My current pedalboard, not including the footswitch for the pod rack. It's not completely hooked up at the moment, so here's a quick description of how the signal path would go normally:

Guitar > MXR Blue Box (mainly straight fuzz tone w/ a bit of sub bass, with the volume set for the venue or song) > Dunlop Dimebag Darrel Crybaby From Hell (set to as wide a sweep as humanly possible, with a bit of EQ tweaking) > Boss BD-2 Blues Driver (Mid-gain overdrive, used as a crunch or boost depending on the amp setting) >

Line 6 Pod HD Pro X (controlled by Line 6 FBV Shortboard, connected by a 20ft cat5 cable)

FX Loop: Source Audio Soundblox Tri-Mod Flanger (set to setting 7, described by SA as "Classic Flanger with resonance, but with an extra delay network inserted into the feedback path, resulting in a more complicated frequency response curve" - in short, it sounds unique and snazzy)> Boss CH-1 SUPERChorus (set as close as I could get it to the chorus tone from "18 And Life" by Skid Row)> Boss TR-2 Tremolo (usually there's a phaser here, but i needed a rapid, kill switch-type stutter effect for a song live)> Boss DD-20 Giga Delay (presets listed in marker on the taped switch: 1."Rhythm" - a Twist delay set to the tempo and tone of "Another Brick In The Wall Pt. 1" by Pink Floyd. When i hold down the bypass switch, it ramps up the delay time and feedback until it creates an oscillating sound. 2. "Solo" - an analog delay sound with a moderate feedback and low mix. 3. "Dual" - a tape delay setting with 2 separate tape heads running at different times. 4. "Reverse" - as the name states. The "manual" setting is set to the delay from "Where The Streets Have No Name" by U2, but i'll usually end up tweaking with it to get warped effects. live.

That'll go back into the pod rack, and then be sent as stereo XLR DIs to the board.

Also worth mentioning, though not part of the signal chain, there's a small fan, about the size of my head, pointing up at where I stand to help keep me cool and stuff. There's also a travel sized bottle of moisturizer on the board that I got at a hotel while touring. You never know when you'll need moisturizer on the road.
