Just curious, have you thought about tolexing it instead of staining it? Yeah it costs more, which won't work if you're super budget conscious for this project, but tolex boards are awesome, especially two toned ones.
Honestly, it never crossed my mind. I just enjoy woodworking and wanted to see some wood grain under a dark reddish brown stain. My other pedalboard is all black and boring as fuck, not to mention messy. I'm probably gonna get some cables with low-profile pancake-style ends, so i can wire the whole thing neatly. I don't gig often enough to warrant a significant investment into a super nice pedalboard.

Current/voltage restrictions mostly. I have a Godlyke Power-all daisychain on my current board and it's serviceable. I'll likely use it until I can save up some scratch for the Volto. TBH I haven't exactly worked out all the details of the power supply. I might just end up getting a full size db11 or Voodoo Labs power supply. Mostly cuz I would much rather be running my EP booster and OCD at 18V. And my TC Nova Repeater likes being at 12V, not 9V. Though if I'm getting a HOF reverb, then that'll change. I still have some pedal and power issues to work out.

That's what I like about it too. And if I come up with a nice mount for it, I can just remove it from the board to recharge it and leave the board at the jamspace. But it's kinda limited in terms of variable voltage supply solutions......................... need to do some thinking and see if I can make it all work. might need to make some compromises.
