Inspired by wanting to make a combo with a curve shape. So I used the 1590TRPB and TRPC and joined 7 together with lamp hardware which provides a conduit for wiring between enclosures as well. On the exterior I used grinding disks to make the swirl pattern, protected with clear and then waterslide labels and more clear-coat. Colored knobs help show the way. Because I’m thoroughly addicted and don’t know how to stop I have an entire pedal board in a single pedal. It is entirely comprised of Barry’s GPCB boards from
http://www.guitarpcb.com/ and goes like this:
A single 9v source powers all. PUTB (Tonebender) with optional Emerald Ring (Octave Up) > switchable WAH loop using a Buff N Blend with optional Stage 3 adder for phase inversion > Silent Tuner > Julius (Compressor) with sustain mod> Overdrive circuit (explained below) > Order Switcher for Dr. Phybes (Phaser) and Distortion Circuit (explained below) > Tone TwEQ > Paramix > Mini Me chorus > EA Tremolo without kill> D’Lay with Tap Tempo > adjustable Emexar boost > out to amp. Everything is bypassable except the Tone TwEQ and the Paramix. A total of 31 boards used.
The overdrive circuit is a combo itself which is comprised of a selection of either the Blues Buster or the Zenith. An After Blaster on a toggle and level wired to the exterior is used as the bypass. A 2 Knob job is used as the selector to select which OD will be used. Together this is basically an either or or none with a boost. When bypassed the bypass switch is lit, when a circuit is active the bypass LED goes out and a colored LED lights to show which OD is active and the After Blast level knob glows. I forgot to provide a way to select clipping options for the BB but it can be selected on the board with pin headers and jumper.
The distortion circuit is a combo also which is comprised of a selection of either the Red Special or the Plexi Plus. An After Blaster on a toggle and level wired to the exterior is used as the bypass. A 2 Knob job is used as the selector to select which dist will be used. When bypassed the bypass switch is lit, when a circuit is active the bypass LED goes out and a colored LED lights to show which one is active and the After Blast level knob glows.
The Dr. Phybes is on a Buff N Blend with a Stage 3. This allows how much wet phaser will blend into the mix. The order switch, mounted on the base of a LB with a light plate attached, allows for placing the phaser before or after the distortion. An LED lights to let you know which sequence is selected. The phaser rate pulses from a glow plate below the order switch.
The Tap Tempo utilizes the tempo scale switch. The set tempo and scaled tempo each flash separately using the lightable pots and clear knobs. A few of the TT options were not used.
The loop circuits are over the top. There is an opportunity for a loop or insertion point at the beginning with the bypassable WAH loop built into a LB enclosure. The Paramix has the send and return and insert out and insert in options. Its controls and phase switch are built into a LB enclosure and top mounted with the tremolo 3D style. This is set after the dirt and before the modulation. The chorus also has a switchable loop for some crazy options and the D’lay has a switchable loop as well. So there are many opportunities to go nuts with loops and insertions and blends of anything, just about anywhere.
