    Yep....hahahaha, I reckon I'll probably have all my bases covered, tone-wise....lol.


    Just about to glue the two carpet tiles on the Pedalboard with some Kwik Grip glue, will take a pic of it finished and post it so you guys can check it out.

    Cheers, and yep, the pedals are Velcroed-on, or will be, the beauty of that is you can easily remove the pedals and place them elsewhere on the board, some people like to use Zip-ties to keep them in place.

    The Velcro will stick to the carpet tiles.

    I bought some Velcro tape from my local Officeworks shop, but it was a bit expensive at about Au$17.00 each for a 25mm by 1M roll, I'm sure there are other places where I could buy it at a cheaper price though.


    Here's another pic of the Pedalboard, but this time with some pedals on it, they're not held in place by Velcro, yet though:

    I was able to fit sixteen of my pedals plus the power supply on the Custom Pedalboard I made.

    didn't take you long to fill that up!
    I had a delivery of a Boss RV-6 Reverb today...............been off in ambient land ever since. The Dynamic and Shimmer settings are trippy, far better than the built in effects in my Vox amp

    Boss do make some pretty cool sounding pedals, my current favourite Boss pedals are my Boss Compressor Sustainer, and Boss Super Chorus, I'm seriously wanting to get myself a Boss RE-20 Space Echo pedal, I know I have the Moen Pretty Dolly delay, but would be cool to have a second delay/echo pedal to get those Joe Satriani ambient sounds he gets, I think I might also get closer to that Hank Marvin sound too.


    So, I may order a Boss RE-20 before Christmas this year and pay it off on Lay by, it's always good to have a good sounding reverb or delay pedal, there's a 1U Rackmount Valve Driven Spring-Reverb kit that I would so love to buy and build, I heard a demo of it and it was a very lush and natural sounding reverb.


    How's your Dr Fuzz pedal going?

    You might try Spotlight if there is one near you, either that or another specialist sewing store, they usually do that sort of thing at a reasonable cost/m.
