Show your tidy pedalboard!

[GMC]

Nice - did you make the board/case yourself? It’s very handy to have compartments for cables to live in. That’s one of my main gripes with commercially available boards - too little attention paid to cable management.

Thanks, yes I did. When i built this, there wasn't anything commercial that covered this size and shape.
Here's link to my build diary: My DIY Pedalboard

I thought it said Tiny, not Tidy haha.

1.) Main, Compression and Chorus are in the effects loop of the Mesa Subway+ DI. Tuner is patched to the dedicated tuner out. Alembic DS-5 is separate.

2.) Secondary pedals. (these get patched into the effects loop sometimes)

No, it's home made and heavily influenced by Schmidt. Interestingly....when I built this board it was a unique size and shape and Schmidt didn't have anything like it. Now they do and I can't help think that my board might have influenced their 450.

Here's the build of it: My DIY Pedalboard

Brilliant! Wish I had a shop to try to do that! Those Schmidt boards are not cheap! Looks great!

Okay, great pedal boards. Since I’ll be putting together my first, what are your opinions about going through the effects loop as opposed to into the front of the amp? I’ve only ever used the occasional chorus or octaves, and always through the front of the amp. What are the pros and cons of effects loops for a pedal board loaded with effects?

Wow! Holy cow. Did you win the lottery or something?

Most amp's effect loops are line level, and most pedals are meant to take instrument level signals in their input, so in most cases you're better off going through the front of the amp.

I like tidy ...

Couldn’t find the right size single row pb, so I cut up/modified my PT Classic 1 and 2 pb’s...

Tidy on top, but I’ll refrain from showing you the bottom. Let’s just say none of the cables touch the floor and I’m fine with that. I’ve been very happy with this exact setup for about 1.5 years and don’t feel the need to switch anything up.

Signal chain bounces around the physical layout too because of pedal sizes, jack location layouts (top or side), and the length of patch cables I own. It goes;
-Tuner
-OC-2
-5th Gear OD
-VB Jr. loop
—>Octavbre
—>Filter Twin
—>Phase 90
-Barbershop OD (always on)
-Keeley Bassist limiter (always on)
-VT Bass DI

Would love to upgrade to all ebs flats patch cables, but that’s pricey for something I don’t need. Some day!

On svelte Pedaltrain Jr., with good-not-great tidiness under the hood: Korg tuner to EBS compressor to Cog Effects octave to "hairy" Sansamp DI/woofer-out to Boss line selector with "dirty" loop (Darkglass α/Ω) and "filthy" sub-loop (another Boss line selector blending sub-sub-loops of Animato distortion and Black Russian fuzz both into a Green Russian fuzz à la you-know-who) to Zoom multi-fx for good measure. Beats practicing ;D
