 

If its a pedaltrain board, then somthing like this would fit over the existing feet:

Can't remember if it was this exact size, but this type of leg tip raised my nanoplus enough to put the power underneath. Mine stayed on purely with friction, but a wee touch of superglue wouldn't go wrong, without the need to make any permanent changes to your board!

[glassmoon]

So I decided to have a good look into stripping down my outboard gear even more. I played around with my Zoom MS-60B and found - much to delight - that I can use an amp, set 100% flat and still use the cab option. 

 

So now the TC Electronic impulse response loader is off (as is the chorus, which as much as I adore chorus, I just don't use it in the pub band) and the Zoom does a decent enough cab sim. 

 

The DemonFX Tone Mallet is there only for my Ibanez BTB 6, as a preamp (the older BTBs are brilliant, but the vari-mid eq is a bit bleh after playing the Sadowsky).

Exceptional pedal game as ever!

Thank you so much, looks like I'm off to B&Q tomorrow 👍

Had a spare Pedaltrain PB-3 riser and put together this basic board for tomorrow. Love the Fliptop so much it’s my core tone and always on. The Studio One refines it further and just makes it smooth and silky as how I would describe it. Only thing is that it takes time to tweak and find the sweet spot and settings of this thing

State of my main board. Found a £20 nano+ in fb marketplace and rewired my board for the nth time

 

 

 

[bouvier]

I have swapped out and added a few new pedals.   Mocked up the board (ran out of room).   Hope to finish it this week

[GisserD]

My current plaything. Changes are incoming however as I really would like to set up some midi controll.
