flameboy87 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Hey all, I'm going about designing a pedal board for myself but before I start in to it I'm trying to research a few ideas I have in my head. One of the things I'd like to do is tuck away my wireless underneath my pedals but am unsure whether this will result in any loss if signal due to the materials (most likely wood) surround the majority of it. I'm debating about using a two tear board so I have power supply and anything else that doesn't need to be in the way under the higher 2nd tear. This will also allow me to create extra space on top for more pedals Any help or recommendations would be very welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 (edited) I wouldn't think that wood would be much of a barrier to your signal. If it is, you might be able to mount some external aerials on the top of your board - which shouldn't take up too much space, then plug them into the receiver hidden below. It depends if your existing aerials are fixed or use ('F'?) connectors. I'd also check that there is adequate ventilation for your receiver - does it get warm in use? Edit: My guitarist uses a home-made 2-tier board, mainly for accessibility to the multitude of pedals. The board has a load of small holes in the bottom so he can cable-tie the current pedals of choice in place. The rear (top) tier is open (basically a plank across the top, no back & front = plenty of ventilation), and has his PSU tucked underneath.

mike257 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Yeah, if your receiver has those little fold out antennas protruding from the back/front of the unit, just mount in such a way that they're accessible at the back of the board where they can be unfurled in all their glory and still be mostly out the way of your feet!

bertbass Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I've mounted both my guitar receiver and mic receiver on my 3 tier pedal board and have no problems at all. Mic on bottom tier, Line 6 XD-V70HS, for the antenna height and the G30 on the top tier. Makes setting up seriously easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberthot Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 My pedalboard consists of a Korg tuner and my G30 at the moment. If I had a bigger boardI wouldn't want to hide it under anything as it has the lights on it that tell me when the battery is starting to lose power and saves me looking round all the time at the transmitter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
