    Default Making pedalboard

    Decided its time to put the toys on a board. Some of them have little rubber feet so the bottom of the pedal is not in contact with whatever they're standing on, so I can't see how the velcro fixing method will work unless I make a spacer that sits between the board and the bottom of the pedal. Someone else MUST have solved that one by now!

    Am wondering whether 2 boards is a good idea: first board has wah, various ODs, swell - stuff that I always want in the same order. Two alternative second boards: one for driving one amplifier which contains DDL, phaser & boost, and another for driving 2 amplifiers containing switchbone, DDL, and phaser (in the FX loop of one of the amps).

    First time I've sat & thought about this, suggestions welcome.

    Re: the velcro issue, if the rubber feet are stick-on jobs, you can always warm them up with a haridryer and they'll usually come off with a little persuasion. If they're the screw on type, take them off completely and just get shorter screws. Or of course, you could always just use cable ties round the pedals and make suitable holes in the board.
    I'm fed up with people joking about dyslexia. It's not big and it's not furry.

    Fanx Boogie Man. Just saw a mate in the High Street and he said he drilled holes in his board for the feet to sit in. If I had my way I don't think I'd take the feet off.
