  • great job, simple & effective. never thought about adding a light - great idea!

  • @Gibsonmanner No, they probably play 5 notes on an American Deluxe thier dad bought them. I play a Chinese Strat, because that's what I can afford. This dude made this pedal board for $12 instead of buying one. When you don't have money, you make good with what you've got.

  • This is good shit. Right on my level. I've watched a lot of other vids on DIY pedal boards. Look man, I play guitar, I'm not a fuckin electrician or an architect! This is pretty much just how I'd do mine, maybe a little more polished up on the looks, but good ideas! Thanks for the inspiration!

  • Neat..I think I can do this in woodshop class pretty easily, lol

  • I will make one thanks man! LoL

  • dude your scaring me...lol every time you hold that board with the pedals on it sideways ...im like oh please dont let any pedals fall

  • oh and btw, the pedal power 2 + sometimes is needed bc some pedals don't take the same type of power supply jacks. for instance, the line 6 dl4 and mm4 and all those pedals take AC and not DC...along with the digitech whammy takes a different power supply, and the pedal power 2 + gives you the option to power those without needing to hook up a surge protector! just trying to help!

  • personally is the pedaltrain pro. it's not cheap, but it is angled, and it's designed so that you can put all of your cables underneath the board, along with the power supply. it just makes for a very neat board if you have a crap load of pedals...but making your own is always an awesome idea! most affordable way to go!

  • hey man, i think this is a great idea.  i happen to use a voodoolab pedal power 2 +...the only reason i like it better is because the power is isolated instead of daisy chained. i understand the point of this video is to make a diy affordable board. but for anyone out there building their own...and u don't wanna buy a big board, the pedal power 2 + is a VERY good option for power...on a diy board or any other you're using. if you did wanna buy a really great board though that i use

  • very nice job! love it , great ingenuity
