A nice little video about Holey Boards pedalboards.
Mine should be arriving on Friday. I'll post some pics when I get it assembled \w/

When I was a kid, we had to make those sounds with tin cans and rocks!Breakdown of the signal path for the effects on the board (if anyone is interested):
Guitar>Boss TU2 tuner>Vox Clyde McCoy wah>MXR Micro Amp (clean boost)>>VFE Fiery Red Horse Fuzz>Boss Phase Shifter>>Boss Flanger>Electro Harmonix Electric Mistress (chorus/flanger)>VFE Choral Reef analog chorus (with custom Great White Shark paint job)>VFE Old School Tremolo>Boss DD3 Digital Delay>MXR Carbon Copy analog delay>Electro Harmonix Mini POG (Poly Octave Generator)
I run everything straight into the front of the amp. I've played around with putting the delays and chorus effects into an effects loop but wasn't thrilled with the sound.
There's a lot of stuff on there (and I have some pedals floating around that I didn't put on there) but I only ever use 2 or three at time. The main effects I use are the wah, microamp, and either the Electric Mistress or Choral Reef depending on the chorus effect I want. The delays get used occasionally. For my bands' albums I used the digital delay because we couldn't quite get the sound we wanted with the analog delay. I'm mainly using the analog delay now, though.
I like the individual effects boxes because they are each designed to do a specific thing and do them well. The digital multi-effects units I've seen can do a lot of things but they don't do any one thing well. IMHO anyway.
