After weeks of thinking, googling, and scrounging for supplies, I thought I was ready to build my pedal board. The original idea involved a wire closet shelf, a piece of 2x6, a pice of 1x2, a few screws and lots of duct tape. I was going for a total found object board. Once the time came to put it together I realized it was not as sturdy as I thought and started to rethink things. Thats when a Gator GPT Pro popped up on the local classifieds and I snapped it up.

It comes with a bag for easy transportaion!

As you can see, there is still alot of room. I have plans for at least 3 more pedals, a tuner, a delay and possibly a compressor. I still need a couple of cables to finish off the signal chain. I put velcro over the rubber bottoms, and so far so good, but it pulled off of the Bad Monkey, so I removed the rubber bottom. I will remove the bottoms if I encounter more issues

I've been so pedal and pedal board obsessed lately, even my kids are getting into it. They made me some pedals for my new board!

Nothing beats that vintage Lego tone!
Good luck with your board. Putting together the perfect pedal board is a near endless pursuit. Usually only slowed by a wife finding out that not all of the pedals cost $59.

It looks like I'll be picking up a used Boss TU 2 tuner after work today. One more spot filled!

I am getting major noise from my Dano Cool Cat Distortion (red). It has a hum and loud hiss when engaged, especially with the wah.
Current order is:

Tuner, wah, Bad Monkey OD, Cool Cat Dist, Classic Fuzz, EQ, Volume, Chorus, tremolo, echo.
I recently added a Boss TU 2 tuner in position one. The noise was going on before the addition of this pedal.
I pulled the Cool cat and put it right after the tuner and removed the wah. Still noise. Pulled the power supply off and put in a battery. Still noise. When i removed the wah, it quieted a bit but it is still there.
The noise is so pronounced that I can not use single coils what so ever and if I tap on the pich up switch, I get noise, on multple guitars and 2 different amps. The amps are in two different houses.
Does this pedal just not get along? When I just had the wah, Dano Fab OD, Cool cat and fuzz, I never had any issues that I can remember.
