Did I mention wine was involved? along with the selection of the very puny power supply I just had to update...

Nice! Dibs on the RV-7 :thumbup: I have one already but rate them so much it would be cool to have another on a different setting to flip between...lush

Tonight,I went to my office for a noodle and realised I'd left the lead that powers my board at band practice. Oh well, nothing to do except go straight into amp.
In doing so, it brought it home how much tone suck there is when all pedals are in series, rather than in parallel. So that got me thinking about parallel switchers. How have you got the es5 set up? Are the analogue pedals in the loops, with the digital FX in series or........

Usually in the ES5 there is just my drive stages and Flint. The Iridium is just there tonight for photography purposes. The ES-5 output goes to Volante - Nightsky - MD-500 (tonight replaced with DIG) - RC-30 - amps.

Tone suck is a thing with long cable runs. Notably brighter signal running through the ES-5 with the pedals bypassed, compared to running a chain of true-bypass pedals in series.

But to be honest, a buffered bypass or two along the way gets you most of that sound back. I think the loop switcher is best for instantly switching multiple pedals without the need for tap-dancing.

Boss ES switchers have input and output buffers - use them both. Not the cleanest buffers in the world but will help with treble retention. Or put a buffer or buffered pedal in front of the switcher.

Noted but I have had it for about 10 years. Every so often I'll buy another reverb pedal thinking it will be the one. Only to go back to this. I still have a Hall of Fame mini around somewhere which again got swapped back, I keep it for my Princeton 5F2A clone.

This is my new board. Literally just assembled it yesterday. Still needs a little cleaning up, but sound came through the first time lol I made a custom mount that hides the power supply under the Tri Avatar and AmbiSpace, I still have the Strymons, but since I don't use all the options I figured this would be more practical.

Still waiting for the other pedal.

Looks cool, man!

Thoughts on the AmbiSpace vs Strymon alternatives? You have the BigSky right?
