helge Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 Hi, if anyone is interested, i finished my new board last weekend. as you can see the pedals are at three different heights, so that they are all easily reachable. well, heres the pic. let me know, what you think about it.

weezerboy Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 thats a cool idea, its better than having a 17ft long pedalboard at least i'm assuming there is space under the raised bits? why not stick some superbright LEDs in the space so you can have lighting?

Daniel Sorbera Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Like BOSS much? Looks good, but I'd cover it in something. It just looks "not quite done" as a peice of wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegarehanman Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 I agree with godin. It's very close to looking very professional, but it's not quite there. I made a dresser once with panels of luan mahogany plywood recessed into the doors, drawer fronts, and sides. I covered the plywood with a sheet of aluminum flashing and hit the whole thing with a wire brush chucked into a drill for a brushed aluminum look. It turned out great. I think this would look pretty awesome with the same treatment. Also, what's holding the pedals down? You might benefit from buying a roll of velcro to keep everything in its place. Overall, great job. I'm running out of room on my current pedal board and I really like your design; I might have to hijack it. peace, russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helge Posted June 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 hi, thanks for the quick answers...i'm also still thinking about the finish of the wood...its just, that i dont like it black or dark in any way...the idea with the aluminium is great...might do that...the pedals are holded down by screws...i kept two original screws in the pedal and got me the exact screws, just longer and then drilled them through the board into the original holes in the pedal...its really save and they will never come off, unless i want them to...and yeah, there is space under the raised bits...the powercables are there...hate it, when they are all over the place...i can take some more closeup pictures, if you are interested...

thegarehanman Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 I don't need any more pictures. It's just the 3 tiers and the area for the expression pedals that I like, your basic configuration. I think I might copy it buy change it a little bit so that the two upper tiers are on hinges so they can be lifted up. I think I'll also have each progressive tier a bit further forward, so they cover the lower level's knobs and what not. That would really cut down on the space it takes up. peace, russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helge Posted June 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 i can adjust them with the screw-nut, but right now its the highest, so that the cover still fits on it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ansil Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 very nice indeed. for those of you interested you can also use Greatstuff expansion foam to form fit your pedals. just wrap them up first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cr_XD Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 why not stick some superbright LEDs in the space so you can have lighting? or some neon string they sell for computer modding, they run on 12 volts and will give a cooler effect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovekraft Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 Unless you're really adept at noise isolation and troubleshooting, I'd avoid those 12 volt neons - the switching power supply can wreak havoc with your signal chain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregP Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 Ansil, I'd be curious to see the final product of that all tidied up-- with just the Great Stuff, it looks a mess and it's hard to tell what's happening! Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ansil Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 well alas i dont' have a pic GregP. I am sorry but basically all i did was pull out the pedals trim up the foam with a razor knife and then glue on some very nice gothic black fuzzy material [fuzzy but not linty] and then sewed on some nice burgundy material [kind of like a coffin liner for a bad horror movie] plus all the fun stuff like custom switching and a custom 2A powersupply with sag options. it was a sweet piece but i ended up ripping out the nice burgundy material and scrapped the whole thing because the guy stopped paying on it and i lost the switching schematic that i spent a couple of days on. after that i just chunked it. but i am like that sometimes i just can it. The first Vampyre amp head i just chucked it [the head not the chasis and parts] And i junked the First penguin amp head [but to be fair the head box i was using for it was a makeshift one as perry was building his own but i had no contact with him for months on end so i was unsure if we were still on or not later i needed the money and sold it after christmas] anyway if i do another one i will try to take more pics now that i have the driver for my camera [cheapy one] and i have a new 160 gig HD that i can't get the computer to reckognize. ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
