Roast My Pedalboard!

Actually, I really like your board. Needs a tuner, a chorus pedal, and a phaser to fill the empty space then you'll be completely set.

The only other thing is the B3K. Noting wrong with the B3K on its own, but since you've already got an AO and a fuzz, maybe a Vintage Microtubes would fit in the set better?
 
Are you sure you've left enough room between the pedals for your oddly wide, flat feet?

Heya!

I recently put together my pedalboard. VooDoo Dingbat with Voodoo power supply. Pedals as pictured, the avalanche run is running through the send/return currently.

Anyway, roast it! What could be better? Does it just not make sense? What could I add? Is there anything I should just totally trash?

Also feel free to post your pedalboard so people can roast it.

I've never owned any of that.
 
It's not so much about the amount of void as it is about the lack of balance in the void. Placement strikes me as haphazard and somewhat rushed perhaps hinting at a mind that may be somewhat cluttered. While the choices are obviously strong, the lack of creativity in the overall abstract is somewhat concerning. The randomness of the space as a whole may be a hint of an underlying issue.

Feel free to critique in turn.

I actually like your board the way it is. Only thing I would change are the cables. I prefer flat patch cables that are black. 6 inch ones like these since your board is a bit compact:
Hosa Technology 6" Molded Low-Profile Right-Angle to Same Flat Guitar Patch Cabl 728736060203 | eBay
They should also save you some space

On that note, here is a picture of both my boards. Open for critique/suggestions

Thanks for the link on the flat cables. I agree they would give my board a cleaner look. Both you boards look very thought out and have that clean look.
