    I have an insane idea. You raise your monitor and you create a Lazy Susan. This way, instead of switch and storing all the gadgets, you rotate them under the monitor. The tools you need in front can be rotated into place. Now, how big of one, unsure. This all depends on how many you have and how big or small they are.

      Why don't you put the units on toy train rails & wheels so you can just shunt them back & forth either in a circle as described above or just along the table from left to right?

    This is awesome! As a musician / UA-camr who has the same issue, I love this idea. But maybe you just need a music desk workstation like the Wavebone Headquater desk or something similar?
    That way everything is there.. and no swapping.. sort of.

    A year ago, I discovered your channel because of this video. I came back from time to time and let me tell you something. Bro, your videos are so cathartic to me, even I don't have the money to buy some of your gadgets, I keep dreaming about one day to have them and do exactly what you do with them.
    Let me tell you something else: I think there's nothing wrong in change your setup from time to time. It's the choice to have them, that makes the entire workflow adorable and kinda relaxing (at least to me 😅)
    Thanks for this content, man. New subscriber :)

    I don't think i'd use a pedal board for this but the idea where you combine multiple devices into a "combo" is pretty novel.
    If you create a shelf that holds them all with labels on each cubby for what "combo" board is inside that would be awesome.
    Or add a hook to each pedal board and hang them from a curtain rod or something on your wall.
    Whatever the storage solution, making it grab and go is pretty neat.
    Not to mention some of these boards could work just as well on an ipad in a different location as they do on the computer.

    Everything that deals with pedals is named like it was thrown in a random word generator. Rippley Fall, Dellray LLama, Harmonious Funk, GHOSTFIRE BABY 1. Yeah it's all gibberish. At least the older companies like Ibanez used to name their pedals like it was describing the type of overdrive or distort. Like really, what the hell kind of sound does "BIG MUFF PI" make????

    I literally just did the same thing! That's awesome! I actually included different keyboards to my pedalboard to suit different needs. Gaming vs work vs editing videos.

    Just wanted to drop in and say that I combined this idea with an IKEA hack that used small wall shelves as pedalboards. For about $15 AUD ($10USD) I got a 2ft shelf that suits my needs.
    I don't need to swap gear around constantly, but now I got a stand for my drawing tablet and a tidy place to keep/charge my phone, watch and earbuds. Might attach a desktop USB charger to the underside to keep cabling on the desk even neater.

    I did a similar thing with a spare 10 U rack from my band days. I loaded it with drawers, a sliding shelf and a spare power conditioner and turned it into my A/V rack. Its on casters and at that time was also a place to stand a display on. The sliding shelf had a Bluetooth keyboard, mouse a USB dock and HDMI switch. I ran the wiring the same way I did a guitar rig. The pedal board idea is genius!

  • @ArzePoetic

    Love this idea. I've attempted to do something sort of like this with my portable desk as a whole, but haven't thought to focus on a smaller scale. I also have this similar OCD conundrum, and that Animal Crossing story certainly resonates with me. My theory is just that I always like to have the most optimized setup for the task at hand. Nothing more, nothing less. Whatever it may be, I only want the most relevant devices in front of me; as anything I'm not actively using becomes instant clutter / distraction. This is why I love this Gadget Rack idea that can also help with light cable management.
    My current setup is in my living room, as my bedroom is too small for any practical work / entertainment. So I have my PC and console hooked up to the TV, and I use a manually height adjustable desk on wheels that carries everything I need on it; which I can wheel off to the side of the living room when not in use. I have just 2 meter thunderbolt cable that I'll connect to a docking station on this desk when I need the non-wireless stuff powered and connected. This does require a separate power source, but I had built this into the desk by adding a mountable power strip on the underside, which I can easily slide off and put aside when putting the desk away. I thought I had it all figured out this way, but I find myself rearranging the surface of my desk depending on the task, or needing to take things off of the desk to make room for other stuff on occasion. Everything at once is just too cluttered, though I do use everything at one point or another. This video offers some much needed food for thought! 🍻

    You inspired me. I think the pedal board is a great platform....FOR CHARGING. Hear me out. All sorts of camera, AA battery chargers, tool chargers are just begging to be modular with wire management. I built one of out of wood to help control the wire mess I have on my charge area but it is nowhere near as slim or sturdy as your guitar pedal solution. So I thank you so much to getting me to rethink the setup again.

  • @PicMus
    @PicMus 8 місяців тому

    I feel like if you just mounted your screen, you would have enough space to accommodate 4 racks... Using different height for the back 2, where you would put the ones you use the least, so you can see and reach them easily. At least you could have 3 in line ready to be swappable with the 4th that is in front of you keyboard. Or, maybe, a desk upgrade would make it so you can have them in a squared circle in front of you. The desk would need to have a bit more depth than the one you have now and you would have probably to customize a solution for what is behind those racks, once they are now a bit closer to you and can look like they are in "the middle" of the desk. Nice video and solution for gadgets. Made me rethink my dream setup.

    As a guitar player with a similar way of thinking about pedals and pedalboards, I find it embarrassing how obvious a solution this is to desktop layouts and how I've never thought of it. I used to play with a guy that did this exact thing with his guitar pedal setups....while I have a couple big ones that I manage, he has multiple small ones...."this is the RATM/90s drop D grunge board, this is the metal board," etc. It just makes sense.

    You know, I did something similar myself. The main difference is that I don't swap devices often, but I still wanted them easily removed and in a confortable spot.
    So I basically made an elevated wood platform on my desk, under the screen, and I have my uphoria audio card on top of it and my touch screen just in front of it. When I'm not using it or I need space, I just tuck it underneath the platform. Its also a great space to keep my 14 inch laptop accesible but out of the way.
    I also have a wireless charger for my watch attached just under the platform, so I don't see the charger or cables, but I can just put my watch on top and easily charge it.

    Nice idea in terms of function. But as you half-way pointed out, a $40 hunk of metal is overkill. You could definitely make something similar out of 4 small pieces of wood (2 short and 2 long).
    Including spraying it black (optional), fixings, a roll of Velcro and some rubber feet (which will be more suitable to this application than the plastic ones on the Pedal Board) - I'd be surprised if it was even half the cost. Although it will obviously cost you more in time and effort.

    I need to find a way to implement something similar to my setup but my issue is more I play multiple consoles and every console I play using different accessories.
