Hello my fellow gear junkies. I've been lurking here for a while, but I just bought a macbook pro and it has a camera so I figured it was time I'd join the party and share my board. I have a second board on the side that's at my practice space with my tuner, expression pedals, wah, and BEF Pro w/ Hot Hand (I've been running a Kaossilator into it).
For the moment, my chain begins at a bypass loop on my second board with a Crybaby and a Boss TU2 in the loop and then travels as pictured:
Philosopher's Rock>HOG 2>[Disaster Area DPC5--MXR Classic OD, Walrus Jupiter, Micro Synth, BBE Tremor]>Superego>Small Stone>Timeline>PS5>DD6. DPC5 also controls the channels and reverb on my amp, as well as the presets and expression control on the Timeline and the HOG2.
Sometimes I run a Boss CE2 Chorus at the end of the chain on the second board to get a faux rotary effect to use with the HOG.
Sweet rig Moonsy, welcome to the madhouse!

How you liking that philosopher's rock. I'm thinking about picking one up.

Holy crap I'm an asshole and just saw this question and didn't reply.
I love it. Right now I'm using it more as a peak limiter - I have it set to only compress when I start playing too hard or forget to hit my tuner when changing instruments. I picked it because of the metering (ooooooh pretty lights~ dead serious btw), clean transparency, and wide range of controls. If you want clean peak limiting this is a great place to start.

I love it. Its more or less the foundation for my clean guitar sound. I leave it on all the time, though. It's basically a compressor, a treble/volume boost, and an overdrive if you want it to be all in one. It does't quite sound like a compressor because your clean signal is blended in with the compression slightly, but it responds like one and has a fair amount of sustain (not as much as they seem to claim, tho, IMO). If you run it at 18v, the volume boost does't distort..it just gets hotter and can get twice as loud when dimed if you want it to. Even leaving the volume at 12 o clock gives some boost. The only weird thing is the blend and treble controls that are on the Philosopher's Tone are apparently set to a sweet spot within the Rock's circuit, as is the grit, but there's a toggle switch to engage the grit. I had originally planned on getting a Tone, but I picked this up for $59 and have no regrets. From what I've read the Rock is supposed to be quieter than the Tone, even with having more sustain available. As long as you run it at 18v it sounds fantastic. It's a bit noisier and less transparent running 9v and you can't really turn the volume past 12 o clock or you'll have a bit of gain (it can be a good thing if that's what you're looking for, though)..and you have to be careful with how high you have the sustain knob, too. But at 18v, I strongly recommend it. Might even be one of my "desert island" pedals.
I just realized how long this post was. I like pedals.

More like is there a wah in that fuzz
it's a shin-ei fuzz wah I scooped up for cheap. All I had to do was replace the two footswitches and now I get a gnarly ass fuzz. The wah has a major volume drop which makes it the wah unusable in a live setting but whatever because the mid scooped fuzz this thing cranks out is to die for. These are probably my favorite two flavors of fuzz and together it is just perfect. Mudhoney was on to something.
