super rad stuff

well, i finally got around to getting some velcro. 2" heavy duty strips, fits well across the board, and perfectly to the back of pedals. i used an old shelf from my one of my bookshelfs, since i don't have any books to put on it anyways. the board altogether is coming together much more neatly than i thought it would.
pics:
the two metal panels i've got in the last picture are for when i get around to getting a real power supply. those will be screwed onto the back of the board to isolate them a bit. i got'em for free from GC since they had a new manager that week, and wanted some stuff thrown away. i asked for them, and they said i could have them. i'll lilkely just end up using the larger panel for a power brick of some sort, and stick the brick on with zip ties.
currently, everything is hooked up with a 1-spot daisy chain power connector, boss 9v adapter, and random budget-level livewire connectors and an ernie ball male/male connector. aside from my two main cables(mogami gold straight-plugs, 10ft/18ft), it's nothing fancy, but for now it gets the job done.
as for the pedals on there.... i know i've got three distortions. i might be looking to get rid of one, who knows. i've also got an MXR carbon copy on layaway right now, so that's gonna go on there as the last thing before the amp. i've got a wah that i picked up from lucid, but it won't work anymore so i've got to figure out how to fix it before it goes on here. the only other pedal i would need is a good compressor; not one for sustain, but for limiting really since i'm not too keen on gain boost just to get a good crunch out of my pedals, i like a leveled-out level the best
anyways, this is a board in progress, currently made at the lowest level of budget possible. i'll keep y'all posted on it's progress

the ds-1 on the left is one i picked up off of trevorus. he modded it, though i don't completely recall how/what. it's a monty allums mod IIRC. either way, that pedal is totally different. it's much darker and bassier, has a more useable tone sweep, more gain boost, and is smoother-but-crunchier than the stock ds-1, which is grainier(in a good way
i really like having the velcro like this, it fits the pedals just right. also, the size of the bookshelf actually gives me alot of room to grow into, especially since it's long enough for two rows of pedals.
