The focusrite is good nothing spectacular about it just does what it’s supposed to. For a DAW I run Reaper and Bias FX2 mostly as a IR loader Along with a few other VSTs for mastering.
let's see your pedalboard!

Perfect. Thanks for that. It seems that there are a lot of focusrite available. More so than anything else in my area. It’s nice to know it just works though. I don’t need anything spectacular. Just something simple and easy.
I was also looking at reaper and mural dsp (as they have a cab sim I’m interested in!) reaper certainly gets good reviews.
Thanks for the info.

I didn't expect to love Reaper as much as I do.

I like reaper there is a learning curve to it because of a lack of fancy interface but I like that because it’s not a CPU hog and you can easily run it without buffer issues on a machine thats inexpensive or older.

I think I've found my pedal order....
Twin face, wah, Univibe, tuner buffer, Thumbsucker, Kliche', Awful Waffle, Paragon (high gain into clean boost), out to fox loop in fender then back into Cataclysm delays, first one is slap back and second is long, volume pedal, a/b/y, 1440 lopper and out to two different amps.
I can't thank this forum enough!

Current pedalboard (Pedaltrain Classic 2). Will change in the next couple of days. I recently bought a midi controller to control the DD-200, C4 and future additions. As you can see there's no place for it on the board so I will upgrade to a Novo 24 (same width but a bit a bit more length).
MXR Dynacomp -> Boss TB2-w -> EQD Bit Commander -> Source Audio C4 -> Polytune -> DIY '73 Big Muff -> DIY Friedman BE-OD -> DIY RAT -> Amoon EQ -> DIY VFE Choral Reef -> Ibanez FL9 -> DIY Walrus Julia -> DIY Madbean Wavelord -> Boss DD-200 -> Strymon El Capistan -> Strymon Blue Sky -> from here on the right output goes to a Marshall DSL5CR and the left output goes to -> Digitech Trio + and then to a Boss Katana V1.

Thank you so much! I always envy the nice designs of others here but couldn't do them myself, so decided to go simple.
I love the font though. Its called Johnston and is known for the london underground (tube) signs and the first Marshall panels.

Here is mine, which I just finished putting together about a week ago. All of the pedals are self-built (even the wah, which expression pedal that I converted into a Tearjerker). Probably 3/4 of the PCBs are PedalPCB, with the rest being a mix of AionFX, one Musikding, and one General Guitars.
That big open spot at the top is waiting for an enclosure where I will put a 2-in-1 build of the XC Phase and the MadBean Current Lover. (as you can see, a lot of my pedals are 2-in-1 to make the most of the 10 loops on my switcher).
Because these things are never really done, and because approximately half of my board is currently taken up with various redundant treble boosters, the yellow pedal on the far right is going to come off and be replaced with a compressor - another 2-in-1 mixing the General Tso and the MadBean Kompromat. I’ve ordered the boards and the enclosure and will hopefully finish that up after some travel I have an early May.

Someday, you all might get to see an actual finished pedalboard 
Decided to make it easier on myself, and limit option paralysis / indecisiveness, I'm restricting this board to my favorite digital pedals, and PedalPCB builds (with the exceptions of the Badd Mothafunka and Sonic Reducer)
Using the HX for its effects loop switching and all the effects types that I don't really care about or use but are cool to screw around with, and the looper, which I still need to put more time into learning. The HOG is for the whole wacky drawbar, freeze, gliss, and filter business it brings, and the Ring Thing for it's polyphony and excellent emulation (and expansion) of the Frequency Analyzer
Just waiting on my Cordyceps and Poison Apple boards to get here to finish wiring this one up. And, I kinda want to make room for a (clean) Chalumeau just because it's a fun box
I'll be throwing these on another board with all of my Parasit and LectricFX builds

OK, several changes since the last pic...
Cosmetically, I've painted the board black overall, but with that chequered top... looks great, well worth all the masking tape and scalpel blades, but there was a lot of swearing in my garage that day I can tell you
Secondly, I've done the Mid Boost mod to the BDI21 (see the mini toggle switch) and it has totally transformed it. Gone is the infamous mid scoop, and now it's really useable. I've found I can get a great almost Geddy-like sound with my Sire V7.
The biggest change functionally is that I've gone rechargeable with the power. I've got a Yuer PR-02 velcro'd to the bottom of the board, feeding the various pedals. So far it's done a gig, a band rehearsal and lots of home practice on one charge.
I really am going to leave it alone now, honest.

Changed things up yet again… it’s two homemade flat boards. I had to fab up some hinges myself which was a fun / new experience. Put some holes in to mount my d-panel jacks and got some panel labels from Redco. They work pretty decent, I think! My spacing wasn’t perfect, so the middle jack on each side needed the sides sanded down just a hair. I’m undecided on the unlabeled center jack. Right now it’s connected to the HX Effects expression input so I can connect an external off-board expression pedal if need be. I’m thinking of wiring it up as a second guitar input and then having an AB switch on-board to swap guitar inputs. We’ll see…
As for signal chain, the DRV (Informant) is gone now. Just didn’t use it enough. It’s replaced with my General Tso’s compressor which I thought I could get by without but missed dearly. So it goes input straight into General Tso, then to HX Effects. Protein (Pro-10 Dual) is in one of the HXFX effects loops. I wish it had four jacks so I could control both sides independently… HXFX goes out to timeline, Bigsky, and Tonex last.
Tonex is awesome! My only complaint is that it’s mono input. I like having stereo wet effects for sure, but also generally prefer wet effects into the front of the amp, so I don’t know if it’s better to put wet effects post-amp and keep them true stereo… or wet effects pre-amp and give up stereo wet effects but keep the delay/verb into amp sound that I like. Decisions, decisions…
Also my trusty CS7 that I’ve had for ages has now had two of the outputs fail so I’ve had to be a bit creative with power wiring until I replace it or crack it open to fix or something…

Nothing terribly exotic, it's just a mute pedal with a tuner output. The tuner O/P is switchable between always-on and mute only. The LEDs are green for normal and flashing red for mute.

The only thing that really changes on this board is which delay I'm using at the time (right now it's the Pitch Pirate Deluxe) and if I include the ring mod with the photo resistor (top left) to wiggle my foot over and annoy my band mate/wife. That said, I'm probably going to change out the tap-tempo tremolo (bottom left corner) for a dynamic circuit like the Blue Warbler or VFE Old School.

Thanks! A few are super old (the brown striped box is the first pedal I ever built--a BYOC 250 that I've since tweaked). And a couple are old Fossil watch tins that have held up surprisingly well.
