Duration:
0:59:14

In this episode we explore some of the basic topics you’ll be thinking about when building your pedalboard… via the medium of Mick's recent pedalboard build. We talk about choosing pedals, layout, physically attaching pedals to the board, signal cabling, power issues… all that fun stuff.
Clearly there are a tremendous number of choices you can make in every price bracket, so we pick up the quest as it relates to Mick’s build, before getting an initial listen to the results. Scroll down for some time guides to the various sections/topics.

Please note that the first half of the video is all talking and doing stuff - no playing. The playing and sound samples happen from around 27:45.

If you'd like to hear more of Mick's board you can hear it here with Mick's Gretsch: https://youtu.be/3cBAu3M4Apc
And here with Dan's 1961 LP Junior: https://youtu.be/0CORolxVmeY
