Very well put sir. If we don’t pursue and caress our individual interests then who are we pleasing with our chosen hobby? I see the attraction to building a pedalboard, PSUs, guitars, synths, amps (built two), etc. and hope to pursue some of them one day as time permits.Being a hobbyist is a weird thing sometimes. You can geek out and be very particular about certain things.
Like the planning and design aspects of PCBs, enclosures, etc. I get a big kick out of laying things out neat on the pedalboard, ziptie and mounts, etc.
It also helps to not have to move the damn thing ever, as I've now gone back to the big board design...
The schedule you have the least control over in life is your own time.

Gotta say, I dig GigRig's stuff. Got their Wetter Box and absolutely love it! It's a critical piece of gear for my rig. Can't do without it.

Touche touche! LOL!Oh come on Jeff, people will run 4 overdrives that are modded Tube Screamers all set to sound the same but sweat two taps to the run best analog delay made? If it's your sound you make sacrifices. How big a pedalboard are ya'll using? Does any one play guitar or just effects

Ditto here. I obsess about it. In fact, I'm fixing to rearrange my pedalboard...like for the 4th time in the past year alone. Why? Cause I'm not satisfied. I'm a mad scientist and I have to mess with things. It's what I do. I actually come from a keyboardist background so I sort of approach the guitar like it was a synthesizer. So, yeah, pedalboard never finished!Being a hobbyist is a weird thing sometimes. You can geek out and be very particular about certain things.

Seconded, I have zero regrets about upgrading to a gigrig power supply. Great products.

I went from a Strymon to Gigrig power supply and love it so far. The only down side is its impossible to get in Canada. Luckly I do a lot of work in Europe so always try and pick some bits up on my way through.
Am currently getting a generator bracket made up for my board to make it more appealing to my OCD.
Have been looking at their switchers too......... out of my budget and playing ability at themoment though.
