Here is my board. Built it some time ago after seeing another TBer's design based off a case.

Nice board. Simple and clean with everything out of the way. I did a similar thing with mine, but I like the way you built yours into a case.

I put my little homemade pegboard with the four pedals in my
sig on a monitor stand. This way the wireless reciever has a
better chance of getting the signal. And since I just turn my
pedals on at the beginning of a set, and mute with the tuner
at the end of the set, I don't need to step on any of them ever.
Which is probably a good thing with the plastic Behringer pedals.

It's been working out really well for me. I'll try and get a couple
of pics up soon. I can't do it from home, I'll have to see if I
can upload them at work.

As far as the case goes, I can tell he built the board himself,
but did he really build the metal case complete with latches?

Digitech BSW->Demeter Compulator->EH English Muff'n->Boss TU2. All of this is in a single true-bypass loop.

I have a EH Little Big Muff on the way to me that will get squeezed in there as a second option for dirt. The TU2 will disappear when I go back to using my rig with a Korg rack tuner.

I know alot of people say they are done with their board. But I really am (well unless I some how get about $1000 for that amazing toneczar delay in a recent thread) But after about 2 years of work, I am seriously happy with my pedalboard.

Everything on the board functions the way I need it to, nothing there is useless, everything is in a good location to be used. I have my distortions set up just perfectly, I have enough ambience and delay to cover any needs, I can loop, I can make swells, I have random noise generations, volume control, and I can even match levels on different basses to get an even sound out of different instruments.

I am truely happy with my board.

When I have a chance I'll try to record some sound samples for my distortion set ups, since it isn't as straightforward as it looks.

Hey RON. I just ordered a beautiful disaster. Have you got all your pedals in the Feedback loop?

Maybe you or some else could tell me how I should set up my pedals then.

I now have:
BOSS LMB-3 Limiter (soon to be replaced by PUNCH FACTORY)
DOD Gonkulator Ring Mod/Dist.
EHX Tube Zipper Dist./Env. Filter
BOSS ODB-3 overdrive (soon to be replaced by MXR Blowtorch)
BOSS HM-2 fuzz (soon to be replaced by Gallien Krueger Diesel Dawg)
BOSS PS-5 Pitch shifter
EHX Bass Micro Synthesizer
Line 6 Echo Park DLY
Digitech Turbo Flange
Tech 21 prog. Sansamp

I have everything except the Boost, Wah, and Tuner in the feedback loop. I keep the loop on and turn the feedback on and off when I need it.

If those were my pedals I would set them up as following (but the best is usually to experiment to see what sounds best).

Boss LMB-3 > Tech 21 > TBD > Amp. Now in the feedback loop of the TBD I would set up as follows PS-5 > EHX Micro Synth > EHX Tube Zip > ODB-3 > HM-2 > Turbo Flange > Ring Mod > Echo Park.

Ok now as to why? The LMB and Tech 21 are more of natural sound/preamp pedals (usually) So I would keep those out of the feedback look since they wouldn't effect it much anyways. Inside the loop putting Pitch altering effects before distortion works best since the distortion helps hide the digital sound of the fake note. I personally like a synth and wah/filter's before distortion because then you can add more gain onto them. The Distortion section I always set up in increasing gain order so you can layer multiple pedals ontop of eachother without decreasing your output/gain. Modulation is a matter of taste for some people, personally like like flanger and chorus post distortion and phasers before. See what sounds best for you. Delay goes last because then you can delay everything, and if you use it for looping you also loop the effects.

I appologize if you were just looking for how to set them up in the loop, I kinda got carried away talking about stuff.

(on a side note I picked up a PS-5 and Turbo Flange recently. I havn't had full experiance with them yet, but so far its been fun).
