pedalboard, part 1
I started building a new pedalboard for all my guitar effect pedals the other day. It might be a while before it’s finished, though… Here’s where I’m at so far:
That’s the plan I drew out for it. I wanted to figure out what the angles were going to need to be to get the support in back to be at a right angle to the ground. Then I went to the store to get some materials and started drawing the pattern on the wood:
The Xs are the places I don’t want to cut. I wanted a grid pattern so that I could move pedals around and add more later, but still be able to route all the cables underneath. I based the idea on an SKB board I saw online (Stagefive, I think). Here’s what it looks like with most of the cutting done (the jigsaw crapped out on me after this point):
And that’s where I’m at right now. I want to put some bypass switches on the bottom and input and output connectors on the side with a signal buffer on the output, but I need to figure out how to do all of that first. So far, so good!
