Been planning on getting one of these since getting my Fractal FM9. My last pedalboard was the Trio 28 board, and for the most part I enjoyed working with it.
I've got the FM9 paired with two Mission EP-1s. The metal one is spring loaded and will be my wah, the black is a standard and will be used for Rotovibe and shit like that.
On the right-hand side I've got the Temple IEC and Patchbay modules. I need to put together an IEC extension cable with a removable connector, because an IEC connector doesn't fit through the cable passthrough holes. The Patchbay module has (front to back) instrument input, FX loop send, FX loop receive, and TRS MIDI send. The loop and MIDI will run to my rack, which has a Voodoo Labs GCX and a pedal drawer that will supply analog effects. My DSL100's preamp and power amp sections (loaded down by the Suhr RL) will be independently switchable through the GCX as well, as will the Synergy SYN2 I plan on buying.
On the left-hand side I've some D-panel outputs. Front to back, I have a TRS jack feeding my headphones, a pair of TRS jacks feeding monitors, and a USB passthrough.
Right now I have a pair of Headrush 108s connected to Output 2 on my FM9. I have Output 2 set up with an EQ tuned to the amps to compensate for some boominess. If I find myself living somewhere that I can't blast the 108s, I'll swap them for monitors running out of Output 1, freeing up Output 2 for a second FX loop, which I can add to the board with an additional patchbay module. That's when I can start diving into the world of real rack effects, if I so choose (I'm mainly thinking about grabbing something in the SPX90 family for the Symphonic patch, since doing Symphonic in the FM9 is a huge resource hog).
Still have a couple cables to make, but I'm really happy with this board. Totally self-contained if needed, yet designed for external expansion.

I’m gonna build one….
