Show me your Underneath!!

[JBoogy]

I want to see the underneath of your pedalboard! What do you have under there, anything good? Anything unique? Hidden always-on gems? How’s your cabling? Organized or silly string under there?

Let’s See!

I am still working on my big board and waiting on a few things. But currently underneath I have a Broughton Bandwidth Optimizer, several Lighting Boy 2020s, Voodoo Power Supplies, and an ISP Deci-Mate.

Show your bottom and let’s discuss!

I don't really have an underside / Underneath. however, I do have an "undercroft".
That's where I store my PSU(s), Midi Merge, EHX Hog2, Source Audio Lunar and Neuro Hub. It's also where the rats nest of cables are placed out of sight.

Being a digital board, each pedal has a Power cable, Jacks in / Out (half of this board is stereo) and Midi cabling. USB cabling, plus the Source Audio gear has a Mini TRRS jack to handle midi / Hub control. So cabling wise...it's listed as "complicated"!

Not much to see on my 'bottom'. But I am sharing because of the gaffertape I put on top of the voltage-selector-switches on the Cioks DC7 PSU. I am worried that a piece of sticking out carpet or whatever might catch a dip-switch and change the voltage (!) while I move this board around on stage (there is only a few millimeters between the floor and the PSU). Maybe I am overcautious, I have not seen anyone else doing this...

Oh, and the zip ties are the ones you can 'unlock'.

And, I think the OP needs to show his own 'bottom', even/especially if it's work in progress (so others can comment and/or advice..)

Gorgeous board! Reminds me of Zach Snyder’s board @Proton Lenny

do you have a case for it for transport?

Not too bad. Really should get a shorter 5 pin. Excess red lava cable loop to save cutting it… just in case!

That is beautiful! Very organized! Great idea to label the power supply, I am going to do that. Will make it so muh easier down the road to troubleshoot or pul one cord. Genius! Also what are those cable clips you are using? those look great and very neat! Easier to move a cable I bet.

I used these: SELF ADHESIVE CABLE CLIPS BLACK OR NATURAL NYLON 16mm, 25mm, 28mm WIRE CLIP | eBay

Like GMC's board, my Schmidt Array has no underside, but the lower deck, and man, this is not pretty.
@Katoosie would very much frown upon this mess and stop talking to me, so nobody tell her, please ;-)

Hidden from sight are the Source Audio C4 with Neuro Hub, the Morningstar ML-5 Loop Switcher and the Cioks DC-7 with a Cioks 4 riding piggyback.
The rest are power, midi and signal cables.

This is the Hades of Underneath you Seeketh! Many are the evils that lurk under my meek and mild appearing board with 2 USB hubs, a Neuro Hub, an Insert point and the Mighty [sfx]microThumpinator2 and a mass of neuro cables, USB cables, power cables and patch cables, Lions, Tigers and Bears, Oh My!


Is that @Katoosie in the middle or Dorothy?

Just finished my newest build. You sure you really want to see its underneath?

I think pedals perform better plugged in but like you do you! Tone by Osmosis.
