I Started Building My Hybrid Pedalboard.

I got the holes drilled and mounted the breakout panels from my old pedalboard to the new one. I think I have the layout finalized, and I'm ready to wire it up.

I think this is the layout I'm going to do.

Signal path is going to be:
Input jack
Peterson Tuner
EHX Freeze
Morningstar ML5 switcher
A)Griffin Analog Beez Nutz
B)EQD Warden and Griffin Analog Echoplex Bias
C)Modded Rat
D)Hermida Zendrive
E)Blackout Effectors Whetstone (or the clone when I get it)
FX8 Input
(Left out only)
EHX Pitchfork
TC Mimiq
Stereo into Mesa Amps
FX8 Stereo sends
Return to both amps

The FX8 is going to control both amps, and switch the Morningstar ML5 switcher via MIDI, while doing stereo effects in both loops. I have a days worth of making cables and programming ahead of me.

What do you think so far?

Looks really good man, however... I think you are being slightly optimistic thinking its just going to be "a" days worth of making cables and programming.

I think I can do it in 24 hours.

As long as I don't sleep...
What does hybrid mean here?
Analog signal path up front and digital in the loop. It's a blend of both. Rather than relying on all modeling for my effects, I'm real analog effects and amps and just using digital time based effects.

Hybrid is usually a blend of analog effects and amps and digital effects, modeling, and IRs. My previous band used modeling preamps into a Mesa power amp and cab for a hybrid setup. I was using real amps and a processor (the FX8) for effects, but I'm adding pedals up front to keep the input analog.

Thanks! That makes sense. Appreciate the explanation.
