OK - I've taken the liberty of doing a roughly-to-scale drawing of my small board as it currently stands.

Not totally accurate - it looks as though there's some space between the fuzz and delay, there isn't.
If the drawing doesn't make it clear, the order is as follows:
Guitar -> wah -> compressor -> OD -> fuzz -> chorus -> tremolo -> delay -> amp
Basically, at the start of the chain (before the wah) I want to add a TC Polytune Mini (power cables permitting - see yesterday's thread...), which should fit given that it's roughly Mooer-sized, but my issue is where to put it - the obvious space being between the compressor and chorus, but bear in mind I have to plug the guitar input in there somewhere. I'd probably need to put the tuner upside down for easier access to the input jack... or should I turn the compressor sideways and put the tuner above it? Or move the wah and put the tuner at the far right of the board?
I'm also trying to consider the tap-dancing aspect of it - I've included the positions of the footswitches on the drawing, because I want to make sure I'm not going to be accidentally stepping on stuff where two footswitches are close together...
What would you suggest? I'm a little flummoxed.

Depends on the pedals.....
Some work best at the front, some in the middle, some at the end........
The only constants on my board are Tuner and Wah* at the front, and to the right of the board.
*I wah with my right foot, I fall over if I try to use my left....

@Bucket - is that a Gator tote? I had the tote pro. Excellent boards if a bit heavy and bulky.
Could you move the bottom row of pedals down to be flush with the bottom edge? How about putting the Comp horizonal/perpendicular to the Wah?
On the subject of Tuner placement, I used to always have it at the start of the chain but I moved it to the end on one board out of necessity and that's where it's stayed ever since, perfect for muting your whole rig.
I'd also try putting the Trem last in your chain (after delay) so that it affects the repeats.
Also, we're gonna need pics of this whole this coming together!
Glad I'm not the only person who has experienced this with tc's tuners!
