It does sound good and it's great when you finish a project that works out well. Best wishes on finishing it!

im thinking of buying a daisy chain adapter set. so i can power all my pedals with 1 adapter. and maybe a light on it and im also thinking of drilling holes in the board when i get the pedals where i want them and fed the cables through the holes. make it look neater. and thoughts? and i dont know why people go out and spends hundred of dollars on a pedalboard when i did it for nothing, the adapter cost $40 and the power bar was free at a yard sale.

Very cool. I made one years ago, from a pine plank in the garage, a powerstrip, and some extra wood trim molding. Some small holes with black zip ties hold things in place, and the dollar store rubber door mat keep things from sliding around.

Sorry, I know it's off topic... but I just had to say "Hi" BTWade. You're the first Newfoundlander I've run across here. My family was originally from Newfoundland. (Exploits/Burnt Island in the Twillingate area) ANYWAY... I just wanted to send out a big Newfie "Hello" to ya!

Now back to our regularly scheduled thread already in progress.

I have a lot of stuff but don't use most. What I'll put on the pedal board is....

Morley Bad Horsie 2 wah
Boss TU-2 Tuner
Boss PH-3 Phaser
Boss DD-6 Delay

That's used by my custom 98 mia strat, running into Mesa Boogie Rectroverb combo amp. Great rig.

I'll used this pedal board with my other rig too if needed: 94 MIM strat and 91 Fender Super amp.

I still have the first one I ever built, still holding up strong. The rubber on the top was some "shelf liner" I had around the house that has worked well.

For power, the Visual Sound 1-spot also works just fine, there are plenty of adapters...

And since you brought it up, I got a ME-20 that I wouldn't want to be without.
