No. This is a Brazilian company called Purple Cases. Awesome stuff.

The basic EQ is up to the QSC Touchmix 8. So I use the Empress ParaEQ to match the impedance of the K&K and make some "on the fly" adjustments (notch some bad frequencies, depending on the room I'm playing). The boost is a nice feature, also.

The Empress Compressor is kind of an always on pedal, so as the Strymon BlueSky. I just change the reverb I mainly use if I want a more ethereal sound (only in a few songs).

The Timeline (delay) and Mobius (chorus and tremolo, mainly) are used sparingly, depending on the music I'm playing.

The Empress Buffer+ is used more as a noise filter. Some places I play have a far from ideal electrical instalations. The Buffer+ help in that cases.

The Lovepedal Believe is almost never used. I'm waiting to use it with a Boss RC30, that I don't have right now.

And the Analogman King of Tone is used only to give me a low gain overdrive texture in a few musics.

The LR Baggs Session DI is used as a DI, of course, and I LOVE the saturation and compression features on it. It just enhance my overall sound.

It is really my dream pedalboard, and as soon as I record a live performance, I will post it here!

Thank you!

Wow! That's one more pedalboard. If I figured this correctly, that's about $5,000 in that set up. That's counting wiring and powering. Add your guitars and powered speakers and you are into five digits. I would be afraid to go out of my house. That is a very nice setup!

The most scary part is that I live in Brazil. Here, violence is sad, and everything costs a lot more than there in the US, since our money is not that good. (1 U$ is about 4 R$). This makes everything even more scary! Hahaha

Clever idea with the hinges for tilting the preamp!

Thanks Christian:
The Presonus Acousti-Q was an incredible discovery, the acoustic sound quality is very very hight. The valve is decisive for its naturalness. The Acousti-Q is much much better than Ultrasound DI Max and Plus, better than Headway EDB 2, much better than K & K Trinity Pro System etc. etc.
Now I'm happy, I found my ideal pre

Here's mine!

Electro-Harmonix Hum Debugger
Electro-Harmonix Platform Stereo Compressor Pedal
TC Helicon Voicetone
TC Helicon Duplicator
TC Helicon VL3
Trace Elliot Transit A
Beat Buddy
Yamaha MX Mixer

-- Fun rig. Might add a TC Helicon BodyRez pedal. I know, I know, the VL3 will do BodyRez and the Duplicator, but I think the external pedals are much easier to use! I use the VL3 basically for shaping VOX, adding harmony and playing back backing tracks.

IME the body rez is different in the VL3 (not as transparent) than the BR pedal or the VLPA

I'm building a new board for showcases where I perform with my National Resonators. The Nationals have two pickups in them, so I wanted a board that was perfect for blending the magnetic pickups (one has a Flatbucker, the other a Krivo), with the Highlander active cone pickups. What makes this different is that I'm running a volume, compressor, reverb, and delay in the insert of the Grace Felix preamp. I also have the power box for the Highlander mounted on the board, and a Tapestry Audio (Fab Suisse) distortion pedal that is used only for the magnetic pickup channel. Another great thing is that resonators typically send out a ragged signal with harsh peaks from the pickups, it's just the nature of the beast, but the MXR bass compressor really helps to tone those peaks down and keep the signal balanced. After quite the time figuring out the order of things, making cables, and getting it all wired up, I finally got to audition it today. And d*mn, it sounds great. Having the Felix preamp at the core makes for great blending with powerful EQ. Everything else is icing on the cake.

Do you still like the ad10?

I used the zip ties on my Holeyboard ZigZag throughout the testing phase until I found the order where every pedal worked best, then I changed from zip ties to Godlyke Power Grip pedal mounting tape. I used a combination of zip ties and power grip for the power supply on my board (Walrus Aetos).

Hey guys, any of you use the JDI? Please post your chain setup if possible if you do.

I need to put a little goose neck light on mine to see in the dark - but book lights are not bright enough. Any suggestions?
