I received benecol's Memory Boy and Moog expression pedal today and have been messing around with them this evening. Lots of fun, but going to need to spend a lot more time with them.
Anyway, rather than move my pedaltrain around, there were a couple of my other pedals I wanted to play with again so I built a second board out of my currently unused pedals and put them on the Diago showman.
Here goes:
In the bypass loop: Behringer Slow Motion - Boss HF-2 - Dano Tunamelt
Big board and little board:
What I want to do is move it around so that I can use the bypass loop to link the 2 boards together if I want to for ultimate excess!
cavalcade of the unloved off to the side. i wanna get the great destroyer back on my board but it's very picky about what other pedals are in the chain.
haha note the arion tuner velcro'd to the side of my board in that second photo.
What happened to the Harmonic perculator?

is there a backstory w/ respect to the green knobs on the TGD?
nope, i was just ordering some pots and i decided to get a bunch of random stuff while i was ordering.
i got the blue knob for the saltbooster then too. while i like the blue knob the green knobs don't look too great, i'll probably put the originals back on at some point
they're not as bright as they seem in that photo though. they look really garish there.

Besides blinding lights. Basically everything was silhouetted but I was still able to find my way around it alright. Clutter has never been an issue for me, I stomp the shit out of my pedals, not my cables.
Sounds like we need to add some USB lights to your board Isaac.

left switch- normal clean/crunch from amp
centre switch - reverb on / off
right swtich - takes my ocd in & out of the loop, and over rides first switch.
basically it's so I can go from clean / crunch / overdrive from one click of the button, but when overdrive is operation I may need to switch clean / crunch on or off depending on the sound I wish to return to... but I'd probably have a whole section of the song to do that in.
This pedal has been really really useful, and make things that little bit easier.

clevah.
Well yes, but he has to switch the "OCD off" Amp State to Dirty when he's doing his Clean->OCD thing and then when he disengages the OCD with one switch we'll go to Dirty channel at the same time.
To do the thing you describe would involve expensive 4DPT switches.
I used genuine bicycle chain links, but you'd need chain splitter in order to prize the links apart... and the cheap ones break quite easily !! Fortunately I used to restore bikes so I had this stuff sitting around going to waste. The only thing I needed to buy was some small screws.
You can now buy official pedal board gubbins for doing this and it seems pretty inexpensive to me...
You would also need to be sure the base of your board is wooden, and your pedals need to have the appropriate screw holes etc. Some only have ones at the top for example, but I have a few tricks for getting around this so I may be able to help. I used an TKL board which was around £40. A Diago board would also work nicely, but shame to start screwing holes into something so fancy.
I have a bag of those bike links (and the screws) I think there's enough for about 10 pedals, if anyone want's them they can have them for a couple of quid (just to cover the postage) ...or I'll swap them for 2 white MXR/mustang type knobs!
