For those of you who have a lot of pedals and/or flat rack processors, how do you organize them for easy access and changeability ("Ok, today I'll give my RP200 a try..... No wait I can't, the bloody ME50 is in front if it so there's no room for the cables!") - how do you get around these problems? I have several items which absolutely have to be on the floor (An RP200A, ME-50, FC6 for the Korg A3 and various stomp boxes. Also a footswitch for the V-Amp 2), while others can be places on top of something (The Korg A3 and the V-Amp 2 both have detachable footswitches). I'm trying to reassemble my rig at the moment so that deciding to try a different effect doesn't have to be a big deal. The last time I set this up I had everything lined up in two rows on the floor but it just discouraged me from ever changing the order or anything because it was so awkward to rearrange the cables when needed, and then you had the issue of a cable running over a pedal on the second row and blocking the expression pedal, etc...
That kind of solutions did you guys come up with for this problem, since a lot of you seem to have very impressive rigs?
I've always loved the idea of a true bypass system which you plug every stompbox and processor into, then that controls the order and which pedals are on or off (I think edge has an old Boss FCC to do this) but there don't seem to be any modern versions of this and the FCC is out of production. MIDI central control is no problem but obviously with stomp boxes that's not possible...
So basically, two questions. 1, is there any kind of furniture I can get which is designed for holding guitar effects in an easy to access manner, and if not how did you solve these problems?
2, is there any kind of central foot pedal board I can use, like Edge's Bradshaw, except that it can also control non MIDI pedals?
