Pedal(board) extras

[itu]

This was new to me, and I decided to open this thread about any add ons that could be helpful when tweaking with pedals or pedalboards.

Yesterday I tried to find Stompshields from T-shop, but no more in their selection.

My compressor (Spectracomp) sits under my board, always on. I put a Loknob on it to keep it locked in place

Quite useful.

 

Peacepoti also do locking knobs

Another useful pedalboard extra is a small reading light for dark stages

Some great ideas there. However, for my VTDI alone, it would cost in excess of £70 .

Such a cool idea but at £200 for my full board itd probably be better to invest in a decent pedal case. 🫠

I’ve had a lot of use from a set of Pedaltrain Pedal Boosters:  https://pedaltrain.com/products/pedaltrain-booster

 

They are great for raising pedals in the second row so that the foot switches can be operated clear of the pedals in front. They do require some drilling though, as they are not very stable if secured only by Velcro.

The GigRig Cinco Cinco is a pedalboard patch bay.

It's just 5 straight-through jack socket pairs and each is stereo.

With one of these you can lay out your pedals as you please and don't have to have the first & last in the chain at the edges of the board.

They're great with EBS flats, so you wire up the board permanently.

I think they may be made by Bright Onion on occasion.

Rockboard to modular patch bays, including wireless, midi, mains, and so-on.

I have a MIDI one in a 19" rack unit (they do a 2-module 1U rack adapter).
