I watched a lot of UA-cam videos to get ideas for my board and yours is easily the most impressive. I built a board out of reclaimed burnt poplar from a construction site. It turned out great, but I'm jealous of your joints and recessed IEC. Awesome job man!
My pedal board is a sheet of 3/8th inch plywood and I keep it inside an old CNB case. I keep the power supply plugged into an extension cord, and made double sided velcro strips to tidy it up. I like my pedals low to the ground and this is the best and easiest solution.
Neat video. I know this is very late after the fact, but for anyone watching, for safety reasons you should have some form of insulation on the power jack where it joins the 4way power strip. It’s too easy to be fiddling inside the board and get electric shock at mains voltage. I used to build epos systems and we crimped on shielded spade connectors. So that there was no risk of electric shock from the power switch on the device if you were working on it plugged into the mains or forgot to remove the mains from the power supply, that way if you bridge connections with your fingers you were not touching bare metal I also recall something about not soldering main’s connection due to heat and solder low melting point. I worked on PCs for decades as a tech and always the mains was crimped on to power switches in the old AT power supply days that was from main system manufactures like IBM Dell, HP etc
This is pretty advanced, but your pedalboard came out looking great, and it gave me a few ideas I didn't even consider. This is the type of quality I'd work towards. Well done!
Boards like these are relatively easy to make (albeit time consuming) and look great, but ultimately if you are a gigging musician,they just aren't very practical. They're heavy and tall in the front which can make things awkward when having to switch a few pedals on the fly. Theres a reason pedaltrains and all their clones still sell like hotcakes. They're just more practical on stage and easier to transport. Im actually starting to modify floating aluminum shelves now for custom size pedalboards for a few of my clients that request them. They work great so long as you don't use ridiculous amounts of pedals in a live rig.But in a studio or home,wooden multi panel boards do look nice and accomodate as many pedals as you ever could want with appropriate planning. And it doesn't hurt that the wood and components are cheap. Amazon is prob the best way to go for hardware and lightweight but solid wood is usually best to get from the scrap section of a local lumber supply, especially in bulk.
Let me just tell you, that before I started building my own pedal boards, I would’ve thought this looked easy enough. Well folks, unless you have yourself a shop grade tablesaw and hand built/designed sleds, clamps, flush cut saws, wood feed tools and a big workspace, you’re going to have a hell of a time getting your pedalboard to look anything like this.
Try behringer. If you want great pedals for a low price, that's it brand. Only downside is they're made oh super hard plastic to cut down on price but it's tough so no problem there rly. I bought their wah and it was a bad batch but I got it exchanged and it worked wonderfully. Honestly they are almost as good as boss
Wow, great built and cool video. For a gigging musician, some alarm bells do go off in terms of practicality: 1) How much does this thing weigh by itself? 2) Routing the audio signal through the bottom turns it into kind of a black box on stage. When something fails or gets stepped on (and something WILL get stepped on eventually), finding the bug may be a bit awkward in the heat of the moment. Just a few thoughts. Still an inspiring project!
if something goes wrong then you just pop the top open. Also all the audio cables besides the input and output jacks stay above the board and all the power if routed below.
YOU DON'T NEED ALL THOSE TOOLS, YES IT MAKES IT FASTER AND EASIER BUT YOU CAN DO THIS WITH SIMPLE HAND TOOLS AND A POWER DRILL/DRIVER IF YOU HAVE THE PATIENCE. YOU ARE LIMITED TO YOUR IMAGINATION.
A.S.V ^ he's right. You can do it with just hand tools. The hardest part is going to be planning the surface to get a true flat and straight board. You can still do it with a hand planer and can even make it just as good without power tools.
Hello, how are you? Could you pass the measurements in centimeters or millimeters? In my country we don't use inches, so it becomes difficult to convert to centimeters or millimeters. Thank you.
Pablo Saldana I didn't want to go thicker than a 1/4" for the bottom panel to keep the weight down. I figured the MDF was more likely to stay flat and not bow in or out.
It isn't very hard but working with line voltage is dangerous if you don't know what you are doing. If you know how to matchup hot, line, and ground wires then you'll be fine.
Actually not entirely, I'm a highschooler who's built several pedalboards now and although they dont have box joints or dovetails or anything too fancy they work.
@@javiervera6318 if you build things from wood or metal that is level 1 stuff. It's not like he didn't use any screws at all. Dove tails and wood joints ok you would have something there but that build is about as easy as you can do with that design.
Wow! There are a lot of things about this video that make it great. Clear speech, good photography, materials list with sources and prices, and you clearly mention the “I forgot’s, etc. All around a great video, and I watch a lot of them on Saturday mornings, sipping my french pressed coffee. Delightful, Thank you, I have walnut in my attic and I might just build one of these.
If you think you need "thousands of dollars" to pick up a table saw off craigslist, some chisels, a saw, and some sandpaper from home depot, it's probably best that you dont go near anything sharp anyway.
hundreds of dollars yes, but not thousands. I built a pedal board with cheap pine from pallets that I clean on my Dewalt jobsite table saw using a hand plane, small hand drill and less than 50$ of materials from home depot or my local owned hardware store. Point is if you know what you're doing with cheap second hand tools you can put your own quality into what you 're making. This guy in the video is clearly using a second hand wood bench.
Dude! Everything about the design and build are just terrific. Very smart, very thoughtful. And, it came out beautifully! Really well done. If I had your skills, I’d make one for myself.
Not to mention the arsenal of power tools and 007 carpentry knowledge. But other than that, great work young man job well exceeding its natural standards in this department. You can dove it...
metric? i don't know just a little suggestion... cuz the world doesn't anderstand old european medieval measure system... oh it's recent... just like for the last 300 years...
this is awesome! i dont need another pedal board if i ever make another, im definitely referring to this. something very satisfying about watching you make this one. Also, I appreciate you admitting the wiring mistake-- not a lot of people do that. you have integrity. I subb'd just for that :)
I could never have the patience to build something like this but man I love watching videos of the process. So entertaining to watch it all come together. What a beautiful board.
I'll bet that pedal board is heavy. If your a do it your self kind of guy it can be fun but its much easier just to buy a pedaltrain for only a couple bucks more or the same as what this cost to build and the pedaltrain will be light weight.
This is almost exactly like the one I'm making for our guitar player; walnut from Rockler, dovetails, and everything. Yours looked like it went much smoother than mine is going! I decided to cut a rabbet on the inside edge of the frame to support the top board that the pedals will sit on, but I think I should've just added inside supports like you did. Would've been much simpler and easier. I wish I had seen this video earlier. Great job!
Bro im from Colombia, i speak Spanish, but i didnt understed you at the minut 3:43 , what tipe of loop did you use there? could you send me the product website to buy it, please
Hey i saw this video its great man loved it even i am trying make one but dont have the all the tools . How much would you charge for this kind of pedal board ??
That's a beautiful board and makes me wish I had the tools to do it. A lot of work for someone without the table saws and router, but still a very informative video.
Nice! You went a bit "overboard" with the dovetail joints but the hinge idea is neat - although I hardly see how one can have proper access once all cable are routed through the negative rails style holes... as a pro tech I would not recommend a 20 bucks PSU and I don't know why you didn't just wired up a standard outlet for your power supply with a fuse but I get you're trying to keep it as budget-friendly as possible. Also I would always recommend using an actual Speakon connector for power, it is much more durable and most importantly, if you ever kick your pedalboard or whatever it will never disconnect by accident (everything can happen on a stage... I mean... e-ve-ry-thing can happen). Overall I'm still wondering why you didn't shown the routing of your audio jacks and why 6 audio jacks?? Normally you would have a DI at the end of the chain or else an interface but I never seen that many jacks on a board. Are those 3 inputs on one side and 3 outputs on the other?? I got that you're a woodworker but you should have put a little more focus on the audio routing here IMHO. Great work overall.
I have a pedalboard video where I talk about all the jacks. Short answer is 3 inputs are electric guitar, acoustic, and mandolin. Acoustic and mandolin share the delays and go XLR out from my di pedal. Then 3 outputs are electric guitar and then stereo out from an iPhone for backing tracks and or loops, MIDI tracks from my midi guitar if I am using it. I also would rather just have extra jacks that I don't use then decide I want to use electric in stereo from a delay pedal or something and not have the jack to do it.
Well done!! I'm in the processes of planning mine. I'm looking at more of a PedalTrain style board with fixed top slats but want much tighter spacing and am also trying to design for reasonably low weight. The walnut looks great I'm torn between that and Padauk for my board. The dovetails look classy as always but I suck at them so am planning on a box joints that I may pin with a small dowel for fun. I'm toying with adding an illuminated rocker switch on the main power connection for one less thing to repeatedly plug in. Your recessed ports are a very nice touch.
Hey. Great video. How many jack sockets did you put on it? And what are you suing them for? I was going to make something similar with 3 sockets, 1x input and. A send+return...
3x each side. it was input electric, acoustic, and mandolin. Then output electric and a stereo out for extra tracks and effects. Now it is electric input and a send-return for my acoustic board on the right side, and still the electric out and a stereo out for extra sounds. ua-cam.com/video/3lBtKp38Ces/v-deo.html
Luke, great build and video, however you didn't go into much detail for the remaining holes you drilled into the sides. Is there another video explaining that?
Beautiful job, and beautiful setup and video. It's good that you mention the cost of the materials. We can see it costs almost as much as buying one... And to establish the total cost you should take into account the machinery necessary to achieve this, particularly the heavy stuff... It's what bothers me most about these "DIY" - custom pedalboards (or else) videos : they usually do not mention that machines and hardware are a significant investment and not something everyone has lying around or even can get access to... (not even talking about the required workshop space). A truly DIY knowledge or achievement is supposed to be something that can be reproduced, learned, aquired by most people. Something that's thought in a way that reduces to a minimum the means necessary to get to it. And although your creations are really beautiful and refined (not denying the quality of what you do), i don't think it's really DIY in the sense that most people won't be able to achieve it or even try. It's rather like an "I Did it Myself" pedalboard. It would be interesting to do a lowtech build and show how it could be achieved with minimal equipment and recycled materials. It may not look that classy but it'd truly be in "DIY" spirit. :)
Those commenting on needing to be a master carpenter to build this, I built a very similar pedal board (before seeing this video) minus the fancy walnut & without all the fancy tools, though I didn't do a dovetail joint because mine is constructed a bit different with a sort of 1x2 inner frame i built then i glued & brad nailed some poplar pieces to exterior but mine was practically free since it was mostly scrap wood I had left over except for the visible outer shell which was thin poplar but dimensions & functionality is nearly identical to this one & I am by no means a carpenter or anything like it but I do enjoy building things with my hands & have gotten quite handy with it over the years
Hey Merwin, great job on this board. Really enjoyed the video! Do you have a link for those spring loaded cabinet hinges?

Same here 😂
Idk man, not for those prices I won't lol
I bought a bottom part aluminium base and will build a top
Yup fuck all this lol the tools alone will set me back an entire pedalboard with cables and pedals lmao

I am planning my own build and until this video had not considered anything other than ply. That walnut looks really great.

This is awesome! I wish I had handy hands to do something like this.. Looks great!
I wish i had enough pedals to make a pedal board
Tom Hodgkinson just build a normal size and look forward to getting more
Buy some of the new TC Electronics budget line pedals: they're awesome and cost +- 35€. There are other excellent budget pedals on the market..

You only need 2 pedal for guitar music. 1 accelerator + 1 break = very good music zoom r16 fl studio
That is absolutely gorgeous. Your dove tails look good.
Duuuuuuuuuuude. This is so cool.

Using the Walnut and MDF, I'm curious how heavy it ended up being-Without pedals. Nice work!
Awesome job
Great job, looks really nice!
Beautiful job! Awesome!
Very cool, thanks!
Walnut was a nice touch.
Great video! Question: What is the purpose of a power strip if you are installing a power brick? Couldn't you just do without one of them?
You could if you had a big enough power supply. At the time mine was small and didn't have an 18v out so I used a separate wall wart.
good job ! congratulations .
I would love to build one of these, but I don't have the tools nor the right hands to make one.
YOU DON'T NEED ALL THOSE TOOLS, YES IT MAKES IT FASTER AND EASIER BUT YOU CAN DO THIS WITH SIMPLE HAND TOOLS AND A POWER DRILL/DRIVER IF YOU HAVE THE PATIENCE. YOU ARE LIMITED TO YOUR IMAGINATION.

Hello, how are you? Could you pass the measurements in centimeters or millimeters? In my country we don't use inches, so it becomes difficult to convert to centimeters or millimeters. Thank you.
Impressive indeed. Why the MDF? You should have used hardwood throughout to maintain the high quality build.
Pablo Saldana I didn't want to go thicker than a 1/4" for the bottom panel to keep the weight down. I figured the MDF was more likely to stay flat and not bow in or out.
Love this! Do you have a materials list anywhere?
How heavy is it? I imagine it packs quite a punch on your shoulders. Very nice work, btw!
What power adapters you using? I’m trying to find some that don’t have the most awkward angle for pedals.
Just the ones that came with my power supply. T rex fuel tank junior.
Curious water Audio input jacks you picked up? How did you wire that piece up?
Audio input jacks are the same as on Telecasters.
Very nice
Nice job
I don't think I've ever seen a sheet of MDF or ply that cheap before. Usually around $20+ depending on thickness.
Mitch Cavanaugh for a full 4x8' sheet yeah. But most places sell a 1/4 sheet (2x4') for less which is enough for this project.
I’m planning on making a pedal board but how easy is it to do the wiring for the power strip like you did?
It isn't very hard but working with line voltage is dangerous if you don't know what you are doing. If you know how to matchup hot, line, and ground wires then you'll be fine.
Is there any overheating problems with it being shut off from any air to cool it down
I haven't had any problems with that. I have left it on overnight too.
Sorry but i didnt understand what are those three plugs? Jacks?
They are input and output jacks. Full detail about the board:

Cool

How to build your own pedalboard:
Step 1: become a master carpenter
So pretty much you have to be a general contractor to be able to build this Lol

But first, Let me just spend thousands of dollars on the machinery though
If you think you need "thousands of dollars" to pick up a table saw off craigslist, some chisels, a saw, and some sandpaper from home depot, it's probably best that you dont go near anything sharp anyway.

@@WillyQ60 my point is that if you think those tools cost thousands of dollars, you are obviously far too stupid to be using them

That's a beautiful board and makes me wish I had the tools to do it. A lot of work for someone without the table saws and router, but still a very informative video.
since you have a power strip underneath, what would the point be of having a power supply??
looks great, but if you don't have the power tools it would cost a hell of a lot more than just the cost of the materials that you showed
in what dimensions are these numbers? inches or a foot?
If you can afford all those tools, I think you can afford to just buy a pedal board.

Awesome, curious if you get humm from the Pedals with the Powerboard inside the actual Pedalboard I went totally DC with JOYO 5 power supply.
Sometimes with the distortion on but not always. Makes me think it has more to do with dirty power than the board.
Hey. Great video. How many jack sockets did you put on it? And what are you suing them for?
I was going to make something similar with 3 sockets, 1x input and. A send+return...
3x each side. it was input electric, acoustic, and mandolin. Then output electric and a stereo out for extra tracks and effects.

I explain it in this video.
Is there a link to build a woodshop first?
Takeaway: find a decent size rectangle piece of wood and cover it in velco lol. Great video! Beyond my skill set 😂
It's funny because I have couple of those that I use for different pedals...
This is brilliant! Thank you for sharing!!
how do you connect it to the amplifier, because I see holes to cables (3 holes on the side next to the power supply) but I don't see sockets.
The three holes are just telecaster style 1/4" jacks
Yeahhhh I’m just goona get one from Amazon 😂
I am pretty impressed with the workmanship in this , the wood looks way more organic then steel i love it
Beautiful job, and beautiful setup and video.
It's good that you mention the cost of the materials. We can see it costs almost as much as buying one... And to establish the total cost you should take into account the machinery necessary to achieve this, particularly the heavy stuff...

Those commenting on needing to be a master carpenter to build this, I built a very similar pedal board (before seeing this video) minus the fancy walnut & without all the fancy tools, though I didn't do a dovetail joint because mine is constructed a bit different with a sort of 1x2 inner frame i built then i glued & brad nailed some poplar pieces to exterior but mine was practically free since it was mostly scrap wood I had left over except for the visible outer shell which was thin poplar but dimensions & functionality is nearly identical to this one & I am by no means a carpenter or anything like it but I do enjoy building things with my hands & have gotten quite handy with it over the years
Looks great although you could buy one for the price you paid out for materials
But where is the fun in that?...
Now lets build the guitar part...
