i know it's been forever since this was posted, but i was surfing for possible disaster transport mods & wondered what was modded on yours - if you happen to see this, mind elaborating?

+ thanks!
sure man, it was actually just a super-simple clean boost circuit right before the output :) with a trimpot to set the gain

Really cool thread!

I'll make mine quick. I had this setup for a few years. Felt it was all I needed.

But then I got my first fuzz. :facepalm: :animal:

Image

And it's been been building up ever since.

Such a good thread
Sadly I only got a digital camera a few years ago, and started using things like photobucket, FB, twitter to save photos. I wish I had my very first pedal board(s)

Anyway, as it stands, here is my earliest board.

Image

that setup pretty much made this (minus the slicer - I had something else there, and the dirt was the Zoom UF-01 rather than the GT-OD, but cant find a pic)
this is really old video BTW!

I used the second Digidelay as a wierd chorus, and soon upgraded to an analog Chorus

Image

Somewhere along the line I decided I needed a horrendous massive pedal board to house all the pedals I started building, along with my commercial collection.

couple of DIY aqua pusses for delay, along with a deep blue delay clone.

Image

started collecting the reissue way huges, so these got a spin for a while

Image

then I got some more EH, namely a HOG and a Microsynth. a dedicated reverb appears (turquoise blade runner, a digilog based 'verb on a 1776 board)
My first memory man clone was also around for a long while :)

Image

a trip to the US landed me a couple of strymons, this was before the Big Sky came out. the simple reverb was upgraded to a Tenebrion from Grind customs
reverted to a single source of drive. retired my Space Station in favour of a cheaper to replace XP-all modded XP-100 whammy wah, used exclusively in space station mode.

Image

a wild big sky appears, also with the addition of the Dinosaural OPA-101 pre amp (great pedal) HOG ditched....

Image

MIDI control made an appearance, along with the Dinosaural compressor (another classic)

Image

The need for a second power supply meant a bit of a rearrange, along with the loss of a mainstay, the Line 6 DL-4 due to looping ability of the timeline
Got myself and Elements and never looked back....

Image

The Paradox TZF replaces the EHX microsynth, and some extra Dr Scientist dirt enters the fray
The long standing Korg Kaoss pad is ditched in favour of a long-searched-for real Deluxe Memory Man

Image

The final evolution, with an extra Elements to cover both low and high gain duties.

Image

beleive it or not, this is now really out of date and I am well over 100 pedals last I checked...

Image

I love pedlols almost as much as lols with her

There's an updated version of this thread somewhere? I know because I posted like a million more boards since that. LOL
