And so the great rebuild of 2012 begins... ...see you soon![/quote]

Very interesting, Shep... but I think you should probably get some more pedals - just to be on the safe side. ;)

It may not surprise to you know that I've had a clear out and these are the ones that are left... My stripped down ergonomic board so to speak :)

I've done some slight adjustments as well...
Stripped the board, removed all old Velcro and scrubbed it clean, then removed the foam on the base (most of)...

I've made some wooden 'feet' for the top tier to sit on as well as it used to sit on foam which, while OK, has squished a little meaning there was a little movement...

I also put some serious work in making this plinth for the whole front row. Every pedal was on a different size riser to lift it over the lip and to make things more accessible, so instead I made a single one which is covered with 'Veltex' material (which is a fabric cover made by Velcro which acts like the soft side of Velcro). I'm pretty chuffed by it...

So it should all work a little like this...

I took all the measurements at the studio, made the little feet and the plinth at home and prayed I'd got the measurements right... Thankfully it fits with about 1mm spare! I am clearly a power tool god! :)

We're hitting Europe on touted in a few months so I'm going for 'bomb proof' :)

Looks like a real good job mate, if your ever playing around Manchester i'll be there!

Thanks dude. Closest we've got sonar is Bolton, though I'm hoping to hook up a gig with TheBrokenDoor again soon and Manchester is my target (maybe with From The Kites Of San Quentin...)? I'll keep you posted!

Sorry dude - I meant 'the closest to Manchester we have been is Bolton'. The live EP on our Bandcamp was recorded at a mini festival in Bolton a short while ago. We should be heading back in a couple of months though so I'll keep you posted!

End of day one progress of the great pedal board rebuild...

The layout (This took ages to settle on)...

And under the upper tier...

All the powering going in and all the power cables cut to length (still to be cable tidied at the end!)...

Waiting on a GigRig Isolator to arrive to power a few of them (hoping it'll arrive tomorrow) but other than that it's powered. Tomorrow, 9am, patch cabling begins :)

It's shaping up really nicely, I see you're clamouring to trade your Octolooper for an envelope filter so I reckon we'll see one of them being put on at some point.

Although having said that you did shift your Groove Regulator (so perhaps that rules out getting a Wonderlove?) and with your custom Xero I don't see you getting a Xero Deluxe and the 442 clone has gone aswell - I mean I guess the WMD covers all this and a lot more for you?

Finally finished the rebuild. Took LOADS I pics of everything under the hood etc. and I'll drop them all on my website soon. For now, this is how it looks...

Very happy with it. I was a tads OTT with the tidiness and cable wrapping etc. though!

So dont you ever need to tweak your trem or Fuzzrocious shizzle?

Great work BTW! Looks fab! You need to get some neon underlights and sh*t on there though. It's nowhere near tacky enough given how much firepower you got on there!

The underglow has been considered!! Leave it with me.

The Fuzz and OD don't get tweaked. I used to mess with the PN-2 but find I only use it in hard chop now. It's positioned where I can get to the footswitch as it doesn't stay on when powered down. The Octamizer is an always on effect in loop B so that lives underneath now as well.
