I've been meaning to take more pics of mine. It's kinda sloppy, but I don't care, does what I need perfectly :D

You can see glimpses in the demo videos I just uploaded (including the RRR ;) )

Mind going over how you went through the build process for the uninitiated? :D

Also, stop tempting me to run up my credit card bill. :p

Basic rundown:
Picked up a couple rubber stoppers to raise the back of the board (same one Xavier uses, coincidentally). I super-glued mine onto the stoppers there.
I decided where I wanted the PP2+ lined up (near the middle), then started cutting from the back plate till it fit flat against the flap of the upper rail. Measured and cut from the actual rail, allowing it to fit further forward. I moved mine up so the back of the PP2+ was flush with the back plate of the PT, and I would say that's the ABSOLUTE furthest you'd wanna go. Some floors it hits, other floors it barely fits, so I'd recommend not having it that far.
I also screwed in a handle on top, and I loved that decision!
I also put it in my bag backwards, so that the handle is near the handle, and not gonna bump on the ground if I put the bag down.

What#s that thing next to the muff?

That particular Flipster is already close to becoming a legend around here, also...it's been passed from owner to owner at least twice so far IIRC and (not picking on you here BTW) whenever it shows up on the current owner's board-posting, someone else asks about it. That's one of the pedals that helps reinforce my belief that there are really only a dozen of so high-end pedals in the world and we just keep passing them around amongst ourselves.

Next time it comes up for grabs, I get first dibs...

The top one is powered by a one spot, the bottom I had Xavier do the fuel tank mod w/external ac outlet so I can plug in the tonebone.

Top one is for my rock gigs, bottom was mainly designed to use with my upright, acoustic bass, and kala u-bass. Originally just wanted the tonebone and tuner, but what the heck :D

I used to have a compulator, too. Did you find it popped really badly if put after your Turbo Tuner? I had to do the same thing with placement.

Nah. My main reason for the placement is because of the placement of the power plug on the Turbo Tuner. I'd prefer to not have the DC jack sticking out of the side of the board where something can hit it and break it off in the pedal or worse.

As far as pops, my Compulator doesn't pop, nor do any of my other pedals.

Looks great! I've seen guys use two Mini's side by side vs. getting a single large board with two or more rows. The Mini form factor is great.
