How to make a pedal board?
« on: January 27, 2007, 03:15:13 PM »
Hey guys! I wish you could help me regarding how to make a pedal board. Items needed, procedure, etc.. I'm planning to make one since it's cheaper to make one by yourself. I'd appreciate any help from you guys. Thanks in advance.  :-)

mga tsong pare dudes, punta kayo sa HMR along pioneer sa pasig. surplus store sha ng kahit na ano, electronics, etc. etc. madami silang laptop bags for sale, mga pang 15-17" computers. i think less than 500 if not 500 lang. meron din silang pwedeng gawin pedalboards, pero sobrang laki nga lang, hehe.

alam ko yung sangkalan na yun greg, hehe. nakakita ako sa DIY store sa gateway, hehe. ayos din eh. ayoko nga lang yung butas nya sa isang side, hehe. kaya i opted for the whiteboard. pwede mo pa sulatan ng settings, hahaha.

bili ka 1 ft x 2 ft na plyboard sa ace hardware...comes in natural wood or black color.
bili ka stanley drawer handles.
i screw mo sa magkabilang side...parang tray.
bili ka sticky velcro para sa pedals mo

yun na ....

mga 800 to 1200 may pedal board ka na.

nag DIY din ako sa pedal board ko for may 4 pedals and a power supply. bumili ako ng laptop bag sa SM na 300 pesos tapos white board sa sa national na 100 plus lang. pwede rin paputol ka ng plywood...mas mura pa yan. lagyan mo lang ng velcro and kung ano pa gusto mo. less than 500 lang. ayos na!

just plywood--- plus lagay ka lang ng goma sa ilalim para hindi dumudulas sa surface ng floor...
punuuin ng velcro ang ibabaw and ur on the go na...
tapos kung gusto mo ng cheap bag para sa customized pedal board mo... use the elementary school bag trick made of board paper... ano na nga ba ang tawag doon sa makapal na carton na yun? tapos some handles etc etc you know the drill...
