DIY Pedalboard: I got cool idea and considering the budget

Re: DIY Pedalboard: I got cool idea and considering the budget

After some home-alone jamming last night, I once again pulled it back to two pedals, *maybe* three. Don't listen to anything I say about boards.

Well here you go then!!!
This thing is perfect for a few units and still has the "feel" of having them flat on the floor just like I prefer.
Obviously need all angled-plugs to make the most of the small area, and a power-all or 1spot kit.

It will say since it's on sale for $19 that coupons won't apply,,,,,,,,,,,,,just call it in with at least another item and the total order discount will go through.
So $17 and change takes it home today,,,,,,,,provided you can wait a couple months until it's back in-stock lol.

That is nice. Probably cheaper than building one.

Scrolling through the pics it even shows a small roll of included velcro for sticking the pedals. That's worth a few$ right there.

Cancel all that.

Just got a MF email that my Peavey Rage 258 is not due for ANOTHER two months! lol
I said forget both that and this backorder road-rimmer pedalwannabe.
Will take a few days but I get $103 back. Paypal already shows it but the bank takes longer they said.

After discount this gator is $105, so it would be an even trade to the money I had already spent.
Anyone use these or have opinions on the durability?

Please excuse if my previous post was rude. No excuse, but I was a little drunk last night. What I should've said is:

I think the trend of boutique pedalboards is silly. This is likely because I've never been much of a pedal guy. I'm not against boards, per se, but they're getting as silly as the refrigerator sized racks from the 80's.

Mark Lettieri from Snarky Puppy uses a cutting board from Target. I think that's pretty cool.

I use a tuner pedal and an overdrive. I'm screwing them down to either a piece of thin plywood or a license plate just to keep them from getting damaged in transit and to eliminate all setup/teardown hassle. Even with two pedals.

But I'm with you on the spaceship command centers. Generally, if I see a giant board full of pedals in front of a guitar player they are either going to sound terrible or they are going to play music I don't like. (That last bit was just to give everyone something to do: posting "But what about______? He uses 372 pedals and he sounds great!" over and over until I apologize for my taste in music.)

I don't see how guys step over pedals to hit other pedals,,,,but then some pros have their techs doing some of the switching.

I really wanted to order that. Awesome deal.

With shipping it would have been 60€ to here (80$)... I figure out something cheaper...
