The other way of doing it would be to use zip ties

You're going to need velcro to attach the plates to the pedals, yeah?
They have something like a 3M adhesive on them. You can get replacement adhesive pads too.
The plates attach with an adhesive patch. Replacement patches are $1.29USD, so the plates (aluminum) are reuseable.

Hey sorry I didn't see this earlier, I knew about them when I had it but just used Velcro anyway since it wasn't being moved around at my house. There also extra braces if you feel it needs more support in places.
and to stay along with the thread this is what I was playing today

Extra braces would be nice, since I have to squash the Wah pretty hard...good idea!!!

I realised that I hadn't made a chart for my current board. It is pretty simple.
This is the simplest pedalboard layout I have had for many years

I still don't have a "board".
I still don't have many pedals.
My last post ITT, I had a tuner, a wah, and a Friedman BE-OD. That was it, and I was happy with it. Still am, for that rig, which is a DSL100H. Things have slightly changed. Now I have a Friedman JJ Jr., and my "board" now looks like this:
I don't need the BE-OD anymore because the JJ Jr. already has that sound right there in the amp itself. I did get a new EQ pedal, LRT is just going to keep my old one, and I decided to play around with the chorus pedal a little bit one day and kinda liked the way it very subtly added a bit of dimension to the sound, so I kept it out, and stuck it, and the EQ, in the loop of the JJ Jr. So far, so good.
Anyway, I'm thinking about throwing something together for some kind of board because even with only 4 pedals, as you can see, there is a mess of cords and cables and it looks terrible lol
We've been working at cleaning up the jamroom. Ran all the speaker/xlr's/anything that doesn't need to be on the floor, is now run up the walls and along the ceiling to their respective places, nice and out of the way. Except for my rat's nest that is 4 pedals lol

New addition tonight. Had to shuffle things around to mount the Lehle SGos A-B-Y box which eliminated my persistent 60 cycle hum issue when running two amplifiers.
Signal chain is:
Tuner ---> Wah ---> ABY Box Input ---> ABY Box Output 'A' ---> TS-9---> Primary EQ ---> Compressor ---> Noise Gate ---> Front of Ivanberg Modded Marshall Origin 50
Boss FV30L----> FX Loop Send ---> Chorus ----> Secondary (Solo Boost) EQ ---> Delay ---> Reverb Pedal ---> FX Return of Ivanberg Modded Origin 50
ABY Output 'B' to Blackstar ID-Core 100watt Solid State Amplifier for "Cleans Only."

Nice board Robert but the signal chain at the bottom confuses me. The FV30L is first in your effects loop, right? So it should read "Boss FV30L----> FX Loop Send ---> Chorus ---->"?
One thing I always recommend is some kind of patchbay or patchbox ... it just makes routing cables to and from the board a lot easier. For example this one, which has five TRS through jacks, an XLR through jack, and AC and DC through jacks for power. https://shop.warwick.de/en/rockboar...d-1-v2-all-in-one-trs-xlr-iec-barrel-patchbay
The front plate on it comes off so that you could put velcro under it and mount it on top of your board in front of the volume pedal. With the front lined up to the front of the board you can hang right angle jacks down along the front. I recently modified our lead guitarists board this way, using an old patchbox of mine with one bad jack (it was a four jack one and we only needed three). It made routing his effects loop and input cables a lot cleaner. I also have my footswitch cable going through my patchbay, as it is a TRS cable.

That's how I have it hooked up. The FX loop send and return have colored cables so I don't mix them up.
Nice suggestions! Thanks for the link and details!

No worries. Those Rockboard patchbays are out cheap here this week, if any Australians are interested. Swamp is having a sale. I think they are around AU$70
That's Boss....

The landscape of this board hasn’t changed in a while.
I bought a used Trio and footswitch last year but haven’t spent any time with it. How do you like yours and how do you use it?

I love it.
I used it to work on backing tracks for whatever chord progression.
I haven’t really used the loop feature on it much. Mainly use it to practice timing.
I have a few YT videos with the trio playing in the background
