POD Go on pealboard

[peeweejd]

I did something cool and thought I would share.  There was not a lot of info floating around because who take an all-in-one kinda thing and puts it on a pedalboard?

 

The pedalboard i bought is a Gator Cases large aluminum pedalboard.  The pedalboard is really nice quality, has a made in the US sticker on it.  It comes with a decent soft case that has a lid with some stiff material that will provide some protection to the top knobs/buttons.  THe pedalboard has rubber feet that are raised up a bit and can have a power cable sneak out underneath the board.  There is a clamp on the bottom to mount a power supply and my small one fit with plenty of room.  If I could, I would change the holes to be larger or differenter because it was hard to get things lined up and still have the connectors go down into the holes.

 

The power supply I have is made from Sweet Foot Pedals (look at my post history for the exact model).  It has an output for the POD GO/HX and 3 "normal" outputs for more pedals.  The power supply has worked good for me so far and eliminates the stupid wall warts.

 

I made an input/output box with 3 pairs of jacks wired together.  I used some special switchcraft washers to isolate the grounds for each jack so no ground loops will appear.  I wired the left side of the box to the input side of my Drop pedal, and POD Go amp and main out.  WHen I set up, I just plug guitar and amp/pa into the glittery silver box.  The box is a plain aluminum pedal case with holes drilled in it and then sprayed with home depot glitter paint and a ton of clear coat.  I'll prolly make some cooler labels for it.

 

I used Ernie Ball ribbon style patch cables for most of the wiring.  They have real small heads on them that worked nice with the pedals and pedalboard.  I also tried some of those diy patch cables with "pancake" heads and they did not work with my drop pedals because the slots on the pedalboard are weird/small/angled.

 

The POD Go and pedals are attached with the velcro material that came with the pedalboard.  I'll see how it works out.  I needed to remove the rubber feet from the POD Go to get it low enough.  Another alternative would be to add a 1/8" thick plywood bottom to POD go (without the feet) and attach it with screws into the rubber feet.  Then use bolts/wingnuts to attach the plywood to pedalboard.

Nice! And thanks for the power supply link!!!!

I have mine on a Ghostfire aluminum board from Amazon. Perfect fit for my needs and comes with a decent bag. Super light weight compared to my Gator boards.
