So, It's been a good 2 months since Matt and I have redone our pedalboards with the PT Pedaltrain series. He posted his right away:

And of course, it takes me forever to post mine!
Well, here it is!!!!!
Here's the layout. I finally decided to go "hard wired", and ditch the George L's. Soldered everything up today with Neutrik Right Angle Jacks, the new series ones, and Canare GS6 cable. It's practically bulletproof now.
Pedals, in order are: Axcess BS2 buffer > Korg Pitchblack Tuner > Crybaby Classic Wah > MaxxPlay rehoused EVH Phase 90 > MaxxPlay rehoused 1982 boss CE2 chorus > Mod50 > Boss DD20 Gigadelay (in parallell loop).
The good part about this setup, is that if I ever want to do a gig with my Randall RM20, all I have to do is remove the Mod50 footswitch, place a few overdrive pedals in it's place, and run a patch cable from the CE2 into the ODs, then plug in the existing Neutrik Right Angle to the last OD pedal (which goes out to the amp input).
I copied Matt's "snake" system, which so far, is working incredible well. Instead of bringing 4 cables to the gig, and worrying about them getting tangled, I have all 4 cables semi-permanently attached to the pedalboard. A Black Canare Guitar-to-amp cable, a blue "send" cable, a red "return" cable, and a smaller black MIDI cable. All kept together with velcro ties.
I used to have my guitar/FX loop/footswitch cables in a snake before, but I'd have to plug them into a 4 x 1/4" jack patch bay. With this system, it's one less step. It's pretty much reduced setup time to under 5 minutes. And when the gig is done, just coil the cable nicely, and place on top of the board, and zip up the gigbag.
On the bottom of the board, I used some adhesive-mounted cable-tie mounting squares, and some zip ties. Keep everything super neat and tight underneath.
All in all, it's a really simple pedalboard setup, but it's perfect for me. Put together with 110% neurotic precision, which is just my style.

Are those Maxxplay re-housings much bigger than the originals?
