multi layer pedal board for guitar~

Step 12 Final

the bottom layer straps to the top layer holding it secure. the audio and electric run perpendicular adn completely separate. all of this then fits snugly into the case and the rubber grommets on the bottom have bolts that go through them that go through the bottom layer to the top layer holding it all very secure together. i am happy.

How did you attach the bottom layer to the case it's self? Did you just use glue or did you put bolts through the case? or does it just sit loose in the case?

hey Jday, good question. i pondered how to do it for a while then i came up with a good solution. i removed the screws that were holding the rubber grommets on. i then ran a bolt up through the grommets up through the top layer and bolted them down.......actually used recessed nuts on top. it is clean~ what does your pedal board look like?

Oh I see the rubber grommets that came with the dj case, got it. Well I run a stereo rig so all my pedals have 2 ins and 2 outs, since my RIC has stereo output. Anyhow I am in the process of upgrading and replacing several pedals. But generally I have 2 line 6 tone core pedals, when I am done I will have 4: delay, chorus, reverb and trem. I will also have 2 whammy wahs controlled by a midi expression pedal and on off switch. I am looking into getting 2 compression units, I have one now. And also 2 distortion pedals, I have one now. For the mono compression and distortion boxes I will be building a pair of bypass boxes using parts from www.smallbearelec.com. I will also be wanting to get either a single line6 fm4, or 2 moog mf-107s controlled by yet another stero bypass box. I am getting ready to convert an oldschool leather suitcase into a pedalboard using several of your ideas, specifically about using one layer for power and another for patch cables. One idea I would also like to include is the thing that trailertrash pedalboards have on the side for plugging in a power cable.

Oh yeah and one more thing I want to get pretty bad is a MegaWah. Which when run in stereo has a mode where one channel has the envelope going up and the other channel has the envelope going down at the same time when the expression pedal is used.
