More pedals, more cables, more power. Alot more tidy.

Took a while.

I could not resist the symmetric pedal layout, disregarding the signal path. Made the cabling that much more time consuming.

Tried to really clean up the cabling underneath, while keeping signal and power cables separated. Went through 100+ zip ties, god knows how many zip tie holders, spent way too much € on additional cables of correct length.

End result is a pretty noise free board that can do clean, overdrive, fuzz, looping, delay, ambient and synth madness.

All good until the next pedal comes along..

Very tidy indeed. Great job.

You've got dirt on the board and a lot of dirt under the board. LOL

This is the only mod I "had to do". I took an aluminium sheet, had it bent and drilled by my neighbor, who runs a hardware store. Easy peasy. Then, I covered it with the same wrap I used for the "fake-aluminium" pickguard on the black P-bass. Almost perfectly identical to the Tone Trunk surface! I later realized there was enough space left for a USB connector which I could use to recharge my wireless unit, but honestly I don't want to tear it down again. It's not a big enough deal, a phone charger will do the same :-D
Anyway I'll take some pics of the whole thing once even the last cable will be in its place. Come on DHL, come on!!!

All my boards are tidy, but I just rebuilt the board for this one so I could get cables underneath and power it with a battery, so I figured I'd post it here. Just switched the Mooer Envelope in for a Bass Sweeper. It's about 15mm bigger than a Nano in Depth and Width, but still fits in a Mono Guitar Tick just.
