I use this pedal board for three different setups. In the picture here it's going out from the AMT M1 into the side jack that then goes into everything to the Left of the blue pedal in stereo and into a Mosvalve SS power amp. If I'm running two tube amps I take out the M1 and go from the SD-1 into the front of amp 1. Then then use the side jacks amp 1's loop and the second stereo out jack of the 720 looper into amp 2's return. Or I can run it in mono into just one amp.

I swap out a few things , but for the most part this is usually my board. Guitar goes into Keeley Plus compressor > JHS unicorn > demon fx king of drive > keely moon fuzz > Wampler Velvet fuzz > evh 5150 overdrive > front of amp
The rest is running in my loop - digitech Luxe > keeley caverns > boss rt20 rotary

Underneath the board is a re-housed ISP Decimator G-String II, Source Audio Neuro Hub, and a 2-channel remote true bypass looper (adds 2 extra loops to the ES-5).

We got the Dunlop Crybaby -> PolyTune -> MXR Phase 90 -> Fulltone Deja Vibe -> SD-1 -> PLX Spirytus -> EQD Hizumitas -> Boss BF-2 -> EHX Small Clone -> EQD Afterneath -> Strymon El Capistan -> Boss NS-2 -> Radial Bigshot AB. Cioks DC-7 Power Supply.

The nice thing about this setup is it’s easy for me to separate the Afterneath and El Cap to put in the loop of an amp. This setup is how I run it to my Fender Rig. Perfect for cleans, modulations, Dream pop, muff affected distortions and pretending to play lead in Tears for Fears. The Hizumitas is my all out gain/lead tone. The Spirytus alternates as a heavy rhythm tone and lead if needed. They both sound awesome boosted.

One thing not on there is my SUF Astoria. It gets swapped in for the Spirytus to have two different muff flavors if I want that. The Hizumitas is based off a clone of a Triangle. The Astoria is a clone of a specific Ram’s Head. Both sound like Muffs but the differences are really cool. The Hizumitas is more scooped and smooth. The he Astoria has more grit in the mids.

Signal path is -> gig rig switcher -> Analogman Sun Lion -> Prescription Electronics C.O.B. -> Shin-Ei Vibe 2 -> Vemuram Jan-Ray -> Fulltone Hi-Mu -> Catalinbread Belle Epoch -> TC Flashback -> Strymon Flint -> out of the switcher and into the Poly Tune to the amp.
