Pedaltrain MINIs unite!

Works good for me, as mostly I use only one at a time. Since I got my Mesa Walkabout, I use the VT as an occasional overdrive, as opposed to the "always on" I used to use with my LM2. So, I'm pleased for now.
But funny you mentioned that, as I used to run my BDDI first and if I were to use the VT as an always on, I'd probably switch them. And I'm always changing things around, so the board is likely to change again in the near future to rotate some other toys in or out.
Just waiting on some patch cables and I'll be done! My first board! I'll probably mod the PT-Mini so the FT power cord isn't running up on an angle, but otherwise it's complete!

I'm tempted to sell my PP2+, get a FTjr, and Bart mod the mini, once I finally settle on pedals. TAW is on the chopping block, Supercollider and Zcat Hold are on the way...this is nuts 
But I'm just posting this because I think it's DAMN SEXY!
@electricimprov..
Do you plug the Holy Fire in separate?

Nicely done mini-board. Would mount the FT Jr under the unit so I'd have more room for some additional MXR micro's like chorus, flanger, etc. or Phase 45.
Here's my Pedaltraini Mini -
Signal flow is as you see. All powered by a Diago power supply which fits nicely in the 'gutter' at the back of the board, behind the Micro POG.
I'm totally happy with this board. Although if I start playing in a balls-out rock band again I'll probably replace the Bottom Feeder with some kind of overdrive. Since I last posted here I've upgraded my tuner from a Boss TU-2 to a Pitchblack, and my comp from a Aphex Punch Factory to a EBS Multicomp. Very happy with both upgrades.
A few little quirks about this board are that I've used aluminum tape to mark my settings on the VT, and will soon do the same to the other pedals once I'm set on my sound.
I often get asked about my pedal connectors, which are the EBS Asymetric connectors, I find they take less space and create less mess than cables.
And I also use LED booklights to illuminate my board, clipped onto the back of the board... (before anyone asks, I got them from a little bookshop in my home town, similar designs should be easy to find from most bookshops these days!)
Which means that this is as close as you are going to get to the obligatory 'night shot'....

I'm just used to it, for a long time I simply ran Tuner > Compressor > Sansamp, so now it feels a bit strange having at the start of the chain. I don't find any tracking issues having it there.

Yeah, no problems anywhere, mine's know to float around. Used to keep it before the Hazarai and BDDI, but now I just put it where it fits (wait til you see where it goes if I get the last pedal I want)
There is info over on TheGearPage. Somewhere in this thread:

I don't have time to look for the exact page, but at least this is the right trail.
...which explains why I couldn't find it here.
It'll do...thanks!
I don't have a pedaltrain (or any proper pedalboard actually). I just wanted to say this threadtitle sounds like you can get your pedaltrains together to form giant, atomic laser wielding, planetdevouring robots.
If that is in fact the case, I will be purchasing one.

I posted this on the "big" thread, but thought I should include it here as well.
What kinda cables are those?
sorry to be off topic, but whats the big attraction with the lava cables over normal patch cables anyways?
