Building the perfect pedal board part 1


Building the ideal Guitar Pedal Board is an art in itself. Like playing guitar.

Any guitar pedal boards are an important element in the gear of plenty of effect enjoying guitar players out there.

Let's begin with the reason why you desire that board anyhow ... You start playing guitar and are having a good time at it. One day, you get a tuner pedal just for the ease of constantly being plugged into your tuner and being able to tune on the fly. After that you recognize you wantmore distortion than your little Marshall wannabe-big amp can, so you get the most effective distortion pedal money can buy. You want a little bit of atmosphere for your solos and buy a delay pedal and a reverb pedal. One day you realize you're good enough to play outside of your bedroom. As you are getting ready to pack right stuff into your soon-to-be-touring vehicle, you realize, What I'm gonna do with all these loose pedals?" There you have it! You need a board to put your pedals on. Not only will it make the activity of taking a trip with them a whole lot less complicated and cleaner, yet configuration and take down times at shows are substantially decreased.

Where to Start on Your Pedal Board Setting up Goal

There are 2 concerns you should ask yourself prior to you go about setuping a pedalboard:.

How many pedals do I have?
The amount of pedals do I wanna have?
As soon as you figure that out, you could have a much better idea of how huge a board you'll need.

It's a great idea to prepare a little design of your board's layout to see to it you can suit all the pedals you want easily. It's also good if you leave a little area for error simply in case you screw up a measurement or you wish to add a pedal or two later. A pencil design on a notepad is merely fine.

On the next post I'll go over should you hire someone to do it or should you do it by yourself.
