...& quickly, before Sp8ctre completes his! 
Most of my gear has arrived, awaiting the power brick and one more pedal (a reverb with modulation pedal). It's only a small pedalboard, 6 pedals.
The Warwick Rockboard Duo 2.1 should be ok (just...) for 6 pedals, and the power supply will fit underneath and out of the way. It seems robust and was cheap...
I got the mounting plate for the power brick, two longer MXR cables for the Wampler reverb/delay which I'll put in the FX loop, but I'll need to buy another few patch cables...
My provisional chain looks like this:
I very nearly got the Xotic SP compressor as it's small and very well featured, but decided that I wanted most of my pedals to be quite simple.
The space is for one of these:
...because I felt I needed some modulation and a reverb with more options than the Wampler which is really a delay with a plate reverb underneath.
Thus, the compressor into the TS808 - I'm hoping that these will work well together and get some excellent sounds.
Next is the Rat/Tonebender 2 which I'll probably use without being stacked with other ODs.
Next will be the reverb in front of the amp - hear me out on this... The Marshall has an FX loop bypass switch on the footswitch, so I thought it might be nice to have a footswitchable option between my two core sounds (1: the amp with the Wampler reveb/delay and perhaps the amps boost; 2: my pedal chain). This may or may not work out, I'll just have to check the sounds and see...
Lastly, the Looper/drum machine. I'm not opposed to taking this off the board, adding another pedal, and just plugging it in at the end of the chain when I'm using it.
To the far left is the Wampler which'll be in the FX loop, in theory I can take it off the pedalboard and just sit it atop the amp, but, I'm not sure.
Lastly, there was another pedal I quite wanted which I thought would be nice at the end of the chain if I removed the Looper:
You fellas almost all know more than me, so what advice would you give?
Also, simple stuff, like which velcro should go on the board and which on the pedal? Any tips with patch cables, pedal ties, anything else (especially pedal position)?
I think the board is quite nice and flexible with the holes helping to have a loy of patch cable options:
&, just a by the way, as it's a new amp and lots of new pedals, I will just be doing this bit by bit.
Last night I was using the Catalinbread Katzenkonig with the amp to understand how they work together - fantastically well is the answer.
Today/tomorrow, my plan is to just play with the LP special, the compressor and the Tubescreamer to get some basic sounds down and start enjoying the amp:
Any advice from esteemed members is much welcome.
