Pedalboard Clocks

[Peegoo]

I want this, but with light up red digital numbers, like the standard hollywood bomb timer. Stages can be dark. Backlights don't stay on. Running on 9v would be a bonus.

runs on USB power or AC power.

I just don’t do well with anything on my wrists…watches, bracelets, handcuffs, anything

Merle Travis had a special mount for his watch on the back of his guitar, so he could see what time it is without the audience seeing him look at his watch.

Thanks! It's a little big, but it's the best contender I've seen yet. I think I can squeeze it on.

If it doesn't have a footswitch, then it was never meant to be on a board!


1590BB-sized clock, stop-watch, alarm — keep track of your sets and break-times.

^^^ Are those buffered? Stereo?

I turn my iPhone on the stopwatch shortly before I start, and that lets me know when I’m at an hour, etc.

I don’t put the phone on the pedalboard usually, but next to or behind the amp, which usually up on a table or chair.

Lately, I’m not even putting the pedalboard on the ground, just on a table or whatever next to the amp.

I'll just use my hand to punch the buttons.

Somewhere along the way I stopped being able to easily read the tiny writing on the pedals without hunching over, so it’s easier sometimes.

You need to be very careful with these.

I bought one that had true bypass, and I was not paying attention to the date settings when I unintentionally time-traveled back to 1996 when I was married. Good LORD that was frightening.

Followup…got the ones Peegoo mentioned way back in today. Smallish, but should work. Only niggles: the screw holding the battery compartment shut is so small that it will be near impossible for me to change it when necessary without a microscope and surgical tools.

But, at 3 bucks each, I think I can afford to chunk it at the fiddle player when either of them quit at in opportune times.

One more time...

With (green) feeling...

Was available in other-coloured LED readouts.



Glad you've found the one right for you, battery compartment-screw and fiddler be damned.

I wait for the hecklers to tell me. Sometimes it’s not long before they do.

Why not add a dB meter.

And while you're at it a compass so you don't get lost backstage, and thermometer and hydrometer to measure sweat level so you know when to change shirts.

lesson learned from a few decades of teaching: if you look at your watch everybody in the class will get restless & clock out of the class whether it's time or not. same is true if they see you glancing at a wall clock. my solution was to take my watch off & set it face-side-up on the table so they couldn't tell if I was looking at my watch or at the papers in front of me.

Somewhere I read that Merle Travis had some kind of hook or mount for his watch on the back of his guitar, so the audience couldn't see him looking at it.
