Expanding Pedalboard - Layout and Wiring Tips for a Compact Setup
The X-Series from Pivotal Pedalboards represents a modern breakthrough in compact pedalboard design. Thanks to an innovative patent pending design, these feature-packed pedalboards actually expand on stage when it’s time to play and shrink back down to a more manageable size when it’s time to transport, travel and store them.
In this video we’ll show the full build process of an in-house pedalboard setup. We’ll cover board selection and layout planning, gathering components, signal path and wiring, cable organization, and effective labeling.
This rig uses our X14 pedalboard for a compact but very capable setup, featuring 9 pedals with full switcher control, MIDI functionality, audition loop, and external MIDI, USB, and DC power.

    Does the X26 fit it in an overhead?

    • @PivotalPedalboards
      @PivotalPedalboards 3 місяці тому

      The most common carry on dimensions are 22x14x9 which is the size of the X20. The X26 is a little too large for carry on. Cheers!

  • @ArrakisOCE

    That's great! The next step would be to put all your pedals in a portable rack case in the backline and just use a wireless MIDI controller.

  • @joshp5563
    @joshp5563 8 місяців тому

    The X14 is a little too small for the board I want but the X20 is way too large. I think a 16 would be perfect.

      Yes, all X-Series models are very solid and suitable for use with or without switching systems. Cheers!

    Can you reorder each side of the stereo pairs? For example, using loop 4 into loop 1

    • @PivotalPedalboards
      @PivotalPedalboards Рік тому

      With the RJM PBC6X, if the system is being used in dual mono mode as it is here then loops 1-11 can be completely reordered on a preset by preset basis. In this mode, each stereo pair from the switcher can become 2 mono loops and placed where ever you like in the signal chain. Hope this helps, cheers!

    Lots of awesome ideas here, really love the design. A little pricey.... but very well thought out. Is there an option to have the IEC cable plugged in without extending the 2nd tier? in some situations a smaller board is better and having the option to have access to just the top row on smaller stage might be be useful. Awesome work!

    • @PivotalPedalboards
      @PivotalPedalboards 2 роки тому

      We do have the option of a PowerCon AC connector shown at 4:26 in our AUX 3 panel that could power you through the side wall instead of the IEC connector. Cheers!
