About Pedal Boards

Before connecting the Pedal Power to your pedals, let’s talk about
pedal boards. The best installation is to mount your pedals and
power supply to a suitable pedal board. You can use anything from
a piece of plywood to a professionally built unit available from any
reliable supplier of road cases. Securely mounting your effects and
power supply will make it easy to transport without damage and
eliminates excessive flexing of cables which will cause their pre-
mature failure.

Most devices (pedal effects, power supply, tuner, volume pedals,
wah, etc.) can be mounted to the pedal board using an industrial
adhesive-backed velcro such as 3M dual lock. Audio cables should
be as short as possible. You can use off-the-shelf patch cords, or
better yet, make your own exactly to length. If you don’t know
how to solder, another option is using solderless connectors like
the “George L’s”.

Once the cables are all neatly routed, finish the job by securing
them with nylon cable ties and cable tie mounts. If you constructed
the board itself, heavy duty rubber feet and metal handles are useful
and will give a professional appearance.

ing dual lock, cable, connectors, hardware and many professional
