just treated myself toa diago showman pedalboard, my old black kross one was fucked and the catches kept bursting open. only problem with the diago is the lack of split level-ness, but they make risers for individual pedals. i'll need them for the delay and reverb pedals.
trying the empress fuzz on my bass channel for a bit more grunt, will see how it sounds. i'd say it's more a distortion than a fuzz. might bin the red fulltone distortion and try an OCD there. would mean buying another, as i use my mbm one on my bass board.

ah, the bad monkey I've had for a while; took it off my old board because it weighs a ton and Velcro tends to not stick to the rubber bottom, and it would always detach and rattle around. had a dano trans overdrive in its place for ages, just fancied a change. rv600 was a poverty choice; needed reverb (selmer doesn't have any) but was skint at the time. does the job for me. the compressor is to smooth out the slight wobbliness of the octave pedal, it's a subtle thing (obviously) but it makes a difference. only thing I'm not sure of is the Empress in that chain; it might sound balls at low gain/high volume. I've tried dirt pedals in the bass channel before and they often just squash the signal too much.
I don't think it's a direct TS clone, isn't it based on the DOD Juice Box or something? For £24 there isn't any reason not to give it a go if you're curious. The tone controls are definitely more useful than those on a TS.
Redone the pedalboard from being mostly dirt (don't really need pedals for OD anymore) to a more Jane's Addictioney type thing. Might yet pull the dank fuzz and the grumbly wolf and add something else in, maybe the salt booster.
