pedalboard with built-in 3HU rack ( for tuner, compressor, basspod-pro,etc ), and built-in 9v-mains for pedals kick ass.. i'm getting one
I tried a setup like that once. A 2U rack in front of me with a foot pedal controlling the rack. I ended up kicking it over several times. Then I decided it's better to put the expensive stuff behind me, on top of my cabs, like everyone else. But it looks cool, even better that mine. If that thing works for you, just get one!
