pedalboard

[neat patrol]

I am slowly building up my pedal collection and I need to buy a pedal board to keep all of my pedals in one place. Does anyone have any Amazon pedalboard recommendations?

[quick apex]

i know this is not what you asked for but try building your own pedalboard

with wood

its gonna save you a lot of money which you can use to buy more pedals

also you can customise the size so that it fits your pedal number

[neat patrol]

How could I get started with that?

Oh nvm i see now, the msgs hadn't loaded in yet

[neat patrol]

Have you made one out of wood?

Can I see it?

[quick apex]

yeah lemme send a pic

[neat patrol]

That's actually really good

Yeah I could probably do that

Not for a while though, need some free time to make it

Thanks very much for the suggestion

[quick apex]

ofc man

[gusty mauve]

Yeah it's a lot cheaper to just go to home Depot or something and pick up the materials

All a pedalboard really is, is a surface with pedals on it

[neat patrol]

What kind of wood should I get @gusty mauve @quick apex ?

[gusty mauve]

It shouldn't really matter. If you go into somewhere like home Depot, just feel it. Try to bend it, stuff like that. Make sure you know the exact size you need for your pedal board

And then you will probably want to pick up some other parts at home depot while you're there. Maybe add handles to the board, legs?

You probably want it to be angled

[real crag]

ive seen people use cutting boards

[gusty mauve]

Some Velcro or dual lock

[real crag]

and they just get abit of wood to raise them up and angle them

[neat patrol]

Yeah velcro for sure

Yes of course

Well I'm out of my town for a bit so for now all I can do is figure out sizes of stuff

And what I want for it

So for now I'll draw a diagram that can fit my pedal

[gusty mauve]

People typically consider dual lock better than Velcro

[neat patrol]

Possibly, but I also enjoy making things as well so I'll probably use wood

[neat patrol]

Ill have a look at both then maybe

[amber wigeon]

I can 3D print you a set of brackets if you want so you can make it however long you want.

I have a 2 layer version as well

[neat patrol]

How would I pick it up?

[amber wigeon]

I can ship you the brackets and then you can get furring strips from Lowes, cut them to length and you're ready to go!

@magic bloom has a set of each as well, pretty customizable and you can really do whatever you want with them. The 2 layer is actually a set I sent to him to play with.

[neat patrol]

I'm not in America though

[magic bloom]

might not be worth the shipping, but it wont hurt to look into it

these are nice and easy to work with making whatever size situation one needs

[neat patrol]

So dw about it

[amber wigeon]

Oh makes a bit of a difference then. you had asked about Amazon so i thought maybe you were

If you want decent/cheap on Amazon, then look at the GhostFire boards

[neat patrol]

I'll check it out

Those 3d printed things are really really cool though

[magic bloom]

if you make something for yourself, get the case/bag first

[amber wigeon]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B24P93JJ/

Then pick your size and go from there! They come with bags too

[magic bloom]

the bag/case is really the expense

if one doesnt need a bag/case, then one is likely not traveling with the pedals, and can just put them on the floor and not on a "pedalboard"

[amber wigeon]

Yea I paid $70 for mine for my custom board

[magic bloom]

i think thats worth saying

i think folks assume a pedalboard is a necessity

its just a convenience

[neat patrol]

Oh I do need one though I think

[magic bloom]

for this, for example, you dont really require a pedalboard

[neat patrol]

Ive started playing shows more and more often so that's why I was looking into it

[magic bloom]

certainly not one with a case/bag

you can get any flat piece of wood

[magic bloom]

for this, you would likely want a board with a bag

ghostfire is hard to beat

not sure if the bags will hold up well

but certainly good value

[amber wigeon]

Bag is fairly decent with the Ghostfire boards. I have one (that I'm actually selling) and the bag is super nice
