I can't take all the credit though. The Beavis Audio site had the initial idea of putting sides on the pedaltrain. I just made and fashioned my own design.

Here is the pedal board I built for my needs. Constructed of 1/2" plywood, all the outside surfaces are covered in black plastic laminate. The inside is painted black and holds a power strip and the transformers.

Well done!

How is the plastic lam applied?

Plastic laminate is put on with several different types of glue.........the "Rednecks" call it "fo-mika" glue, other "foke" call it "contact cement".

Very nice pedalboard!

Mr. Majestic is correct. I used an industrial strength contact cement, sprayed on with a paint gun.

I threw this together a few nights ago. It's a 'craft tote' I bought from the grocery for $6. I pushed the soldering iron through it and zip-tied my pedals down. The thread is here.

I like this. Cheap, light and no velcro! Though perhaps a bit flimsy, but that might not be a problem depending on how you're using it.

Do you find the side of the box is a problem when stomping? I can imagine you might flip over your entire board when you mis-stomp and hit the edge by mistake.

Haven't updated in a while so here's the latest revision:

Wasn't happy with the tone of the M80 for some reason it just didn't seem to give a "full tone" if that makes any sense and the synth pedal doesn't track well and the usable sounds are minimal.

Added the MXR bass octave and bass fuzz pedals and a Countryman DI. I'll revisit a synth pedal down the line maybe the Markbass or the EHX ones.

As always I run amp-less with this board and IEM's it's been working out great.

bought a 199-peso (around $5) wooden food tray in the supermarket.
don't like velcroing pedals. so i just tie em up with plastic cable ties thru the spaces between the tray.

Nice to see another dirt cheap pedal board/tray!

The plastic edges of my craft case are flexible enough that they bend if I step on it. It's shorter than my pedals, but I might be able to break it if I tried, but not on accident.

made this last month. Works well; the aluminium is light, strong and easy to rivet together.
