If none of the pedalboards on the market fit your needs, it’s fairly straightforward to make your own. Unfortunately for those who have never had a pedal board, the prospect of building or buying one can be overwhelming. With a few tools, some supplies for the local hardware store and the information in this tutorial, you will have your very own customised, fully operational, guitar effects pedalboard.

The more effect pedals you use, the more you need a pedalboard. Even the most basic unpowered board can provide a useful platform to hold your pedals securely, provide cable management and keep everything from sliding around onstage. For more complex or specialised rigs, a custom pedalboard can meet your specific switching requirements and make performance headaches a thing of the past.
