Pedalboard finally complete

[mike0]

i posted some recent pics of my pedal board in the DIY thread that was up a few weeks ago, but as of today i have finally completed all modifications and non-pedal related things on the board itself. just thought i'd repost some of the pics and show the progress it's gone under in over the past year.

this is from probably a year ago. big and bulky. wanted A LOT of pedals back then. can't really say that urge has gone away

... then i got a new head. some of the pedals i previously had didn't really do much for me anymore, so downsized and cut the big ol' bitch in half.

hinges and latches...

and now, as of today... patchbay!

inards!

as i mentioned in the DIY thread, bigass stainless steel handle on the back

top view!

i guess all i need to do now is upgrade my wah and patch cables. but that's for another time...

Pedalboards are never complete

Pedalboards are never complete

shhhhhhh. i want to finally sleep with the thought that i don't need anymore on it. usually i stay up late and try to find ridiculous things to slap on the velcro. i'll give that about two more days to set in again.

That's sweet man!

[mike0]

whoa...

the box itself is a hammond electrical enclosure that i managed to pick up off thE bay for cheap.
Hammond Mfg. - Small Enclosure Index
then i picked up some cheap jacks off of musiciansfriend, drilled holes in the box and put the jacks in, and soldered everything together

Very nice bit of kit!

Why thank you

Turns out i wasn't done. Surprise, right?

I bring you... velcro straps!!!!

Action shot!

That is all. Hopefully. Thanks for checkin it out!

 

[Augminished]

told you!

Great idea though. Might steal it

 

[mike0]

Oh you shut it I demand royalties

 

[Augminished]

you can have 0.0000000002% After all this is the music business.

Though I wouldn't make any money

Patent it and sell it to Trailer Trash Pedal boards and then make lots of $$$

 

[mike0]

You make it sound like the effort is almost worth it

 

[Augminished]

And you have to have a good bit of money for a patent attorney.

Forget the whole thing!

Step 1: Come up with design for super awesome cable holding Velcro straps
Step 2: ?????
Step 3: I forgot step 3...

 

[mike0]

Profit will find its way in there somewhere, right?!?!

 

[Augminished]

NO!

Looks killer dude! I just rebuilt my Pedal Train for the 1000th time last night and I think I maaaaay have it pretty much done. You should stain that thing!

 

[mike0]

Oh that would be sweet. I think if i do any coloring to it it will be with spray paint staining seems like a bit too much work

 

[Ironbird]

That came out great!
