What's the signal path?
I'm glad you asked! It's not very clear from the pic, but the cables underneath are a bit all over the place:
guitar->QTron (first because then how hard you pick determines how much wah.. rather than coming after something with a buffer/compressor/etc.) ->Phase 90 ->e-lady ->OD-200 (I'm a "dirt before compression" kinda guy, a la Trey Anastasio) ->comp ->superfuzz (which I just use as an always-on boost lately) ->tuner ->El Cap ->DD-500 ->Specular Tempus ->looper -> JC-40 amp
Everything from the El Capistan onwards is stereo. The looper is actually not normally on the board since I really only use it in my bedroom, but the space was there so I put it! And lo and behold I did find myself using it once at a jam at a friend's house recently.
