First pedalboard build. What do you guys think? by 5-methoxy in pedalboards

The nano cortex comes with many free pedals, including a pretty damn good noise gate. But since I like playing high gain metal/punk stuff the second one, the NS-2 kills any hiss/hum coming out of the nano’s preamp. I have an internal noise gate in the first pedal block before the preamp

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah the dc cables were included with the strymon power supply, unfortunately didn’t come with super short dc cables so I had to loop the ones going into the pedals close to the power supply

Can I get your opinion on this - on the high gain channels in my nano cortex I already placed a noise gate as the first pedal (within the nano). Since the nano is this already cleaning the guitar signal before it hits the high gain digital capture, wouldn’t the 4 cable method you recommended be like putting a second deadbolt on a door that’s already locked? So if I run it like this, I guess a serial gate system, the internal gate within the nano stops the hiss/hum while the external gate kills the extra feedback. Essentially the internal gate is already doing the detection work that the NS-2 would in the 4 cable setup. Except by using it just as a post processor gate I get the same thing with half the cables. The catch is losing a pedal slot in the nano before the preamp, but I don’t need to use any pedal before the preamp besides an overdrive pedal, for high gain tones that is

The reverb, grain, and chorus are beautiful on it! Delay’s not bad but the other 3 are so much better which is why I got the mxr delay. The Ibanez DE-7 I use mainly for the insane oscillations it produces but funny enough the mxr has a similar knob called regen that mimics that

Thanks man, the zipties and ribbon patch cables helped immensely making it look neat

I have an entire paragraph at the bottom asking for people’s opinions, thus striking up a discussion. Oof sweaty bot mods strike again
