Build your own Tornado, if your handy that is, I'm sure you can find an empty flight case or something similar out there cheaap, then do your own thing.

That's a great choice of pedals Torresfan,you'll find the Micro Pog and Memory Boy very addictive-especially the Micro Pog as it is an incredibly versatile pedal that can do amazing things with your guitar's signal.

Thanks. The Micro Pog is the one I'm most excited about. I've been watching a lot of YouTube videos on it. The sounds you can get are incredible. Especially the classic Byrds 12 string sound. I've always wanted a Rickenbacker but was a little put off by the issues of tuning and maintaining a 12 string guitar. Now the Micro Pog will make my Strat or Tele sound the same.

I'd also like a board steve.. was looking at the Pedaltrain Jr, Voodoolabs Power 2+ and George L cables.

Unfortunately that adds up pretty quick for what you get.


Agreed. I have several One Spots and a box of 9v batteries but I need to keep the pedals organized and portable so I don't have to break down the setup when I'm done.

Four pedals have arrived today, two by post and two by courier. Now I'm just waiting on the two Belcat pedals. The Ernie Ball volume pedal arrived but is not in picture. The Polytune pedal is the most responsive and precise tuner I've ever owned.

It's all a bit messy with cables etc.... This will be sorted out when I find the right pedal board to house them all. The stars of the show are the Micro Pog and the Memory boy. :)

Here is the finished pedalboard. I ended up replacing the Fuzz Face with a Big Muff. It all sits on a Kinman pedal board.case. All I need to do is replace some of the cheap patch cables with higher quality ones and get a proper power supply. I'm pretty happy with my selection though.

Finished building my pedalboard/case this week, still haven't added the power, and patched the pedals, but you get the idea.

Arnold, nice job! I'd like to know what you decide on for power. I'm still up in the air about it.

I'm thinking Probably a Voodoo labs pedal power, and then running a Furman power strip out of it for the mistress and the univibe, and possibly my multi effects board not shown here, depending on the show. Like the Voodoo because it has isolated outputs.

Nice pedal board Arnold. :)

I should have come to you back in the beginning, I love the way you've angled the pedals at the back.

I'm looking at a DC Brick to power my board but they are really expensive. This is something I need to sort out soon as the single Boss power supply and it's daisy chain are giving me some serious background noise.

Torres I've heard not good things about the Dunlop brick,the outputs are not isolated. VOODOO labs seems to get high praise, because each supply is isolated you get good quiet power. I'd save your money, you don't want to cheap out on power after buying all those nice pedals. Keep the noise out of your chain, you will be thankful.
