NICE Cliff!
I love your looper pedal. I made one of those too but its no where near as compact and nice as yours.
nice vintage mxr effects too!
Eric, I feel like I need the a/b switcher rather than just unplugging because I feel like I have to do it very quickly and without making noise and usually after a few beers.
those pod pedalboards look nice, and i know a guy that uses one and sounds great. but Ive always been a single effect unit kinda guy..im too into very specific sounds i get from certain pedals to go to a multi effect unit. That duncan twin tube for example I cannot do without as its more than just distortion, its a tube preamp.
I love seeing other peoples solutions. thanks so much for sharing!
I wish Perlowin would post his, thats the craziest one Ive seen....
pedalboards...again

Sorry I don't have any pictures at the moment.
I use a (slightly customized) NYC Pedalboard, 15" x 30", with a hinged piece of wood under the actual inside board to give it an angle, similar to a Pedaltrain. The only realistic solution is to use a fold-up table, at a right angle, just to my right.
(Naturally the volume pedal is separate and on the floor). I put most of the pedals in a loop. I have a Quik Stix tray that goes on the right rear leg, just between the steel and the table, which holds 2 distortion boxes, right after the steel, ahead of the volume pedal, then into the amp's front. Powered by a Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2+, and a strip for that and the pedals that have their own power supplies. Obviously not geared for country, so it's only used in one band I'm in, or specific situations. I don't play regular guitar, just an MSA U-12. I also own an Eventide Eclipse rack unit, in a Gator case, but that's really only for the studio.

Since I scaled things down a few years ago, I sold all of my beloved analog stompboxes and replaced them with a Line 6 PODxt Live, which I replaced with the X3 Live - both of these have an external expression pedal jack, and any 250k volume pedal works fine. Not only does your signal not pass through the volume pedal, but you can set the minimum and maximum volume levels for it on the X3. This way I have my floor board near my guitar, with the lap steel plugged into the second input, and the volume pedal wherever I need it. Not analog, but it sounds pretty damn good.
