the others will come and go (some were bought for collector value - so they will of course go) but the Dingotone was amongst my first few fuzzes (they've all moved on) and it will be the last fuzz I ever own, if/when it comes to that

Well... Splitted by big board into 2.

Bass board is smaller, with the MS-3 with EQ and BB-1X. Those 2 effects I like to control live and adjust so having them burried into a series of menus grinded my gears. The MS-3 really makes it convenient. It is also battery powered. so very portable. Built on a Pedaltrain Metro 16.

Guitar board is now lighter, PT-2. Will likely add some chorus or dimension in there in the future.

That allowed me to make this setup for bass, guitar and drums. Proud of this renovation.

Really nice! I wish I had a music room like this.

Hi Gasgano, really cool boards.
The PS-6 can do a really cool chorus if the need should arise.
On the other hand, you have enough real estate on your board for a dedicated pedal. :mrgreen:

I've been recovering for some minor medical stuff (nothing terrible, but getting old sucks!) so to pass some of the time I've been playing around with a stereo rig.

I bought a second Dr. Z Maz 18 and built a "first hack" at a small stereo board. My old big board (16 pedals?) was doing a bit of tone-suck. This new smaller board is mostly true bypass and mostly very nice!

Power is from a home built, star-connected, 7809 linear voltage regulator based power supply fed by a 12VDC nameplate wall wart. The power supply is in a Hammond box screwed to the back of the pedalboard. The wall wart actually gives out about 15VDC, so the power supply regulates nicely down to 8.97V. One day I will jack the output voltage up to 9.6V, but I've left it for now.

The tone is delicious. I simply cannot give enough praise to the Maz 18.

I will eventually swap the CE-5 out for a true stereo chorus. I have my eye on a Strymon Ola to compliment their very nice reverb. If anyone has an Ola that would like to move along, please let me know!

I am going to put together a subsidiary fuzz board - I have 5 variations of fuzz that I could find quickly - 32TB2, DingoTone GHF, my old original fuzz prototype, DingoTone CSF, and a Boss FZ-3.

Sub board completed.

Two different types of fuzz with HZD after for EQ, plus ML-2 for super heavy.

I have a Strymon Ola full stereo chorus from Mrs Laurie under the Christmas tree to replace the CE-5 on the main board :D

I had to disassemble the power supply to add an extra output lead to power the sub board.

While I had it open I did the 9.6V mod. It works flawlessly.

This is what you do...

A few weeks ago Mrs. Laurie was kind enough to buy me an early Christmas present - a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe (series I, 1996) in desperate need of repair. See here:
viewtopic.php?f=14&t=851

After a few tens of hours and about $100 in parts (capacitors, jacks, resistors, tubes, materials to make a new back), it is working perfectly.

So of course I couldn't use any existing pedals or pedal board... I *had* to have a pedalboard specifically for this amp :D
  • No-name board with built in power supply (cheap, Black Friday sale). Added 20mm Aluminium angle on the sides and back to extend the footprint.
  • DingoTone GHF for fuzz
  • A rehoused DingoTone BSD and FDD that I had laying around - into a dual pedal
  • A no-name phaser with 3PDT true bypass (cheap, Black Friday sale). Essentially a Phase 90. Sounds surprisingly very good.
  • Analogue CE-5
  • RV-5
  • DD-2 that I've had forever - fixed some major issues about 10 years ago (this is the pedal that started the "how to fix a long-chip DD-2/3" thread)
Suits the amp perfectly.
