Still, excellent board, well done [/quote] Yeah I saw that, Couldn't get the extra wood to raise the board though but it is big enough without it! That and the cheap SoundLab PSU is HUGE! Definitely a great way to do a board

My D.I.Y made board and my first board ever! I'm excited and impressed, just finished it off today and am now waiting for the EHX Enigma Q Balls to try fit somewhere. The Q-tron is getting sold and the Behringer BSY600 I doubt will live on there. Got a few more pics of the building just here [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/195774-just-diyed-my-own-board/"]http://basschat.co.u...d-my-own-board/[/url]

So, I wasn't too keen on the prices of a pedalboard out there and decided to go my own way about it. Of course I looked around and found some examples of D.I.Y jobs and it lead me on this journey. I apologize for the size of pics, I took them straight off my phone. 1. I ordered some "Gorm shelves" from Ikea, only £7 plus P&P. Wehn they came they looked like this: 2. Started getting the pedal bug and went off buying too much from here on BC! Once I Bought a few I gave them a quick go on the whole shelf to get a feeler: 3. After that I cut it down and painted it. I was far too impatient to find some sort of case to get a proper size of board but I'll worry about that another day! 4. I bought some velcro off of eBay, only a meter and only 25mm so I had to order more but this time 50mm and the board looked like this! I was pretty damn chuffed really, it looks awesome! I may get some rubber feet for the bottom of it but otherwise I don't think I need to do too much else Anyway this is the final set up, well maybe. I'm unsure of the order to put it all in at the moment and the Q-tron is getting replaced with the Enigma Q Balls! I got the input now into the tuner and then the Q-tron going into the compressor then that into the MXR, Behringer then out. All in all the board cost about £15! and the Gorm shelves come in packs of two, so I can either make a bigger board (bad idea!) or a mini one for 3, maybe 4 pedals to be daisy chained on

Thanks for all the info guys, definitely gonna take a lot of it on board. EQ'ing is definitely a weak point of mine and I'm gonna have to work on it. Cheers!

The gramma pad looks pretty interesting, I hadn't heard of them before

[quote name='0175westwood29' timestamp='1356988239' post='1916194'] i doubt that your combo is the problem. ive heard loads of combos that have sounded awesome! are you feeling its boomy on stage? i always get someone who know the sound i like/want to gimme a nod from the back if its sounding ok. andy [/quote] I just always thought that being a bigger cone (15") that it could be lacking definition. I have a 2x10 cab extension but just dont always get the chnace to get it in my car. If I did I'd use it all the time

I keep playing some larger halls for charity or function events but am worried my sound is getting pretty lost and I have a fear of going too crazy with eq or volume in case I just become a noise. Any sorta tips with getting a decent sound? In the halls you just seem to be too tinny or too bassy. I got a 1x15 combo which is probably the problem. Cheers, Greg

[quote name='Greggo' timestamp='1354043497' post='1881381'] I found out to bypass preamp in this bass - take the battery out! Actually sounds much nicer without and made me realise how the preamp is not transparent at all. [/quote] When I take the battery out the bass dies :S
