You don't need much because the feet hold it in place.

Here's the new one. Just used pine and threw it together really quick with no attention to detail then spray painted it. Not nearly as nice as my last one but this one is much more functional, flexible and room to add more. Need a couple more cables yet. This time I used Dual Lock instead of velcro and its fucking awesome. Super secure and just a little 1/2" x 1/2" piece on each corner of each pedal. The compressor only has two pieces and I can grab onto it and use it as a handle and it will support the entire board! Not that Id carry around like lol.

Thanks. The jig I have is this one, just a little different and older. Mine doesnt have the thing on the top for the clamp to rest in/on and has a different case.

I was at one time. Then just did side jobs with my dad and uncle for years. Eventually I became a glazier doing glass replacement in windows, store front installation and architectural aluminum and glass. When the economy tanked I found a career in a government natural resources type labor gig and eventually worked my way up and became an arborist and now do some cool shit.

I was wondering whether I needed a pedal board but I redid the studio and just shoved them all on the desk. Easier to fiddle with when recording...

Reworked the board again.....I removed the side plank that had the expression pedal on it and moved that pedal onto the main board. I had to make a little riser for it but it worked out ok. I shifted everything over, made things a little tighter and re-wired the whole thing a little nicer.

What's that tiny little square one-button pedal with Saturn on it?

That's a favorite switch for the Strymon. It has a secondary function to create your own preset, save it and toggle between it and whatever you have the knobs set at at the time. Pretty cool. That switch is made by a company called Saturnworks, he makes a bunch of utilitarian pedals and it's affordable.

I won't. I have four now. three are plugged in and and i only use two. One of which is a tuner. the other is a verb and the other is an overdrive for my bass.

yes.

my pedals are dual purpose. bass and guitar both same signal chain. nofucks.jpg

I have like 10 pedals. The tuner gets used. The rest sit there. I have to force myself sometimes to make sure they still work.

lol, but for real, they are just fun. Im not a good guitar player and they do mask playing a bit haha. Luckily delays and reverb suit my playing style so it works. For dirt though I use the amps distortion.
