Show your tidy pedalboard!

Great looking pedalboards that have given me some great ideas. I’m thinking about mounting the HPF underneath.
 
Sorry for stacking posts for same pedalboard. I've managed to get better shots today.

Signal path goes like this (if someone's intrrested):Uto

Bass --> EHX Battallion --> MXR M80 --> GK Plex (input), then comes the loop: GK Plex (send) --> Valeton CAB --> Valeton MDR --> Boss RC3 --> MXR M135 --> GK Plex (return) --> Amp/d.i.

How has the GK PLEX worked out for you? I was looking forward to purchasing this pedal, but I’ve read some disappointing reviews of it.

I trimmed my board into a half. The board is a local brand as well as the Zoom controller, vitoos power supply underneath, lava tightrope for patches, others are self explanatory). I went as far as finding angled mini USB cable for Zoom and the controller in order to make this the tidiest board I ever assembled.

That controller is cool. I worked out who makes it but couldn't find info on it. Have you got a link please?

It's a one man shop in Indonesia buat AFAIK he also takes international order. I assure you that controller really works & takes Zoom MS into a new level. You may contact him via his Instagram page Login • Instagram or by WhatsApp +6285800222170

Been using this arrangement for the past few weeks, although today i did a quick octave swap removing the 3.5" × 4.5" Broughton Synth Voice Deluxe for the mini Donner Harmonic Square i got in a trade a few months ago, hence the empty real estate surrounding it.

Also experimenting with dual compressors for the first time ever... my beloved Aguilar in the front and the higher end FEA OptiFet in the back of the bus

I think i also ditched my Locust Star for the Qtron for a little more variety. I feel like the SUF Green Russian is close enough to the LS and quite a bit less complicated.

And oh yea... the FMeron is riding the front rail a little extra low cuz I've been messing with a borrowed expression pedal into it for the very first time... gots to get me one of those!

Based on your layout should I place my Bassist between tuner and drop? I’m no expert.

Not sure. I'm no pedal expert myself, I'm just kinda of going on what I've read as far as others' experiences so far. I'm open to change if I can make it better. I feel like the most likely change I'll be making is to swap the tuner and the compressor... but I'm going to see how everything works out in this arrangement first. :cool:

I really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really wish pedal manufacturers would all standardize on top jacks and power sockets.

There. I said it. Bear in-mind my reasons were as pure and clean as a set of roundwounds that's been gigged 300 times over the past 4 years.
