Small pedalboard choice

[BassAdder60]

Having decided I must use the Keeley Bassist pedal as it’s an improvement I’ve now ordered the TC Polytune 3 

 

Ive had Pedaltrain boards ( ok ) and now just have a cheap Boss BCB30X which has the foam removed and Velcro fitted to the bottom. 
 

Looking for ideas for small three pedal kind of boards 

[Lozz196]

I’ve got a Warwick Rockboard which is slightly smaller in width than the Pedaltrain Nano, a good size for three pedals.

I have a 3 or 4 pedal setup, and planning to use a small plastic chopping board, cut down to exactly accommodate them.

I have the pedaltrain Nano+. think i paid 25 quid second hand. rock solid construction, and with wee feet extenders, I can put a DI box and power supply underneath. I honestly can't see how it could be improved on!

Yeah those Warwick boards look really well designed. I've two pedaltrain ones, but I'll be looking at Warwicks if I decide to change.

Rockboards are great, quite a lot of clearance underneath for a chunkier power supply and a thumpinator or a low profile DI etc.

What feet extenders did you get? Where from?

 

Thanks.

Feet Extenders Details please ...

I got one of these, but the Caline PSU is too big for underneath so had to go on top.

I think they were these:

I might be wrong though.  I did get them from B&Q though for 2 quid.

 

They squeeze on and stay on through friction.

For small pedal boards I now use skateboards with funky artwork! Without the trucks obviously.

I just cut pieces of fibreboard to size to fit the pedals I want to mount. Drill holes to take long cable ties to hold the pedals (and power supply) on: Velcro always comes unstuck from the back of pedals but you can use that if preferred; just staple it on. One cable tie will hold your average pedal. Then cover it with that non-slip perforated rubber matting (the type you put on outside wooden steps) held on with staples. That stops it from sliding around on the floor, prevents the fibreboard edges from flaking and makes it look less naff. Obviously, if you are using Velcro, then put the rubber matting on first.

 

The resultant pedalboard is very light and really cheap to make. I have made several for different configurations of pedals.

Donner make a good one you can get on Amazon for peanuts. I'll be getting one soon so I can take a smaller pedal selection for my Amsterdam gig in May.

@elfrasho @Elfrasho Those were perfect.

 

I used a craft knife to make them a bit shorter and then hot glued them on.

 

Thanks!
