That's awesome, really!I love the Mel 9 Its been a permanent fixture on my rack & boards since it was released.![]()
So would this be too much fun, or too much headache?
The first con already is I have to really think about it.

My thoughts are mono, just for in front pedals, and use its midi to control switching parameters for the boxes.Will the loop switcher pass stereo or full mono?
I need to be less of a midiot and use it more.
I don't love the idea of a lot of midi switching for guitar, but I do see the value in not a bunch of pedal dancing. I just dread the programming part.I have an issue with irrational avoidance of midi, so I guess that means I am also a midiot! Glad to know the official label now!
That's awesome!!!
Always nice to see an old FB1 out in the wild.
Btw, how's the Wampler Terraform? I've read good and bad reviews, some saying the effects are average at best, etc.
What's your opinion on it, regarding ease-of-use/handling and sound quality?
Great, thanks for helping me avoid the hassle of buying another shelf paperweight.It's OK. Jack of all trades but master of none. For live playing it fits a lot of horsepower in a small space. The effects sounds are pretty good for digital, but not as good as if I had 12 analog dedicated pedals on the board to cover each modulation effect. I'm satisfied with it for gigs, but I won't record with it.
It seemed fairly easy and straightforward to use to me.
Hope that helps.

Am I reading this right that you're plan is to put the VP4 on the bottom of this board?!?!?View attachment 57328
Gotta Christmas gift card board coming in. Will fit the power supply underneath it (as well as the VP4 (again) in 4cm) to handle pitch shifting and some extra boosting up front as needed and plex and rotary in the loop. And maybe slide me down the AM4 combo rabbit hole when the time comes. The FAS VC is the boss \m/
The ToneLok delay is awesome and the CF7 on normal mode on both the flanger and chorus side but the wack'd mode chorus is STUPID. I can see why it's a Borland staple![]()
YesAm I reading this right that you're plan is to put the VP4 on the bottom of this board?!?!?

Oh, okay. I Gotchoo now. This is all fine and very reasonable. I thought you were sticking with this board and mounting the PS and VP4 on the bottom of it. Carry on.Yes![]()
I have a gift card pedalboard coming. The VP4 will join these pedals on that new board. I have been using the FM3 pitch block and it's much better than the Boss or Drop options.
That's where I'm at this exact moment at least![]()
You and I watched the same "You won't believe how easy cable management can be" YouTube video, I see


(also, mood AND blooper on same board is a bold choice of which I approve!)Yeah I will probably swap out a few pedals before the sun sets tonight, so I gave up trying to neatly arrange anything. This was also me realizing I could arrange my Pedal Train Metro 20 and Nano and my two power supplies to have more power taps at a time.

The Ibanez EQ, "Mews" Driver, and BF2 are the most recent acquisitions.
The Ibanez EQ is a great Mesa 5 Band stand in, pretty powerful pedal actually for all kinds of tone shaping.
The Mews Driver is fantastic as well. You can see the Andy Timmons force runs strong on this board - I got the BD2 not long ago as well but this does all that and a bag of chips.
The BF2 is analog yumminess - it's a nice change from Phase/Vibe that I usually use.
