I finally had it with a mess of cables, ground loops and buzz and hum. I purchased this unit to house my TC tuner, MXR equalizer, Resonant Electrics Manifold Drive and Small Hadron Collider, vintage ProCo RAT and Boss CE-2, Boss DD-7 and DD-6 delays, TC Nova delay, Strymon Lex, Mr. Black Eterna reverb and TC Ditto looper. I was able to wire this up so all the drive and EQ was in one loop and the modulation effects are in another loop. I can then either use the drives into the front of the amp, with modulation in effects loop or jumper at the patch bay and run everything into a non-effects loop amp.

I wired it together with George L's cables and, amazingly, it's silent. I've got a Boss noise suppressor on the board that I don't even have to use. The power supply in this thing definitely helps keep things quiet.

I did find that I couldn't power too many effects using a Boss multi-effects daisy chain cable off the 9V 100ma circuits, so I run a number of effects off the noise suppressor. Secondly, there's not enough juice to power the TC Nova delay or the Strymon Lex from the board, so I velcroed down a power strip to the board and used those effects own adaptors. That's the only reason I give the product a 4 star review.

If you've got a bunch of pedals in your signal chain and need something to tame the rat's nest and buzzing, while making it easy to transport, I think this is for you. Be advised, it is HEAVY.
