Pedal Board Clock

**Jerose** · #1 04-27-2008, 09:03 PM

Anyone out there have any sort of clock on their pedal board?

I'm really curious as to where I can find a small digital clock (with no alarms or bells or whistles like that, and with glowing numbers) to put on my board. It's always seemed like a good idea to throw one on there so you don't have to stop playing and look at your watch.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Walmart. Look in the automotive section.

Wow, I never thought of that! You can bet my pedal board will be sportin' a clock at the next gig though.

Thanks for the idea, we've always got more set list than time.

Really, that is a great idea. I wonder if a 12 VDC automotive clock will run off the 9 VDC effects supply...

I'm just going to get one that runs on AA batteries for about a year and velco it next to my SanAmp BDDI. Set it and forget it.

Maybe I'll import a bunch and sell them on eBay as pedal board clocks - that's the ticket!

I got mine at an auto parts store, can't even find it online. Someone really could make a killing by making a small LED clock in a sturdy casing that runs on 9V. I settled for an LCD with a backlight but it's still pretty cool.

I'd gladly order one from you!

Ha! It was your idea Jerose, the least I could do is give you a complimentary unit.

Being a fellow TBer and all.

If not, you can step up the voltage. Found an LED clock on JC Whitney for $9.99, 3"W x 1-1/2"H (2" including pedestal mount) x 1-7/8"D. It comes with a pedestal for dash mounting but can be removed to mount flat.
