In the final stages of putting a pedalboard together. I did a rough mock up of the pedal layout. I was hoping to use a smaller board but it will be too tight once the cables and connectors are set. If only everything was bluetooth! The key will be to have slim patch cables and connectors. The cardboard cut out is the interior dimensions of the pedalboard and the working space to lay the pedals.
I did various permutations and came to the conclusion that the current layout in the pics appear to be optimal(maybe?). The delay, mobius and royal overdrive are near the front to have access to the tap tempo/presets/boosts. The board will be angled but i purposely left space for teh Mobius due to its tapping nature which requires both buttons to be hit at the same time to go up or down the presets. I was also hoping to have the delay next to the quartermaster but it is too tight. The layout seems to work reasonably well for the order of the pedals in the loop:
Loop 1: Tuner
Loop 2: Subnup
Loop 3: Royal Overdrive
Loop 4: Soul Drive
Loop 5: Buffer/Boost
Loop 6: Mobius
Loop 7: Delay
Another option is to move the Mobius down and insert another overdrive above (pic 2). Although the board will be angled, i'm not sure how the preset changes for the Mobius will work out and, if it will be a little tight in the real estate space. If i opt for this, will need to experiment with the board before finalizing it.
I received the quartermaster and Yankee power supply today and they seem to work really well. The Yankee power supply comes with a cool USB powered light (which i will use for something else as the power supply will be underneath the board).
If you have any thoughts on layout or other, please share.
