    My latest pedalboard version. Re-did it all using 3M Dual-Lock (the stronger adhesive version). Expensive stuff (much dearer than Velcro) but worth it. I was fed up with the Velcro peeling off the base of the pedals over time. This stuff is a lot more secure and there's also no play when the pedals are stuck down.

    I also made up all my own patch leads. I had been using George L's patch cables, but having the need to make some new ones up found that they were a) unreliable and b) had varying resistances on the signal core from between 0.3 ohms to near 100 ohms (generally in the 10 ohm region). So they went in the bin and I soldered up my own, all with 0.1 ohm (the lower reading my multimeter will give) connections.

    The Nano Big Muff is the latest addition and replaced a couple of Andertons' Tone City drive pedals as I had ended up with 4 pedals all sounding very similar to one another.

    The Line 6 Echo Park has also reappeared and replaces a TC Flashback, as the L6's tap tempo is a lot easier to use than the Flashback's strum tempo feature. The Korg Pitchblack Mini replaces a TC Polytune Mini that I really didn't like. The poly mode gave different in/out of tune readings to the individual note mode, and the individual note mode kept swapping to the poly mode even though being very careful to just sound one string.

    (Apologies for the poor picture).

    Good tip - might go buy some tomorrow. Nicely arranged board too.
