Did I Mention the Pedalboard?

It seemed like a good idea: keep collecting pedals until I found a sound I liked that was versatile, a little strange, and kind of classic. Then I found out what a drag it was to have seven pedals to connect every time I took my electric guitar somewhere other than my basement. I’d kept all the pedals and cables in a Bacardi bag that I’m pretty sure belonged to the former drummer of Amnesty Road. And the batteries... do you know how quickly a Foxx Foot Phaser sucks down a 9v battery? And all the other pedals, too. It was already out of control when I started seriously shopping for a solution, and I found one: the Pedaltrain 2 with Hard Case. It was about the right size, although I guess I could’ve gotten a larger one... but these things aren’t light. Then I had to find power, so I went with a BBE Supa Charger, because all of my pedals (except the Morley) were easily powered with this li’l box with a BRIGHT BLUE LIGHT (see photo below). Anyway, I worked on the board for a few hours and was told by several people that I have the pedals in the wrong order, but I like the sound as it is. Feel free to tell me how wrong I am, though, using the link at the bottom of the page. They’re only stuck to the board with Velcro; you can come over and help me fix it your way.
Bonus benefit: I know have a lot of surface area for stickers. More on that in an upcoming post...
