[quote name='Thunderbird' timestamp='1489994420' post='3261243'] I think they look great but I think how much it weighs will be a big selling point I know some woods are light but I can see an all wood board with all the connectors and power etc being pretty heavy and most people seem to be going light nowadays [/quote] I know weight will be a biggie for some people, understandably. This board is 600mm x 400mm (15 3/4" x 23 5/8") and weighs 5.5 kgs unloaded. A case will be ready for it soon too Cheers

[quote name='bazztard' timestamp='1489978987' post='3261223'] nice job personally I like to be able to hide the cables underneath ala Pedaltrain etc but I know lots that like boards like yours. Go for it. Don't underprice it though, go for the boutique buyers. [/quote] The top has slots routed in to put all your cables through, all you need to do is cut a slot in the Velcro in the required place. The top is removed by 4 screws. Loads of room inside for cables and power unit https://imgur.com/yk6DcEB The cost of materials is nuts (unless you buy in massive amounts!) so will have to go the boutique route 😊 Cheers

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1489679087' post='3258930'] Try something like this, one for power, one for (or you could fabricate something similar, in wood) Also, there should be at least two outputs on a pedal board, for those that are running stereo pedals and want a stereo out. Would make things nice and symmetrical too. May be less symmetrical if you want the DI also - but I am guessing your market is made to order? For really nice looking plates, check these... and they would look to be bolted to your pedal board from inside. How nice would that look? Of course, you'd rear mount the Neutrik connectors - [url="https://itm-components.co.uk/collections/extron/adapter-plate?page=9"]https://itm-componen...er-plate?page=9[/url] How nice would something like that look?? Depending upon how good your routing is, you may be able to get rid of the plate together... and that would look hella cool. Shouldn't be difficult to rear route into the wood to leave it thin enough to mount the sockets directly. [/quote] Wow, thanks for the info! Much appreciated 😊 Yes I agree to keeping all hardware uniform, I think I will go down the iec route as I think more people will want that rather than powercons, could do it as an option though. Will definitely offer as many in/outputs as needed, as you say they will be built to order. Will check out more info on different types of connectors, I'm a standard jack man, so need to think about that more! Cheers

[quote name='rmorris' timestamp='1489577965' post='3258046'] I reckon an IEC power socket would be best on the rear face - less likely to tread on power lead - and use a right angle IEC plug on the mains lead too minimise 'stick out' ? Alternatively some users may prefer a captive lead option at a reasonable length to reach a power strip etc. Nice woodworking btw [/quote] Ok, couple of good point to bear in mind. Thanks for the comments and kind words 😊

Cheers for the info and kind words dude! One problem I found with the locking jacks is I really have to pull hard to get the lead out (I'm obviously pushing the tab in!) is this normal?? I have bought 4 and they are all the same Cheers

Thanks! Yes I plan to offer different types and more input/outputs if required Cheers for the input (pardon the pun!....)

Potentially you could put the input and output jack anywhere, or even omit them if you wanted. I intend to do all one off custom boards, so anything is possible! But I appreciate what your saying, will take it into consideration Cheers

I think when you have the kettle lead and guitar lead plugged in it'll be tricky to knock the switch accidentally. But I could be wrong! Cheers for the feedback 😊

Those are some lovely boards... My idea is to go down the hardwood boutique route, not everyone's thing but I love them!

To be honest I don't want to put a price on it until I am 100% of the finished product design.But I plan on doing higher end stuff (if it's good enough) as I can't compete with the big low cost pedalboard brands!!

Hey! I plan on making and selling pedalboards. This is a prototype, a few changes to be made. I personally don't like the locking jacks! Some feedback from you guys would be awesome, good or bad comments welcome!
