So ive started to get a few talent enhancers, not that they are working... :eek:

I have an Aquapuss, deLisle fuzz, booste grande, bad monkey, zoom g2, tu2 and on they way Tavo's Nailhead.

And i just been mucking around coming up with some little pedalboards.
Ill be making a few for gigging friends and what not.

So far the '300' and '500' are what ive built, similar to the Ikea boards people were making.

You did, good guess!
Its just acrylic laquer, and just for home use.
A friend is interested in a 500 and im working on a wedge with a power supply inside.

Sounds good :) I doubt you'll have any trouble modifying it, simple design is the way forward!

Well gear prices in Aus are insane..

A pedaltrain nano which is almost the samw as my '300' is around $100.

I think mine are worth maybe 30-40 bucks..

Very cool Jayce! :D nice work! :D

I did the same thing back when I needed a pedalboard, all the manufactured ones were seriously overpriced and the wrong shapes for me.. so I built my own (http://www.gretsch-talk.com/forum/freds-barcalounge/24485-%5Bbuild%5D-pedalboard.html) :)

Knock one up...hahaha...yeah I suppose I could... but really the Gormes suit me fine, cheap looks and all. I'm not playing out, so I don't have to dress to impress. :)

Crap.. busted! I thought what happened in Vegas was supposed to stay in Vegas?!! :mad:

I like the brushed metal look of the Boss(the switch part anyway), did you do that? They should all come that way instead of those '70s carpaint-surplus/leftover colours.
