Thanks! Your is nice too, but i would avoid involving so many metal in making my case - it already is heavy, and i am building second...however, your rig tells me that you have van, so you don`t have to pull your back while taking it somewhere

Ha! No van, I'm afraid. Luckily, I don't have to cart the stuff myself very often!
The board itself is very light. (I haven't weighed the loaded board yet, but it feels about 30-35 lbs to me). It's less than 20 lbs w/o pedals. Showcase is using a lexan honeycomb (instead of plywood) on their smaller cases now. It's about 1/2 the weight of wood & stronger. The frame case extrusions are aluminum with steel corners. It's surprisingly light! Lighter than my old plywood case, anyway.
Too tired from traveling to go out and too bored to do nothing so I finally wired up my PT-Mini. Plan on gigging it tomorrow before I take off to Chicago. Traveling for work sounds like fun in the abstract - and it has it's moments - but by and large it sucks.
Anyway, here's the board:

Jared, I just put this together the other day.I might get a pt1 for this one. I pretty much got the haz mutron for free and it sounds fantastic!

pt-1 would be an overkill. a jr would be enough

SG, how close does the Regulator sound to the Mu-Tron III+ ? Also, how much smaller is it? Half as big? I love my III+, but I could possibly squeeze another pedal on my board if I switched...
Sooo many questions. I'm sorry.
I've been a busy bee today!
I had to strip my guitar pedalboard down today, so i tried some of the pedals on bass while i was at it! Now im excited about getting my bass board together!
Pedal family shot (more pedals on the way!)
Playing around with Pedals for bass:
i found the CS3 and the dealy worked really well!
&& finally, Guitar pedalboard shot:
Any questions, comments, death threats etc, just ask
Cheers

heres the board from the first leg of my bands first tour (so hype
). I'm going to loose the Morley wah and the gyroscope soon, and maybe even the Rust Ride once my Battering Ram gets here. The morley and gyroscope sound GREAT, but the morley just doesn't cut through the mix (any suggestions? 
) and the gyroscope just isn't used enough.The chain is:
EB VP JR-> Rust Ride-> EHX BBM-> LS-2 (morley in the loop)-> RV-3 -> MXR Phase 90 (EVH mod) -> Korg Pitchblack+ -> Augilar Tonehamer
Sweet. This looks like it covers a ton of ground.Anyway, here's the board:
Last night I tore apart my small board, and built a large one. This morning I stared at it and thought "I don't need all this crap" and have since taken off enough pedals from it that it has little more than my small board did. I think I have hit the proverbial pedal wall.

What up scotch. Like the new board by the way. The mutron is about twice the size. The 3 leaf, to me has a tad more low end. They both actually sound good together. I feel the mutron has more quack to it and is more responsive to the way I like to play. I give em a tie. The og mutron would probably win though, apparently.

Nice. I can dig it. Octaver, Fuzz, Filter and Phaser - those are basically the funk essentials maybe a manual wah or synth too. And if my board was solely for funk I'd swap out the Turbo Rat for a fuzz but for this band I need the tones it provides.
This is my funk/rock board and what I gig with for my RHCP cover band. In that sense the only essentials are the tuner, filter (for a number of songs) and Rat (it's perfect for Around the World and By The Way). But my drummer loves me having an octaver for jams and I'm still a hopeless phaser addict. Of course, the Wounded Paw made the grade because I realized that the other four pedals were black and it would be a cool to have a Stealth board.
I hit the pedal wall last month. I bought the PT Mini for this band and have been playing sans pedals in the others. The end result is that of course I don't need pedals for the vast majority of things I do but I enjoy them so why not have a giant board full of useless but fun things. New big board shot coming after I get a little something from Mario.
I've only tried the Haz a couple times but this sounds about right to me. I've also said that if the Haz filter had a different name then more people would dig it and it only gets negative comments because it doesn't sound exactly like the original, but I digress.
The original MuTron and the Groove Regulator are in the same ballpark, but the MuTron has a lot more resonance, and of course bigger volume spikes to go with it. And while I'm unsure how much of this IS the tone of the MuTron and how much of it is the fact that by the time I played them they were 30 or so year old pedals, but the MuTron has the dirty, greasy squelchiness to them where the GR is much cleaner sounding.
