i really love the way Dave makes his videos, it almost feels like a friend who's showing you how his pedalboard is organized and it's looking for a way to change it
Flat pedal boards are amazing, and you can add risers/drawers to them which make them very useful. I made my own pedalboard with a 2x4", and a 2x6", along with some commercial carpet that I glued to the boards with Elmers glue, just turn them carpet side down with the weight of the board holding and pressing down, and let it dry overnight. Then just got a 1" wide role of 'male' sided velrco. I used a Donner power supply, very nice, not expensive, no noise coming from it, has 8 or 9 outlets.
If you like flat boards, it’d be so easy to make something custom to whatever size/dimensions you need/prefer. I’m thinking that’s what I’m going to do for my next board. Currently using a Holey Board, but it’s got some limitations.
Looking and sounding awesome! Simple and genius idea to label your pedals on the power supply. I’ve always thought about doing it too, but never have. Every time I have had an issue I regret not doing it. 😂
For your mini pedals that are just below your power-supply you could get some elevated buttons from Barefoot Buttons that would give you some better clearance for your foot. They just fit on the footswitch with a set-screw. They have a plethora of cool stuff 🤘 Edit: Just saw you mention buying those footswitch thingies for those pedals lol
Not sure how much vertical space you have when you pack that board away in its case for travel - but a thought I had was making a "shelf" for the engine room (similiar to your other board). Wouldnt need to be too high, just enough to clear the engine room. You could also cut into the back a little notch for the powersupply out if its catching the edge banding of the board if its flat on regular board. Bit of DIY which I know you are handy at, but again dependent on how big the case is - but if that worked would give some extra room "on top" of the engine. Could drill some holes on the sides / top of the shelf to just add some venting as well if needed.
I will soon remake my pedal board. I purchased a BluGuitar Iridium and have to wait about 4 to 6 weeks as its back ordered. The "I CAN'T WAIT" is terrible. Anyway just a suggestion on the pedal board case. I ALWAYS have and will build my own pedal board from wood at my local store. To make it a smaller footprint I make mine 2 levels vertically. As far as the case. I purchase a hard shell suitcase like for clothing. I modify the case to fit and secure my pedal board by gluing in foam. WAY cheaper and much better than the marketed pedal boards and cases in my opinion. Great video Dave! Cheers from New Mexico, USA.
Love watching this. Partly because it's always fun to see the thought processes behind a board build & because I recently rejigged my board for the sake of space (actually requiring the sale of my Vox Wah for a Mini-Wah and a serious rethink on whether I need to custom kit some patch cables in the future). Now for my dual mono crap, I'm set in every regard. Though I see a millimetre of empty space on a board & think "what can I get in there?". Would caution on those Barefoot buttons for the NUX pedals. I've heard people say they can cause the switches to break if you are inaccurate and/or heavy footed.
It was interesting watching you work everything out on your board. Mine has an angled construction that lets me put the power brick underneath. That is a nice new power supply you have, it does take up some space though! I know you travel with yours a lot and need the top to fit and protect everything. Cheers Dave!🍻
I have a Flashback delay that does that shimmering sound too. Yours sounded really nice with that Mel9, I'm looking forward to hearing what you do with them. I love the Marshall SV case !💕
I managed to get a pedaltrain really cheap and I felt the same about the angle, I found out they do boosters though which has made it ten times better for me. Great video man, could watch you rearrange pedals for days haha
I feel like the obvious solution is a "pedaltrain" style raised/angled pedalboard. You can install the power supply on the bottom, and have that much more space for pedals. They also make feeding cables much easier. I admire your "use what you've got" attitude though.
Edit: You do mention your preference for flat boards. I will say, I found it weird getting used to angled/raised board myself. Wah/expression pedals just aren't ideal for them, so keep them on the ground next to the pedaltrain. All other pedals, once you get used to it, feel fine to switch on and off, without feeling like you have to balance on one foot to turn on a pedal. Food for thought!
I also prefer FLAT boards as does guitar greats Paul Gilbert and Jake E Lee to name a few. Home made as well....."I could buy one, but where's the fun in that?"---as Paul Gilbert said in interview....I found single shelves from a local hardware,Home Depot type stores works great. They come in various sizes and colours or wood tones. So far I have White, Concrete, Stained Wood and "Black Shale". That combined with the stick on rubber feet AND Velcro came to less than 1 Slanted "Pro" board. Throw the completed board in a guitar bag or old case as Paul recommends or wrap in a heavy towel and a carry bag. Voila!!!....you are set to go. Whatever, the options are limitless. One thing I did discover. White or brightly coloured boards with white or neon patch cables, and even brightly coloured tape is AWESOME.....Yes, I know Black and Chrome looks more "Metal". but on dark stages, Bright colours are a Godsend. You can even buy those little Led stick on lights from the same hardware store.....Never be lost on a dark stage again!!!....For a fraction of the cost. And as always, don't forget the Zoom G2......Cheers Dave.
Raise them two peddles you've just added a bit sit them on wood like the zoom, I think giving them a little more clearance might help as you are having to tread really carefully. You dont want to upset the settings on the pedals in front.
yeah I've been looking at the voodoo vibe, seems good, but i also felt that it's precursor, the Monterey vibe was slightly better cause i felt like the drive was more pronounced, but you've shown i could just add my own distortion and it would be pretty much the same. -those things are usually referred to as "toppers" or switch topper
Great vid as usual. Felt the cogitation and brainstorming there! Yes, logistics. Nightmare. I'm currently procrastinating long and hard about the fact that I have to completely dismantle and remove my entire studio setup to paint and revamp the room, before moving everything back in and rejigging and re-cabling the entire setup to incorporate my new USB mixer and a new Sampler, both of which also have to be setup within my DAW and the audio routings worked out. I need an assistant! Enjoy the new board setup. Good work!
The usual "and another thing" from me. I need to work on that ;) I would love a Vox Wah-wah. I previously had a Morley but donated it to a friend before I moved to the US. ua-cam.com/video/JKqSg-A2eRk/v-deo.html
Only partway through the vid at the moment, but it might be worth checking out the Schmidt Array pedalboards. They're very expensive, but also extremely functional and resolve a number of issues. If you get one of their _wx models, the main board will be angled, but the cutouts for wah/expression pedals are flat. Martin also does custom stuff (if you wanted a cutout for your Zoom). You can also get a lid for the board or even a flight case specifically sized for it. I have a SA750XDM_wx and it's fantastic! It cost quite a bit, but I'd absolutely buy it again. I expect to have it for the rest of my life. /fanboy Another item that could help is a loop switcher. You could either go completely crazy with programmable presets, the ability to re-order pedals on the fly, midi switching, etc. (i.e. Boss ES-8, GigRig G3) or something more basic that just puts the on-off switching up front (like the GigRig Quartermaster). One of the real benefits of a switcher is that it no longer matters if the individual pedals' footswitches are easily accessible, since the pedal always stays on and gets moved into and out of the signal chain by the switcher. This makes board Tetris a lot easier.
Adding a Jam Pedals "Rattler" (Rat) tomorrow...hopefully will arrive on time🤞 Have to arrange the board so there's room for a Jam Pedals "Whacko" wah.🤔 😎👍❤🖖
Nice Pedalboard Dave, looks really sharp and powerful. with regards to your nano univibe and reverb pedals, you might want to add a mount of sort to them for height purposes
Dave, Excellent video - great fun!! I love this stuff! A couple of comments based on personal experience.The Fender Engine Room is taking up valuable real estate on top of the pedal board. So, why not mount it underneath the board and simply make holes for the individual supply cables? Also, I'm worrying about is the number of pedals that the guitar signal has to pass through in a daisy-chained configuration - particularly as you're planning to add pedals.Each pedal sucks a little bit of tone and signal strength whether it's on or off. Have you tried the QuarterMaster switch? This device switches each pedal in or out of the signal path as required. When a pedal is switched out the signal path it short circuits the 'off' pedal which means no signal/tone loss. Also, use of the QM means that all of your foot switches are at the from of he board. No more peddle dancing! Keep up the amazing work! Malcolm.
Put something on top of the Engine Room. Wasted space. If it can't be directly on top, get some metal bent and create a shelf above it. Best Regards and Best Wishes for 2023!
If long enough leads Dave, could you not have a separate bit at the back just for the PSU? Take the leads out and tie them when not in use and just plug in when you do? You'd have a ton of space for pedals with that off the board. I have a flat pedal board and although mine is smaller, my PSU isn't on the board. You can then also have a small water resistant case or something for the PSU itself for transport. Just thinking here as you're much more in the know than myself. Especially k owing what you want on there of course. But it's essentially what you've done with it but remove it off the board. If leads are long enough. Edit: for some reason I prefer my Wah off the board too and to the right on a slight diagonal. So big those things but I just prefer it. No idea why.
I’m cringing now Dave 😂 Good luck and I’ve learned “ never attack Pboards unless I have 3ft of pedal patch cables “ and if I don’t have that , I don’t even look at the Pboard … Like you said “ it’s over b4 it begins “ if you don’t have the right size patch cables. Like that labeled system .. that Marshall head box is really 👍.
I have just spent today doing this very thing as i have done a few times before. It is very frustrating and only a mad man would do this to himself. My advice to anyone is to avoid it completely unless you have totally planned and prepared for everything. I have just finished setting up a double pedal board containing 16 pedals. 8 of them being Big chunky EHX and a Korg Nuvibe which will not work unless separately powered. Need I say more? I am Mad.Cheers from Adelaide South Australia.
And i like angled boards but I place the wah and volume pedal off the board on to the floor right next to the board. Also I don't gig with my pedals they stay home. I gig with a Vox tonelab ST. cheers
I've recently taken my delays and reverb off my board and run them through the amps effects loop and I'll never go back....now only my ODs and Distortion and Chorus and EQ and Compressor go through the front of the amp. I've retired the wah...just don't feel it anymore when I play.
I must be the most deranged guitarist ever. I use 10 pedals on my main board, which contains a few digital and a multifx (Zoom G2.1u) and I just use a daisy chain with a 1 Spot. Also, with some 1x2 pieces of wood, a saw, a ruler and some screws, you can make whatever sized pedalboard you could desire. I've built 5 or 6 at this point.
Dave, have you ever considered Daisy chaining the drives? They use very low current and I haven’t had any issues with noise Daisy chaining 3-4 overdrive pedals.
Hi Dave im new to you channel and im intrigued by your use of the old zoom and for what purpose. Have you tried upgrading it for newer zoom multi effects or is this one a hidden gem or something? many thanks mate
What is the white or blue pedal that produces the chorus/synth effect, that is very cool. Love these vids, always learn something out of them, cheers ✌️👍 ohh shimmer effect, can't wait for review i love the sound.
I would go for a more modular setup, your current setup looks bulky to me and hard to carry around. Maybe some day you will give up the whole current concept and switch to a DSP modeling solution like the Line 6 Helix and a regular PA or FRFR amplifier. A lot of modern floor effect paddels these days use A/D conversion, so when one of these units is in your effect chain your sound is digital already anyway.
Have you considered binning off the Zoom and the DL4 and replacing both with an HX Stomp and a mini expression pedal? (Assuming you use the pedal on the Zoom)
what if you take the plynth from under the power supply and slide it to where the 2 middle pedals are and velcro the 2 middle pedals in the proper relative buttons/switches position to the top of the Engine Room?
Dave, sometimes your accent needs subtitles 😂 This is in the intro. I speak and understand English fairly good, but some of those sentences went right over my head. (I’m Norwegian 😁)
I do like your videos very much! No criticism from me. Since I’m not a native speaker, and my northern Norwegian accent is kinda special as well, I take it as a challenge 😁
You're creating your own problems my friend :) With a angled pedalboard, you could have the power supply under the board and not on top. Without que power supply in the way, things would be so much easier for you. Cheers. HM
Hey Dave, i just bought a COB squier bullet, and there's something wrong with the finish. It's the guitar is cream colored but the finish is softer than usual and it chips easily. Underneath the cream color is seafoam. Is that the primer?
Has anyone tried the patch cable kits? Are they any good, when working from lower left to right you have to go back up the the top right, it's a bit of a stretch
@@thedavesimpson ah, that explains. Like others suggested maybe just put pedals on top of the power supply. Although some pedals wil hum when they are to close to the transformers in a power supply, others are fine.
Bro, I've been watching your channel for years. You need a new fuzz... I mean you hardly use this beaten Double Muff and let's be honest it's not the best pedal in the world. I really think a new mind blowing fuzz would change your mind :) Try Variac MXR before the DS-2 - it's blowing my mind. All the Muffs doesn’t work like the Variac
i really love the way Dave makes his videos, it almost feels like a friend who's showing you how his pedalboard is organized and it's looking for a way to change it
Love to see you do a collab with The Pedal Show.
Never happen. They don’t like me because I use solid state amps.
@@thedavesimpson bigots tube snobs they are haha , you’ve got a blues junior tube amp don’t you?
@@thedavesimpson thats kinda lame from them tbh.
That would be huge :)
They're pretentious cork sniffers

Wow, love the Guv'nor in the center. I just bought a Harley Benton Spaceship (what a name!) it has an integrated power supply.
Love you Dave!
Well done Dave. Your new pedals sound good and you got everything on your board you wanted . 👍👍👍
Saint Dave strikes again !

I think the adjectives you are looking for, regarding the buttons on the pedals, are soft (click) vs hard (click).
I feel like the obvious solution is a "pedaltrain" style raised/angled pedalboard. You can install the power supply on the bottom, and have that much more space for pedals. They also make feeding cables much easier. I admire your "use what you've got" attitude though.

add the extra pedals on top of the engine room just put some pedal board tape on top.
I use a triangular cake slicer to ease velcro apart when I change pedals . Stops the tape tearing off pedal or board. Don't tell her downstairs.

Dual tier board- made one, haven't looked back since
Also- second hand pelicase from eBay with some interior foam would work as a case

How about a wider board, go wide by about 12-18 inches or 30-45 cm. Do your self a favor and bump out the sides and we can get back to the music.
I think it's always funny when you explain your pedal chain in reverse :) I always wonder why! always fun to watch you re-do your board dave.
Its just the way I’ve always seen it. :)

Take your Zoom off your board and use it before or after your pedals. That will give you room to fit your power pack and two additional pedals. 👍
Nope.

I’m cringing now Dave 😂
Good luck and I’ve learned “ never attack Pboards unless I have 3ft of pedal patch cables “ and if I don’t have that , I don’t even look at the Pboard …

why not mount the engine room underneath the pedal board ? you'll be able to mount more pedals easily.
My board is flat to the floor.
@@thedavesimpson ahh, I see. Your video inspired me to streamline my own pedalboard so thanks it's been a good afternoon .
I've recently taken my delays and reverb off my board and run them through the amps effects loop and I'll never go back....now only my ODs and Distortion and Chorus and EQ and Compressor go through the front of the amp. I've retired the wah...just don't feel it anymore when I play.
Love it love it love it
You inspire me to pick up the guitar again and again man ✌️
I must be the most deranged guitarist ever. I use 10 pedals on my main board, which contains a few digital and a multifx (Zoom G2.1u) and I just use a daisy chain with a 1 Spot.
Also, with some 1x2 pieces of wood, a saw, a ruler and some screws, you can make whatever sized pedalboard you could desire. I've built 5 or 6 at this point.
I would get CIOKS DC7 and CIOKS 4 or CIOKS 8. It is more expensive solutions, but better IMO.
I’ve got a True Tone one spot power supply very good also
Yo Dave.... look up for the Schmidt Array in Germany... they are insanely expensive lol... But they look amazing.
Hello Dave 👋
I used to have a green line 6 delay nice pedal
You may need a rack with draws and some sort of switcher?
I hope not. :)
Dave, have you ever considered Daisy chaining the drives? They use very low current and I haven’t had any issues with noise Daisy chaining 3-4 overdrive pedals.
I have yeps but don’t really need to right now.
Thank you for this. No PastFX Chorus Ensemble anymore?

@@thedavesimpson thank you very much
Hi Dave im new to you channel and im intrigued by your use of the old zoom and for what purpose. Have you tried upgrading it for newer zoom multi effects or is this one a hidden gem or something? many thanks mate
I have tried the new ones but this one just has sometimes special. :)
You should a video about King of tone Analog man Pedal. Also good alternatives to this pedal. Would love to here your opinion on this pedal.
Put the reverb in the golden place
Easier tho reach
What is the white or blue pedal that produces the chorus/synth effect, that is very cool. Love these vids, always learn something out of them, cheers ✌️👍 ohh shimmer effect, can't wait for review i love the sound.
I would go for a more modular setup, your current setup looks bulky to me and hard to carry around.

A lot of modern floor effect paddels these days use A/D conversion, so when one of these units is in your effect chain your sound is digital already anyway.
I’ve tried that several times and didn’t like it. I always come back to my pedals and amps. :)
Have you considered binning off the Zoom and the DL4 and replacing both with an HX Stomp and a mini expression pedal? (Assuming you use the pedal on the Zoom)
I have but I’m happy with where i am here. :)
You can put pedals on the power supply
You can but I won’t fit the lid on if i did. Sadly.
#9 is good
Pedaltastic
could do the kurt cobain thing and use two smaller boards. drives on one side and mods on other side
what if you take the plynth from under the power supply and slide it to where the 2 middle pedals are and velcro the 2 middle pedals in the proper relative buttons/switches position to the top of the Engine Room?
pedal train do a big flat pedalboard with case designed for stuff like the helix I remember Andy from guitar geek showing one.
Ooooo. Thank you. :)
Dave,
Do you have a top for your board for safe transportation?Any chance of a video showing your pedal settings please?
I do have a lid for it yes and I have vids on my pedal settings.
I bet I wasn't the only one yelling suggestions at you while watching.🤭
Dave, sometimes your accent needs subtitles 😂
This is in the intro. I speak and understand English fairly good, but some of those sentences went right over my head. (I’m Norwegian 😁)
I do like your videos very much! No criticism from me. Since I’m not a native speaker, and my northern Norwegian accent is kinda special as well, I take it as a challenge 😁
You're creating your own problems my friend :)
With a angled pedalboard, you could have the power supply under the board and not on top.
Without que power supply in the way, things would be so much easier for you.
Cheers.

I hate angles boards. I’d be creating a problem of I used one.
Hey Dave, i just bought a COB squier bullet, and there's something wrong with the finish. It's the guitar is cream colored but the finish is softer than usual and it chips easily. Underneath the cream color is seafoam. Is that the primer?
No idea. It shouldn’t be. I’d return it and get another.
What board do you have? I need a board myself and i like yours
Its a diago showman.
Hi Dave, so the Zoom is okay with the engine room 500mA? My Zoom G2.1u is 9V 300mA.. thank u 🙏
It is fine yes.
Would the Zoom being mounted on top of the engine room make it to tall?
Yep sadly.
Has anyone tried the patch cable kits? Are they any good, when working from lower left to right you have to go back up the the top right, it's a bit of a stretch
Can't the power supply go underneath the board? I got my one spot cs12 underneath a pedaltrain. Big space saver.
Nope. My board is flat.
@@thedavesimpson ah, that explains. Like others suggested maybe just put pedals on top of the power supply. Although some pedals wil hum when they are to close to the transformers in a power supply, others are fine.
Can't you put the power underneath?
No. My boards a flat one. I hate the angles boards.
@@thedavesimpson Aha gotcha. My board has a cavity to stow the power in but I guess it is also slightly angled.
What are the dimensions of the board?
Does your brother have a UA-cam channel?
Sadly not no.
Which zoom pedal is that?
G2.1u
@@thedavesimpson thank you! Great video. Always enjoy your content.
Dave you should have played tetris more
Bro, I've been watching your channel for years. You need a new fuzz... I mean you hardly use this beaten Double Muff and let's be honest it's not the best pedal in the world. I really think a new mind blowing fuzz would change your mind :) Try Variac MXR before the DS-2 - it's blowing my mind. All the Muffs doesn’t work like the Variac
I don’t even use fuzz anymore. :)
Real guitarist problems
😂
Hi 😊👋
Congrats with you're "strairway to pedalbordheaven " build 🤣🤣🤣.
Dave, why you don't use a Tone Bender?
Not a fan of them.
