Pedal Board Pics

Built my pedal board this weekend. It costs about $25, but plenty of glue, carpet, and outlets left to make another one. The right angle cables I made from connectors I bought off eBay and guitar cable. Put plenty of outlets in the back for wall warts, and a On/Off switch. Looking for a cheap source of velcro now to stick everything down.

Impressive. Now you'll need to get some extra legs grafted on.

Nice job, Fly! That's quite a pedalboard you've got going there.

Man alive!!!!!! I'm a novice and know next to nothing about pedals. Do you use all those suckers at one time? Or different ones at different times? I'm doing good to sing and strum. If I had to operate all that stuff with my feet too I'd be up the well known creek.........
I'M IMPRESSED WITH YOUR SET UP!!!

Thanks everyone.

Aunt Doty, you don't normally operate all of them at the same time. Basically you set up one or a few to give you a certain sound. I haven't really explored the sounds yet. The board gives you some organization and keeps everything tidy. Previously I was unplugging and plugging pedals to get a sound and play it. Now I have everything laid out and I can keep them plugged in. It also eliminates moving the cables around, which usually ends up with bad connections and problems.

Found a decent deal on 180"' x 2" wide velcro strips and double sided sticky tape on eBay. Basically another $17 shipped, but I'll have enough velcro for lots of applications. Home Depot wanted $4 for 2 2"x4" pieces. It would cost me $2 a pedal to stick them down.

Sweet Fly, nice to just plug in the guitar and play with out all the hassels of connecting/disconnecting.

That is a cool board and a great selection of effects to get some killer tones.

Just a quick point about the velcro it can be a pain in the ass if you move the pedals around once they are in place. By moving pedals around it was peeling off and I gave up on some of the pedals as I would often take my looper off.
