That's awesome. I love the Dr. Sci and Moogerfooger sections and how they play nice together.

Part of me wants to wire it up but the logical part of me has no clue how to power the damned thing...I just thought it would be neat to see what would fit.

I'm probably the biggest proponent of top-mounted jacks I know and THAT photo is just DELICIOUS.

Without wires you can pack side mounted pedals this close too ;) . Wire it up!

This will get you pretty damn close, might require a daisy chain or two....

That might handle the moogs and dr sci stuff but then the space and timeline would be left out. I think if I got a voodoo labs digital + my pp+ that might be able to do it.

I ran a Timeline and Space off a Cioks DC10, the 9V and 12V 400mA outs. All good.

But yeah, you gotta lot to consider there.

Not bad! Now if only you could trade your Timeline for the new Moog delay, you'd be all set.

I honestly don't think I'd buy a pedal that doesn't have top mounted jacks now to be honest. It didn't used to bother me when I just had all my pedals spread out on the carpet, but now that I'm using a pedalboard my pedals that have side mounted jacks are really bothering me, so much wasted space.

That feeling when you have a pedal in a 1590a that has both jacks mounted on the same side...it's kinda top mounted? But it takes up waaaaaaaay more space than it should.
