Show your tidy pedalboard!

Here is my tiNy pedalboard. Reduced from 3 to 2 units as Infinity replaced B7k and Boss NS-2. Polytune 3 mini stays on as I did not fall in love with the tuner on Infinity.
This is pretty much all I need so even the small nano has some space left in case the gas for something else takes over at some point ;-)

Małe jest piękne:)
Darkglass Infinity is very interesting pedal, I hope You enjoy that finnish creativity. Greetings from Białystok City.

You have room for a ZOOM MS70CDR to add some color, if or when needed!

My giant pedal board. Stays in the studio office most of the time. I switched to rack effects years ago, I added a tri-parallel-mixer to the board to experiment eith parallel mod effects. Really like the results. Uses the 4CM.

Don't recall seeing an almost-all Digitech board before, pretty cool stuff and very well layed-out board, congrats !
I used the Bass Driver in the past on my home board and currently own the bass MultiChorus and the BSW, one of my all-time favorite pedals. They make good stuff, IMO.

What kind of material is that? How is the weight? I'm inspired by your DIY pedalboard, would like design it myself using AutoCAD and finding a company that can cut / bent the metal bits for me to design my own pedalboard.. I'm undecided about what material to use, steel, stainless steel, aluminum.. etc. I would love it too be lightweight, but i have no idea if the weight-difference between for example 400 mm x 700 mm x 5 mm steel and aluminum is.. Steel is probably cheaper, but weight is important too![/QUOTE]

After a couple of prototypes, I ended up with all aluminum. Originally, I thought of use it steel to practice welding and figured it would be a fun project. Sadly, the gauge steel I’d need to keep the main plate from bending ended up weighing a ton. I used aluminum angle for the back and for a support under the main plate, which is also aluminum (attached with epoxy). Using angle for the back ended up being much easier to work with for drilling the holes, etc instead of having to manipulate a large piece of bent aluminum plate.
The wood on the sides of mine is mostly for aesthetics and doesn’t bring much to the party, structurally.
Feel free to ask any other questions!

Cool.. I like the simplicity of the design. A few weeks ago, i made a pedalboard out of pinewood, it's ok looking, but i measured things incorrectly. Also, it seemed heavier then i thought it would be. Probably going to make a few cutting-boards out of that wood..

Making it out of aluminum is a better idea.
I think i will copy your design with the bend back piece..
Online i found a few companies that do metal bending for construction things and garden bits, but i have no idea what gauge to will work? Do you think 1,5 or 2 mm (0.06" or 0.078" ) is enough ? Can you post a picture of the bottom, I'm curious about your wiring skills hehe.
