Home made ish

This is my pedal board . ( click for large image )

I'm not big on pedals , and generally keep it to basic requirements , though I do have another dedicated floorboard if I need it .

It's basically made of solid wood ( looks like pine ) .

Obviously i've not wired it up just for the camera , but you can get the gist .

The wah and trem only get plugged in if needed , as my amp has a vintage trem on it anyway which sounds ok .

The top and bottom are covered in industrial velcro , and I took the inards from a briefcase and velcro'd ( is that the way to write it lol ? ) it inside the top , which is very handy for storing spare batteries , set lists , leads etc etc .

The pedals on show are a cry baby wah , Tu2 tuner , Keeley TS808 , Marshall Guvnor , Arion Chorus , Rocktron delay , and line 6 trem . I use the chorus mainly for a rotary effect similar to what you hear in songs like Cold Shot etc .

The board is powered by a Sound lab pedal power which is perfect and only cost about £17 .
Like I said , I keep it basic but every pedal on the board is an absolute gem , and i'll probably stick with that set up unless things change drastically .

It probably cost about £45 for the board to be made by a carpenter about 8 years ago , and about £15 to get the velcro shipped , and about £6 each for the cables , but I guess if I had to buy something similar in the shops , it would cost a lot more .
The underneath has 4 rubber feet , and there are 4 catches / clamps in total .

Very neat and tidy no fuss set up
