Here is 3 boards to show you guys. 1st one up is a simple one with a vintage fuzz face, Stone Bender, Time Machine Boost, Teese Wah and then a Strymon El Capistan . My faves are the El Cap and the vintage Fuzz face for sure. The Stone Bender is cool also.

Here is another board done for a local client. Small and simple. Pretty straight up. Starts with the Boss octave,Little Big muff, Vintage Dod overdrive 250, Fulltone Ocd, Boss Tuner,Small Stone Nano and Small Clone nano. The Nano versions of the Small Clone and Stone sound Fantastic and are a great size. Loves those. Here you go.

The last board was for Producer Oliver Leiber. He wanted a small board with a lot of stuff for a gig he was doing. Not sure we could pack anymore on it. Starts with the vintage AF 201 envelope,Apex Punch Factory,Zvex Box of Rock,Dirty little Secret,Throbak Overdrive boost,Prescription Cob pedal,Tu2 Tuner,Boss Vb2 vibrato,Cool Cat Vibe, Cool Cat Trem,Trex Replica,Spring Chicken Reverb and finally Ep Booster. Surprisingly the Cool cat vibe was very cool. Also a fav is the Af201 and the Boss vb-2. Here you go.

Been itching to see a Pedaboard of the Week, and we get 3! Sweet! You're boards are inspiring Dave!
On the second board, was it your client's choice to not use the Switchcraft clone plugs you usually use, or did you think it served this board better?
Also, do you have a personal favorite for compressors for rock players?

Thanks for the eye candy!
 
He had the ends so we used them. Compressors are tricky. Depends on what you want it for???
 
Re: compressor. Lookin for subtle smoothing out of cleaner passages. Occasional smooth sustain of distorted solos. I liked the tone and ability to blend with regular signal of the Philosopher's Tone, but found it a tad too noisy and the pedal in/out in an inconvenient position.

Looks like you almost exclusively use glabs now?
What has your experience been with the MXR/CAE mc-403?
 
I like the Keeley 4 knob compressor. The Barber is also cool it has a mix knob. THe Hartman comp is cool and has a real vibe to it. Also yes the Mxr CAE power supply is cool and works well in certain applications. The Glab is great because it powers many high current pedals and has zero field hum.
