Homemade Pedal Board

We'll let me know what you think! What should I add (pedals or hardware)? I'm currently trying to figure out how to attach a power supply...

Cool, looks great! I suggest adding a couple of handles from a hardware store. Makes it all a bit easier to grab on to.

Here's mine for example:

Yeah so the wah is a v847A so it has no power adapter :(
But I do plan on getting a Voodoo lab (or something of the sort) for the Muff, OCD, and anything else. I plan on bringing the board to a local shop just to see whether an adapter would fit. I'm hoping I can find one that's thin enough....
Anyone have small power supply suggestions?
handles
Yeah I think getting some handles would be a good idea!

I have used a inexpensive mooer and a visual sound 1spot power supply with very good results.

The mooer is pretty thin/flat , but then youbhave to think about the connectors as it's a daisy chain type power supply.

You can see the mooer in the bottom right corner of my pedal board's removable lid.

I bought an inexpensive case 2nd hand, and spent about as much buy a foam insert to keep thw pedals in place as I didn't want to Velcro them.


By the way..... You may not need to replace your wah. There are some daisy chain adaptors on the market that can connect to 9v dc battery connectors. So if you do like your wah, you don't need to get rid of it.

Edit: I earned valuable brownie points the day our kitchen scale battery run out and my wife was desperate to make a cake. Hey presto, there I was, with my visual sound 1spot and 9v battery adapter. I was eating some cake before long too. That was a double win. :mrgreen:

Very cool, had no idea those existed! Looks like that will be my next purchase.

On another note: Does anyone have good ideas for how to attach their wah to a board? Right now I have it "velcro-ed" with the bottom twp feet removed so that the velcro can reach... bad idea, I know.

Cable ties.

Quite handy for those unplanned abductions. Oh wait, wrong forum...... :oops:
