Pedalboard underside pics

Great idea for a thread. I'm looking forward to some pictures.

 

I’m going to be re-wiring my board here soon when I get some new cables and power supply that should be arriving in the mail either tomorrow or Monday. Going to attempt to wire up an Eventide PowerMax and PowerMini with a 4-way patch-bay all on a Novo 18 board. Not well-versed by any means in cable management but I’m gonna try to see what I can do. Interested to see what others have done here on these forums. Great thread idea!

 

A simple, tight setup... The underside of a Pedaltrain Nano

 

I call it: Organized Chaos. Every last inch of space I can reasonably use on the bottom side is
Cioks DC7; small power strip; midi merger; Meris MIDI I/O adapter,; USB-to-midi adapter; USB hub so the MorningStar, HX, and USB Midi are on 1 USB panel jack; Bluetooth Midi adapter; Radial JDI box; Microthumpinator;
Panel on the side has 1/4" input, 1/4" output, DI output, and USB B jack for all programming/external midi control; and an extra 1/4" jack below it for an external 3button addon for the Morningstar.

 

Custom designed 3d printed PLA plastic, both the orange ones and the black ones.

The more basic flat ones are simple 2mm thick, 15mm wide, flat rectangles. There may be 1 or 2mm rise to them if the object wasnt perfectly flush to the metal rails.

The more custom ones holding the USB hub, JDI, and Kenton, are designed down to the millimeter to fit/hold everything without wiggling even in the slightest.

 

Designed them on tinkercad.com, and printed them on an Anycubic i3 Mega S; It's an amazing printer for the price, I'd absolutely recommend it to anyone thinking about getting into 3d printing for cheapish off eBay (or the X, if you want more volume space)

 

Pedaltrain Nano + with Cioks DC5 power supply mounted with velcro. For cable management cable clips are great.

 

I'm a fan of DIY:

Rockboard underside

 

It’s fairly neat but not perfect. Metro 20

 

I just use Velcro to hold down the jumpers on a OneSpot. It gets the job done.

 

OK, I'll play:



It's a small board. The two big holes are a place to grab onto the thing to carry it. The pads are anti skid (high friction) rubber pads so it doesn't wander on me. I have some countersunk holes in there from when I had a few things screwed on the board, but I have since transitioned to everything on Dual Lock, including the power supply, to accommodate my lack of commitment to any given pedal. So,.....





Keeping this relatively neat is a matter of having a bunch of short but different cable lengths on hand for power and signal. It rides to and from gigs in a briefcase with foam padding - the board was sized to fit the briefcase.

 

Or, if you don't have a 3d printer, you can use cut down zip ties. Several different sizes to choose from.

 

Cool thread idea! Here’s mine, custom built kit at home. Small but effective! Got into making my own custom cables, makes a HUGE difference in neatness!

 

the back
I’m not exactly a neat freak

the front, for context:

 

Smaller power supply and Boss wireless receiver are mounted with Velcro.
I put current draw data on all the pedals so I know what power supply tap will accommodate that power draw. Otherwise when rebuilding a board, it's a pain to have to re-look everything up.
