Oh, and for those interested.....
I was very specific as to how I wanted the pedals placed - from location on the board right down to the precise distance between the pedals and rows.
Due to the pedal placement, the signal flow is a little bit "counter-intuitive". Again, this was per my request. Casey probably would have organized the board differently if it was his or he had "carte blanc" to do pedal placement himself.
And yes, I am a right-handed, left-footed wah freak!
So, signal flow.....
Note: the buffer was placed after the POG2 loop and Fuzz loop in the True Bypass Looper Box, as I wanted to be able to (a) run the POG2 before my Fuzz and Xotic BB+, and (b) the Fuzz doesn't play nice with buffers!
Guitar Output --> True Bypass Looper Box Input --> Tuner Send (note: mutes audio when engaged) --> Loop 1 To/From POG2 --> Loop 2 To/From Earthquaker Devices Hoof Fuzz --> Internal Casey Hanson Custom 'Stevia' Buffer Circuit --> True Bypass Looper Box Output --> Xotic BB+ (OD and Boost) --> CAE MC-404 Crybaby --> Pedalboard Interface Box --> To Amp Input
Note: In the below signal path, the Egnater Loop Gadget is behind my amp, not on the pedalboard
Amp FX Send --> Egnater Loop Gadget Input --> Egnater Loop Gadget FX Send --> Pedalboard Interface Box FX Send In --> Pedalboard Interface Box FX Send Out --> Electro Harmonix Freeze --> Strymon Orbit Flanger --> Empress Vintage Modified Superdelay --> Diamond Tremolo --> Strymon Blue Sky Reverb --> Pedalboard Interface Box FX Return In --> Pedalboard Interface Box FX Return Out --> Egnater Loop Gadget FX Return --> Egnater Loop Gadget Output --> Amp FX Return
One of the cool features is that Casey also wired the Pedalboard Interface Box to run the entire board in series when not using the second signal chain in an FX loop. To do this, I simply:
* plug my guitar output into the True Bypass Looper Box input (as outlined above);
* do not plug anything into the Pedalboard Interface Box amp output jack; and
* plug the Pedalboard Interface Box FX Return Out into the input of an amp.
When run this way, the output from the CAE MC-404 Crybaby effectively runs into the Electro Harmonix Freeze, and follows through the second signal chain already outlined above. Super cool and super flexible!
