Show your tidy pedalboard!

Got me some new pedals, which means bigger board and more power:

The underside:

Spent some (but evidently not enough) time on the underside. Ran out of long patch cables, so I now have a 'bridge' between the pedal lanes. Didn't plan the cable layout well enough, ended up too messy for my tastes, and also somehow managed to place the tuner into one of the LS-2 effect loops so it mutes only half the signal :facepalm:

Otherwise it sounds great. Pretty quiet considering the number of pedals and semi complex signal path.

Also added an input jack to the underside of the board:

I will just jump right on the LS-2 hype train. I have had and used one for a long time now, and it is probably the most useful pedal I have.

Bonus signal path for those interested:

It is not obvious from the diagram, but the LS-2 runs one 'clean' signal from the LMB-3 to the Battalion, and one loop with the effects on the bottom. The Bass Synth is connected to the send/return on the Attack/Decay for fading in the synth.

Me too! Awesome board!
Cheers. I was considering a Broughton SV-Pre instead of the TC Spark, and actually still have an alarm set for 30 October when the next batch is supposed to hit the online store. I got the Spark as an “in the meantime” pedal, as it's very inexpensive here (~ $50), then to move it to my secondary, Ampeg-based board once the SV-Pre is here. But I am so impressed by how well it does what I want it to do that I instead ordered a second Spark for the Ampeg board. :D Am now considering the SV-Pre as a replacement for my SCR-DI instead.
