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

[Big Mon]

This is too easy

Used Arc Flash-75-90.00. OD, Dist., and Fuzz
used Phantom Octave-eh, gonna say about 70.00
DOD fx25 used-these have gone up a bit on the used market, but 60.00 sounds right
Used Digitech Hardwire DL-8-100.00
Rocktek Chorus-Mine cost 15.00 and it's BBD, analog yumminess
Used EHX Holy Grail-60.00
105.00 under budget/ quarter of dat dank for inspiration.

[The4455]

Dunlop Rotovibe: $120
Ibanez weeping demon Jr. Wah: $80
EHX Big Muff: $80
Delta Labs Digital Delay: $50
EHX Nano Holy Grail: $120
EHX Nano LPB: $40

And with $10 to spare.

To me you can create more interesting, varied, and applicable tones with time based and modulation pedals as apposed to a board of all Fuzz or Distortion pedals. Especially to the common listener, the difference between a fuzz face and a big muff perhaps will be lost, but the difference between a big muff and delay+ rotovibe+reverb is one that you cannot miss.

Hrmm, well I would miss a looper and volume pedal, but:

Green Muff 200
Used Bf-2 50
Used SMMH 150
Used RV-3 100


M9 is really tempting to work into this equation though...

[Ghost Hip]

LED mod MXR Dist. + - $50
ss/bs TAFM - $175
Malekko 616 - $150
Spend the rest on a used EQD Ghost Echo.

Green Muff 200
Used Bf-2 50
Used SMMH 150
Used RV-3 100

I like this. I'd prolly change the muff for a cheaper version and add a filter of some sort, but yeah. Good!

MXR Phase 90 -> MXR Dist+ -> DD7 -> RV-5

Way Huge Swollen Pickle Mk II $130

ElCap ($300), 2 in 1 Rat+ICBM built by myself ($100), and $100 in my pocket when I meet up with Dev and Uni at the bar. First round's on me guys!

[Fuzzy Picklez]

uhhh....

DM-2
Turbo Rat
Small Stone
Algal Bloom
Digiverb

[julius_deane]

1st off, this reminded me how bullshit some new prices are compared to used, so I'll do it both ways.

Used
Verbzilla $95
AB-Synth $100-20?
Memory Boy $85
Digiverb $60
DL-8 $100
rest for a tuner

New
Crystal Dagger $245
DelayLab $230
Rest for a tuner

You're in Germany right? There might be a slight possibility my wife and I will be visiting next summer.

[Toonster]

Boss OC-2 $80
EHX Micro Bass Synthesizer $215 (I guess)
Bazz Fuss diy $30 (bit high, but it is just a guess, forgot what it cost me to build it)
DOD FX72 Bass Stereo Flanger $30
Boss RV-2 $130

$485 total, but most of these pedals can be had for cheaper.. But that is the basics of what I use on my bass board in my bands..

[bigchiefbc]

Behringer BSY-600 - $45
Tone Machine clone - let's say $80 from whichever builder
EHX Flanger Hoax - $110 (that's how much I got mine for used)
EHX Deluxe Memory Boy - $125 (about what I could get it for used)
older full size EHX Bass Micro Synth - $140 (that would be a decent used price)

= $500 exactly

Boom

[julius_deane]

EHX Micro Synth is a good call for this challenge.
