Thank you 🙏. I can relate to having to dig out all the pedals and cables and run everything, then play for a hour and pack it all up before my better half starts crying about the mess I’ve made. Choices are , leave it out and fight with the princess or make a pedal board that I can pull out and plug in…..🧐🤔 Much more sanity at home to get some Velcro and a scrap of wood….
Hi mate, yes paddle boards are the answer to a happy home my friend. Thanks for watching the video, much appreciated. Please subscribe for two new videos every single week. All the best, Simon
I've been building my pedal boards lately out of left over wood, they've really turned out nice & keep getting better with every one i build & I've built a few different sizes for the few different situations to fit my needs. I put a little finish on the sides & just stick velcro to the entire top & cut little slits in the velcro for patch cables & power supply leads & it really cleans up & looks nice
I always build my own for the same reason; I'd rather spend the other money on pedals. I find old wood a lying around, cut it, drill it, nail it, and paint it. If I wind up needing more space that I rearranging pedals won't fix, I can always build bigger one cheap enough.
Lot of questions about the velcro, it seems, so here's one more: Are you just putting a tab of velcro on each pedal and that tab then hangs on to the carpet on the board? Also, is there a reason you picked marine carpet rather than a piece of home carpet? Great project btw. Thanks for posting it!
Hi John, thanks for your comment and watching the video! I use the 'spiky' side of the velcro on the back of each pedal and then they attach beautifully to the marine carpet. On the marine carpet there something about it that LOVES velcro, so the 2 adhere really well to each other. I honestly can't remember how I found out about it, I guess someone must have told me about it? I've been doing it for years. I'm not sure how regular carpet would go. Have fun putting it together. Cheers Simon
That Orange Burst is legit! I built my pedalboard out of scrap wood I had in the shop. I designed it to fit my needs and painted it black. Totally happy with it! Is that a second Orange Burst on the shelf?
Hey Brian, I'm glad that you liked the video. Yes, that's a second orange burst on the shelf. For a while I used to use 2 on the board. Great to hear your board is going well too.

Hi Will, yes just velcro. There are different types though. Get a nice wide one (www.swamp.net.au/hook-and-loop-tape-for-effects-pedal-boards-38mm-1.5-inch-per-metre?gad_source=1) and yes on the 2x4 for the lift. I just stapled and gaffed it all together. 5 years now and still going strong. Cheers, Simon
Hey Scott, thanks for watching the video. It's a great thing - so easy to put together and so functional. All the best, Cheers Simon ps sub for 2 new videos every week
Hi again, I reckon it was this one - www.wish.com/search/guitar%20pedal%20board/product/5fffe4ee3e4dccaa212d9df9 - it fits four regular pedals and is about 40cm long. Thanks for watching, cheers, Simon
Thanks heaps, I’ve tried a few pedals but always had trouble with a heap of noise,, and mainly had boss ones, so not cheap? Junk, is there a secret, ie patch lead quality etc , luv your vids thanks 😊
Hey there, Noise can be a problem for sure. The first thing to think about it isolated power. Like the Fuel Tank junior or the Vitoos ISO 8. That should definitely help. Thanks for watching! All the best Simon

Nice video. What would have been really nice would be to make mention of the power supply. Some power supplies have enough amperage to handle several pedals so I bought a gang cable that split one power supply into several plugs. Horrible HUMMMMMMMM once turned on. Unusable. Seems you have some type of isolated power supply mounted on the bottom of your board. Since you're so thrifty, your recommends on that would be a nice addition. Thanks!
Hi Bob, thanks very much for watching. That sounds like a video in itself! Isolated power is the best solution. The power supply on the small board is a T-Rex fuel tank. That's good for analogue pedals but not great for digital pedals. On my main board I use a vitoos iso8 power supply. That thing can power anything. Do subscribe for more videos and hit the bell for notifications. All the best Simon
@@SimonMorelguitar Thanks for the info. Wouldn't have known the isolated power supply would make a difference with digital vs analog pedals. A video on that would be incredible!! I gave you a thumbs up and subscribed. Thanks!!
@@bobjohnson5218 thanks Bob. It's all about how much power they draw. For example all the boss analogue pedals would be fine with the Trex, but digital pedals for example a Syncopy delay (Current draw: 250mA) won't work.
@@SimonMorelguitar Thanks so much for replying to my posts. One more thing if you don't mind. Seems many of these isolated power supplies are over $100 USD. Amazon has several under $50 USD ie. Donner, Joyo & Vangoa. Any comments on those? Thanks again.

Hi Julio, Thanks for wathcing. Yes to the velcro, I think I might have forgotten to mention that bit? I don't know where you are in the world, but I just buy the double sided stuff at a hardware store, you don't need any guitar special expensive stuff this would work fine. (www.bunnings.com.au/hookz-25mm-x-1m-black-hook-loop-tape_p3962501). Enjoy putting the board together! It's a lot of fun. Please sub for regular lessons - all the best, Simon
Ffs just buy a pedalboard. I bought mine (palmer pedal bay 60) for 77€ and it came with a bag and velcros and even with the elastic bands for the power supply. You guys give over 2000$ for pedals and you cant afford a decent pedalboard of 77$?

Hey Jack you could either use a power supply (ruclips.net/video/a_7dGX86v-0/видео.html) or something like a one spot. Thanks for watching, happy building! Cheers Simon ps ps if you'd like to get charts, extra lessons and even more guitar content you can get that at patreon.com/simonmorel
I took your laptop bag idea, awesome! i found an old Dell bag not only does it keep my pedals safe but it also gives me additional storage for cables

Genius! I love the DIY creativity. So functional and useful.

I going to return the pedal board that i bought today and make one. Thanks for this idea.
Good for you Ezra! Thanks for watching. For more helpful tips and lessons subscribe (and hit the bell!) for 2 videos per week. Cheers Simon
What did you use to secure the pedals to the board, just good-ole' velcro?
Also, just a cut of 2 X 4 drilled to the back top to give it the tilt?
Hi Will, yes just velcro. There are different types though.
