Rate my board

Finally put my bass effects on a board.
Welcome @THEDAbass, there is always a bit of humor with many posts especially with a roast my board post.
That is a solid start that I am certain will develop as you go.

Is the 3rd Dimension a Dimension C clone?
Yes it is a Dimension C but it is mono and has a low input threshold. I use mine all the time.

After 50 years at the efx game my current main board...

I will replace the 3rd Dimension with a Sushi Box FX Chorus when available.
 
Is the board designed to be a pedal board? Even the Boss pedals are hangin off the edge and you would think that any pedal board would at least try Boss pedals' fit. Not sure about the cables used. A little more cleanup needed with cabling and mount the power supply. That's what power supplies and pedal boards are meant to do. Is there a reason for putting the chorus in the front of your chain? Generally modulation is at the end, usually before delay and finish off with reverb if you have one. I'm not going to give a rating because it seems like you may be taking this a little too serious. Anyways, you can roast mine:

Looks cool man. Ironically I feel like everyone else is taking it too seriously. Oh well.

Too busy, too much going on, and that light is going to attract flying insects on stage.
 
I give it a Board/Board.

I don't get why you'd not mount the PSU to the board, it's a tripping hazard.

I think the Bass Big Muff is the worst fuzz pedal I've ever heard. I'd take a $15 offbrand fuzz from Amazon over the BBM.

I don't like having my pedals dangle off the edges of my board, but you're doing what you can with what you've got (too small of a board or too-bulky cables).
