1. I think I would have angled it so it's higher in the back...and raised the back enough so I could mount a Voodoo Lab PS (or similar) under. You might be able to do this by just removing the front feet.
2. maybe cut a narrow route above the PS cable outlet feeds, so you can route them through the board and to the pedals above (possibly put the route towards the middle of the board so it could reach all the pedals). |

The discs on top of the board might interfere with available pedal real-estate, but the design aesthetic is far beyond most boards! |

| | | | I think they look really nice. You obviously know your way around a wood shop. I would love to see some pics with pedals mounted.

to house their effect pedals. I've even considered it myself too. Maybe some day. |

2 of these together make a tidy little footprint.
I just bought 2 in the 'as is' section at Ikea.
Same price as one of the smaller Gorm Shelves.
I'm gonna have an NYC Bassballs, EHX BMS, Pigtronix Disnortion and EP-1 eventually w. expression, Line 6 DL4 w. expression, and eventually my big old vintage EHX polyphase.
My tuner and hopefully a big digital alarm clock might fit.
I may need to brace it cause I'm a big guy, and I will likely want to put a heavy duty finish on it.
Ideas?

But that Ikea shelf thing is a pretty good idea. I wonder how much foot force those shelves can hold. Probably a good idea to put a support beam across the middle. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
