With a new guitar amp, and a clean house, I figured it was high time I get my pedalboard in order.
 
It's basically a Depth Charge Clone...If your into that sort of Fuzz it sounds Friggin great....

In the video there was a loud hum that never changed pitch or anything, no matter what was being played. I didn't know if that was a problem with the pedal or the person making the video. I love the way it looks though. And its from Japan! Who doesn't love Japan?
 
Finished? You can totally fit one more pedal on there. Come on, who's it going to hurt if you just get one more? Just a little fix before you stop.

All kidding aside, that is a seriously great board

Thanks! And I have to be done buying pedals.. my wife and i are on a no spending budget thingy so I actually can't.. BUUUUUT I do have a bunch of pedals I can sell or trade if anything strikes my fancy! That's the only way right now I can get anything else. But I'm happy and content with what I have.
 
Here's my latest iteration:

I kicked the BF3 off and was thinking of going with an SA orbital modulator which would also kick of the poly. Possibly. The XD1 has such a large learning curve for me, which is not a bad thing in the least, that I decided it was best of I take it off my main board and learn it better before throwing it into the mix with everything else.
 
All right pedalboard friends, it's been a while since I've posted, but been a while since I've changed anything. To the naysayers, my Mini is still Done after 10 months. I did change the knobs on the B7K and PWNZOR, but the setup remains the same. ;) ;)

My bigger board has changed a little bit though... I got myself a Hot Hand 3 and Boss SYB-5 for Christmas, and have been giving the combo a try (very cool, and I think actually usable in my urban gospel band of all places!). I still want to try the HH3 with my Boss PS-5 and EP2, and am kicking around the idea of an Expressionator if I like those two combos as well.

DILEMMA: How to power both my 1-Spot and HH3. With the current power strip, the 1-Spot plug works great, but the the HH3 plug (while small) doesn't have necessary room... the plug will hit the floor before the feet of the PT1 do. BAD. If I get a power strip with the sockets oriented 90 degrees differently, the HH3 plug will fit great, but the 1-spot won't.

Any ideas? I thought I've seen power strips that you can rotate the sockets on, but not sure. Doing research now. I don't want to mount the power strip on the top, board's full anyway. I'm stumped and I figure the pedalboard experts here would have ideas. *crossing fingers*

Thanks!

Still done!!!

Hot Hand underneath (I did try putting it on top, just not enough room to get it on without putting the power jack in potentially damaging spots)

Current power strip and HH3 plug. The cable would hit the floor and bend before the feet hit the floor.

Why not slap a little velcro on the back side of the pedalboard?

As for the wall wart,

I think you've got a winner on that plug extender, I didn't even think of that. Derrrrrrrr. *facepalm :p

As for velcro on the back of the board... The way I have it set up, the board is pretty tight in the case, and I use the blank space for cords and such. Also, the HH3 has kind of a hard rubber/soft touch matte finish to it, so velcro doesn't stick to it well at all.
