double lock for me and tiny little zip ties on the cable runs.
3M Dual Lock for me. It's secure, so I don't need large pieces. It doesn't hold dirt like Velcro. I bought a giant spool a couple years ago and have been going through it steadily. But there might be better stuff out there so I'm interested in other responses.
Edit: I'm too lazy to ziplock cables, so I just tie them into little knots
Dual lock. Cut into small squares.

Looks good thanks! Have you r Er
Which adhesive type did you go with, the indoor?3M Dual Lock for me. It's secure, so I don't need large pieces. It doesn't hold dirt like Velcro.

I just looked it up, and apparently I use the indoor/outdoor industrial stuff
I saw your post about getting the Rocktron. How are you liking it?
Great looking Lakland!
Best wishes,

Some amazing pedalboards.
When I see pedals placed at 90° angles I get all twitchy

I’m going through the battle of the fuzz and chorus pedals.
For fuzz I’m torn between the Boss FZ5, Stomp under foot Pumpkin PI, and believe it or not a DOD Grunge. The TC Mojomojo claims to be an OD, but it’s gets nice fuzzy sounds too...
For chorus I like the simplicity of the Boss DC-2w and the EHX Small Clone, but the Boss CEB-3 has more possibilities...
The OD pedal battle is ongoing, but the Wilson Sparkling Blue has proven to be the top of the heap.. and it’s a big heap...

Making things go whoomp, whoomp since 1994
So, also tidied up the secondary pedal board. And yes, another Spark Booster. I loved it so much on my Orange board I got a second one for the Ampeg board. It’s just this good.
My current bass board. Simple, so tidy by default:
My current guitar board, as tidy as a flat board with 12 pedals can probably be:

the winners of the fuzz, chorus, and OD battle are.... (also decided I didn’t need the flanger)
turns out I had 11 od pedals.... (sold 2 recently)

Update, bought and installed the Aguilar DB 925 preamp on the board. To tighten up the pedal spacing I replaced all patch cables with EBS flat cables. The pedals are attached to the board with clear 3M Dual Lock and the patch cables are fastened to cable clips to keep the board tidy. Cable clips also under the board to fasten the power cables. So far I'm very happy with the DB 925, with a passive P-Bass it firms up the tone and with the bass control 1/3 on it adds a nice punch to the lows. The treble control is off, with the Pyramid Gold flats there isn't much highs to begin with so the treble control doesn't add to the tone. I expect it would be different with roundwounds.
I can see that you are using both Bodyrez and Boss AD-2. How would you compare them? Are you using the AD-2 with bass guitar?
I have been considering replacing my Bodyrez with AD-2...for my NS Design NXT EUB...
Thank you.
My bass board, when I started building one about 4 years ago, was all tc electronic mini pedals:
I used the BodyRez because I have a piezo-equipped bass:
But, after building that board, I wanted to get the Boss pedals to see how they compared, and it turned out I actually liked them. It also turns out the toneprint I developed for the SpectraComp for bass works really well for acoustic/electric guitar, so I repurposed the BodyRez and SpectraComp to my guitar board.
Now, that being said, I think the BodyRez is better at what I need it to do for my bass than the AD-2, but the AD-2 is good enough, and I have a fetish for matching pedals. It also turns out that while my SpectraComp toneprint is really great on bass, the BC-1X is a little bit better and adds the visual gain reduction meter, and although I could spend time tweaking the toneprint, since it also works really well for a/e guitar, I chose to just move to Boss for bass.
I am considering changing my bass board again, either going back to the tc electronic pedals for those functions, and adding some One Control analogue pedals for magnetic pickups, or using the new Boss GT-1000Core. Here's a couple of layouts I developed:
The BodyRez and AD-2 are sufficiently low priced on the used market that I think you might want to pick them both up and try them out with your playing style, your instrument, and your rig, and see which suits your tastes better. Me, I'd be perfectly happy to use either, though I believe the BodyRez is a little bit better. It would be nice if tc electronic would open up the toneprint capabilities of the BodyRez to offer the ability to tweak it better for bass, specifically.
Thank you for your thorough explanation.
That makes perfect sense.
That's good to know.
I bought Bodyrez used...and have been waiting for AD-2 to appear on the used market.
On paper, AD-2 seems to offer more functions for similar price: high input impedance, reverb and notch filter.
I will have to see whether it is comparable (quality-wise) with Bodyrez on the main function though...
