PYPB 44: ...like Tetris with boxes, wires and cables

Ok, I've gone the dual board route with my small board of stuff that gets used all the time and a larger stay at home board for the fun stuff. I *think* this configuration has a chance of lasting for a bit. (Or not). Small board is tuner-Bifet Preamp-pork loin-cloven hoof. Big board is bypass loop /micro synth, bass balls, Qtron+ w/gray channel in its loop, phase 90, ekko 616, byoc boost, and CS-505 chorus.

I thought about going for a "modular" setup like yours for a while, but I think I'd prefer to use my main Nano+ board for the most used effects and a separate multi-FX unit on the floor (think M9, Helix etc.) for all kind of crazy stuff.

I like this modular setup a lot. A small "gigging" board for normal gigs, and a more extensive looping/ambient board to tack on to the end for any gigs that call for this level of self indulgence. you cant see the Fdeck under the metro20, which comes right after the octabvre.

Outgrew the Holey Board, came across a "Big Kahuna" Holey Board since I have acquired about 5 more pedals than the ones pictured. Still having issues with my pedal order

I've used a holeyboard for a few years now and still don't know if I am in love with it. I want to make it work but seems always a challenge to get everything perfect on it.

I purchased some EBS PCF-DL10 Deluxe Flat cabels for a tighter fit and am currently considering covering the larger holey board with Rhino Truck Bed Liner to match my Schroeder Cabinet. I'm not sure why they stopped selling the wooden boards? They are pretty hard to come by now, even on eBay. I just despise velcro......

Yes I have used EBS flat cables as well as some others And not a Velcro fan. Here was the latest rendition of my board.
 
I've got a small collection of amazing dirt pedals, but it seems that when I'm playing with my bands, these are the three I use almost exclusively. So, that's what I'm going with these days. (Edit: did some ABing between ST-300 and TU-3 tuners and decided that the buffered TU-3 made the board sound more clear.)

Seems we all got that problem one way or t' other. I'm forcing myself to use different fx boards and basses with my various projex this year.
