pedal boards,

Thornography · 2009-10-08 11:37:37

Hey, Can anyone suggest a decent pedal board for a heap of boss pedals with a power supply for them? trying to Google places in Ireland that sell them and cant find anything :( Should I make my own instead? Im pretty handy with carpentry and making stuff since I was a wee lad, but wouldn't know what PSU to get.

Sound....Have you got a boss TU-2? If so you could power the pedals from that via daisy chain lead...I think it would do about 6-8 pedals maybe more??

I use one of these - you need to get your own power supply but its a solid case for very little money and will take 8-10 boss pedals easy.

theres a few out there with efects loops too fro easy cabeling

in my experience, just a nice simple case and board with a seperate power supply is easier more felxable and cheaper

Screw it, gonna make my own!

These are SOOO expensive for what they are, and they aren't exactly accessible with bit lips on the outer edge stopping your entire foot reaching the pedal.

Will put up pictures
