Guitar Pedal Board

Lord_Gardener

It's all so complicated these days! I still rely on a Jen KPS 900 phase shifter, Shaftesbury Duo Fuzz and Vox Wah Wah - all are solid built and still working after 30 years!!!

Forgot to say that mine are all screwed into a piece of marine ply with rubber underlay to cushion underneath - all run off a 9v transformer - very cheap but does the job!

Indeed and we can be sure the Behringer pedals wont last close to so long, or sound remotely as good. My Boss overdrive and chorus, which I bought about 20 years ago are still going strong.

As to the pedal board, I'm sure you'll find plenty of home made examples described on the internet. Such as:

The fx100 has all the chorus and flanger etc built in.

I would suggest that he keeps that, and that you spend the money on a decent wah pedal and some sort of overdrive pedal/dist pedal, and a powerbank.

Depending on the type of music he plays that might be enough. As for the board, a piece of mdf covered in velcro material will be ok.

So
MDF and Covering £10 Max
Powerbank (powers 5 pedals) £20 (Maplins)
Wah (Crybabay) £60
Overdrive (digitech bad monkey) £35

Money well spent IMHO the overdrive pedal could be swapped for a fuzz or distortion depending on the style of music he plays.

If you want any more advice drop me a message.

Is this the right thing?
