Ok,so you've decided you want some organization when it comes to your guitar pedals(toys) but you don't want to(or can't) spend $300 on the best pedal-board money can buy.Whether your ready to hit the road and need something gig worthy or you need to make it neater so the wife can vac-um around it,or just need to save a few bucks cause your on a budget,making your own is relatively simple and will save you some money.
With a few items from the craft store and a quick drive up to your local hardware store,you can find most of the items you will need.How fancy you make it and how much time and money you want to invest in your project is up to you.I recommend searching YouTube.There are some nice home-made ones there to give you some ideas.Also,make a drawing of what your ideas are.This will help you.My Pedal-Board is very modest,but was made to fit my needs,there's not another one like it and it is custom made by "Me."
Materials used:
old cutting board,felt,steel handles,spray adhesive,Peavy rubber feet(4)on bottom,Elmers glue,spray adhesive,staples,hardware,velcro strips
Pedals in picture:
Furman power conditioner(not to be confused with power strip),LR Baggs direct box,Boss TU-3,Boss Ab-2
Hint-You can buy velcro from your local hardware store,for the bottom of your pedals,which works very well with the felt...
*Don't forget to buy or make some patch cables to connect your pedals.I recommend "Canare" cables,but more on that later...
Regards,
