Re: pedalboard dharma



Title: pedalboard dharma
don't pay somebody to do it for you...do it yourself!!! 
 
i build a wooden pedalboard with case cover all out of this nice pine board (no, lowes didn't have any purpleheart or bubinga) and i use one of those things they use to tie boats to the dock as a handle and window locks to keep the case on top for travel.  it's sturdy as can be and looks pretty cool when it's packed up...and it's got personality (read: homemade).
 
1.  first of all, velcro the whole surface.  moving things around from gig to gig will eventually wear out your velcro, so i'd try to find a happy medium.  you'll get used to it and then you won't even have to look down.
 
2.  why do you have a pedal post-edp?  why not just use midi to control output/feedback?  i have three volume pedals and an all access.  from my board there are three wires: all access power, midi, and audio.
 
3.  build a board and build a lid.  otherwise, you're just asking for broken pedals.
 
4.  remove the rubber feet.  most are either screwed in or glued on.  either way, get them off and attach the velcro to the entire bottom side of the pedal.  those little guys won't budge after that.
