It is a flat trash board from trailer trash. I carry it in a factor bag designed for small mixers. It is super well padded and fits it like a glove

Very interesting. I'll have to look into those for my future rig!

It was my board for my Mfc set up. I wanted to use a PT but do not care to much for the incline of the pressure it puts on encoders

Got my custom Temple Audio board in. I got it wired up after the pic. I love this concept for a board.

I love the concept of the temple board audio , but it scares me the idea that it may be too flexible , especially in the middle . Many users have complained of this

I haven't noticed that at all so far. They have a brace in the middle of the boards now

My rig

 

[GibsonLesPaul]

Finished now with all connections and external pedals:

Board is bought at Thomann, EUR 149. Comes with hardcase with handle and wheels.
Bought the combination pack with powerplant, for EUR 16 extra.

See details: http://www.thomann.de/nl/harley_benton_pb1000.htm

Measures: 60 x 40 x 11 cm
The case itself is somewhat bigger (62,5 x 41 cm). Good because my pedals and AX8 hangover 1 cm on both sides.

Weight of the board: 4.6 kg

@Fretburner

Looking great!!

I got a 60x31cm (pedaltrain2 size) board. How large is yours?

I can't decide if buying Mission or Fractal expression pedal. I'm afraid the Fractal is a bit too long.

The problem most people have with the fractal is width not length. It a bit longer than an Ax or MFC. On a PT2 end to end people have put an Mfc (ax) and 2 mission pedals. Two ev1 would not fit on a pt2 with an Mfc (ax)

Thanks for your kind reply. I will mostly use the AX8 without a pedalboard, straight on the floor, bringing it to gigs and rehearsals with a soft gig bag. But for biggest gigs and van transport I'll use my flight case.

Thanks for the advice, I'l buy a couple of Mission pedals.

I've got my MFC on a PT2 with two EV-1s...

 

[JJ-LP]

I've had many different rigs....this tops them all...!!!!

FRFR Speaker, Les Paul Traditional, AX8, Decimator II, Fractal Pedal for WAH or VOL or both. All cable tied to a Holy Board.

 

[john_p]

That's a nice simple rig. How are you finding the Friedman? A lot of reviews I've read prefer the atomic clr but I'd be interested if you compared them?
Do you need the decimator? Plenty of noise gate options in the ax8 as good as the Dec is.

How much over hang do you have? I assume the pedals are basically touching each other

This is the most recent picture I've got to hand right now. I can take a close-up if you'd like?

I don't need it but that is very cool that that all got crammed in there

There's a bit of overhang on either side, but as I use a Mono case for it, it doesn't really matter. I've got size 10 (UK) feet and access to both pedals isn't an issue.

My First show with this rig (second with the AX8)
Im a gear freak .... But this is the first rig after a show i didnt start looking for something else. Im never happy with a "live tone"! This rig was amazing together, wasnt too bad loading in and out (the Friedmans are heavy and the handles are in a awkward place)
Used Mokes presets (tweaked for my fingers)
