So I tried to make my first pedal board for my guitar effect pedals that I had to bring them with me to New York and Chicago for some performances.
It took me almost three days of non-stop making... NON-STOP
I think it looks okay... but I finally didn't bring it with me... Because it's too HEAVY.
It was fun to build one though.
I end up bought the Pedaltrain/1 HC made by Pro Stage Gear/ Pedaltrain.
Check out their website : http://www.pedaltrain.com
And this is the one that I bought : http://prostagegear.com/products/pedalboards/pt1/
For me, it's the best pedalboard. And I'm glad that I bought this. (though it's not as budget as building your own pedalboard from woods, there are some advantages of buying one)
Here's the demonstration by gearmanndude on youtube showing how to attach pedals and power supply.

Here's a comparison between building one and buying one.Building one from woods
- Pros: Much cheaper
- Cons: Heavy to carry around, takes lots of time to build, requires some skills
Buying one (e.g. Pedaltrain/1 HC)
- Pros: Takes less time, much lighter to carry, more durable, looks cleaner
- Cons: More expensive
It's really worth the money for buying the Pedaltrain pedalboard.
It's very neat as you can hide all the cords and the power supply under it.
Highly recommended.
As you may see in the picture above that I have already attached my pedals on the Pedaltrain pedalboard with velcro. I will show my pedals one by one later.
Hope you guys enjoy and have fun. --- GXC
