Step 3Insert Pedals to Complete Board
1.) Place the pedals in the briefcase however you desire.
2.) Connect the pedals with 1/4" guitar cables, making sure to be aware of the input/output of each pedal. The right angle cables are great for the cable going from your guitar into the briefcase and the cable going to your amplifier from the briefcase.
3.) Connect the pedals to the Dunlop DC brick using the power plugs that came with the DC Brick.
Some hints:
a.) Route your power wires and 1/4" guitar cables wisely to reduce the risk of snagging them with your feet or between the movements of pedal presses.
b.) Note how the Flanger and Distortion pedals in the briefcase face each other. This allows the user to easily turn both of the pedals on with one foot press. It is also easy to turn on just one of the pedals.
c.) Performing bare foot helps because shoes are clumsy when stomping on effects pedals.
d.) Add stickers to the side of the briefcase that faces the audience to make your political statements and agendas known.
Possible Improvements
a.) Could try to design my own power supply to decrease cost. The DC brick is a high quality power supply able to deliver 1.0 A of current to your collective pedals.
b.) Have more pedals? Try building multiple briefcases and just connecting them after they are open.

How on earth do you use the stomp boxes pedals though? Is it easier than it seems, as it looks rather tricky. If it's easy I may do it myself, as I have about 9 pedals... I think I'd need a bigger brief case than yours though :D
