The amp is a Vox AD30VT, and this is my board:
It's not all connected up, cos i've to get a new power supply, but it's something like this: Input > Line 6 Constrictor > Digitech Whammy > ohnoho Blowing Up > eighty seven percent Issue 3.3 > eighty seven percent Issue 3.3 > Marshall Jackhammer > eighty seven percent Cannon (White Face Version) > EHX Big Muff > eighty seven percent Cannon (Red Face Version) > eighty seven percent Death Ray > eighty seven percent Snap to Grid + Behringer FX600 > Korg MiniKP > Amp
all the eighty seven percent stuff is all pedals i've built. The Issue 3.3 is a clean boost (I use 2 to go from boost > drive), and the two cannons are based on the big muff, but heavily modified, and running on germaniums. The White face version is dirtier, with 2 ge transistors, and 2 silicon ones, whereas the Red Face one is all germanium. Snap to Grid is a feedback loop.
Wow! I really like those "eighty-seven percent" pedals..do you just build these for yourself, or are you building them for sale too?

heh! thanks. I'd love to have a go at selling the pedals, but I don't really know where I'd start. To be honest, I like the way lawrence does it, where he does them in limited runs of 10 or so. I'd be tempted to do a run of 10 of the issue 3.3's over the summer.
haha well let's just say that I have a sound in my head and I don't feel bad flipping pedals in two days or day of. Why should I keep a pedal I will not use, right? Also, I'm not rich so typically if I want a new pedal I usually have to sell one to get the other. So maybe that's why?
I love my orbit but I don't use with the exp input. I use an expression pedal for the m9 and the xerograph. I've been trying to implement an expression pedal for the pitchfactor but I have not really found too much use for it. Yeah, I love my mammoth too! I use it for my basic fuzz needs.

Cheers for the compliment though!
Seriously love the graphics on your pedals. I'd buy one based on that alone.
There are some great boards here. I'm glad I'm not the only one who has a ridiculously convoluted (read: amazing) pedal setup.

Well, the oc-2 -> orbit or mammoth -> xerograph is certainly the ESSENCE of my 'sound.' I certainly wouldn't be able to play any of my bands songs if I did not have those three pedals. The mammoth is awesome. Easily, my all-time favorite fuzz (out of the fuzzes I've tried. haha) and my go to fuzz pedal for any application. The orbit is awesome for its craziness, which is what I need sometimes. I used to have a malekko d600 dark delay pedal which was the TITS. I regret selling that thing and wish I had it back. The TOANZ were the shizzz. The pitchfactor is becoming more and more used and I really can't see it leaving anytime soon. I'm always finding new ways to use it. Everything else on my pedalboard could disappear and I'd still be "pretty" happy.
