Hello All !! 
I've been playing live with my current band for almost 8 years now and I've barely changed my setup in that entire time, pedal wise.
A few years back after we starting playing slightly bigger venues [where time is of the essence] I realized that I was having frequent issues setting up since I didn't really have everything prepared. At our last last gig it took me 10 mins to troubleshoot a bad cable. One time, last year, it took over 15 mins and the band started playing without me.
Well, it was time to revisit my rig ...
So I saved a little money to buy some pedals and a pedalboard. After a little research and measuring I found that the Pedaltrain 42 would fit my needs.
Come Memorial Day, here in the US, I had everything I needed, the board, the pedals and time.
So I spent the long weekend with velcro and cables and testing and without further ado, here are the pics ::
The "Before" Picture from a gig
Really not all that bad looking, to begin with
Pedalboard Arrives
Softcase bag !!
Bubble wrap, Velcro and Power Supply
The Pedaltrain 42
Power Supply
=====A Few Crazy Hours of Misconfiguring and Troubleshooting Later =====
The Pedalboard is complete and works without issues
The TOP is the Pedalboard for the Effects Loop , the BOTTOM one goes into the front of the Amp. This configuration seems to work best for my setup and sound
The PINK FLOYD Tin on the left, is my UTILITY box that holds Capo, EBow, extra power cable lead and miscellaneous objects for the gig. I liked the idea of having that on the board itself.

Signal Routing Chain and Components
The Routing follows the order shown below from 3 to 11
Audio & Video Demo
And here is the Video and Audio of my Arpanoid and Subdecay Demo with the Alter Ego and Polara pedals used as well. I've tried to utilize the pedals in the context of a composition / song and not a "look what this pedal can do" Demo. So with that in mind, the video just features Audio Demo's with pictures of the settings on the Pedals, some text and some fractals. Its not a video of me tweaking each knob and playing around to see what I can do with it. There are a lot of great videos on YT that showcase the pedal and their features, so I thought I'd take this appraoch.
Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed it !!
