We wired a pedalboard for a guitarist named Adam (photos below).  Unlike a lot of our custom builds, this one did not have an RJM PBC on it, instead, at the heart is a Disaster Area DPC8EZ (An 8 Loop true-bypass looper with basic programibility). 

This simpler approach was exactly what Adam needed for his board as he didn't need to go too crazy with midi programming, in fact, he's not using midi at all! Instead, he's using the 8EZ to create loop-presets and to have instant access to the pedals in his 8EZ loops. 

With this approach, Adam can now hit one button on the 8EZ and turn on / off a predetermined combination of loops OR he can just hit 1 button and turn that specific loop on or off depending on the mode he is using on the 8EZ.  If this is what you want to do (and a little bit more if it catches your eye) this is a great looper to consider.

Let's get into Adams signal chain and his board specifics. 

Adam starts by plugging his guitar into... 

Earthquaker Devices Cloven Hoof Fuzz
 
Disaster Area 8EZ Input 
     1. Keeley Synth-1 --> EHX Attack Decay 
     2. Old Blood Noise Endeavours Processions Reverb 
     3. JHS 3 Series Compressor

     5. Fulltone Fulldrive 3
     INSERT - Ernie Ball Jr. Volume 
     6. Wampler Terraform 
     7. Gamechanger Audio Plus Pedal --> FX Send of Plus Pedal to Boss TR2 Tremolo --> Beetronics Swarm Fuzz --> FX return 
     8. OBNE Minim

The extra little footswitch by the Plus Pedal is a Wet/Dry switch which controls the Plus Pedal. 

Power: 2x Voodoo Labs Pedal Power 2+ 

This is a great board that took shape rather quickly in the shop and as always, we worked closely with Adam on the layout, signal chain and then custom making all the cables, including DC to bring this board together.  All that is missing is a big red bow.
