new pedalboard in the making. Oiled up, getting there

[Sigesmundninja]

I habe been working on the pedalboard some more now... still a long way to go but here's a picture update.

box for wiring:


mounted:


loads of sanding  to get the square hole in plaze... the wood was so much harder to work with than i had imagined.


the inside:


left side of the frame... ouput and FX-loop jacks.


right side


placed the actual board on top, fits snuggly. Velcro all over and to USB-jacks at the top for lamps. Still waiting for the second one.


my babies!


love them all so much



I still need to sand everything before I oil it up.

Nicely done! Love the jacks on the side. Good stuff!

This is friggin' amazing! Turned out even more awesome than I had imagined it. Very well done. Kudos to you, good sir!

One probably dumb question though: why do you put the AC input into the plastic? just for isolation? and how do you plug you power supply in from there? I assume it has a plug just like that -> you would need another cable... why not just put the power in through the back? Or is it just for the USB lamps? Great idea, btw.

Nice job fitting the IEC socket. Those square holes are a pain. I love the USB powered lamp idea. Looking great man. Can't wait to see a finish on that.

Wow - kick ass!! Are those 5v USB ports for the lights? That is genius. And you can charge your phone during a gig. which I've actually had to do for set break music.

That is one of the nicest boards I've seen.  Just beautiful

Damn that's hot. Gonna be a stunner when it's all finished up.

Thank you everybody!

The AC-input is covered in plastic beacause i'm going to connect a strip of 10 ac-powersupplys to it (cut the wire) and I dont want it exposed. Here's the powerstrip I'm using.

Yepp, they are 5V USB jacks. Got the second lamp in the mail this morning so now its finally symetrical!
