lobematt Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Hey everyone, I'm in dire need of a new pedal board and most the ones I can find on the internet are expensive and pretty flimsy looking. I was wondering if anybody's made their own and got any tips for me cuz I think it's the route I'm gonna end up taking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lobematt Posted April 30, 2012 Author Share Posted April 30, 2012 Yeah I've checked there, £100+ is a bit much really! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooks79 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I followed this for a DIY board one time - http://www.tdpri.com/forum/stomp-box/153763-my-do-yourself-ikea-pedalboard-build-thread.html It's cheap and cheerful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Heeley Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Heres the sketch to one I made in the shed one wet afternoon, its cheap and easy and it works, dunno why anyone would pay the daft money for a retail one [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v609/al_heeley/pedalboard.jpg[/IMG] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobematt Posted April 30, 2012 Author Share Posted April 30, 2012 Them boards look pretty cool. Any ideas on how to make them travel proof for in the van?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamPodmore Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 [quote name='lobematt' timestamp='1335794405' post='1636091'] Them boards look pretty cool. Any ideas on how to make them travel proof for in the van?? [/quote] My guess would be the largest foam-filled flightcase from Maplin, should fit the board in, and it's got foam to protect it too. It's about £30 for a set of 3 IIRC. Liam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobematt Posted April 30, 2012 Author Share Posted April 30, 2012 FTW! I'll check it out, cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Vader Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I made mine out of mdf from work, and ebay velcro, and measured it to a silver box that I had lying about for a flightcase. it is fine, 2 tiers and 8 pedals. Or is it 7? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
