2016 DIY (sort of) Pedalboard

[jgmredor]

Probably my first sensible contribution to this section! Here's my first DIY Pedalboard. Got tired of carrying big ass boards to 4 song gigs, sometimes 3!

A. Less is more, bring only the essentials!
B. Fits the pocket of my gig bag so I carry only 1 bag!
C. Something natural looking but has a musical touch!
D. Must be dirt cheap because I'm sending 4 kids to school!

Presenting...



1. Saw a cutting board at Japan Home Center while the wife was shopping small boxes. It reminded me of a maple neck and suddenly thought this can be my next pedalboard.

2. Next stop was at ACE Hardware and saw rubber footings. I need a bit of elevation to keep the wood looking neat and tidy. I also need the board to stay firm in once place.

3. Removed the ring (pansabit) and replaced it w/ a spare strap button to add a musical touch. Para di naman siya purely mukhang kitchen chopping board!

4. Installed 4 rubber feet at the corners.

5. Measured the chosen three pedals and istalled velcro on the board for a stealth set-up.

6. The most pleasant part... cost is 106 pesos. Time to build is less than 10 minutes!

I have 3 more cutting boards in stock!

Good stuff! Nice looking piece of wood too. Did you see bigger chopping boards I the store?

[JanMayer]

Ayos 'to ah. Hahaha kamusta yung weight sir? Di naman mabigat?

[jm the mute]

much better than what I used to have

1.) those heavy wood panels from ACE from metal cabinet handles

2.) small white board and some rubber stoppers

I wish japan home existed back in my gigging days

Light as a feather! Wala ako napansin na bigger sizes.

Fits the Ibanez powerpad pocket nice and easy!

Habang nagpapagawa si ermats ng cabinet sa bahay. May nakita ako na nakakalat na pinagtabasang tabla.
Pinatungan ko lang ng hard plastic sa ibabaw para presentableng tingnan.

damage para sa aluminum handle 30x2=60php

(nakabalot ng plastic yung mga pedal para wag magasgasan. heheh)

Nice one! I have to replace my current one (a very heavy one). Only problem is where to put the power brick.

pwede pala yun mga boards ko dito...the only boards na i've used na commercially available are Gator Pedal Tote, Pluggzz Aluminum Pedalboard and BOSS BCB-3 (MIJ) - only the BCB3 is with me, modded it.

**Ngayon ko lang narealize na madami pala ako na DIY hehehe.  Pag nakakakita kasi ako ng plank ng wood or plyboard naiisip ko agad is Pedal Board LOL.  Lalo na pag nag Home Renovations.

[ryantetek]

Uy plastic matting! nice one sir!

thanks sir, maganda din to pag gusto mong expand yung board, pwede pa magdugtong ng another matting,
pwede ring padaanin yung cables sa ilalim, magaan din

Ano ang tawag sa tela na ginamit na pang-cover ng pedal board para puede sa velcro hook?

Few people know it but for the US reunion show of the Eraserheads, I fashioned not one but three pedalboards out of the plastic chopping boards sold at Daiso for Marcus Adoro.

The total pedal count across all 3 boards was 17. This setup was used until we had aluminum boards made by Pedalgrill.

Not sure pero sinabi ko lang sa Local Electronic Shop yun pambalot ng Baffle/s

Hello po. Share ko lang din po yung DIY pedalboard ko.




Kaso yung nagamit ko na car fabric e hindi gaanong makapit sa velcro hook kaya gumupit na lang ako ng velcro loop strips then dinikit ko sa board para makapit yung pedals.

This pedalboard fits well in a bag for a 14-inch display laptop.
