I am not much of a woodworker, but I made this pedal board this week for better cable management and a little room for expansionView attachment 3980735

I have a Microtubes X Ultra as well. I was really impressed with the low gain tones you can get out of this for worship. Especially if you play around and find a good IR, something like a b15 portaflex cab sounds really good

I used it today for the first time at church and it sounded amazing, it was great having so much more control of my tone running direct. I had a SpectraDrive before for my DI and the Microtubes just gives me so much more to work with.
 
This afternoon I decided to see how compact I could get, and still have the essentials on the pedalboard that I use for WT... and that would also be usable for a rock band.

Metro16 was chosen to be the platform. It performed very well at WT rehearsal this evening, and I love the much easier carry!

Nice! I've been trying to get a smaller board since I sold a couple pedals I wasn't really using, and have come to a point where I really don't think I need anything else (weird, I know), so I love seeing tight setups like yours.

I was considering replacing my old PT2 with a Novo 18, but Gruv Gear just released their Lynk, and I'm not sure if I should give it a try. I've been using Pedaltrain for around 8 years now and they've always been great for me, but the Lynk looks like a very interesting design too.

Sweet!!!

Question... how wide is your LA1A??

I was messing around with the pedaltrain planner earlier and couldn't decide on the metro 16 or 20..

Reason being, they didn't have a photo of a Mesa Subway DI for me to use..
By looking at your 16, I'm thinking it'll work just fine :thumbsup:

LA1A is the same as the Blackbird on Pedal Playground (which is superior to Pedal Planner).
