My DIY pedalboard ... sort of

crawler486 · January 03, 2005, 02:05:27 AM

Still has lots of room left for other pedals but I guess I'll rest/stop building for a while. This addictive hobby is starting to interfere with my work!!!.

As usual all components are of cheap materials specially the light duty switches (though I havent broken one yet so far).
3pdt switches here would already allow me to build at least 3 pedals.

Anyways, Manigong Bagong Taon Sa inyong Lahat!!

Thats a nice board and some nice work too !
I like those "aluminium" knobs, I just treated myself to a few, man this hobby gets expensive heh !
I've got to work for a few months, so wont be building much for a while.
Want to complete my HMP first if I can.

Cheers,
Marty.

Yeah, I can relate. When you are drilling and/or painting enclosures when you go home for lunch and drawing PCB layouts at work, something is definitely wrong!

Did you make those connectors between the pedals, or did you buy them? They clean up the board so much, but they're so expensive to buy. Looks great!

thanks...

I made them using angular aluminum. In here, its usually used in building aluminum door frames.

The cheapest I can find them is here for $2 apiece.

Here they're $3.50 apiece (but Neutrik brand).

Where do you live?

Those work fine for DIY or boutique enclosures with good switchcraft-style chassis-mount jacks that are exactly at the same height. For commercial pedals that are not exactly the same or have PCB mounted jacks, they are trouble.

I'm from the Philippines. Commodities here seems so cheap when converted to US dollars. A couple of a hundred bucks (US) would buy you tons of components.

with UK pounds, you'll be able to buy the store!!

cheers..
