Yes you could. But make sure the velcro can stick to the carpet you'll be using. I did almost the same thing: instead of carpet, I used industrial velcro and sticked it to the board. The problem is when you want to change the order of the pedals, sometimes, the velcro doesn't fit right under anymore!!

Rayzak - Let the TU2 run on a battery. It doesn't use much juice unless you have the tuner running all the time (bypass mode). Power the other 5 with a One Spot.

The right kind of carpet will work okay, but Veltex (loop-side Velcro fabric) works better. I was able to buy 1 yard of it online for about $20.

What adapter is huge? The Boss adapter?
I love the idea of the one spot into the TU-2 and the Boss cables to power the rest, but would it be worth spending the $$$ on both of these adapters or would I be better off with the Brick... or another option.
What i'm looking for(aren't we all
) is the easiest, tidyest way possible to power my pedals. I just want to be able to grab the board, plug it in, and be ready to rock n roll.FWIW, i'm really diggin' these pedals. Still experimenting with the Emma, but I think i'm gonna like it!!! *i'm new to the whole filter game*.
The Hematoma is probably my favorite pedal. I like using it for more mild grind than full out distortion... the LBM is great for that.
The Analogman is definetly the most solid. All of them seem to be very well built, but the Analogman is something else. From the switch to the inputs. It's almost like there's magnets inside the inputs, when you plug in your cable, they just effortlessly slide right in and almost snap into place. Very quality product. Even though i'm new to the chorus thing too, I can tell you i'll be keeping this for a good, long time.
Thanks again for all your help.
One Spot + 2 chains acctually might work out better in the long run, as you may want to try out other pedals. Even if you don't you can just stick the 4 unused adaptors below the board. For the cost it's probably the simplist way to do things.

Until his next post, of course. Then, it all changes
I use two 1Spot chains myself, and it's worked out nicely. I just wrap up the rest, velcro them to my board, and make sure that the metal plugs don't come in contact with each other.

1/4" (inside diameter) aquarium tubing works quite well. Just cut small lengths and place over the metal ends!MysticBoo said:
updated, im trying the chorus in a different spot......as well as the tuner pedal
..all i need now is a bass balls, mini q-tron, some octaver and a synth
Finally snapped a pic of my board.
Boss TU-2 -> Sansamp BDDI -> Danelectro FAB Chorus -> Double Muff. I absolutely love the sound of the FAB Chorus, and it doesn't suck any of my low end! Also, I don't know if I'll ever play without a Sansamp again.

i like how you have the metal clip deals at both ends of the powerstrip for your extension chord. did you just buy those at a hardware store?
rayzak said:
No I meant the Ibanez adapter...
The One spot is much smaller, even the boss is smaller... And the one spot has plugs with an angle which is very conveniant when you have pedals where you have to plug them in on the side (like my BB preamp).
labgnat said:
Actually they're plastic, and it came like that. It was like $10 at Wal-Mart, and the extension chord is 15ft. Not a bad deal if you ask me.
All that's left is the VL Tremolo, and it's done. No more wahs, fuzzes, distortions, just OD -> Chorus -> Trem -> SVT (the PDDI!). And all but the chorus and PDDI will be true bypass! I did some serious "soul-searching" for this one. Listend to a lot of records. Really thought about what I wanted my bass to sound like this time.

How very Zen of you.. perhaps you need the Hermida Zen Drive to go with it?
The planet waves tuner looks nice.
Sorry, no pics. But it goes (fx loop): EHX Bass Microsynth, Moog MF-101 Lowpass Filter, MF-105 Bass MuRF, Fulltone Bass overdrive, BOSS GT-6B. Sounds pretty good if i do say so myself.
tOm
p.s. the only thing I want (besides the other Moog pedals) is a Mutron.
