    Default Show us your pedal boards!

    Here's a custom pedal board my father and I built to accomodate performing gigs on a weekly basis. I'm able to setup in about 20 minutes now when it used to take an hour. This was a ton of work but the reward was well worth it!

    Like Tremoloman, I was tired of the time it took me to set up all my pedals, so I made my own pedal board with an integrated power strip. Now, instead of hooking up all my pedals individually, I just connect the input and output of the pedal chain and plug in the amp. All the connections between pedals and their power supplies remain connected between sessions. Saves me a ton of time!! As you can see, I have room for expansion, too.

    I'm thinking of redoing it, making a version 2. For some reason, the power strip doesn't have the expansion capability I was expecting and the overdrive pedal seems to be stuck. Could it be the wood? I left it unfinished so it would have resonance and breathe. Maybe wrapping the 12V cable around the wood is creating a reverse resonance field, sucking all the tone from my playing.

    By the way, nice board Trem. It looks a lot nicer than mine!

    Great board, blogan! It has two uses, pedal board, and payment persuasion device at the end of the gig.

    Very clean rig, Robert!

    I can't say that I've given up on a flanger cause I've never liked the effect either. I also can't say the same about Tremolo. I hate them both equally. - Tone2TheBone 2009

    Very ingenious Robert! I only went for a custom built model becuase I have access to a precision sheet metal shop. If it weren't for that I was going to do the same exact thing out of either a hardshell suitcase or briefacse. All the so called "great" ones for sale on MF and such are like $300 and are POS in my opinion. NICE WORK!!!

    I recommend zip tying the wires together and taping them down so they dont get pulled out. I spent a long time routing the wires on mine so I'd never have to worry about a loose or pulled plug ever again.

    I use a power supply from GodLyke that sells for $39.99 and allws you to power up to 40 pedals with it at once! they sell all kinds of different attachments that allow various connectors such as standard BOSS, Reverse polarity, 9V batteries, and so forth. A little investment saves having to deal with 4 power supplies like I used to do. Unfortunately my Hendrix Pedal has its own power supply and can't use it due to the odd voltage. My Danelectro pedal is also an odd one and uses an 18V power pack, hence the 2 power supplies on my board.

    Thanks... but it doesn't matter what it looks like. All that should matter is that it works and you are happy with it. My previous one looked a lot like yours. I used a piece of plywood and just drilled some holes and zip tied the pedals down. It lasted a bit, but then started to break apart.

    I can't put the Wah on my board due to the angle... it messes me up too much.

    SuperSwede, that picture is old - I didn't have the Das Fuzz back then.

    Tremoloman, I could tie them down, I had planned on it, but I keep swapping my pedals out and move them around on the board all the time so I find it easiest to just leave them cables hanging loose like that. Once I get plugged in, I have no problems.

    I changed pedals depending on what kind of gigs I do. I notice I hardly use my Fulltone wah ever more maybe I should sell it.

    This is my main board.
    It goes: Guitar>Rotovibe>535 Crybaby>Boss Loop Selector>DS1>TS9>FL9>DD5>Tuner>amp.

    I'm working on another board that will augment this one and will have an A/B pedal to switch between boards.

    It may go: Guitar>Thomas Organ Crybaby>Tonebone British>DS1>Tone Driver>Phaser>Synth Wah>Loop Station>Amp.

    Spud, you have a real rotovibe?!?! Man I always wanted one of those!!! The Hendrix pedal does emulate it incredibly, but I'd still love the real thing... *drool*

    Just finished my "custom" board tonight. Picked up a $2 suitcase (yes, it really was $2 just like Robert's ), some misc. hardware and went to town.

    The plywood insert is covered in automotive fabric (similar to carpeting and floor mats) that I picked up at a local hardware store for $12/roll. I have lots left over, obviously, if and when this stuff ever wears out. Velcro hooks on the back of the pedals and everything powered up with the good ol' 1-Spot.

    EQ and Chorus are for my acoustic (the red jumper goes to a DI box), RP-80 and Blues O/D are for my electric. The A/B switches the output of my wireless receiver depending on what signal path/guitar I am using. I can switch to the RP-80 and use the tuning feature with my acoustic (handy ).

    I also have the footswitch for my Vox, but if you've read my earlier posts in the "Amps" section, you will know that I won't be using it much live.

    Can't wait to try it out!

    That's cool. It is pretty much the same thing I have done in the past, using two levels. It allowed me to hide and protect the power supply. Later when I reduced the amount of analog pedals I was using I mounted my midi controller on the top row. I no longer use midi and use fewer pedals live. Now my board is much smaller.

    What cables did you use to wire that up?
    Is that a DD5 I see?
