the memory boy probably doesn't need to be there, although if you whack the blend up full you can approximate the sound of a sperm whale swallowing a threshing machine at 150 fathoms (which is nice).

this does basically everything i need.
the "spares".
i usually have at least one of these slotted between the big muff and the marshall reflector on my main board. can't bring myself to sell any of them though. i much prefer to trade pedals.
looks good reece. nice to have a few things on standby if you need different sounds. i keep thinking of getting a DD-3 again, it was a great around delay, plus i could fit it in my boss pedalboard.

i got one in trade from chisa a while back. then last tuesday, my band's keyboard player gave me a boss pedalboard containing a turbo overdrive and another CE-3.
middle one is chisa's, left one is my keyboard players.
one thing i need to find is a new set of the thin patch cables for the boss board, my venoms won't fit nor the cheap ones i have lying around. doubt george L's will fit either. boss's newer pedalboard have more space in between pedals, so you can use normal patch leads. this older one is very tight, newer boss pedals don't fit as well. my TU-2 keeps moving around, whereas the CE-3 and OD-2 fit nice and stable.

like this, but the ones i've got have a bigger bit in the middle:
haha
no, i think i know what you mean. that might be worth a shot, though i'd have to measure the gap in between.
it'll be great if i can, it's quite a nice board for home use/band practice. then i can leave one board in gig readiness and one quick and easy mess around.
edit:was replying whilst you we're editing your post, so my post looses some context.

i haven't really used it all that much to be honest, it was on my main board for a while but i tended to use the cool cat fuzz more because it has a good bottom end.
with the setup pictured above i can get the dry velcro-ey sounds from the TGD but still get the horrible screams from the FF. best of both worlds. i've been trying to figure out a way of incorporating these into my rig but it'd probably involve a seperate board engaged by a bypass loop or something, and i have too many buttons to step on as it is...
we're off to the studio to do some recording at the end of the week though, i'll definitely be taking these with me.
