For whatever reason, the Blackbox and the KOT (or POT) complement each other really well. Initially, I planned on setting up the KOT as Boost>OD, with the Blackbox set as kind of a dirty boost, with a little bit of gain and the output a bit above unity. But I never got around to it, and I've found that I like running it with the KOT set to default OD>Boost, with the Blackbox set more like a typical OD. That way, depending on the song or part, I can either use the OD on the KOT and use the boost for a volume jump, or I can use the Blackbox as my OD and use the boost to push it harder for more gain and compression, without getting much louder, if at all.Really nice pedal choices--great-looking board. Surprised to see the KOT-Black Box pairing though. They complement each other well?
Also, how is that Lovepedal tremolo? I never knew they even made a trem in a vertical enclosure.
What do you use the Zoom Ms-50 for?
The best tool for the job, amirite?I like seeing a Zoom and Analogman on the same board!
Just curious, why keep the mini tuner when the EQ2 has a tuner built in?
Looks great. How do you like the Ditto +?Small but does everything I need.

Nice and neat. I especially like how the pedals are grouped by brand.Happy new year from New Zealand (again)!
My 2022 board looks to be very similar to my 2021 board, time will tell if it will change at all.

Cool. I just ordered a new Cusack tremolo pedal, but had I even known about the Lovepedal, I would have given it a try, simply because it would have fit so much better on the new board I'm building. Oh well : )For whatever reason, the Blackbox and the KOT (or POT) complement each other really well.

Its funny, i probably wouldn't have hit upon this particular dirt set up on my own, but it works really well. Plus, running the KOT OD and the Blackbox OD makes for some cool sounds!
The Lovepedal Tremolo is pretty sweet. It has tap for the trem rate, plus all of the knobs you would expect- depth, rate, and output volume. It can also be set as a very clean boost, if you set the depth all of the way off and the volume up. The only thing that could make it better is if it had tap subdivisions; it's impossible to tap in 8th notes at 180bpm!
I really dig it though. I'm not sure if tremolo pedals have their own 'sound', but this one seems to. Not like EQ, but for some reason it reminds me more of some BF Fenders I've tried that have tremolo. Maybe it's the power of suggestion because of the font? Either way, it works for me!

It’s the same as the last part of 2021! And I love the simplicity and purity of the tone of this!
