Looks Fantastic!!!
How is the KLON working for you? I value it as much as the HB to my surprise,
but find it works better with some BJF's than others.
Also can your swap the favourite switch from the El cap
to use with your other Strymon pedal (just wondering).?
I actually just bought an El cap from the maker of your board!!!!
2 good deeds both courtesy of Donnel in Hawaii!!!!!! :thumbup:


The Klon has been great. It's adds clarity and punch to everything. I've been using it as a solo boost and as a clean tone "enhancer". I use the FGC as an enhancer as well but the Klon works best for bluesy cleans and the FGC works best for crisp cleans. I have a feeling this board will keep me pretty satisfied from here on out. Hopefully this ends the pedal buying spree I've been on for the past several months... :lolno:

Donner has become an member of the R&D team... I put a lot of curves into his board and I think I went too far into the flight deck. We are both discussing non-velcro ideas for mounting pedals and have a few cool ideas. If we can't make the current board work without velcro, I'm heading back to the ship yard for create another battleship. As you all would expect, Don is being his regular cool self while we work this out! Here's a photo of Don's (red and yellow) and another one (blue) that has already gone out.

BTW - excellent post Bill...

Donnel...velcro-less board? Talk to me Goose, 'cause now you've got my attention. THAT'S, what I've been waiting for. :clap:

Lemme know how you iron things out with Donner's board, because if you make it so #1, I'll be ordering a large AND small board. :thumbup:

Now I'm excited! :drooling

Since donnel already popped some great pics there I wont .... but you can see my 'challenge' :wink:

I am constantly switching pedals in and out for experiments etc...

this is the Furman board I have used for the last few years,,,I would like to get the cables under the board and see how that works out....

Ive had a few ideas for alternative mounting systems and this will be a good chance to try them out ...... hopefully Ill be able to hit HomeDepot tonight :mrgreen:

Beeeautiful finish work Mr Mango !!!

So I feel like the above photos don't quite do the board justice yet... so here's one DonneL (not Donner - typo?) sent me a while back - this thing looks INCREDIBLE :angryfire
