Yeah there is a little mini-shelf on the under/back of the 8+" pieces. I pushed mine in a corner to create two points of contact with the Dual Lock (see the red markings). Its on there firm, doesn't go anywhere when I shake the board.

I Amazing Gooped a piece of acrylic the right shape and thickness underneath, in between those edges, and the Dual Lock gets stuck to that.

I also made some aluminum panels on the top to mount some pedals in the perfect spot.

Compactified a bit more today. I just finished the Parentheses Fuzz Mini (Life Pedal clone) so it was time to redo the board. Off came the Green Russian Big Muff Pi and modded Metal Zone which gave me some room to actually have the Element on the board and in a position to make it easy to output to my amp when need be. (I love Darkglass, but having the outputs on the right side just seems to screw everything up.)

Signal chain: OBNE Signal Blender - Loop 1 Alpha Omega Ultra / Loop 2 Parentheses - Element

Not sure I can compact this down any more without getting a smaller board and flipping everything vertical. Hmmm... Might just have to be a Nano in my future in that case as this is the Nano+.
 
Impressive! What's your signal path?

LAKLAND DJ5 > Strobostomp HD > cali76 comp > Source Audio C4 > (SPLIT HERE) >
(Path A) oc-2 > Darkglass Microtoobies > Two Notes CabM > Clean output

(Path B) plumes > radial > Dirty output

Running c4 also split to run additional dirts to Path B.

I'm playing with running a clean and dirty signals for our church recordings. The dirty path is going to be always on pretty heavy and let the sound tech dial in what they need on a separate channel.

Going this route because I've never had a church sound tech tell me "take what you think is an appropriate level or dirt....then make it like 20% dirtier" until we got to this new church hahaha
