Homemade Pedal Board

Procter2812 · 01-18-2010, 01:57 PM

Basically was in need of a pedal board so I made one for £5!!!

I didnt have to buy the wood... got it from school.

Made from 15mm MDF and pine strips.

Wooly Door mat for pedals to stick to.

Plasti-kote black enamel paint.

Bits of Meccano to stick Wah to board.

Bit of thinking and it works better than any other board iv tried so far!!!

Great job, can't beat a homemade pedal board

last summer I was trying to invent a pedal board that would work kind of like a flute mechanism....if you pressed one pedal, it could also activate 2 or more other pedals, and so on. But that was only smart until I found out about MIDI lol

Nicely done, from the photos looks very well indeed. Neccessity is the mother of invention or something like that. I just spent $300 on a board, yours looks as good as the one I bought.

Sweet Cheers dudes appreciate your comments.

lets see pics of your pedal boards!!

BluesRocker · 01-20-2010, 04:36 AM

I've made 2 all together.. I made one that was HUGE (see pic) for all my pedals that I had, and for the ones that were on order. I quit using that one cause having all my pedals on it seemed a bit noisy so I made a smaller one. (note the pic of the big one doesnt have any pedals on it but my Les Paul is there to show the size.)

Just wondering - what do you guys use to transport your pedalboards - i.e in terms of an exterior case.

Or do you simply remove your pedals from the board when you want to transport and set them up again each gig?

I did one too about a year ago it turned out killer!!
I used diamond plate contact paper(sticker) to cover the bottom, then aluminium thingies that slip on the edge of the wood which gave it a great look + more strength since the wood doesn frail on the edges and glued on some quality car carpeting (the ones under the rubber carpets) which is a little higher quality than a standard carpet.
anyways nice job and remember the best is DIY because you know its sturdy as fu++ and dependable!!!
