Build the best board you can for under $500! GO!

[zRobertez]

Okay, we all know pedals can be real expensive and that everyone wants 50+ on one board (no argument here). So this could be a fun game to play, I think. If it sucks, just tell me and I'll do this

Okay, so how bout sum rules? Under $500, not counting the board or cords or power supplies and whatnot, just the pedals. And $500 seems like a nice cap that's not too high or too low (if im wrong, lemme know plsplspls). And if you're reasonable, you can use some estimated used prices. But don't be like guh huh duh Timeline - $0.03

...

So here's mine!
Super Duper 2 in 1 clone - $75
Copilot Polypus - $125 (on an awesome sale! I had one before at $130 so that's close enough )
Seymour Duncan Deja Vu Delay - $100 (easy ebayzzz and they were like $250 new #bargainshopper)
Earthquaker Ghost Echo - $100 (dat ebay all the time)
And then either an MXR M-117r Flanger (I got mine for $100!) or a Mooer Pure Octave (for the delay's fx loop) ooh! Or a Boss CE-2, I dig those - $100 to hard to choose between them right noaw

It's harder than you think! Good luck!
...man I wish I had $500 right now. My board is going through a "transition phase" ehhhhh
Ps-sorry I pick no fuzz, an octave fuzz would prolly be next in line.

RRR->algal bloom->disaster transport and I would be set!

[The4455]

Ten Ds-1's, is that even a question?

But for real, some guy the other day asked me how much my whole board cost, and that's when I realized how much I spend on gear.

[Mudfuzz]

my main fuzz and OD together are already over budget...

me too

[D.o.S.]

I don't think I could build a board that I'd actually use that'd cost more than $500.

[Officer Bukowski]

Lol my board is like under $200 and then the (four) pedals that are sitting around in my room are like $875 wtf

[MEC]

Megalith ($225)>Mini ($125)>Nimbus($150)

Or...This!

[theavondon]

Ghost Bender MKI ($200)+Dr. Sci Elements ($225)+Behringer VM1 ($60)

This is, of course, buying brand new, which I rarely do. Also, this displays my belief of "Cheap dirt is crap, but all delay is good". I have yet to use a delay I didn't like. But, I like really, really expensive fuzz for some reason. Though, I feel I'm cheating by doing the Elements, because that shit is like eight pedals in one.

[Haki]

Yeah, I'd probably go M9 and like an Elements to have versatile dirtiness or something like a mini-Fuck and Heavy Machine.

[hbombgraphics]

OC3 Black Russian Monarch RV3

I think that's close
it's hard to imagine a board without any type of pitch effects

[Officer Bukowski]

^ diggin the black Russian?

[hbombgraphics]

^ diggin the black Russian?

yeah it's a way better value than the green I have a rehoused I paid 75 for (I think)


The better answer for this one would be
Bukowski dual fuzz/gloom drive/culturejam modded holy stain/Dirge delay= That's an ILF board that would destroy the world

[devnulljp]

I'd shove a DAM Red Rooster and a Ghost Doom Bender MkI on the board and have cash left over to spend at the bar

[univalve]

Ghost dizzy, BAT Ritual, EQD disaster transport jr.
Money left for the bar too
