It's a secondary looping-only pedalboard for a folk/electronic project. The signal hits my ABY and A goes to the Keymaster.
In loop 1 of the Keymaster is a small Mackie mixer with 4 inputs. The first is my guitar, with highs dimmed and lows boosted, for when I use my baritone or Whammy Oct -1. Second input is a microphone. Third input is a banjo and the fourth is a wildcard, but most often an SP-404 Sampler. The mixer output (mono) then goes back into the Keymaster to close the loop.
In loop 2 of the Keymaster is a Boss RC-3 loaded with sampled sounds (ambient, motifs, etc) into a killswitch (I'll explain) into a Freeze into an M9 then back to the Keymaster. The idea with this loop is padding. I can use the RC-3 samples to create pads and use the M9 to manipulate them OR I can create a pad with the Freeze and manipulate that. The killswitch means I can keep the loop open and the pad going without having my guitar signal run through the M9 and be affected. I might switch the order of the RC/killswitch now that I think about it...
The Keymaster then goes out into the right input of another RC-3 (used for looping) then the right input of the Boomerang III then the A input of the Voodoo Lab Amp Selector which splits to a SF modded Super Reverb and an Ampeg Micro VR 2x10 bass amp.
The B of the ABY goes into the left input of the looping RC-3 then the left input of the Boomerang III then the B input of the Voodoo Lab Amp Selector which splits to a Dr. Z Maz 38 with 2x10 cab and an Orange OR15 with 2x12 cab.
I think that explains it all?
