Let's see your PEDAL BOARD!

signal chain: (lower right) Mellowtone Hi Five clean boost->EHX Octave Multiplexer for bass notes->EHX Attack Decay w/Moog expression pedal (not shown)->Ibanez LF7 Lo Fi->Catalinbread WIIO reissue->Stomping Stones Virus->Analog Music Co. So High So Low HP/LP filter->Chase Bliss/Cooper fx Generation Loss v2->Demedash T-120 videotape delay->Fjord Fuzz MIMI reverb->Farm Pedals Expanding Universe reverb.

where's the shallowWater in the chain?

oops. between the SHSL and Generation Loss.

i realize the routing/placement is a bit weird, but the idea is to have the things i’m more likely to adjust in front where they’re easy to reach. the LF7, WIIO, and Shallow Water are more or less single-setting pedals for me though anything can get tweaked, while the Virus covers a very broad spectrum from OD to fuzz, the SHSL settings are entirely context-dependent, the Gen Loss has a huge number of sounds, and as a delay the T-120 time varies greatly. the Attack Decay is in the upper right-hand corner because that’s the only place it’d fit given that the boost used to match guitar input levels and the octave divider have to be all the way in front.

perhaps it’d be more accurate to say that the pedals in the back will probably only get set once per session, while the front could get tweaked at any time. the Attack Decay is OK on the outside because it gets adjusted with the expression pedal.

i have to say that laying this board out was much easier using flat cables with small rectangular heads. the entire sequence from the LF7 to the Generation Loss would have been much trickier with standard plugs, particularly the space between the WIIO and Shallow Water which had to accommodate three plugs and two 9V cables.

the only frustrating thing is that though the T-120 is much quieter than before, it starts picking up clock noise when the time is greater than ~600ms which is a bummer because that’s about the shortest delay time i usually even use.
