As a guitarist, one of our main points of pride is our gear, particularly our pedalboards. I have had various iterations over the year, everything from a PODXT to a scattering of pedals on a super simple, home made board. Well, after a large pedal-building binge and the purchase of a Boss MS-3 (which is pretty killer, by the way!), I decided I needed a board made just for me. I have nothing against commercial boards, I just find them a little uninspiring, not to mention I have a full blown shop for making things, so why wouldn't I? I drew everything up to scale in Inkscape (highly recommended free drawing program) and went to work. After a few weeks, I ended up with what you see below. It has a main deck and an upper deck, with both decks hinged for access to what is below. It's made from solid hard maple and some mystery exotic I had kicking around in the shop for a couple years. It's not perfect, but it has a huge pedal density and it serves its purpose very well.
What's on it, you ask? Well, I'll tell you.
