Pea Turgh Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Hello. Ive been getting in to pedals over the last year or so. It started with a tremelo for my pianet, then an octaver for my bass, an analogue echo for general mixing and so on. Now I need somewhere to put them, so here’s the fruits of this evening’s labours... 1. Started off with a few planks taken from an old bed base. 2. Cut to size (ish - I’m too impatient to wait for the correct tools). 3. Remember to charge the effin’ screwdriver! 4. Glooo and scroooo 5 & 6. Not looking too bad! Next I’ll need to fill the duff holes, give it a sand, then apply whatever suitable finish I find in the shed. Then Velcro up and see if I can attach the power supply to the underside, and finally attach some rubber feet on the bottom. Whattaya fink? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andytre Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Looks good! My diy pedal board was just12mm ply cut to shape and then just painted black! Did the job but wasn't pretty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderpaws Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Looking good. I made one like that then decided to re-do it. Turning out ok, finishing touches when I finalise my pedals. Power cables all run underneath a panel that sits in a recess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pea Turgh Posted January 20, 2018 Author Share Posted January 20, 2018 With three small kids, time to do self-indulgent DIY projects is somewhat limited, but I finally borrowed a sander and got to the shed to find some Ronseal! I forgot how fun making stuff is! Tomorrow it’s on to Velcro and rubber feet (for the pedal board, cheeky). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have gone a different direction myself had I seen this one first! Edited January 20, 2018 by Pea Turgh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have gone a different direction myself had I seen this one first! Hey Pea Turgh, I wanted to protect the top of my pedals a bit so the rim sits just a tad higher than my tallest pedal. Fairly simple construction. I’m about to do a new one once I’ve made my new workbench and my Pork and Pickle pedal arrives. I’ll then do a guitar specific board and a bass board. Right now this does both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pea Turgh Posted January 21, 2018 Author Share Posted January 21, 2018 Almost done! Ran out of Velcro for the power supply, so that will have to wait for now. I was going to try to fit it underneath. I’m also now thinking of ways to make the power cables neater. Maybe cable ties. Still, not bad for bits I had lying around! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe cable ties. little plastic P clips could work well, jusy screw into the underneath, would look quite neat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pea Turgh Posted May 16, 2018 Author Share Posted May 16, 2018 Version 2 - mini! I concluded having all my pedals on one board was daft, so this one will take just four pedals. Measured, cut, sanded, assembled, treated and fitted last night after work - boom! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
