I just realized how much work has gone into this board...
- BSD/FDD dual - made by me. One off re-house.
- DEM - made by me. One off.
- Strymon Ola - repaired (busted speed pot).
- DD-2 - rescue, I call this pedal "the pig" because of the condition when I got it.
- DD-7 - just a regular, retail DD-7
- Strymon Blue Sky - rescue, the switches and underlying circuit board were trashed.

A spectacular selection of pedals. I really, really like your DingoTone pedals a LOT.

Thank you for the kind words!
I also forgot ... the amp the pedalboard is plugged into is the Fender Hotrod that I did a full recondition on.

Oh, yeah - and the BSD has the mod upgrade:

Awesome!
It's really cool that the vast majority of your signal chain is a result of a ton (or 907Kg) of your DIY expertise!
It has to feel really good to know that if you didn't make it, you brought it back from the dead (or at least limping along) to 110% functionality!

Thanks! It does feel good, but honestly it surprised me.
When I'm doing repairs etc I don't really think about it - it is "sanity maintenance" (my job is all headspace, and the repairs and builds give something tactile). We all share this interest because we get a lot out of it. I'd wager that music and music technology is what keeps many of us "sane" ... or whatever passes for sane
Then when I step back it is "oh yeah, I guess there really is a lot of work that's gone into this"

I totally get it.
Puttering about/tinkering with/modifying/building music gear (and other stuff around the house/yard/cars) is an amazing 'sanity maintenance' (great descriptor) for me, too. It's rewarding. My wife took some time, but gets how this time spent is very important.
Taking that gear and using it to play music with my friends/bands
* is certainly another mind/soul balancer.
*Every band I'm in is populated with great, long time friends. Half of the benefit of band practice or gigs is just hanging out with them.
