Peddle board suggestions

[ElNumero]

Most all of my pedals which were Boss were destroyed in the September 20 24 hurricane flood waters. Including the paddleboard, which was also a boss. I’m slowly rebuilding my pedals and I’m open to suggestions to use for a board. I’m looking at earthboard that’s the one that uses the magnetic rails supposedly? And it’s battery powered or rechargeable? I don’t know a whole lot of about it, but I see their ads constantly anybody have any experience with that one? TYIA

Sorry, Will, but I don't have any experience with those. I have a PedalTrain with an Eventide power supply. A nice setup, but it stays on the shelf mostly. I generally plug straight in.

What size do you want?  How many pedals are you going to use? Are you going to be using a pedal looper system or only the pedals themselves? Do you want a 2 tier system?  Do you want a hard lid or gig bag?  Are you going to be using multiple power supplies?

I just finished a pedalboard rebuild that is HUGE and the cost was significant.  My pedalboard weighs 40-45lbs.  It is perfect for me for use at home with almost all my pedals available at anytime for recording use or just playing at home.

I think you need to be more specific to the questions above to get a recommendation.

I believe mine is ash.

I have used Boss, Gator, Boice Box, and currently use Pivotal Pedalbords.

There are so many good companies that make pedal boards, power supplies, gig bags or hard cases for them etc. It's hard to give advice when we don't know what's floatin' up in your noggin. When I start building a new pedalboard, I think of the job that it is going to do, and then I build to that. I needed a very simple board as a backup for my main acoustic board just in case it goes down, and knowing I was going to use 4 pedals, it wouldn't need to be very big. So I figured I could make one from parts I got at the local home depot. I used some black paint, simple shelving, aluminum from the metal stock, and screws and handles from the fastener section. The only thing that didn't come from home depot was the rubber feet which I already had here. I power it with a one spot to the tuner. And the tuner powers everything wlse from it's convenience 500mv 9 volt DC outlet. It has all the pedals I need for my acoustic guitars that are equipped with magnetic pickups: volume, tuner, EQ, reverb and delay. The beauty of building your own board is that you can make it the exact size you need it. After I built mine, I did a google search and found a company that had a gig back that would fit it.
