Finished. Powered by a homemade linear supply fed by a 13VAC wall-wart.

I haven't measured the individual pedal current draw, but the entire board draws 400mA.

Looks like a nice, flexible direct rig!

Indeed. And very nice to see some solid classics on that board.

Just a suggestion for you, Laurie.

Since you have reached almost 10 Boss pedals on your board, why not extend it to 12?

Look for a used Behringer PB-1000.

You would add two more pedals that could expand the fun and usability of your board, like a Harmonist PS-6 and a Synthesizer SY-1, or a Loop Station and a useful noise suppressor or an equalizer. Etc.

The PB-1000 keeps everything neatly organized, no need for velcro and ease to swap pedals. Also easy to deploy and to store when not in use.

For the price of a pedal it is a very pratical piece of gear.

An old pic of mine to ilustrate the idea:
