Your mate’s mate isn’t Dan from That Pedal Show, is he?
@Sparky - actually, ignore the Fuel Tank Jr, it only has 5 outputs and you probably want more, if you add more pedals in future. Check what the maximum current through each output is as well, some pedals (like delays) draw much more than an overdrive. Also, figure out if you need a power supply with different voltage options. Most pedals are 9v DC, but 12, 18 and even 24v are found.
You can see my T-Rex Fuel Tank Jr in the photo above. I’d strongly recommend it. There are cheaper power bricks, but try and get one with isolated outputs to reduce noise to a minimum.
As for pedalboards, the Pedaltrain Metro 20 is good for 5-6 pedals (also in photo).
Please don’t take the messiness of my board as indicative, it’s not properly set up at the moment, and you can get them looking very neat indeed with careful use of cable ties.
