Hiya!
As above, would like a pedal board as things are getting a bit unwieldy when packing up for jams.
Needs to accommodate:
Dunlop Mini Wah.
Full sized Big Muff.
Orange 2 channel foot switch.
5 Boss sized pedals, which will probably grow to 6 or 7 at some point!
I have a brick sized power supply (Powerbank DC9), only 5 outputs so currently using a daisy chain.
So, do I just stump up the cash for the relevant Pedaltrain, or can you recommend a possibly cheaper alternative?
Should I be looking at upgrading the power supply first and eliminating the daisy chain?
I'd prefer wood for aesthetic reasons, but appreciate the advantages of a welded metal structure.
And if anyone could point me in the direction of a helpful guide to cabling and set up, that would be lovely.
Thanks in advance and best wishes for the new year to all.
Pete.

might save some cash later on.
Measure the size you want & B&Q will cut it for you, velcro tape the pedals on.
If the board becomes too small or too large for your liking just get a new one without having £'s invested in it
Another vote here for the Harley Benton Spaceship range: I have one (haven't actually set it up yet), and it's very well made
Re: OP I got a cheap gorilla brand pedal train copy and it weighs a bloody ton. Pedal train is just way lighter. Also if you're using a soft case the knobs get moved around so I would recommend a hard case unless you're a public transport warrior
Supportact said: [my style is] probably more an accumulation of limitations and bad habits than a 'style'.
No hum issues with the supply, fingers crossed.
Pedals are currently:
Dunlop Mini Wah.
SD1.
Big Muff.
CE5.
DD7.
Behringer Tremolo.
RC3.
Plus the amp foot switch.
I can see myself adding a tuner, possibly another overdrive or distortion and will need room for a reverb if I change amps, but that's definitely it for the time being.
I think I'll sort the placement, power supply and cabling out first, get the positioning right then choose or make a pedalboard to suit.
Many thanks for all your help.
Pete.
