pedals on board, rough draft

YES WE CAN!

The Teese RMC3 wah is running off a power jack on the right side. Guitar into wah, wah into board.

Not using the first switch yet. It will be switching the Radial Tonebone as soon as I get it back from repair.

The tuner is running off a dedicated tuner out, no input back into the chain. To put tuner in chain for buffering or mute-while-tune, plug guitar into tuner and tuner into board's main input.

The first four loops are my overdrives/distortions. Yeah I want to mess w/ the knobs here and there but mostly these are either on or off so are good for being individually remote controlled. Everything from tubes to mods so it's nice to have them all isolated and on their own isolated regulated power source when need be.

1 - OLC Eclipse
2 - Fulltone OCD
3 - modded boss MT-2 Metal Zone
4 - Big muff + MXR noise gate

5 - goes through the Pod XT. This allows a post-distortion wah, various other distortions and effects, volume pedal, etc.

6 - unused at this point but used to experiment with stuff in or out of the effects loop.

7 - the final loop. The Line 6 DL4 delay, Boss QE-1 equalizer, and Line 6 Verbzilla reverb are all on this loop. These pedals all at the front of the board since so much is on one loop that is all really going to be used individually. You have to be able to reach the buttons on the DL4 for instance, it has a looping sampler and all kinds of crazy stuff you want to be able to control. I want to turn the EQ on and off all the time no matter what is going on w/ the rest of the loops, same w/ the Verbzilla. Sometimes you want to spank the front of the amp w/ reverb so I leave the Verbzilla at the end of the main pedal chain, but leave the T-Rex RoomMate reverb in the effects loop. Mostly for the V3 which is the only amp I have that doesn't have reverb but does have an effects loop. All my other amps that don't have reverb also don't have an effects loop so there ya go.

Of course it's going to end up absurd to have all this stuff on a loop and I'll end up with some gizmo pedal being after the main output of the board, the FREE NINTH loop! 8-)
