IKEA Pedalboard for home use

[KellyS]

Hello Everyone,

 

Just thought I would give you all a heads up about the £10 IKEA chopping board that has made a most excellent pedalboard to sit on top of my amp, it won’t suit everything but it’s nice to have the controls to hand since I’m always playing around with settings. Apologies for the rubbish pictures, I’m too excited to wait until the sun rises again around May in Scotland. 
 

The space underneath is perfect for a wee power supply and gives the room a nice glow (and reminds me if I’ve left the power on again).

A nice and inexpensive solution to your problem KellyS👍

I like it. Have you considered some sort of strain relief on the cables to/from the amp to reduce the tendency for them to pull on the first / last pedals ?

Maybe by threading through a couple of holes made in each of the supports ? Or something...

Hello, the wee patch cable isn't too bad but i'll look at something to change the pull on the input. The pedals are held to the board with velcro but I was contemplating something more solid as well. Thank you for the suggestion, will some me some money on replacing cables in the future!
