I have some wah style pedals... Whammy, Moog expression, etc. They are difficult to use when mounted on my board because of the angle. I thought about having a small platform for my left foot to stand on, but there has to be other options... What else can I do? I'm thinking about building a flat board.
As you may know... you can calibrate your Whammy, when you mount it in your board. I did it this way.
Sorry about bringing up an older post. But you could always make something to go under the back of the pedal, like a 1/4" piece of wood, to make the pedal a little more level. I'm currently building my own angled board and I wanted a steep enough angle to get the farther pedals comfortably and not hit the knobs on the pedal in front but my wah was uncomfortable so I'm just putting a piece of wood about 1/4 x 1/2" about the width of the pedal and it levels out nicely.
I have 3 rocker/wah-style pedals on my board currently - a Wah, Whammy (new addition!) and an expression covering Moog, Mobius & Hog2. My board is flat on the floor, with a riser to reach the pedals on the 2nd row. I have too many large pedals, so will be looking to downsize at some point, but I figure if lugging a 40kg+ SVT is ok, then why not do what I want.
Lots of boards have angled areas for pedals and flat-bottomed wells for treadle-pedals (wahs, expresssion, volume etc) — get the best of both worlds. Oh you gonna gig that board tonight Oh down under that red stage light Oh you gonna let it all ring out Flat-bottomed wells you make the rockin' world of sound...
