I swapped the EQ for the Skreddy, removed the DE7, and changed all of my settings on the Echorec.

Current set up (will be changing again)
Flex Reaction Compound 55
Boss BD-2
Big Muff Nano
Electroman
HOF2
Mini looper
Trio

Will be adding my CE-2 chorus back in if the power adapter works out but that won't be in until Saturday.
Looking to add a compressor and tuner but those will not go through the switcher.
Also waiting on the 1 foot patch cables tomorrow to finish wiring everything up.

You can fit like 12 more pedals on that thing.
 
Version 3.0

Moved the giant Vai pedal off the board entirely, added the three new TC pedals, removed the noise suppressor, HotHead, and Joyo Chorus. Put the TC HOF2 on the first row to use the "Mash" button.

Routed into the crybaby, then the two compressors, then the dirt, then the modulation pedals, then the delays (all FOUR of them), then to the Holy Grail and out to the HOF 2 last in the chain.

Top row now empty, will likely be where a better clean boost goes.

Version 4.0

This might be the last tweak (for now).

The pedal order and the signal chain are nowhere near the same. Routing all that shit together in the proper signal order was mind boggling.

Anyway, the Vai Legacy pedal will sit beside this on the floor. Probably going to run an A/B switch too. Still room on the board for it. Will also quite likely run the Katana 50 AND the JC-77 both. The Katana sits nicely on top of the JC, and it would wildly open up my tonal options.


Seen below:

Crybaby Classic
MXR Dynacomp
Tokai TC-02 Compressor
EHX Pitchfork
BOSS HM-2
ProCo RAT
TC Hall of Fame 2
"The Jeremy Drive"
BOSS BF-2
JOYO Analog Chorus
BOSS NF-1 (Noise Gate)
Digitech HotHead (as a clean boost)
ARIA AD-10 Analog Delay
JOYO Quattro Delay
TC Echobrain Analog Delay
TC The Prophet Digital Delay
TC Afterglow Chorus
EHX Holy Grail

Ho Lee shit!

I'm heading over to my neighbor's to jam this weekend, so I threw this together.

I don't need much over there, he is a classic rock kinda guy, so that is usually what we play. My regular board is torn apart right now. I've got to rebuild it before the rest of my parts get here Tuesday.
 
Ok... version 5.0 (?)

I like it, it's neatly laid out and everything is where I need it to be. All of the pedals with any sort of expression switch (wah, pitchfork, HOF2, Spark Booster) are on the first row for easy access.

The signal chain is a bit insane, but it works brilliantly. Signal enters at the Crybaby, it's output goes to the Noise Clamp, which has it's output going to the pitchfork, the compressors, the modulation, delays, reverbs, and finally out from the sparkle.

All of the dirt pedals are in the loop of the Noise Clamp. The pedal order bears no semblance to the actual signal path. If I change anything at all, it would be adding the compressors to the loop with the dirt, but that doesn't seem necessary from what I can hear. I'll crank it up tomorrow and see...

^ Forgot to mention that the dirt pedal loop is post compression and pre modulation. This keeps the "natural order" of FX as is typically the norm.

The reason the pitchfork is essentially first (after the wah), is because I've found that pitch shifters and harmonizers work, track, and sound best when getting the most unmolested guitar signal. Putting them after distortion can be a shrill shitshow, and after modulation, they track poorly.
 
Bummer. The Echorec is going back. I got it last night and it was in true bypass mode. Went to switch it to trails mode and the switch had broken off. Contacted Catalinbread, because they have fixed 2 used pedals for free in the past, but they charge a flat $50 repair fee that includes return shipping. I got a good deal on this one, but not that good. Luckily they guy is local, so I am dropping it off to him tomorrow.

The Echorec is back. So the guy I bought it from on Reverb, lives about 10 minutes from me. When I gave it back to him, he said he was going to get if fixed and if he sold it, he'd let me know. Well he called this morning and Catalinbread ended up fixing it for him for free, so I bought it off him. They also sent it back in an Echorec box in one of those little bags.

Ideally, I'd like to swap the Ghost Echo for a Blue Sky. I've got an open spot for whatever pedal I'm digging.
