Recessed suction cups?
That's absolute genius, have you just come up with that on the spot doog or is it a system you use?

does anyone know a place to buy 'double sided' suction cups so you can stick them on a pedal and a board?

I'm doing this! (if I can)

this is the case i've got (tiny picture, sorry):

it has the tiered thing which makes the ones at the back easier to reach, and a recessed bit at the side for a power block. you could integrate a daisychain into the space under the top tier easily enough (in fact, i think progrockabuse did that with his). my problem is that it's a bit too small for everything i'd like to get in it, however i suppose that's good in a way because it limits my palette. in fact, when you include my signal splitter, mute switches / tuner i've only actually got 4 effects pedals in it. anyway, i'm digressing...

the patchbay idea is a good one.

On the spot, as a matter 'o fact :)

Definately something to mull on, although I reckon they'd need to be recessed so the pedal sits flush with the board.. and of course, that only takes into account pedals with flat bases.. stuff like Boss pedals could be problematic... hmm..
