Weekend Project

[FenianEMT]

I've had my pedals in a mess on the floor for quite some time, and decided it was time to do something about it. One of my best friends recently put together a woodworking shop, and he is happy to help with projects. So we put this together last weekend. He probably deserves far more of the credit for the carpentry than I do, but either way, I'm incredibly happy with the result. I deliberately left lots of room for additional pedals, and I'm sure there are probably far more efficient layouts, but it's my first attempt, and the velcro should make it pretty easy to reconfigure. Power is provided by a Pedal Lab Voodoo Power 4x4 which is velcroed to the bottom. There are four TS jacks (well, three at the moment...I got two consecutive defective ones from Sweetwater, and now they're out of stock, so I'm waiting on a working fourth) on the back to handle the front-end pedals and the effects loop.

We basically did the build described here, but with the connectors moved to the back, extra jacks for the effects loop, and 20" x 16" instead of 24" x 16" as described in the article.

Sweet! I love it when a plan comes together!

Very nice! Now the question is...which pedal is first to start filling in all that empty space?

I'm pretty happy with what I have so far. The first will almost certainly be an amp foot switch when I buy a new amp (likely at Experience). Thinking about a Timeline at some point, but there's no serious rush, and it ain't cheap, so I don't know when that's likely to happen. I don't really have too much else in mind right now, but odds are I'll start lusting after something else soon.
