. that's an awesome board man!
Here's mine. The black thing with two switches on it, which was used to turn the FX on our PA off/on has been replaced with a vocal harmonizer, but I haven't taken any new pics since I did that. All the pedals are screwed down to the board with bicycle chain links. My wireless unit and power brick are under the shelf. My mic stand is built into the front to save the tripod space on stage, and I have a clock on it to track set length and break/end times.
Got my band's logo and J cross on the front:
Got a hole for the power cord, the 1/4" output to my rig, and a hole for the XLR output of the VTD (if I ever need it, as I use the line out on my LMII most of the time) all on the left side of it, because I stand stage left, so all the cords run on the side of the stage so they don't get stepped on.

heres what used to by my "OCD-board". Not an inch of free space was left spared:
ended up being too heavy and unusable, I went to a pt-jr after that...

I'll have to get a picture of mine. When setting my board up, it took me several minutes to get each pedal on perfectly. ****, I even used a measuring tape to ensure there was roughly the same amount of space above and below the pedal. The pedals are perfectly aligned. All the wiring goes underneath and I tied it up with black thread. When I lift it up, the only thing hanging down is the end of the daisy chain that plugs into the 1-Spot.
Yeah.

I couldn't quite fit my compressor on the pedalboard, but it does exactly what I want. Since I just rebuilt it last night, it's still in a state of disarray and I can't bring myself to show you the underside until it's zip-tied and spiffy.

Whoa, you ain't kidding. That's ten pounds of sausage on a five-pound board!
A+ for use of space and planning, though. I don't think I've ever seen three pedals with full-size treadles on one board, before...
I used a set of 12VAC 12" cold cathodes with an inverter and a set of 12VDC LEDs both purchased from Oznium.com
Of course, since pedalboard power supplies are typically 9VDC, you'll need a separate power supply.
The cathodes require approx. 700mA, whereas the Tri-Chip LEDs only consume about 70mA per. The LEDs are newer and brighter.

That's a big board for sure but there are lots of great, great pedals on there. In fact lot of my favorite pedals are gathered here. It would give me some pause to have to drive such a board in live settings but for tone research that's a amazing collection of great stompboxes.
Love the neat job fitting everyting in too. Lot's of work went in this.
My tidy board. It was cleaner until I decided to stick my giant VP "jr" on there. Cables are pretty neat underneath too.
Nice board. What's on bottom row, far left?
Dress right - dress! Any prior service here?
Of course this board has no practical application, it is used for teaching, training, demonstration, but it certainly is OCD. 30 years in the Army, I can't help myself....
Will send a better pic when it is wired, if I can ever figure the signal path.
Go ahead Behringer haters, start ripping, lol.
