For Mr Grumpy: my current pedalboard configuration

I think you would be much happier! And it would be less to move. I have a Gator board and it tucks in the gig bag it came with nicely if I want to go anywhere.
Give me minute and I will get you links to the daisy chain. I may actually have a couple around here. It's always good to have an extra, like patch cables they can go bad for no apparent reason. I haven't had a daisy go bad but the singles out of my power supply I have.

Thanks!!!!

This is the board I have....http://www.guitarcenter.com/Gator/GPT-Pedal-Tote-Pedal-Board-with-Carry-Bag.gc

same board but with power supply included...http://www.guitarcenter.com/Gator/GPT-PWR-Powered-Pedal-Tote-Pedal-Board-with-Carry-Bag.gc

This is great to have as a visual. I am seeing a couple of issues with my current setup. The volume pedal needs cable to run all the way back to the amp, under it and up into the effects loop, so those cables need to be straight on the amp and 90° on the pedals. My A/B box, which serves to permit me to switch between the 6 and 12 string necks with a footswitch, also need to run cable all the way from the pedal to the amps.

I see one of these is going to be necessary...

Ok....

My chain is confusing but I think I might have it down in my head:

6 String Guitar Signal Chain - Guitar 6 String Input - Korg Tuner - Ports 1a & 1b of A/B Box - Boss CS-3 - Marshall DSL40C Input

12 String Signal Chain - Guitar 12 String Input - Ports 2a & 2b of A/B Box - Input of Marshall VS265

Effects Loop Signal Chain - SEND into FV30L Volume Pedal - Boss DD-3 RETURN into rear of DSL40C

And I will need to have space for my DSL40C footswitch - I really never use gain on the 12 string, so I don't need the VS265 footswitch.

Did I get this order correct???

This was my setup last year. Everything is just Velcro-ed down. Very flexible in its layout. It all fits in a carry case.

With some email help from Bill Blatter of ISP Technologies I managed to correct the fault in my Decimator G-String II and it's back on my pedalboard.

Hello. This is Bill at ISP. There might be a simple fix for this. If you already have the pedal out of the pedal board, remove the floorplate on the G String and look at the Dec In jack. Sometimes this jack may get loose and rotate where the tab the red wire is soldered to (signal line) intermittently touches the inside of the chassis. Unscrew the jack from the chassis and rotate the jack 90 degrees. You can bend the one unused tab (with the heat shrink) back to clear the inside of the chassis. Once that is done , retighten the nut. I've seen this before. If this is not the problem , then replacing the Dec in and Dec out jacks would be the next step.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

His assumption was correct and his suggested remedy was effective.

Note also that the TE-2 Tera Echo has knocked the RC-1 Loop Station off of my board.

That layout is really neat! Is it a program?
 
It's called Click Charts

Note also in the chart that I have moved the EVH Phase 90 from the effects loop to the front end, first after the tuner and ISP front end. It makes the phase effect more controllable and gives me more usable range
 
Same as before, but the RE-20 has booted the DD-20 from the board.

I just figure that I was only using the tape emulation on the DD-20 (given that I have two delays on the board besides that one) and the RE-20 does a better job of that than the DD-20's tape mode. I will put the DD-20 on the bass board that I am slowly putting back together because I will need a versatile delay unit there. Only issue on the bass board is that I might not have a big enough power supply there for the DD-20

Well, Dave....I may have signed on with another band. If that works out, I will likely condense everything, as I won't be playing metal. So, the attenuator won't be needed, (???) and I will most likely just run my CS-3 compressor and DD-3 delay along with my FV30L volume pedal.

So, the CS-3 seems to sound best in "front" of the amp with the DD-3 in the loop along with volume pedal.

So volume pedal before delay...right???
(As not to cut the tails off? )

Where would you recommend the noise gate??? Up front or???
