Don't know if I ever posted my pedal board builds on here...
A buddy and I went halvies on the required pine ply to make the pedal boards (we made two)... The pine ply cost like R200 - R300 and then couple hundred bucks for the "brandering"/thinner bracing.
Some latches, screws, wood glue, acoustic carpet and stain.
Got the pine ply precut from timbercity.
This is the base before we added the top layer of pine ply, covered in acoustic carpet.
The base including the carpet covered part.
The lid looked like a coffin :-P, here you can see us test fitting the base whilst having it upside down. Yes, the lid was "deeper" than we needed and the board was MUCH bigger than we'd ever need.
This was his pedal board layout. I don't have any pics of mine right now...
I later scaled down my pedal board (I think I posted this pic somewhere):
My current pedalboard :-P
For the context I was playing in (church without massive amproom thing) I couldn't get the tone I wanted out of my DSL401 Marshall tube amp and individual stomps setup... so I used a boss GT8 for a while before upgrading to the HD500X.
Will I stay digital? Will I go back to analogue? Who knows... maybe if the band takes off I will go all "rockstar" again.
