Pedal Train Pro pics!

Holy carp - that's a BIG board!! Very nicely done, but I sure wouldn't want to carry that thing anywhere. 
So how many daisy chains are you runnin' there?
I want to upgrade to a PedalTrain, but the 2 is just a tad too small and the Pro is way too huge, so I'm at a crossroads here.
I guess I could just not hardwire my X2 wireless receiver on the board and I'd have room.
My NYC pedalboards carpet is getting a tad funky.
I think I have 4 at the moment. 15 the 16 pedals require power so there are a few spare power plugs tucked underneith.
Just last night I was messing with the feedback loop and discovered a setting around halfway where some really wild harmonics are being added to the signal but its not going crazy or squealing. Its almost like a wah pedal set about halfway on and left there. Its a really cool sound that I could actually see myself using. The VFB2 is a dream. My overdrives sound fantastic through it!
Hey, that Loop-Master pedal looks familiar!
I'm glad it's going to good use!
Yes its a sweet little looper. I stole one of my daughter's stickers to spruce it up a bit. The amber LED looks really cool.
Thanks again for sneding it my way!
Beautiful! I love than no pedal on that board is over $200. All these other boards piled high with $300+ pedals kind of get on my nerves . Yeah I know, I'm just jealous
, but it's refreshing to see an awesome board with pedals that are pretty affordable. Well done!

Multiply $200 by 16 and you'll get a different idea of "affordable"

Thanks. I can't get away with spending too much at once. Its taken a few years to slowly assemble the pedals one at a time. The Board itself was a lot of cash but I got a great deal on it as the roadcase had been slightly damaged in shipping to the retailer. I wanted to buy one very nice board to keep everything on.
I really appreciate everyone's feedback and kind words. My wife just doesn't get it! But she lets me have my toys so i sure can't complain.

I'm curious too... How do you power more then 8 pedals? Cause I know the Dunlop DC brick only powers up to 8.

He's using the Godlyke, I think he said.
My OneSpot could almost do that many. It puts out the juice big time!
Actually, the Brick can do 10... 7 of them at 9VDC, and 3 of them at 18VDC.
BTW, Crabby... if you swapped out those two giants on the upper-right side of your board for a Micro Q-Tron and Nano Bassballs, you could probably fit another pedal

That is true! But the Mini Q Tron is for sure a keeper! The upcoming new EHX XO stuff is making me drool with anticipation!
I could see maybe the BF2 coming off the board as I dont use it very much. Other than that, its hard to think of replacing anything.
I have some bad GAS for a Bass Microsynth, some sort of octave pedal and more filters!
We need pics of underneath, as to how to do a tidy board setup!
I will take one in the next few days. But basically I just stuck pieces of velcro here and there to the board and then used the opposing piece of velcro to secure wires all over underneith the board.
Because the board is black, the velcro is black and most of the wires are black, it looks really clean and nothing is actually hanging down loose.
My goal was to make sure that no power wires or cables would get pulled out when moving the board around.
velcro is your friend!

yeah now that I'm looking more closely I see what you're doing as far as securing cables on top.
I'll probably do that or get some electrical tape and mini cable ties and be set.
I just took some velcro and cut little tie down strips and then peeled off the sticky paper and stuck the two matching strips together so that they are all black on both sides and can be used to stick to the smooth or rough side of whatever surface you need. They work well for keeping cables tied down and secure.
