Show me your compact pedalboard setup

Made some updates
 
Heya Compact Pedal Board folks... Does anyone have a US source for Cooks-Style cables? I need to connect a Cioks PSU to a center-positive pedal. I ordered one direct from Cioks for $4.95, but didn't see the $19.95 shipping cost!

pretty happy with this compact setup, surprised to see how much I could get on a metro 20. I had to hog out some metal and add taller feet to get my PP2+ underneath for power but its solid.

@DrewinHouston Thanks! Can I assume that even though their version has a red jack and Cioks has a green that it will fit an Eventide H9?
EDIT
I think the red jack means that it's center positive. These are Cioks cables.

The green ones are for Eventide, I picked the wrong one. See here:

It looks like no one on Reverb is shipping the Type 4 cable from the US.

You probably don't want to "assume" anything...make sure it's the correct polarity. Wrong polarity will fry a pedal...
 
Both the red and green are center positive, but you are right.
That's what I also would have assumed, just being careful. I had the red cables with my Voodoo Labs Pedal Power Mondo, and now I have the 1spot "L6" adapters to use with my Strymon PSUs, and the 1spot ones are green. No experience with Cioks.
 
Yeah, don't mess with power. I watched a crazy long video about power cables when I first got my cioks (way MORE than I cared to know) and none-the-less had an issue with a pedal. I followed all the instructions to a T, but somehow managed to fry a pedal...I think the cioks dip switch is labeled incorrectly or didn't work to where it was set at, but I fried an important pedal.
 
Cioks to me is the real deal. I own a Cioks Ciokolate and I can power pretty much everything with it, from old 24v EHX pedals to 1A devices, even those running AC. It's pretty large though: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]
They have cables that suit all your needs: reverse polarity, series, parallel,boost, just be careful picking the right one! The Flex cables page is not available currently, but there are lots and lots of option! If you need to, e-mail them, you'll get a quick reply with alle the info you need.
 
New arrival on my PB. Rock Stock's Bright Switch. I'm using it to feed my Line6 Relay G10 base by using the Cioks Ciokolate rather than having a dedicated PSU. I'm keeping it underneath the board 'cause I don't want to ever trample over the USB cable as I move from one pedal to another. Also, I've replaced the Line6's stock USB cable with an angled one: it's got a shorter plug which doesn't extend as much on the outside, and has a better "grip" on the inlet than the stock one.

that's what I've been doing with mine too, I should probably try to put it under my board too, wonder if it'll fit......

That Sweet Spot looks pretty awesome... and to think I was done (haha... is there such a thing?)

After I took this shot, I realized that I had a power connection issue :) this is my current configuration, which is awesome b/c now I get the house mix the same tone that is going to my amp! This worked WONDERFULLY at my last gig, though I'm still messing with the location of the phase 90!
