effects/pedal board leg attachment solutions

[Andrew Frost]

Interested to hear about your solutions for having effects pedals/pre amps/black box/amp head or whtatever close by at fingertips.
Like a tray that attaches to the leg of the guitar etc.

These days I keep a small board on the floor to the right of me. This has my amp head and a couple small units. Reaching to the floor to tweak tone is a bit of a nuisance, but simple set up and strike makes it worthwhile.

I've experimented with leg trays and attachments in the past but they didn't take for whatever reason.
Revisiting the issue here though...

Thanks
Andy

I use a tripod stand that is like a mini version of the speaker stands that are used a lot. This keeps my pedal board at a level that is easy to reach. I used those Rubbermaid floating shelf boards, and brackets that you can buy that fit on the stand. They are the same size hole as the large speaker stands. I drilled and installed 1/4-20 threaded inserts into the bottom of the board, and use plastic knob style screws to attach it. My board also has a cord to plug into my guitar and one to plug into my volume pedal, that stay attached even when in it's case. Sort of like "plug & play". I also have a phone holder for times when the band uses set lists, and I have them stored on my phone. It also has rubber feet on the bottom in case I use my NV400 head on the floor to my right. This board would sit on top of the head.

I built a drawer into my seat.

Nicholas and Richard....very cool solutions!

I like the idea of using the seat. Knobs at your fingertips, less on the floor.

I did something similar at one time. Another benefit was you could set it up , hook it up off the bandstand, so, easy one piece on and off.

Also like the idea of a smaller footprint on a tight stage, and you’re less likely to leave something behind on a hectic, dark load out.

Not the most elegant solution, but I usually set my guitar case up sideways and put my pedals on it. I'm typically only using a pedal or two max, so it gets them off the floor and closer to my hands.

I always thought it would be neat to have a switchbox on the steel leg that operates your different pedals. Once you get them set you really only need them either on or off.

I use a steelseat.com pedalboard. It has legs like a pac-a-seat

That's nice, Johnny.

I have wondered about a tray that would rest down on the two adjacent legs of the guitar, and then I wondered if that would interfere with the transference of vibrations from the guitar cabinet to the floor, causing my guitar's colour to fade from black to gray

I always figured that leg attachments could only be robust enough for 2-3 pedals max, and I've never bothered. I used to gave a Hilton that clipped on, and that was neat enough, but i imagine two or three separate ones of those would be messy.

I keep an earth drive, tuner, a zoom CDR and a little 9V supply on a short piece of mdf next to me on the floor - about 3"x9"
