Hi All.......
So I've been slightly obsessed with building my own pedalboards for the last few years and must have done around 6 iterations. I got the last one (built around 6 months ago) to a point where a few guitar friends asked me to make them one, but i still had some issues to resolve, mostly around appropriate materials to use and getting the build and design tight.
Well finally you could call this the Production Prototype........
Specs: 12mm birch ply, hard wearing ABS top and bottom, aluminium trim all round, bolt-through solid steel handle, 38mm rubber cabinet feet. 'Tis a solid yet elegant beast I tell thee.
Smorg has been my working title so that's what I've gone with for now!
Here it is with a small "low riser" suitable for a landscape double pedal. Currently working on various risers, including full length "high risers" that will fit a power supply underneath.
So now the request for Guinea Pigs:
In the next few weeks I'm making two of these for friends and I'm going to make up two more whilst I'm at it and offer them to the wider world. This is to gain feedback whilst I continue to work on risers, case solutions etc.
They will be offered at less than they cost me to make, and a lot less than what I would have to finally sell them for. One is approx. 450mm x 300mm, the other approx. 600mm x 370mm.
I'll charge £25 posted for the smaller one and £30 posted for the larger one. Reason for the charge is really to capture people with a little commitment who do actually want a pedalboard rather than just a freebie, and all I ask for in return is that you answer some feedback questions that I'll send you, and you update on thoughts in a few weeks / months. Would much prefer someone who is active, I.e. in a rehearsing / gigging band rather than a home only player, but other than that it's first come, first served.
You will also need a small degree of patience as this is just weekend fun for me, but funds would not be expected until boards are complete.
PM me if you are interested!
Cheers all.

How much are you thinking of selling them for? as Im quite interested for a home one.
So just to update, both Guinea Pig boards are now spoken for, will get to work on them.
Watch this space for actual "production" boards following these!
Pricing sounds pretty right to me, how much would the largest one just above this post in a case run you?
