Anyone who's got any idea how to layout pedalboards? How would you lay out my pedals?

[Leo2134786]

I'm thinking of getting a Pedaltrain Metro 20 to organise my pedals.

 

If possible could you use https://pedalplayground.com/ to lay it out?

 

The pedals are: Polytune 3 Mini, into a BOSS LMB-3 Limiter/Enhancer, into a BOSS OC-5 Octave, into a Behringer BDI21 Driver, into a Bass Big Muff Pi, into a EHX Nano Q-Tron Envelope Filter, into a BOSS GEB-7 Bass Equaliser. 

 

If the pedals don't fit could you recommend a bigger pedalboard?

 

Thank you so much to anyone who replies!

Does the Pedaltrain site still have their layout tool?

This is it https://pedalboardplanner.com

 

Quite handy. You need to remember to leave space for cables though.

the rockbound one is pretty good as it takes cables into account I think

I suggest that you use the EBS/Rockboard/Harley Benton/etc flat type patch cables. 

 

if its me I will probably squeeze all of them in a Metro16, only because I hate unused pedalboard space 😁.

Metro 16. the polytune and the 2 Boss pedals on the top doesn’t get stepped on as much as the bottom 4 I presume.

Sideways pedals are wrong.

 

a classic junior would do it and leave room for another.

 

Lot of options to fit a power supply underneath too.

 

 

 

 

However - you do not have to have on the board in the same order as the signal chain.

 

So if the BDDI and the LMB3 are always on you can put them on the top row with the tuner leaving the ones you do have to switch a lot on the bottom. You just need longer patch cables to keep the same signal path.

There's no proper way. Whatever sounds good to the player is good.
