New pedalboard build: It’s finished… again! V2

[la szum]

It’s interesting how much I’m learning from this experience. Board size is so hard to know ahead of time! I did tons of planning, but there are always some things that don’t work exactly how you thought they would.

I do wish I would’ve gone for a board with a top that opens and has space inside. I think the 24x16 like that would have given me just enough extra space for a couple things that would be nice to have. I might eventually migrate to one of those.

At some point I’m also going to move from the Switchboard to Morningstar MC6 and another ML5. I regret that choice, but it’s sufficient for now.

Not sure if either of those changes will happen next year or not, we’ll see!

Boards are an eternal compromise.

Never the perfect size. Never the perfect layout. Never the intended, hoped for ideal.

That's why we need endless revisions. Final is never final.

True, but I really love the process!

And even if it’s not perfection, this is still my favorite guitar rig I’ve had in years!

Yeah - me too!

I find it easier to fill a rack full of sliding draws with pedals than building boards.
I’ve recently emptied this to redo .

How do you step on the foot switches when they are in drawers?

You don’t step on them.
You pull a draw out and use your hand on the pedal you want.
It’s used in the studio.
