Funnily enough, I just removed the Cali 76 from my board after a year or so of fiddling around, just to go back to my trusty big yellow box Diamond compressor. The second I put if back on the board, I said.. "finally, the sound I've been looking for". 🍁

I recently redid my board as well with a focus on fewer pedals that do more. Absolutely love OD pedals with multiple gain stages, toggle switches, etc. Also finally landed on a GFI Specular Tempus (MASSIVE shout out to Matt at Pedal Empire for his help getting me sorted on that!). My "challenge" to myself was that I have my sights set on a new Atom, so I had to limit to 7 pedals. I Marie Kondoed a couple gain stages that I liked but really were just different versions of the same thing, and honestly, it's the happiest I've been. Within a song, I have limited choice on gain stages (I generally don't like to bend down to toggle things during a song), but I can have some songs still have different gain structures. As with anything pedal (or life) related, YMMV, but thank you both so much for inspiring many of us to buy the ticket and take the ride :)

I use an EQD Swiss Things, not just for the loops and amp splitting, but for the transformer that’s on output 2. The boost circuit is pre transformer, and thus it can drive the transformer into saturation, and give that warm dynamic band pass effect that we typically associate with tubes.

You have great ears and get to use so much cool gear. My board is currently Origin Cali76 Stacked > Mythos Argo > Horrothia Teeth > Thorpy Fallout Cloud > Chase Bliss Automatone Preamp MKII > Fairfield Shallow Water > Chase Bliss Thermae > Free The Tone Future Factory > Chase Bliss CXM 1978 You guys really should try the Horrothia stuff, it’s great and it’s a British company. The Shallow Water might appeal to Dan as well.

An interesting video idea would be to have Mick and Dan with their pedal boards and cabinets in the room with them, but not the amps. In a separate room would be 6-8 different amps heads with a switcher, with their boards going into it, then out into the cabinets in the room with them. Then they can switch back and forth between the different amps without knowing which is which, and see if they can tell which amp is which, or which they like best. Could have a combination of some high end amps with some cheaper ones mixed in. Maybe Micks Two Rock and Dan’s Matchless to see if they pick those or something else. Maybe even throw a Katana head in there to see if they can identify it compared to the others.

So happy for you, Dan! And for us out here, 1:04:25 of joy and enthusiasm was just what the doctor ordered. Of course things will change on the board but that's cool too.

I felt validated when Dan put tremolo on one side only! I recently bought a Princeton to go together with JTM45, and I was wondering how running a tremolo on one amp only would sound.

It's bizarre to realise despite the complexity here, both Mick & Dan have simplified their rigs & honed in on their sound. Also this couldn't have been better timed as I am about to rebuild my board & my routing, with the wet/dry & stereo & a parallel summing incase I want to use one amp, is similar to Dan's routing here. And this has inspired me to completely rethink pedal order & how I'll be routing so cheers Dan.
