Pedalboard revamp: Configure my board!

[boltino]

Hey folks,

I've gotten a few new pedals in recently and decided to totally revamp my board. I've used this for a few years with great results but wanted to mix it up a bit (I usually use it with a Budda Superdrive (sometimes a Princeton or AC30) playing mostly Progressive Rock):




I decided to take everything apart and start over. Here are the pedals I have to work with:




For clarification, here is a list of the pedals pictured:

Budda Wah
Ernie Ball Volume
Axess BS-2 Buffer
Peterson Strobostomp
Budda Ftsw (x 2)
Tim
Pork Loin
Box of Rock
Super Duper 2in1
DIY Ftsw
Keeley TS9
Klon
Big Muff Pi
Budda Phatman
TS808
Tribooster
Switchbone
Tone Press
Chicklet
Memory Toy
Malekko 616
ARDX20
Deluxe Memory Man
Dl4


I thought it might be interesting to see how you guys would configure a board using these pedals. I don't want to put many constraints on it, other than you can use any of the pedals listed; I'm curious to see how YOU would configure a board. Small board, large board, doesn't matter. I'm sure some of you would just pick a few and be done, others would put all of them in a row; nothing wrong with either of those. I'm looking to bust out of a rut and get some new ideas. Thanks in advance for your time!

What kind of music do you play? Do you use tap tempo? Do you play a modern or vintage high gain sound?

I personally would go

Big Muff
Klon or Budda
Vol Pedal
DMM

but I don't even really know what kind of sound you're going for here.

EDIT: Oh if your amp has a instrument level loop I'd put the DMM in there. I'd just go fuzz->OD, then vol pedal for swells, and pick between the AM delay and the DMM for delays. You've got a lot of ground covered repeatedly there.

I would probably go wah > Tone Press > Big Muff > Klon, Tim, Pork Loin and/or TS-9 (depending on how big of a board you want) > BoR > Super Duper > DMM > ARDX20 > Chicklet

You have some nice gear dude!

Very cool, thanks!

Yeah, I didn't want to pigeon hole the board to any particular sound. The stuff I play is pretty eclectic so I figured I'd leave it stylistically vague in hopes of a wider range of suggestions.

I need to stay out of the emporium.

Or trade some of that dirt for modulation :P

HA! I fully expected this comment. I've thought about that; I used to use too much phaser and had to take a break (for myself and everyone listening.)

Some of the dirt will be leaving; there's a good bit of overlap in there. I should really think about getting some modulation.

I hear you, the emporium is a dangerous place

unless you're selling stuff of course

[boldaslove1977]

you can't go wrong with any of that stuff...

but...

with that group of pedals you can cover a lot of ground.

throw in vibe... phase... trem... even 1 or 2 of those 3... and you can cover a TON of ground!

trade one or two of those pricey drive pedals for something juicy!
