DIY pedalboard

Recommended Posts

Hello. Ive been getting in to pedals over the last year or so. It started with a tremelo for my pianet, then an octaver for my bass, an analogue echo for general mixing  and so on.

Now I need somewhere to put them, so here’s the fruits of this evening’s labours...

1. Started off with a few planks taken from an old bed base.

2. Cut to size (ish - I’m too impatient to wait for the correct tools).

3. Remember to charge the effin’ screwdriver!

4. Glooo and scroooo

5 & 6. Not looking too bad!

 

Next I’ll need to fill the duff holes, give it a sand, then apply whatever suitable finish I find in the shed.

Then Velcro up and see if I can attach the power supply to the underside, and finally attach some rubber feet on the bottom.

Whattaya fink?

With three small kids, time to do self-indulgent DIY projects is somewhat limited, but I finally borrowed a sander and got to the shed to find some Ronseal!

I forgot how fun making stuff is! Tomorrow it’s on to Velcro and rubber feet (for the pedal board, cheeky).

Looking good. I made one like that then decided to re-do it. Turning out ok, finishing touches when I finalise my pedals. 

Power cables all run underneath a panel that sits in a recess.

Btw - never came across a design like this - way cool!

Might have gone a different direction myself had I seen this one first!

Hey Pea Turgh, I wanted to protect the top of my pedals a bit so the rim sits just a tad higher than my tallest pedal. Fairly simple construction. I’m about to do a new one once I’ve made my new workbench and my Pork and Pickle pedal arrives. I’ll then do a guitar specific board and a bass board. Right now this does both.
