Let's see the best homemade pedalboard! Post em'

[Masashi is God]

Still a WIP, need to get some proper decals made.

I made my own a few years ago ( There are pics in an old thread here somewhere). It is all plywood and has a lid and is a solid board that suits all my needs.

I would post a pic, but looking at some of the great ones in this thread, I don't think I'll bother. lol

Don't be crazy. I got a lot of my ideas from a number of very simple boards. Complex does not automatically mean better.

Okay. Here's a couple.

Very nice job. Be proud of that.

Thank you. There are quite a few much better boards in this thread, but I sure appreciate the compliment just the same.

Here's one from some years ago.

Here is mine, took my time making this, even the tolexing turned out ok! It is my dual guitar/bass board. I now have a DOD FX65 Chorus, but it sucks low end so in the market for a bass friendly chorus.

I will add that the VFE Enterprise Phaser is great, bass friendly and capable of a wide range of tones.

Nice and neat, Dan. Do you have any pictures of the underside?

No, I don't, nothing special there, DIY gets ragged on the unseen parts lol! I could upload one if you would like tomorrow.

Edit, just seen yours, amazing work underside and all, maybe I wont show you mine lol.

[Bassmanbob]

Thanks. The idea was to a hide all the spaghetti wires on the pedal board surface and minimize that look underneath.

Where do you guys prefer to have your jacks coming off the board and why? My first inclination is to use the right and left sides, but the back edge offers more space to work with.

Somewhat inspired by ccouch and a few others but lacking in their skill I decided on a simple two tiers inside a mixer flight case. Still needs a few more pedals, and that Muff needs to go too. The PSU is under the right side tier, that's the power cable coming out at the top beside the tuner, it ends in an IEC to plug an amp power cord in to. There's currently nothing under the left, I'm thinking fdeck hpf though. OC2 already on it's way, still wanting a really nice subtle od too.

Here's one I made a little while ago I'm very happy with the way that it came out. I plan on adding a muff soon aswell

Made this one a few years ago. I've since sold off most of the effects and don't use the pedalboard any more.

The back surface would be the last place for me. I stand on the high hat side of the stage so I originally was going to put the jacks on the left side of the board. If I tended to stand on the right side of the stage then I would think about putting the jacks on the right side of the board. There is more space on the back end but then you loose about two feet of cord just to bring it to the front. Actually, the front could be a good place to place plugs if the front were 2 or 3 inches high.

I placed mine on the pedal board surface. That's not a popular place to put them because you lose pedal surface. But I just made my board that much bigger to accommodate it.

Used the snow day yesterday here in CO to do 2 things:

1. Convert an old bookcase into a mini-bar

2. Build a PT-Mini/Nano sized board

Pics to come soon.
