Thanks man! The amount of room is deceptive. Waiting on my Ring Stinger and wanna put a Meatball up top too. On the bottom I'd like another delay, like an AD4096 with two reverbs, maybe Ghost Echos or mini-reverberators above the delays. SO, with a fuck going in the bottom I need to make some decesionz about what fuzz/drive stuff I can fit. Mini, monarch, TAFM, super puzzle, or sparkle motion? Time will tell. The board is an IKEA GORM, forget the exact dimension. Gonna add side to give enough room for the 4 Lovetones and angle the whole board up a few degrees.

I've been reading a year's worth of user testimonials on the El Capistan; how it can do a *convincing DMM* (whatever that means) but have yet to get my hands on one to try busting the myth...as to say I'm skeptical is an understatement.
It's a pedal that truly embodies the phrase "all electronics are not created equal" and while any dmm's power supply/chip combination is capable of getting you there, some just have that extra something which makes them conspicuously special. I don't understand how modelers can recreate that.
I had a conversation with skullservant after I sold him my first DMM, he instantly sold his el capistan. Strymon has never grabbed me, just isn't my style. Too many options and modes that always keep me from making music, I work better with one mode, dial in a setting for the day and forget it pedals

Those old EHX pedals all varied in sound. The chip sets they used were the same, but somehow the end product would warped along the way. You often hear of a precious Big Muff in amongst a collectors' dozen, something he'll try and replicate in a modernized variation. It never fully works. When you start comparing the same pedals, you begin to step into a world of finite detail. It's not simply a matter of replicating the sound to the best of your ability. When you delve that deep, the real thing is the only thing.

What's that black pedal with the top-mounted jacks?

deluxe pitch pirate it is and i have my organizer just behind my dl4, trem and rv3.
i actually used to run my dirt transmitter after the organizer sometimes with some pretty cool results but at band level volumes it kinda becomes a mess, depending on how much dirt you're throwing at it.
