Plastic and Pretty

Here it is.

After sitting in the studio for about 2 months cos i couldnt find the time to go down and do the necessary adjustments and tweaking.



Custom Pedal Board:

1/2" Perspex - Clear
Approx 18" * 12".

Routed three 3/4" channels to slip patch cables through, so that everything ends up a bit neater.
Pedals are attached with velcro strips.

Next Steps:
Sand down the underside to get a matte finish which is not see-thru.

Up Next:

Prototype 2 - angled pedal board

I'm thinking about making a smaller version that would fit just 3 pedals, a tuner and have a foot print of less than a square foot.

B'cos of its odd dimensions, I'm now searching for custom bag makers. Initially wanted a solid aluminum hard case, like those pro camera cases. After a little research.. they are bloody ex lah!. So the next step is to find a bag maker who can make custom soft cases. Anyone know where I can get the done? drop me a comment!!! I asked a previous boss if he had any idea where I could get that done and the conversation that ensued, needless to say, ended up going very off tangent.
