Did you paint over an aphex pedal? If so, that is awesome! As I have been thinking about doing the same thing because they are so freaking damn ugly.

looks like a full re-housing job, to me (and it looks bitchin'!). probably fixed those sub-par quality jacks, too.
rockin' board, eltonsbass!

Okay, so I was going to post when my board is DONE, but seeing as how this post was a little "off track" there for a while... 
hehehe
Okay, here's what I've got so far:
I've got some serious GAS for a Tonefactor Analogue 442 Red/Copperhead and plan on adding one or both soon. I've got an EBS Multicomp on order to replace the Opto Stomp (the BBE is a really good comp, but the Multicomp is the one I REALLY want). I'm also thinking about the MXR M-108 10-band EQ or MXR Custom Audio Electronics Boost - or something else - for balancing volume between passive/active basses.
I've got a Pedaltrain Pro board on order, too... I thought about building my own, but the PT has essentially the same design I was thinking of AND comes with a case/velcro. I also figured I'd have a little room for expansion with the PT (vs. building a board to exact size) and dual power supplies if my GAS gets the better of me, which is... a very real possibility.
lol
I should have it all put together by the middle of next week and will of course post a pic of the final ("starting point") board.
Anyone have any thoughts?

I love your set up!. I just brought home anMXR bass auto Q last night. What do you think of yours?
I have a very similar pedal chain with many of the same pedals. I keep my Dunlop wah before my overdrives but other than that, my effects order is pretty much the same. The pedaltrain will be perfect. I am GASING for the same board as my Warwick Rockcase is completely full with 11 pedals and I have more that wont fit!
Show us an updated pic asap!
i'll ask again: can you post a pic of your board, Joe?I'll only ask once, but it'd be nice to see your board
Joe.
what do you mean, "if?" how about "when he posts his board, you'll never feel like a real man again."
c'mon, Toasted! your loyal fans await a glimpse of your Weapons of Mass Destruction!

So do I neh neh neh neh nerrrrr... (i think)
is it that big that everyone in Manchester knows what's on it?!??
yeeeshhh....
It's the armed guards that give it away when he takes delivery.
I don't think Funky knows whats on it anyway, I'd say with postage and stuff you should see Toasted's board a week this Saturday and if you don't then I will cut his pedal leg off
hey guys, what's the best thing to power my pedals with that handles 240V? the voodoo labs pedal power 2 seems to only handle 120V. are there any with voltage switches or made specifically for 240V that are good quality? oh, and it has to run 7 9V DC pedals.
also are those patch cables with no actual cable (ie, two jacks with a bit of metal in the middle) safe for linking together boss pedals and a sansamp GT2?

The pedal that's painted blue with replaced knobs is a Keeley modded Sparkle Drive.
It's funny, cause the big black pedal to the left of the board is a rehoused Aphex Big Bottom with Switch Craft jacks and is modded for true bypass.
Thanks.
nice I knew that was a aphex...
Thanks!
That Auto Q is pretty d@mn funky, it's got lots of user controlability and you can get some pretty wild stuff with that "shimmer" effect that it's got.
I'm still messing around with pedal order so everything is subject to change, but I put the 105Q after the Sparkle Drive because when I tried the wah first, it didn't really have much of an effect. I found that with the 105Q after the Sparkle Drive, it was much more wild, similar to Cliff Burton's sound on Anesthesia. I'm not sure why that is though. Ironically, having the Auto Q BEFORE the distortion is what sounds best to me so far. Go figure!
As I go, I've been posting soundclips of all my individual pedals (and different combinations of), so I'll make sure to include the link when I post a pic of the final board.

P.S. I want to send my Sparkle Drive in for a Robert Keeley mod... has anyone had any experience with that? How much of a difference does it actually make? Is it worth it?
