I made my own, and have modded it periodically. I only use a few pedals (not a fan of multi-fx), so it suits me. It fits into a standard aluminium toolbox from Machine Mart, making it easy to take to gigs.
I bought one that came with a power supply built in during prime days. It was on sale for $40. I used it to expand my Boss pedal board by zip tying it on the Boss board. I use a pedal power isolated power supply that fits on pretty well.
I built my pedal boards out of reused wood from a pallet. that was free. Velcro was a few dollars. bam. done. I got a case from Harbor Freight for 40 dollars.. and then picked up a used hard shell suit case from a thrift store for 15 dollars as a case. People would rather spend 200 for a name than get a cutting board or what not and use an old laptop case or suit case as a case.
I'm getting some aluminum tread plate bent with two tiers by metal fabricator in my area for cheap, ill drill holes I need and use temple audio in/out modules some dual lock and some finished wood sides and chrome handles, repurposed suit case or build a wood case for it. Done!
I use 58 pedals on two boards wired up as 3 separate self contained boards. I make my own boards. I am working on new pair that are 3 tiered and hold about 35 each and link with 2 small patch bays and operated by a pedal switcher. The board with the switcher is on the floor and the other on a stand for easy access to the knobs. I am making the frame from 1" PVC pipe and use 3 hardwood strips typically used for door stop frames as the shelves to stretch across the pipe.. It is all relatively cheap. The best part is it is incredibly strong yet very light weight. I expect it will cost about $200.00 USD but if I bought ready made boards for 70 pedals it would be about $1000.00 USD. It takes hours to get the design right and hours to cut the pipe etc. You need infinite patience. The glue used dries on contact. Mistakes are unforgivable, LOL I got the idea from making strong lightweight stands getting combo amps off the floor for years. The pipe weighs nothing and incredibly strong once assembled.
USE?!!! USE?!!!!! HOW DAFUQ DO YOU USE 58 pedals?! are you just like '' Naah fuck the stage floor, lets just jump on some pedals''.. i cant even do a gig with 6 pedals without accidentally hit a knob or a button... fifty frickin eight pedals bro?... Okay now that is out of the way.... that sounds interesting, how do you manage such a large number of pedals? do you have assistans? or the ability to fly?... no i cant... sorry bro.. carry on...
@@areallyboredguy5825 It’s huge here in Australia. Like Target for us. We have both Target and Kmart but Kmart owns Aussie Target now so they’re really doing well lol
This is a really well done video. Thank you! Question: what's it like transporting this to and from gigs / rehearsals? Do you have a carrying case, etc.?
And that is why I think it is insane to put the hook side of velcro on the pedal. I don't want my pedals sticking to my carpet at home NOR scratching my wood floors.. why do guitarists do velcro backwards.. PUT THE FUZZY SIDE ON THE PEDAL
I guess it’s one of those things that doesn’t make sense but has always been done that way 🤷♂️ think about the fact guitar pedal signal chain goes from right to left, the opposite to what you’d expect considering we read left to right (in the western world anyway) so why is it the opposite? It’s weird but it’s pretty much always been that way
