Hey @Tadpui, remember this?

(A a side note, I see you've got the same pedalboard I've got...lol)

Hahaha and I thought that the manufacturer told me that mine was a one-of-a-kind pedalboard! Well I've got some words for that guy...

I spent the weekend (a few weeks ago) puttering away at the garage workbench, and upgraded; "N"ew "P"edal-"B"oard "D"ay, I guess:

You have a lot more pedals to put on, right?

[SweetDan]

A few more, but I have a cheap-o 5-plug daisy chain power supply, so I need to up my game there before adding the rest of the pedals.

Re: pedal power. I can recommend the Harley Benton power brick from Thomann. Mine has been great. It lives on the underside of my board.

This one:

they even do a 12 tap version:

Nice. I wonder if they make a wall-plug adapter for US plugs and voltages...

I would suspect if you just got a 12v 3A adaptor for your countries supply voltage you would be golden? Maybe just drop them a line and ask. I do that quite often for tools and stuff I buy. Mostly they will say yes but its POM to get it confirmed.

Nice work! That looks like it was a fun project, and it came out great!

[WhiskeyJack]

I like it @SweetDan !! Simple. I need sometihng similar for myself. I may kind of rip off your design a little bit. One my shops exits it deep freeze i have so much to do hahah!!!

[Lt. Bob]

you have room for at least 5 more pedals ..... get to buying!

[SweetDan]

Thanks @Tadpui and @WhiskeyJack. I ripped the "design" of the board off this video, but left off the extra wood pieces on the sides:


(Yay! Video links work again!)



@Lt. Bob - I have more pedals (got on a DIY pedal kick a while ago, ended up building 11 or 12), but have only 5 power plugs; I need to upgrade the power supply before I can load more up.

[JD01]

Dan, just looking at that board it looks flat. Can you angle the sides? Will make your pedal tap-dancing much easier.

Mine is a similar design but i've cut the sides at an angle. Also - at the recommendation of @liv_rong who is a home pedal board design genius (among other studio carpentry) I installed a little patchbay in the back which makes life easier and tidier when recording in a small space.

Mine was just out of scrap wood from some old pallets. I'll take some pics now.

[JD01]

Here you go - The power supply I recommended lives underneath.

Yes, it's angled, just hard to see from the POV in the original photo. It's got little legs in the back. Here's a side-view (and the worst of the unfortunate chipping in the wood when I attempted to counter-sink the screw holes):

Nice board! I want to build a new one once the weather warms up a bit.

[Lt. Bob]

I've decided my next board has to have a higher level for the pedals in the back ...... I'm tired of stepping on the knobs of the ones in front

That right there is a legit gripe. When I mess with other people's big fancy pedalboards my feet always clank into the bottom row of pedals before getting to the top row.

[JD01]

If I was building my board again now I'd definitely put the back row at a higher level so I don't either turn off or adjust my overdrive when clicking my delay or phaser.

[liv_rong]

I’ve built a few with a second higher top row but now when I build them I skip that. With the appropriate angle that second row will be high enough for that to not be an issue. But I always ask what they want when I’m building for friends etc.

Thanks.

Why the wait?
