What's UNDER ya board?

Thanks. I made some changes this week, I think it is all settled now. I am building a second board (partly visible in one of the photos below) so I bought a second Boss BCK-24 cable kit when I ordered a fret polishing kit and some string cutters recently.

Those kits make 12 cables but I needed 13. So I made do with a TRS cable that I had, but yesterday I replaced that with anotther Boss cable that I made and I will keep the TRS cable as a spare for the one connecting the footswitch cable from my MS-3 to the patchbay.

I also replaced the gasket with the dustcover from my USB port with a plain one because it kept grabbing on the side of my hard case. That gasket will go on the USB port on my new Rockboard Duo 2.1.

And, speaking of TRS cables, I change the 3ft angle to straight TRS cable to my expression pedal to one the same size and brand (HOSA) with angles on both ends last week

Where you helped me with the inspirational pedal board was with the Boss BCK 24 cables but instead of purchasing 3 or 4 of them, I decided to get one pack as a problem solver and use it sparingly. If I don’t do that, I’ll wind up with an amazing pedal board and playing doom metal. ;)

Sincere thanks for the music and the better board ideas.
 
This morning, I took the time to rearrange my pedal board. I'm pulling my OnFloor Audio boost/Distortion unit to sell, and put my Buffer/Splitter under my board to give even more room. Awesome idea!

Now I need more pedals to fill it back up. I may end up removing the Hydra and my Channel pedal once I get more pedals.

My RC-3 was the only pedal on my board that didn't like the daisy chain I had before, so it had to go (I mean the daisy chain of course!).
I did look around at other, more high-end PSU units, but this one has 500mA at all outputs, needed for the ZOOM MS-70CDR.
It was cheap (£42) but works flawlessly.
The wall-wort may get upgraded at some point to one that doesn't need a Euro-adapter for my UK mains.
But having the transformer 'off-board' also means there is no interference picked up in the signal chain.
