I guess it looks pretty tidy from the top. Not sure what the consensus would be if I flipped it over, though. Anyway, here's my tidy-esque board:
Yes, I realize that having a a GLX16 wireless AND a tuner is redundant but I don't always use the wireless, such as when I'm practicing at home. Plus it's a mini pedal and doesn't take up much room, so I just leave it on the board out of convenience.

lol...yeah, I did the same thing underneath. my OCD disregarded that birds nest
I build a new pedalboard every year or two. Can't stand a messy board, and I don't cycle through a lot of FX. This one is basically JUST the necessities, though I use the Sansamp far more often than the "light" ODB3 for a little dirt, so that one *might* go away.
The main reason the underside isn't that pretty/tidy is because of how I placed each pedal on the board and which outlet on the OneSpot that it's plugged into. I wanted the pedals laid out basically in the order they appear in the chain and the only exception is that the wireless is first, but then feeds into the Sub 'n Up and it's in order after that. Because I don't tap the footswitch on the wireless receiver off and on while playing, I put that one on the top row where the "utility" pedals are, the ones that will either stay on the whole time I'm playing or be off basically the whole time I'm playing. But different pedals have different power requirements, so there's a lot of crossing of wires underneath to get the power cords to the right outlet. I ended up just plugging them all into an appropriate power outlet and then tie wrapped them together to keep them under control.lol...yeah, I did the same thing underneath. my OCD disregarded that birds nest
I don't have to look at it, so it hopefully won't bother me much.

I like how you're using the two Boss ODs with different settings so you have the same flavor of drive, only with different intensities. Looks like a good idea.
That's exactly why I have them. To be honest I stole the idea from my guitarist, but it works.
Also, ignore the settings, these pics were taken just after getting everything settled on the board & before fine tuning.
Thanks!

it’s a broken take deck simulator/chorus/vibrato sounding pedal. Very cool.
I ran into the exact same dilemma for the same reasons. One Spot and all. Your logic is what I used also for for second row (always on/off).The main reason the underside isn't that pretty/tidy is because of how I placed each pedal on the board and which outlet on the OneSpot that it's plugged into.

Great minds think alike

Sorry for the bad pic. Minor update. Added the Eden Glowplug to warm things up just a little bit. It does, but I'll recognize it's not indispensable. Probably my next purchase will be Strymon Mobius + Multiswitch and my board's going to get crowded. I may either take the Eden off or switch to a larger Tone Trunk 70 (which I already have).
I didn't take a pic of the bottom but basically, since I have a Cioks Ciokolate underneath, there is a very small corridor available for all the cables to run, so they are simply tied together with small velcro strips.

Utility/always-on pedals on the top row, I've always done that too, so I "cannot" stomp them accidentally.
That SA Soundblox reminded me immediately of an old Motorola Motran police radio control head. Yes... I am an unabashed geek on many, diverse levels.
For how much is going on this is pretty tidy tbh!
I'm sorry, sir... but that Dimension pedal looks crooked to me.
dammit!
Would like to hear the sounds from that pedalboard .
