Roast My Pedalboard!

A tuner, a dmc micro for the C4 and a quick rearranging of the pedals are all I could see. Killer board as is.
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'm thinking I need an altoids tin...

You have great pedals for sure. Lots of dirt. I might put the BEF and C4 interspersed within the dirt a bit more, so you can really explore dirt > filter and filter > dirt. Maybe another synth/octaver pedal to move that sound to a couple places in the chain.

Then some modulation: phaser, Chorus, flanger, and tremolo. For chorus a good multi-voice detuner like the Polytope is a great option for mimicking fat synth bass patches.
 
These are great comments and suggestions. I have them run Hyper Luminal- B3K -Big Muff- C4 - Alpha/Omega and the Avalanche Run rubbing through the send/return. I have an expression pedal controlling the Avalanche.

the Altoids tin is for picks should I need or want them and was kind of an after thought because, yeah... there was too much available space.

I use an altoids tin as well for the same reasons. (The red one has nice low mids)

Your pedalboard is so fat all the other pedal boards have to take the tram to get around it.

your pedal board is so dumb it couldn't get a good job and had to sell magazine subscriptions door to door.

your pedal board is so ugly when you stomp on it the other pedal boards think it got a makeover.

your pedal board is so stingy when you give it a note it makes change.

It is hard to help You, because the problem is that at start you try it out in the shop, see the low price and momentally buy it, later You play it a lot at home and praise it a lot, then You make a big pedalboard and get messed up - what and when You should play this and that and finally You hav 10 pedals and use only 2 of them. You have to remember if You even need some pedal from the board. So it goes on and on, you think You will sell does two and buy that one..... If You really want to make a good board - start it with one pedal, then wisely add another, but always think about it's need in it.
