Hey guys, i finished building my pedal board today which im gonna use at home!

I thought i'd try another way of building one and i used one of my many tools to create small hollows in the wood in which to place my pedals (theres a gap as i'm waiting for another) and then painted it white! I also raised the front end with some rubber feet.

Im rather pleased with the result actually as i think it looks pretty contemporary/cool. The downside being its not very versatile as i can't fit any more pedals on it, but for Ã‚Â£3.99 not bad!!! What do you guys think?

It does look great, I expecially like to recessed
parts for the pedals...what are you going to do if
you start to swap pedals out?

Nice job. Do you have a way of putting it in a bag or something for transport?

Your board looks great.

I bought this road case thing to transport all of my cables and stuff around and by freak chance it has a removable shelf in it that is a perfect pedalboard. Meaning I got a metal roadcase and pedal board for under $30.

A lid that clips on and off would be good for you

Thanks guys! Yeah the problem will be if i decide to change pedals but im happy with my set up at the moment so hopefully that won't be for a while!

I hadn't thought of how im gonna transport it, i suppose just buy a really large padded case!
I might also put some rubber/felt in the recesses to protect the pedals better, but it might ruin the image so im not sure what to do.

I bought an aluminum pedaltrain a few years ago for 100.00 on closeout. came with a fairly good ata type roadcase. Not real big.. But the Wah, boost, 2 od's, and dd-20 fit (cramped).. I want to build a bigger one (yours is real nice), and I've been watching ebay for a cheap used keyboard or mixer ata type case.. Then i'll build it to fit in... good job.. BTW.. look in thrift shops for an old suitcase!!!

i've been meaning to make a board, but the problem is, i'm not even CLOSE to having the ammount of pedals that i want to have, so i'd need to guess how big to make the board, and then it would look naked until i filled it up
