(Out front) Sonic Research Turbo Tuner > Klon KTR > Fulltone OCD > Xotic Effects AC Booster > Diamond Tremolo > MXR Analog Chorus > TC Electronic Ditto > Amp
(In the loop) Walrus Audio Slö > Walrus Audio Fathom > Walrus Audio Mako D1 (controlled by the Morningstar MC6) > Diamond Memory Lane 2 < Amp

Best Small/Fly Gig Pedalboard - Marc G

this is my COVID19 board I put together during the lockdown... signal chain is Big Muff Clone -> Fulltone FB-3 -> TC Electronic Spark Boost -> Boss PH-2 SUPER Phaser (super NEEDS to be in Caps) -> Wampler Tube Echo -> Mooer Ana-Echo -> Spark Boost Mini.

typically at home I'd run it straight into the front of my amp but if I wanted to do 4CM I would break the signal after the phaser and just have the top row in the loop of my amp

Best Home Studio/Recording Rig - ajaxlepinski

BEHOLD! Electric Lady Bedroomland Studio!

Link Wray autograph & Moai on the left speaker / the Batmobile (arrived 6-11-20) on the right speaker.
With a 90 year old woman in the house, I don't get to crank it up loud so, no worries about vibrations or things falling off!
