Hi All, check it out! I found this piece of wood just sitting behind some cabinets in my basement. Looks like a shelf to something and was most likely left there by the past owners. When I saw it I immediately knew what I was going to so with it. Pedalboard time!
First I planned out where I could put some holes for cables while allowing a power supply to be mounted below the board, then drilled 6 holes (3 for each side of PS) with a 3/4 inch boring bit.
Next I sanded it all down a bit, just scuffed it up really, and put some primer on it that I had laying around. I then painted it with 2 coats of a dark grey paint that I also had laying around.
Next I ordered a roll of 4 inch wide Velcro. This would allow me to cover the entire top with the loop side since the shelf is exactly 8 inches front to back (about 28 inches wide). I also ordered adjustable feet (that swivel), and installed all four on the bottom. This would allow enough ground clearance to mount the power supply on the bottom.
The power supply is a BBE Supa Charger that I got off of Reverb used. All outputs fully isolated for a great price. I also sawed/chiseled out a section of the lip in the back so the back of the Power Supply would be exposed for the plug, voltage selector switch, and fuse access. I mounted the Supa Charger to the back using 3M dual lock strips.
Now it’s time to add the pedals. Continued (I can only add 4 pictures on this post so will post the others below)…
