FYI, see link below ... a project I decided to work on recently - a few people I've told about it, asked a few questions, so here are photos show the start-to-finish process/steps that I went through. I guess this is a "Covid project" in that I might not have tackled this as soon if it weren't for all the "At-home" hours in the past ~2 months!

Pedalboard Project

Beautiful build! I'm a big fan of "neat & tidy" setups, and that fits the bill!

Great project. Its nice when pedals are always ion the same place so you don't have to look down. Now find a small suitcase that it will fit in and dump all you other cables, etc. on top of the board and yur ready to travel. Setup time cut in half. Good job

Nice, thank you for sharing. I got tired of "chasing" my pedals all around my hardwood floor and gave up, so I bought a dual Boss FS6 and put it against the wall. The ergonomics aren't good, it's a litte too far away. But at least now it can't move further away after multiple presses! Definitely need to do something like this myself!!

I rather use my 2 FS5U pedals linked vs the FS6
which I didn't like due to the battery it had to have.

Donny I bought a pig tail on Amazon that snaps onto the 9V battery connector inside of the FS6. I connected the pig tail to a low current 9V adaptor (wall wort). No more changing the battery! I agree that it was a nuisance but I like the heavy construction and positive operation of the FS6 compared to the individual spring-hinged foot switches. YMMV.

Jim, Great project, very creative everything from the concept, photos to the completion of it. Your not only a talented musician but looks like you are at home with power tools as well.
