Built my first board!

Decided my first wood working project would be a pedal board. It's awful and I love it. Spray painted it yellow to match my amp! Rate my setup 👀

First Pedalboard!

Had these pedals for a good while but it was a chore setting them all up whenever i wanted to play guitar so it kinda put me off. Decided to finally invest in a proper pedalboard. as you can see I don’t have too many pedals at the moment so i’ve put everything in the centre for aesthetic’s sake, hopefully be picking up a couple more in the next while to fill the board up

Thanks for all the help.

Almost done…

Going to add an overdrive (thinking Badder Monkey), then need to find the patience to organize the cables underneath…

Look for an Adam Jones style pedalboard

Hey everyone,

I’m looking to buy a custom tiered/angled pedalboard similar to an Adam Jones (Tool) style setup. I already have the pedals, so I’m just looking for the board itself (no wiring or power needed). I’m commissioning a builder or buying a used/custom board.

Was bored at work so built my bassist a pedalboard out of cardboard and tape

He doesn’t own a board, or any pedals. Had these layin around so figured id give them to him lol

Building first pedalboard, looking for feedback

I am building my first pedal board after playing for years. I am looking for feedback/ suggestions for pedals.

Signal chain

Keeley Compressor Plus (always on, tucked under riser)

EB-10 (I play single coil, humbuckers, and p90s so I like this EQ for leveling out my guitars quickly)

POG Pico

ODR-1x

Prince of Tone

Greer Lightspeed (always on, low drive)

EP booster (used as volume boost for solos)

Amp Send

Julianna chorus

Carbon Copy

Omniverb

My tuner is not part of the signal chain and get signal from a tuner out on my patch bay.

I am really happy with my gain stage and order, I typically run the Nobles with the gain boost on and the prince of tone in overdrive mode but rarely run both at the same time.

I use the reverb on my amp at home, however I play outside my house a lot and don’t drag my amp, which I why I opted for a simple reverb on the end of my chain so I have access, my patch bay has a series mode where it bypasses the FX loop. I do have an output buffer for the end of my chain.

I am looking for a versatile board, but with relatively simple pedals (fewer knobs and settings). I mostly play edge of breakup to fill distortion.

I thought about getting a fuzz or heavier distortion pedal, but I thought I that might be too much gain stage, plus I heard fuzz does not play nicely with buffers.

I am open to any feedback and suggestions.
