my first pedal board is pretty rough, as it should be. I took a huge chunk of wood, went to the back of wall mart, found a pallet, mounted that wood on the pallet and painted the wood. I also hand made a lot of these patch cables...they sucked...badly. I would constantly get cut outs and volume drops and i didn't care because It was my first pedal board.

I too, had posted in the last PYPB thread. Since it's my first board, this thread is where it belongs.

PT-1 board with Pedal Power Plus underneath-
Polytune, MXR Envelope Filter, MXR Phase 100, TREX Bass Sweeper, Yamaha NE-1, MXR M80.
Found a used MXR M288 BOD on GC and it's on the way.
As I said in the other thread, nothing fancy. Only other upgrades considered right now are MAYBE George-L cables for tidy things up a bit (maybe).

Ok. I decided to do this again. I've posted my boards on ILF before, but this is the true signs of a sickness my friends. I have horrible pedal OCD/ADD.

Not a board, but this is how I was playing not that long ago.

My first actual pedalboard was assembled when I got back into playing and gigging (around 2006) but I used pedals starting with my most successful college band back in 1998-2000. I don't have any digital pictures but I should scan a shot or two from then.

My setup at the time was Boss OC-2 --> Russian Big Muff --> Mutron III+ --> Boss Delay (I believe a DD3)

I also had a Slow Gear that I used a bit early on and then took out of the chain.
 
i'm too lazy to look for a full evolution spread (verrrrrrrry interesting to see y'alls), but this is the first pic i posted in a PYPB thread i think.........
