A bit of an update, still playing around with final configuration as well as adding in my Boss PH-2. I built a gormboard this past weekend for $5 after splitting the two pack of the shelf with my friend and invested in a Ditto, Bass Chorus (retains the lowend of the mastotron and algal) and Pitchblack Poly. Pretty happy with everything. New job=new gear. Hooray for a new career! [/url]

Super hard on goes after the demo tape fuzz (needed to use weird wiring to get everything to fit neatly on here) so it just makes it go HUGE The more I play though the more I think sometimes of just swapping it out for my fuzzrite clone
EDIT: Another fuzz overloads the preamp in the belle epoch and just makes it sound like farts (good for some)

I always liked the Demo after spacious fx like Reverb or Delay. Maybe if you go 'Rite > Epoche > Demo?
Hmm. Since there are a lot of similarities in our boards I now have to rethink my own routing. Damn you.
Why do you have the RRR and the Chikin? What settings do you use the RRR for? I love the sound of the Chicken, but sometimes I miss headroom. It overloads if I push it too far. Maybe move it to the front and somehow shoehorn the RRR into the end...
Ok so my board is based around the Jamman because I use it a lot, the problem with the Jamman is that it clips like a bitch all the time. Any time it gets a little volume it distorts and its a really digital distortion pretty gross. As such I run a stereo board sort of... I play kind of like a surfy Ty Segall/The Drums thing so huge gaze tones aren't really needed I need snap and stuff. I start off with the AD4096 which splits into two lines, one goes to the Jamman and then straight out to the RRR. That's like a clean line and I can adjust volume on the Jamman so it doesn't clip and then boost it with the RRR so it sounds right with the other line. The other side of the AD4096 goes through demo tape fuzz then super hard on then belle epoch then Spring chicken. I mainly use the plates on the RRR and the spring chicken with the dwell about midway. The AD4096, RRR and Spring Chicken are always on and the reverb on my Fender Twin is about 6 or 7, so it's always pretty wet. I use the demo tape fuzz as my dirt and boost that with the super hard on when I need the volume boost.
So yeah unfortunately with the Jamman, my hands are tied for most things but this way it often sounds like I'm playing a bunch of guitars at once both looped and through stereo lines that are using non synced time based effects, it's pretty cool
Phantasmagoric, RRR has the best hall sounds ever, super natural sounding and sits perfect in any mix. It's a great complement to more "effecty" reverbs. And it doesn't do spring.

That’s quarter-assed at best.

in my mind, that sounds just as epic as your board looks
