How to make a modern guitar pedalboard

- In this video we make a pedalboard for our good friend Lucky Diaz of Lucky Diaz and the Family Jam Band fame. Lucky needed a compact pedalboard to take on the road. We came up with a design that is sturdy, compact and we think, beautiful. Here's how we did it.

Nice, but not everyone owns a pencil
JAJAJAJA
Dude, you owe me a monitor (and the half of mug of beer I spit out all over it laughing)!
Aguante mis pinches Tigres
HAHAHAHA
Ridiculously funny mate! And so true ..
Really appreciate you taking the time to put this video together and provide the plans. Always refreshing finding someone willing to share the behind the scenes and how to. Much love Amigos.
Thank you for the nice comment James!
Love the board! Looks so much better than store bought imo! Thanks for sharing!
I must throw out the wifes dining table and replace with a bench saw.
You sir are truly a man who knows his priorities.
Even better - use the wood to make a pedal board.
to big for one level / line of pedals, to small for two. you mounted the pedals with tape on the nice board? When you wanna replace it a year later, you will see the marks.
also the solution with the power cable is not my favorite (socket would be better in my opinion).
The plugs on the rear side have a to different color compared to the board.
It is a really really nice hand work ... really, but not perfect premeditated. sorry, Iam to german :(
Martin Bohl, let's see the one you made.
Too German - Thats why you replied to a joke rather than putting this a s comment in it's own right.
oh man! listen to that fender! nothing like the snap and sound of a strat!!! great looking board, too!
Thank you for doing a pedalboard build and actually showing it with the electronics and pedals. Looks great!
Thanks so much for the PDF plans, really appreciate it. So much heart and hard work here, thanks
Thank you so much for sharing both the build and the plans. You’ve got yourself a subscriber!
I like the way you guys use the table saw for all those cuts. Cool video.
you guys put alot of love and effort into this pedal board!
Thanks David...
Excellent job man, the woodwork was interesting to watch and the end product is really pretty
Absolutely beautiful...want it!
Thanxs for sharing the plans and the idea. I made two of them with recycled wood. One in the original size for our base player and a bigger one to fit my pedals on. They turned out really nice.
Great build and i cant believe I've never heard of the photocopy thing!! Going to try it right now
Very good,
Simples e maravilhoso
Good looking pedalboard!
This surprisingly pleasing to watch.
fine piece of art.
Looks great. I like the two tone wood and dig the urethane only natural look. Only critique I would have is explaining what you used to hold the pedals down with and your choice of power supply you hid under there. Thanks for the inspiration.
that looks really good nice work
It looks sure looks super nice! I think it should have some sort of top to make transportation easier. Pick this thing up from it's handle and the pedals will slide right off. You could also use a foam-padded carrying case.
professionally made. clean.
Looks great, looks vintage and luxurious, and is not difficult to do
Very nice beautiful, simple design and wood working. I might copy parts of that design. However that would not last for me, the pedals would get damaged. I really need a hard travel cover too over the top of the pedals.
Nice build! Love the outcome!
Thank you!
This was a fantastic video. Loved the pedal board, loved the background music and the voice over. Really great work. Thanks!!
Thanks for the nice comment Mark!
You're more than welcome. I built one over the weekend of July 4th. Really a fun project, and thanks to your instruction, it came out great! I live in the sticks, so mahogany wasn't an option...had to substitute red oak, but it came out real nice just the same. Thanks again!
Awesome!
Love this
6:36 Cool, I have the same Danelectro tremolo pedal :-)
Nice build, it looks great!
I'm new in your channel and boy I'm loving it. Great work
Thanks!
great job!!!
This is sooooo satisfying to watch
Thanks!
Brilliant.
pretty cool!!!!
Love it beautiful!!!
Thanks!
Good job!
very nice
I plan on designing a pedalboard unit utilizing an old school wooden Coca~Cola case crate with an added latch cover. The latch cover won't only protect the units contained within the unit, it will also provide me with the opportunity to find a balance point for the entire unit so I can find where I need to place a carrying handle. In essence, it will kinda end up looking like a briefcase, but it will be showing the Coca~Cola logo.
Efficient and Beautiful
Great Job 👍
Thanks!
genial !! french fan
Not the easiest DIY project... but, I'll buy one of those! Beautiful pedalboard!
That's a masterpiece! Amazing!
Thank you for your very nice comment Luiz!
No, thank you for inspiring me! Now excuse cause I have carpentry classes to attend lol
Awesome!!!
That was inspiring
Really nice job!
Thank you Fede!
Re. Photocopy stencils.
If you print onto glossy paper the toner will come away easier.
Works so well you can print PCBs,
Magazine paper is fine, doesn't matter what's printed on it, it's the gloss you're after.
Great video! Definitely worth investing in a dado blade though
GREAT
MUITO BOM
Nice work looks good
Thanks!
I made a pedal board with a bit of MDF, black spray paint, stick on rubber feet and adhesive backed Velcro. It cost me about £12 and I didn't need a workshop full of bench tools. It fits into a Tesco bag just right.
Very nice . Should make a nice family heirloom
Nice job! Can you share them drawings for this project (or at dimensions and spacings between the rods, height of the back and front sides)?
really nice pedalboard!!
Thanks!
Nice!
Thanks!
Would you happen to know what amp being used in the guitar playing demo at the end. Also if I were to print these plans out would i be able to just cut and glue the paper to wood and essentially get all the right measurements for this project. Thanks. Awesome work, love the end product and the content! Subbed
I like the handle on it
Hi, I really like the design of the board. Do you have any hints on how a removable lid could be added to it, so that it transforms into a kind of suitcase protecting the pedals for transport ? Cheers.
Nice.
Yeah, i don't have all that stuff but this is still fun to watch.
That's the downside to not having an alpha dad having those tools.
thanks a lot, I've done my pedalboard like your
amazing :)
Making me one of these bad boys!
Good job sir.
Thanks
This is gorgeous, I want to attempt to make this without all the power tools! Hope I can come right
You don't need any power tools to build this.
Great video! Does anybody know what piece Lucky was playing there at the end by any chance?
Perfeito!
Thanks!
My daughter loves lucky Diaz and lishy Lou
I was able to create the board, I like it. I like how his pedals are cleanly wired. I am interested in how this board is wired. I noticed the transformer is wrapped with electrical tape together with each pedal's DC wire. Is this a special wiring job? It looks like there was a modification to the transformer. If so where could I get this done? I like Lucky's board everything about it is clean and streamlined. Appreciate any recommendations you could give me. Thanx!
why don't you use the fence itself to set the width of the cut, instead of the tape? I'm I missing something?
The maple was binding and grabbing the blade because of the slight curve in the tight grain. This was my solution to a safer cut. I could have just shoved it into the blade, but when the wood starts to lift, it's time to rethink the cut.
you should put the fence closer to you, so the fence is used on the first half of the blade (the half that is spinning downwards). This way, the wood won't get grabbed between the rear half of blade and the fence, and flying to you
@@DIYModernTwins it's so cool looking because everything on the market is metal.
Can you build and sell these?
Niiiice! Lovely! :-*
Thanks!
I got the idea of the video! It seems simple! Watch the video, get inspired and instead of buying the equipment of woodwork - learning how to do it, wasting material with "try and error", frustration, money expenditure and so on -, buy one from DIY Modern.
Very nice! You need make room only for Boss NS-2 or build a longer one next time. ;)
mantap
Very nicely done- the only bit I didn't get is it looked like the handle attachments were on crooked. Weird to see considering how nice the rest of the board looked- although I really like the idea of an amp handle- might put that on my board!
Thanks, yeah, was bummed about that. Somehow one on the holes got out of alignment. I think it's ok, but wish it was straight too.
@@DIYModernTwins Fix it...?
Hey, fantastic illustration. I really enjoyed the music mixed in with the video. What is background music called? who does it?
Thanks Greg! We do the music here.
I made my own pedal board by cutting a section of wooden skid/pallet with a hack saw, then I cut two pieces to raise the front from the scrap wood, pounded out four nails from the section of scrap I wasnt using to nail the blocks to raise the front. The I applied black tape all around it and tie strapped a power bar to it. I did this at work with only the tools and material available to me. Hence why I had to reuse the nails.
Dawn, i love it!, Could you tell me the measurements or if you have plans for your pedalboard? I want to build one, I'm from Venezuela and I can not buy one from the factory
Thank you for your comment. The free plans are back up on the DIY-Modern site. Sorry for the delay.
I guess you could say, Lucky got "lucky" with the pedal board
I'm gonna make one just like yours but bigger (1ft x 2ft)! Wish me good luck it's one of my first build
cool... good luck!
how it went?
What kind of drill you use to make the screw holes? I noticed the screw went inside tje wood to be hidden.
👍
Awesome!
Thanks!
What is the power supply you guys used under the pedals?
What secures the pedals to the board? Unless I missed something, I don't see what keeps the pedals from shifting when the board is carried by the handle. The tension from the patch cables doesn't seem sufficient.
Hi Kirk, There is velcro on the bottoms of the pedals and board.
Looks nice, but there is no cover to protect the pedals during transit. Do you just throw it in a duffle bag and let it get thrashed?
Familiar sounding music - Jean Michel Jarre (Oxygene)?
Make me one!
I looked on the website but didn't see a link to the plans. Is there a new link for these?
Thanks for the video and plans. I'm not complaining, but some of the dimensions on the plans aren't correct as drawn. For example, the height of the rear piece is shown to be 3". The actual measure of the print is 2 7/8". I would advise re-drawing the plan using the given dimensions if you want to build this. I built one this week and it turned out nice. I made mine 24" long to accommodate a looper pedal and A/B switch. I'm subscribed to your channel and look forward to more woodworking stuff of a musical nature. thx.
Hey there, nice project! I'm wondering what kind of saw that is? Looks like a tiny table saw... Thanks for your time
It's a deWalt 7480 contractors saw.
素晴らしくきれいなのですが、重さはどのぐらい？
May I have the design draft about this? Thank you.
How do the pedals attach to the board?
Do you have plans or sell them ... I'd like to build one with my Father inlaw...
Get right on that
Great if you own a table saw, band saw, router table and router with all the bits. Still very nice.
Quiero comprar eso! Por favor conteste si está a la venta
nice work! What are the dimensions of this thing? or do you have plans you could post?
The plan is now on our website: www.diy-modern.com in the plans section.
Could you have used a dado stack to cut the slots?
Please make one for me😍
Could also use a dado blade instead of making all those passes for the notched sections.
Hello, very interesting and instructive video. I want to become a pedalboard and I liked the design you did. I could say, what are the measures of the pedalboard? That these measures will vary depending on the number of pedals and other things, but my pedals are few (four) and the pedalboard is what I need. Look drawings on your page and not find them. Thanks, greetings from Cucuta-Colombia.
P.S. Excuse my bad english.
Hola, muy interesante e instructivo el video. Quiero hacerme una pedalboard y me gusto el diseño de que ustedes hicieron. Me podria decir, cuales son las medidas de la pedalboard? Se que estas medidas varian dependiendo de la cantidad de pedales y otras cosas, pero mis pedales son pocos ( cuatro ) y esta pedalboard es lo que necesito. Busque los planos en su pagina y no los encontre. Gracias, un saludo desde Cúcuta-Colombia.
P.D. Disculpen mi mal ingles.
Greetings from Alabama USA! Your English is much better than my Spanish:)
Hola Juan! I'm not sure what the exact measurements were, I don't have the pedalboard and I can't find my notes :-( But I think it was about 3" tall in the back, 1 1/2" tall in the front, about 8" deep, and about 17" wide. The best thing to do it lay out your pedals with at least 1" in between and add at least 1" to either end.
I don't recommend becoming a pedalboard. People stomp on you all night, they sometimes spill beer on you, and the pay is lousy.
LOL!
I would like to become a guitar myself 😂😂
