Building My Own Pedalboard... |
. I think it looks much cooler than anything I could have bought and it only cost ~20 Euros!

Sounds good!. I see you have boss tuner, just wondering, is that a true bypass? Or at least good enough not to suck much tone.
I'm thinking of getting one lately. -------------------- Guitars:

Isn't a basic pedalboard like this just a ground plate to screw your pedals on to? Crazy prices for those things.

Again, isn't a pedal board just like a base to put your pedals in? Or do you also connect the pedals to the board?

Good job on building your own pedalboard man! Looks like a professional job! How are you carrying it around? Do you have a box for it or something?
QUOTE (kaznie_NL @ Jul 14 2009, 06:34 PM)  Again, isn't a pedal board just like a base to put your pedals in? Or do you also connect the pedals to the board? Well it basicly is. It also features inputs and outputs for your guitar/amp and possible through connections etc.Also you get one power source for all pedals and connections so its handy. I have boss bcb60 pedal board and I love it ! Its handy light and it provides me with all the necessary connections and cables , so on a gig I just lay it down and open it and everything is in there. Its so easy to carry around and sturdy I do think its a little bit overpriced but definitely its worth it if you have lots of pedals and gig around.

If you guys are into DIY stuff, I can only say that building a pedalboard was a cool experience, but I today can safely say that getting a factory one (Like Boss BCB60) is much safer bet. Simply put - the quality of what you can made can never be as good as getting molded case that will be lighter, more practical and with better quality components (like patches, PS unit etc..). It is more pricey in the end, but not so much, maybe 40% (if you are buidling full pedalboard with case, patches and PS). I know it's sounds like a commercial, but I just wanted to give my thought on this.

Nicely done Zakk
Looks great!I built my own pedalboard not too long ago, but it's not halfway as sturdy and cool-looking as yours It's made from whatever i could find in the cellar: Superglue, electrical tape and some wood-boards that used to belong to a bed. Cheap and crude with no pre-planning whatsoever, but does the job Here's a pic of it:  There's a hole on the front side where the GT-8 is. All the cables sticking out from the GT goes under the board. Havent had the time to finish it or hook all the pedals up the way i want them yet, so it looks a bit messy right now. There's still bits of tape all over the floor
