drpepper1 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Hi Everyone, I am finishing my beautiful pedalboard & case (case is ready). Will post some more pics when the top of pedalboard will be ready. Was inspired by such great guys as Salvage Custom or Helweg. But they are so expensive to ship to Europe, so I decided to build one for myself. I put all my heart (and a lot of money and even more time) in this one. My wife says I should start making those for money How do you like it so far? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Looks awesome!! Nice one. There are one or two pedalboard builders in UK/Europe, one being Sheps Really Awesome Pedalboard Company. Definitely room for more Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MothBox Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I'm pro tweed! Very British! I've not seen any with custom materials like tartan, tweed etc. If the quality is as good as it looks in the photos you're onto a winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FretNoMore Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 (edited) Looking very good, tweed is nice! I'd like to know about cabling; is the pedal area a flat surface only or do you have holes or slots for the cables and space undeneath for them?

drpepper1 Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 You can make hard top (so you lay down your pedals first, make holes for cables - here you would need rather solderless or solder it when pedals attached) and screw the pedals to it. Or you can do Velcro on top with slots for cables. I have 2 rows of slots in 1/3 and 2/3 height of top and aditionally 2 on each side of top to get the cables from jack inputs and outputs. It is really a matter of planning and how you want it to be in the future. Velcro top lets you to swap pedals without unscrewing them, so I think it is a bit more comfortable solution.

cheddatom Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 how much does that weigh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drpepper1 Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 Empty approx 13,5 kilo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FretNoMore Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 (edited) Ouch ... my pedalboard in case loaded with 15 pedals weighs in at just over 10 kg, most of that weight is the pedals. The combination would be *heavy*. Very neat and good looking, but heavy. Edited June 30, 2014 by FretNoMore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byo Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Lovely looking pedalboard there, but the weight could be an issue for some... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
