Michael Wright Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Found a used flight case pedal board at the big box music store. Cut the front down to floor level Ta Da! Now to secure pedals Just have to weld the cutout to the lid section 6 1 Quote "I cried when I wrote this song Sue me if I play too long" Walter Becker Donald Fagan 1977 Deacon Blues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenheeter Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Hi Michael, The only suggestion I might make would be to turn the pedals around to allow cables to exit through the opening. That way you could place the top cover on without disconnecting. That could come in handy between sets or for changeovers with several acts.

CEB Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Well Done. All these decades and I never thought of doing that. I changed my technique to putting the ball of the foot on the sustain pedal housing and pressing the pedal with the heel. 1 Quote "It doesn't have to be difficult to be cool" - Mitch Towne "A great musician can bring tears to your eyes!!!

Ken Or make another cutout at the back of the case for cables. I would personally struggle with a "backwards" expression pedal.

J.F.N. Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 That looks really cool, so the "hatch" covering the slot on the front of the board is part of the "lid" ? 1 Quote "You live every day. You only die once."
