I like it but for me - I wouldn’t be able to deal with the expression pedal placement. I would need it to be bottom row and preferably at the edge, but that’s me - I’m a bit of a spazz with my feet…
 
Here is my "Clean" always-on Board. Signal Path is Microthumpinator>7 Lightning Boy 2020S>Effectrode Tube Compressor>JohnK Foundry (Submarine into a Blueberry)>Lightning Boy DI

New board ready for 2024. Only the OctaBass remains from before. New (2nd hand) Pedaltrain. Sorted now, methinks, for a rousing rendition of Mustang Sally or even Brown Eyed Girl!!!

Hope this qualifies as "tidy"

I created my first pedal board after watching many YouTube videos. I wanted to be tidy. How did I do?
  • No velcro visible allowing the silver Mono Lite board to look especially clean.
  • Learned about EBS flat patch cables.
  • I also learned that using dual lock on the four corners of each pedal elevates the pedal a bit and creates a nice channel to run the power lead under the pedal and out of sight.

Awfully nice job. Allow me to caution you about the collateral damage these crisp corners on Origin Effects pedals can cause.
Consider a protective product like these applied to the pedal's corners :)

What’s the benefit of the Broughton hpf/lpf vs The hx stomp?

Sorry for the delay! Had a busy holidays...I was using the Broughton to tweak the signal going to the various backlines I'd been using at venues as I found it a little easier to adjust on the fly than digging into the hx stomp during a soundcheck, also was very useful having an end of signal gain adjust on there. Funnily enough, I took the broughton off and set up a few patches on the HX where the H/LPF were more accessible.

Realised my board has changed a fair bit since this so here area couple of up to date pics.
