Behold my massive board of pedals

But what I'm curious about is your power supplies, or where do you attach them and how do you guys account for pedals with weird requirements?

Having added a few hungry pedals to my board, I've just upgraded from a pair of HB PP Jrs to a Truetone CS12.  I'll post an underbelly shot once I've done some, er, grooming down there.

 Crap image and Not hugely helpful as I mount the Zuma top side seeing as I have the space.

I learned from expensive experience that I'm very uncomfortable with options/ menus/ screens/ apps/ laptop software to adjust my gear, etc etc. I need simple. 

I've arrived at this setup and I'm happy.  It doesn't do much but it has everything I want and nothing else. 

Layout that works for me being left footed.  Small gap on the board for plugging in my guitar and access to controls on the amp.  Larger space for stowing a wah which I always use off-board if at all.  Diago Gigman board. Ammoon PSU under the Talisman.  Everything in front of the amp except the Talisman which is set 100% wet and in the parallel fx loop.

I'm hoping to stick with this for a little while now! I mean, obviously I won't, but that's what I'm hoping!

Couldn’t resist. This was my setup today. 

I thought Rush were the smoke machine/pyro kings.  I’d say they’re outclassed now.

This has been stable for so long now that maybe I should actually do the wiring properly..

I know it isn't my board.... but I still enjoy looking at them

It really ties the room together.

Also, nice board!

Karma suture is so underrated, I also have a ghost echo... get a raised board, pop the power supply underneath and then add more stuff

I'm quite happy with my modest pedalboard with the recent addition of the T-Rex creamer. The Laney is surprisingly great sounding with the advantage of having a 12" speaker (upgraded with a Celestion greenback) and an FX loop.

The first row goes in front the second row goes into the loop.

Here's the latest iteration of my board:

Guitar > Polytune 3 mini > Digitech Ricochet > Magnetic Effects White Atom > Crowther Hot Cake > Snouse Black Box 2 > Walrus Julia v2 > Amp > Loop send > Red Panda Particle v2 > HBE Psilocybe > Drolo Twin Peaks > Source Audio Nemesis > EQD Astral Destiny > Pigtronix Infinity 2 > Loop return

Belly shot ...

Perhaps not the neatest cable management in the world ... but until this latest rebuild I was (no word of a lie) using those twisty wire-ties you get with a packet of food bags, so this is a big improvement!

The PSU is a Truetone CS12. Everything is at 9V, with the exception of the Black Box (18V) and the Hot Cake (12V).  Current-hungry pedals get higher-current outputs, though I understand that the only important thing with this particular PSU is that the total current draw doesn't exceed the total supply.

The Bright Onion patch bay has a switch via which you can move the second part of the chain to either be in the loop, or (if the amp doesn't have a loop) to be in front of the amp:

I had some trials and tribulations with noise while putting this together, which I wrote up here: The Joy of FX (loops)

I'm really happy with the result, and can't wait to try this out with the band - hopefully soon ...

@djspecialist what's the board you're using?

It's an Emma Amarhyll.

I managed to squeeze one more pedal on (the x box)

Enjoying a new Nano+ build.

Edit: all the boards. I have a problem yes.

Upgraded my board to a Mono. Good value considering it comes with a really good gig bag.

The KMA Tyler is a hissy fucker so I have to put a very strong signal into the front of it. The sole purpose of the GE7 at the end of the signal chain is to knock things down a bit so it wouldn’t automatically slam the front end of the amp....

My latest iteration; I need to add something to switch in a 2nd board and may also reorg the layout a bit.

Fishboy7

Here's my latest batch. 

I can't decide if I prefer the Jan Ray into the RYRA or the other way around though.
