Ok so as some of you may have noticed, I sold the Strymons recently. I also sold the midi switcher as I wasn't really digging it. It's a great unit, I just don't find it as useful as I hoped I would.
So with those gone, I need a new board. New project time!

I'm going to do up this board like I did the last one - all the cables will be run under the board, and I may even recess the power supply so the vibe machine is at an even height with the tuner. More because I can than out of necessity. But it will look cool. I've definitely learned a lot from doing the last board though - I know i need to make the routes for the cables wider and just slightly deeper so that they fit better and the pedals can grip the Velcro well.
The mesa footswitch is a placeholder for a switcher for my space echo and reverb unit that I'm currently having a friend paint up for me. The rising sun enclosure is a placeholder for a Diamond Memory Lane Jr. The little mini enclosure in the corner will be an expression pedal for the Spectre. Last but not least, I'll have a patchbay under the tuner. So overall it will have way less going on than my last big board, but I'm okay with that. I can always swap out a pedal here or there - I think getting a different fuzz that I can change out the sunface with would be a good idea. This board will definitely have less modulation than I'm used to, but the Spectre can do a lot of different tones, and I'll still have the space echo and reverb unit in the chain, so I'm not too worried.
For what it's worth, this board will be used with my Bassman. My plan is to have one board for each of my amps. My Egnater board is already done, and I just need a delay for this board and a phaser for my Mesa board and they'll all be done.
For now.
