It's new cheap pedalboard day.

I wanted something to help organize my home lab but was too cheap to buy another pedaltrain.  I grabbed one of the popular IKEA gorm shelves, took it apart, cut the pieces to size in the woodshop at work, slapped them together.  A bit of picked white stain and some enamel and this is what I wound up with:





too go along with it, I have a guitar on loan/evaluation from my friend.  I wish it was as inexpensive as the pedalboard.   ;D



I love this thing.  I don't think I want to give it back.  Most usable bridge pickup I've ever had on a strat.

I still need to clean up the wiring on the board, but I can deal with that later.

Nice! I really like the resullt, and your really cool collection of diy pedals!
Now I have to make one of these IKEA pedalboards, because all my pedals are scattered on the floor..  ;D

That looks so clean with the white boards and the cabling.

I've got some old fridge racks I'm going to recycle -- lots of slats for zipties, cables, L-bend at the end to stand 'em up a bit, light, variety of sizes... I'm just missing a power pack, patch cables, and money :(

What is the horizontally laid out 1590B ?

I'd say Fuzz Factory!

Thanks for the compliments.

Yeah, everything here is DIY but the wah (which is a Teese modified Vox).

My main pedalboard has some commercial stuff, but I find I am migrating more and more to DIY.  None of the commercial stuff I have here at home made it to the board.

That is the *exact* reason I did this.  I didn't need something road worthy, but I needed something that would de-scatter the pedals in my office.

The IKEA shelf is $7, so it is pretty cheap.  The velcro is actually the most expensive part of the build.

Old fridge racks sound like a cool idea.  Please take some pictures when you are done; I'd like to see it.

Jargo is exactly right, it is a Fuzz Factory. Or as I like to call it, The Wild Oscillating Fuzz Bastard.

And, in case anybody is interested, the guitar is a Callaham.
