The link things from Johnnyshredfreak are hardly but expensive, but if you can get your hands on some old bike chain that's not being used, that'll work too.

If you're comitting to a board, ditch that power supply and buy one of the Johnny Shredfreak ones - 'quiet enough' isn't quiet enough, in my opinion: there have been a few pedals lately you've complained of being noisy.

Suppose if I'm going be building the board, I should go the whole hog and incorperate a better supply.
Not fussed about allowing for and extra pedal, still got the big kinsman if I need it. Just a little board for little pedals will be all good.

I'd defintely change your supply like Tim suggested, and the JSF are cheap and totally worth it.

Yep yep - I had a Onespot, which I think the Carl Martin is just a rebadged version of, and it gave me loads of gyp noise-wise, but the JSF supply is ace.

Duly noted and ordered. Gonna stick it between the hotcake and tuner, portrait.
In regard to patch cables, might just keep the ones I've got. Nothing wrong with them.

If you're building one stick it under your board like Owen did with his diago. They're pretty much the same size.

It would appear the Johnny Shredfreak, as well having the worst brand name ever, is identical to the Diago, which costs about three times the price.
