Premier Guitar seems to be running late, so here's my "Rig Rundown" for my Yudi and the 50 Gates pedalboard.

The pedals are mounted onto two wooden panels by screws. I got this idea from Oliver Ackerman (Death By Audio, A Place to Bury Strangers). Beyond that, I couldn't find a good layout with any of the pedals in the back row, so I put them all in a single row. It's on two boards because it makes the rig easier to use and pack up.

Looking at the signal chain, it seems that I have an FX loop inside an FX loop inside an FX loop.

The Golem (my modded Ric) > custom controller pedal > noise gate > A/B switcher (with FX loop) > reverb > back to the custom controller pedal > back to the guitar for master volume, and then the outgoing signal is split to go into a Trace Elliot and directly into the soundboard with XLR.

The A/B switcher FX loop switches between the Atreides and the rest of the pedals (Pitchfork > Terraform).

The Terraform> has its own FX loop, with The Crushinator prototype and a DOD FX96 Echo FX.

The dual expression pedal is hooked up to the Pitchfork and the Terraform. That's where about 75% of my weird comes from.
