My Hillbilly Pedal Board
I was looking online at FX pedal board options, instead of plugging in each of my meager collection of stomp boxes at each gig and came across Holey Boards
http://www.chemistrydesignwerks.com/holeyboards.html
here's theirs, Jon
Fine Arctic Birch plys, ergonomically designed and fitted, with the site stressng the neatness and convenience of nylon tie straps, yadda yadda...
So I sez to meself sez I, "Hey I got a board and a drill and a bagful of zipties... I can do this thing!"
so I did. here's mine, Jon
This was the first iteration; I've swapped different stuff in and out, and dang if them ties don't make it quite easy to do so...
Im thinking a skateboard deck, similarly abused might be a slightly fancier presentation, but mine fits in a computer atache' bag and is ready to go plugging in 4 cables (Guitar out to pre volume pedal fx, then volume pedal in/out to post volume pedal fx, then from last tf pedal to amp; and a power supply=30 seconds.)
The feet are spaced to sit on my steel case as a stand, either handle up on edge to my right. or on end depending on how tight the stage is... within easy reach.

I may, in fact, be nuts. However, I am screwed onto the right bolt... Jesus!

I am increasingly a fan of anything-other-than-velcro.

Ha!......that is so cool......good job.
You have inspired me.
I need a pedal board badly. My pedals are laying all over my desk top.
I will not spend the asinine price they are asking for pedal boards.
$100 for $10 worth of bent aluminum or a nylon wrapped zipped up bag with a foot of Velcro included......no thanks.
I tried to find a price for that Holeyboard but couldn't. It looks expensive. Really expensive.
Just one thing........
Can I borrow your drill?

I have stuff.
I try to make music with it.
Sometimes it works.
Sometimes it doesn't.
But I keep on trying.

Larry, total cost of materials maybe $3.98 for zipties
had the board out in the garage from a shelving unit that collapsed under the weight of too many books about guitars... the feet layin' about from another project.
Holeyboards are a bit spendy, but nice

No duck tape or Velcro on some of my vintage pedals 😠so I bought the two tier (local guy in St Paul builds them) and zip ties work well.... & cheap!
Same with my Gator gig box for my dobro/lap steel accordion acoustic setup. I used plastic electrical wall/switch covers and put Velcro on back, zip tying the covers to the bottom of effects.
But yours gets the same job done Dave😉

Hillbilly Pedal Board? And I thought I was the only who had one. We are looking at the "Snakebyte" Split Level. Pedals and switcher on top - power supply and Black Box on lower level. Named by amp repairman for the brand PVC pipe holding it together:
Side view:
I recommend the optional carrying case:
16" x 16" black plastic pegboard specifically designed, manufactured and sold by Walmart with the correct dimensions for pedal steel guitar:

Here's mine. I leave everything plugged in except the power. It started out with just the pegboard part in the center and grew with pieces of scrap lumber as I added pedals. Weighs a ton! FWIW, I'm running 4 instruments (Supro doubleneck, mandolin, flat-top guitar, and a resonator) through this into a Cube 80GX set on JC Clean (except for Allman Bros stuff). Sets up in minutes! After lugging it around to about 150 gigs in 2 yrs I am retiring it for slightly more upscale piece of trimmed and finished plywood. Yeah baby!
