The Dumbloid easily threw the PDF-1 off board.

I need to do some serious cable management, but this is what my office pedalboard looks like so far. I may need to get some additional cables as well.
I like the BD-2W with both channels so far (particularly channel two), whereas I prefer the SD-1W with channel one. I may swap out the SD-1W and try the DS-1W to see how it reacts as a boost.
I'm not hating the size of the CBM95 Cry Baby Mini, but I need to pull the rubber stoppers and shorten then so it's not such an irritance to turn the wah on and off.
The Peterson Strobostomp HD is cool, but will take some getting used to. I plan to mess around with sweetened tunings at some point, as well.
Still experimenting with whether I use the Send output or balanced output on the IR-X. Otherwise, I'm enjoying it with the little bit I had to experiment with it last night. I will likely get a short MIDI cable so I can switch channels with the Boss MS-3.

What's the EMG box doing?

Seems cool
ES-918
The ES-918 is an external 18 Volt power supply for EMG Pickups. If you have an instrument that doesn’t fit a battery or you don’t want to install a battery in your guitar, the ES-918 is perfect for you. You can easily power your EMG pickups with 9 or 18 volts using a stereo cable. In addition...

Neat.
But can you guess what would ultimately happen to Mr. Franck?
I'd pack for a travel gig (hence grabbing the board without this thing on) and still have the EMG guitar without onboard batteries with me.

Here’s my mini board, my first ever that I built up during last year. Since it’s one of those expandable boards I can pull it out and put my HX stomp plus extra foot switches on it as well.

You had a pedalboard for your pedalboard for your pedalboard...
I'm just about at the point where I am going to rip off the GR switches along the front row that never get used and put the Stomp in it's place. Or grab an XL which will fit like a glove in that spot and allow for more switches (provided I can get them to do what they want)

As stated above, it is a battery power box. I plan to try it with my Truetone CS7 or CS12 (on my bigger board) to see how it does at 18v from the power supply rather than batteries.

Sounds easier than the higher voltage mod battery I hobbled together when I had an EMG 81-7/707 loaded guitar. I enjoyed the increased headroom but it was finicky. Plus with that box I guess you can actually leave the guitar plugged in without dead batteries!

If you used the adapter or power supply on the board. The TRS cable stays on when plugged into a guitar, but turns off when you disconnect the guitar. The only thing I dislike is that the jacks should be on the opposite sides.

Can you run a plain passive guitar through the same cable without bypassing the unit?

I usually use my IRX for direct recording. But I put this together just for kicks to try through my Katana 100w combo effects return and it kicks massive ass butts!
Also, running the BossEQ200 EQ A pre gain and EQB as post gain (actually post IRX send in this case) is pure magic.
And I usually like all fuzz first in chain but placing that FZ1W post my drive pedals is like having a Godzilla monster tone fuzzy boost of Sonic doom.
This is seriously making me question using my tube combos live.

I've never tried. I just unplug it and run into the tuner.

What channel of the IR-X do you run the Guv'nor into? Also, tell me more about how you use the Boss EQ-200?

I was asking because live that'd be a bit too much. I'd rather just mute and flip guitars.
