Building My First Mini-Board

darthed1981

Thanks for everyone who helped in the thread I started on this.  Started building a cheap mini board to get me started with organising my pedals!

Only mini-pedals allowed on this one, so a few I have in the drawers aren't!  But, here is progress.

I have some angled patch leads and velcro coming in the post tomorrow, and I'll use a daisy chain for now though a bit tempted by a Harley Benton combined tuner and PSU!

First a lump of wood and a TS Mini I bought from PMT earlier (currently £52!)

Now a quick few minutes work and the board is covered in gaffa tape so it's a bit more "plasticky" and less splintery, and with my current mini pedals all waiting to get joined up and powered!

I would imagine a lady of her class would appreciate my manly use of gaffa tape in those quantities

Looking good! What's next on the list?

Delay pedal in the post tomorrow (a cheapo Donner with 7 types of delay, so much fun to be had)

Progress though...

I've already got some fun tones combining the TS and Fuzz

How are you powering it?

euurgh having the cable loops on the switch side is triggering some kind of OCD and i dont normally care about neat pedal boards.

How are you getting on with the Fuxx Fuzz? I picked one up a while ago but I am struggling to get good tones from it.

Daisy chain at the minute.

I like it but it likes being turned on by itself or with very little of the other pedals.

When using the board I leave the TS mini on all the time though it's like a "sound better" button!
