New pedalboard preview

[Agileguy]

Thanks man, I appreciate it. But believe me, I barely have the skills to do this. I'm learning so much as I go along, and I'm making plenty of mistakes on the way. I'm glad I got a gigantic piece of ply (enough to do four of the same boards) as it leaves some much needed room for error.

I figured I'd take the time now to explain what my next move is going to be. Since I'm using a looper/midi controller, each pedal has to have a cable going to and coming from the unit. That makes for a lot of cabling, which would both look rather messy and distract from whatever color/design I put on the board.

So I came up with a little idea to hide the cabling. I'm going to make a riser for each pedal out of ply that will be just slightly smaller (say one tenth of an inch on each side) than the pedal it's under. Under the center of the riser, I will drill a hole, and then I will route channels into the riser so I can put the 1/4" and power cables under the riser, so they'll be as invisible as possible. I'll also be routing a channel right in front of my power supplies so I can put the cables under the board, as well as one in front of the controller so I can get the cables to it. I think I'll make a small angled riser for the controller, just so there's a little more room for the jacks on the bottom to get in there, and also to make it a little easier to use.
