Homemade pedalboards only!

[SAN_TREMONTI]

Hey guys..U mind sharing ur homemade pedalboards..? Here's mine..Have yet to get more pedals to upgrade my tone though..ESP Viper 50 > Behringer Compressor / Sustainer > Behringer Tube Overdrive > TGM Distortion > Beta Aivin Digital Delay > Kustom Dart 10FX Amp..The TGM Chorus is spoilt..

Dang I disassembled mine!

I had two drive pedals mounted on a metal grille and tied down with metal wire. But then, decided that I needed a wider range of tones, and some basic effects, and made the switch to multi-effects. Will post it if I decide to rebuild it again.

Many years ago I built this from a guitar case. Cut and shortened so the handle is in the middle. Covered the insides with velcro.

But later on I got sick of patch cables and just built this instead.

Whoa wicked job man. So the whole pedals are underneath? Or you gutted them and wired the insides?

Finish uni, finish up 4 months NS I owed, started full time work. Retire from effects liao, no time haha. Maybe I should start selling all my supplies.

Built a poker table recently!

Gutted everything man! Star grounded all the effects and shielded the whole thing. Quieter and more reliable than ever.

The sight of that interior pleases the DIY nut in me. BRB planning my own. Haha.

Am currently in the first few stages of my own DIY pedalboard, inspired by this one. Cut this section out of a 50cm by 51 shelf last night and did some layout planning.

 

[theblueark]

That would rock. Let me know if you need any help heh. There are a few threads on diystompboxes.com with different designs too.

Here's the general grounding and wiring method I used:

I don't have problems with the 1spot so I just used that to power everything. Some of the other guys built theirs with power supplies in them.

 

[dodgethis]

I'd rather keep the power supply outside of the enclosure, just play it safe. AC signals could cause some EMI in the stomp box circuitry. I would run the 9V female plugs to the rear of the board.

Mine would be rather more complex since I would be running my effects in the loops of my amp, in addition to the normal input. Hmmm, integrating a Line 6 Wireless Relay System into the thing would be nice idea as well. Too many possibilites, not enough time and money...

If blueark builds mahjong tables with cup warmers he can make a ton of cash.

Nice work.

I've always wanted to build my very own PT-inspired pedalboard. But the issue I think I will face is finding a bag/case that is big enough or suitable to fit the pedalboard.

How do you guys carry around your homemade pedalboards?

 

[theblueark]

You can try getting suitable sized keyboard bags. I used an 88 key one for a while, but it was a little oversized. Eventually I got one custom made by a nice couple in the US. Here's their site: http://www.studioslips.com/products.php
I ordered the Briefcase Style Gig Bag with standard padding and added pocket, with measurements perfectly fitting my pedalboard.

Pricing was as follows (in USD):
Briefcase Style Gig Bag™ 1 $95.00
Pocket: Front only (+$15.00)
Shipping and Handling: $31.70
Product Total: $141.70

If blueark builds mahjong tables with cup warmers he can make a ton of cash.

Padded mahjong tables with cupholders! Haha. Actually after how nice that table turned up, i'm pretty gian to build another one.

 

[Cavett]

The keyboard bag way is certainly a great idea!

Thanks for the suggestion!
