    Peter Piper pondered a post on picking the perfect pedalboard. He provided the important prerequisites and a promising plan, but plugging it into power proved perilous as the polarity wasn’t precise and the popular personality’s perseverance in proper practice was exposed as a pile of poop... and his house burnt down.

We cover a lot of genres from classic country to hard rock, and everything in between. So I'm adding pedals as I go - so far I have 3 on my self-built one that I carry in a suitcase. I've been lucky so far with my daisy chain power supply and meager collection. Thanks, Rhett!

    I charge my board with a giant phone battery with a usb to a daisy chain I got on Amazon. It's like 40,000 mah. I power like 8 pedals for weeks with that thing. Best part zero noise and no extension cords. Just make sure your total power draw doesn't exceed the battery output. Only down point, that big bastard takes 8 hours to charge.

    Nice to see Rhett explaining the important stuff about pedalboards. Wish I knew this when I built my pedalboard! Didn't take into account the need of a good pedal switcher until I started rehearsing and jamming with bands again. A power source with isolated outputs like the Zuma is expensive, but it pays a LOT in the long run. If you run your guitar through 5 or more pedals, consider also a good buffer circuit in the audio chain, especially using long cables. Oh, and some digital pedals (like TC's) don't like to be daisy-chained. Last but not least, use quality guitar cables, they DO make a difference.

    I've literally just put together my first proper pedalboard, and I can testify to the good advice here. I would probably add: the planning stage might benefit from the odd diagram, so that you can see where you will be stomping and what the cabling requirements are. I benefitted from sitting in the place where I play to get an idea of what length the cables needed to be. Another thing to bear in mind is the implications of what you're plugging into. In particular, if an amp, does it have an effects loop? For the record, if anyone's interested, I ended up with a Pedaltrain Nano+, powered by an MXR iso brick mini, with a TC Electronic Flashback 2 and an EH Ocean's 11 in the effects loop of my Victory V30, and in the front end an Xotic BB preamp mid-boost version, with an old Morley wah possibly going after it (but not on the Nano+). Andertons have a good video on this with Danish Pete, and they have an excellent web page supporting it too.

    Great timing Rhett! Im currently putting together a mini pedal board to coax the clean channel on the Fender Frontman 10g I got for x-mas to make a sweet little practice rig, since this is my first pedal board build and I didn't know better I WAS going to cheap out on a wall wart. But after seeing this, it confirms my suspicions that im gong to need a better power supply to suit the goal the board is trying to achieve. The steps you broke the process down into where really helpful, I had picked out the right pedals for the job but failed to realize I didn't have the proper power supply in mind to get the most use out of them. Thanks Rhett you just saved me at least 20 bucks on a wall wart that wouldn't cut it, now ill happily wait and save for the right tool for the job and avoid the frustration.

    I've played for over 20 years now and just now started messing with effects pedals. Every band I ever fronted, I've just used my amps on-board effects/overdrives, if there were any, and made out fine. But now that I'm spending a lot of time home, I've started exploring effects pedals. As I'm sure you're ALL aware... opening this can of worms has QUICKLY got out of hand. Not a bad thing, but yeah.. this is what kept me away from effects pedals and od's.. I know me, and know how I obsess over things like this haha. Being ocd.. putting together my first pedalboard has actually been therapeutic in a variety of ways, but also overwhelming at times. I thank you, Rhett, for your videos, because I've referenced so many other KZread videos, along with yours, and feel like I've found the right overdrives, effects, pedalboard, cords, cables, ect. To build the board to my liking. Thanks for the help! And just a little tip for anyone who might need it, if you're playing in dark rooms, find one of the music stand or piano music sheet lights that can be powered by a USB. They mount perfectly onto a pedaltrain with a clip, have two brightness settings, and don't need batteries (although they do make ones that do for less cords) I'm sure I sound dumb because I'm sure people have better ways, but it works great for me and was really really cheap, under 6 bucks I believe. Anyways, lovin this! Hope to have a few discussions about other people's boards!

    This is really excellent. I’m originally a sax player and now born again musician on guitar 🎸 as of a year and a half ago. For my first pedal I bought a ‘guitar lab’ which has dozens of effects, it’s programmable, has a tuner, basic looper, expression pedal, and rhythm machine-all for only $100. This is of course not really a substitute for having a populated pedal board, but it got me started. First actual pedal, a top of the line looper. It’s awesome. Then I bought a Roland Go Mixer. Next I’m thinking a great Blues pedal. Well, I play outside a lot, no wall plugs, you get the picture. Plus I have to plug and patch everything in each time. Answer: Pedal board. I gotta say though, when you got to power supply, I was thinking I’ll just ask the shop guy. But at least I’m not blind to the issue now, so thanks.

    I just shared this video with a friend who is building his first pedal board. Great video! For a small(ish) pedal board, the Boss PSA-120S is pretty quiet. I gig with it and power five pedals with a daisychain cable. I don't think it's quiet enough to use for recording, but for someone on a budget building a basic gig board, You can't go wrong if your pedals don't draw more than 500 mA current. It filters out a surprising amount of noise. It's so affordable--about $33--you can carry a spare and still save $50+ over a power supply with isolated sockets.

You can often share a 100mA tap between low-current pedals, and couple taps 5 & 6 to feed pedals that need up to 500mA. You can also couple two 9V taps to power a pedal requiring 18V, or use the dip switches and couple to achieve up to 24V. Xotic also makes a voltage doubler connector that goes between the power tap and the pedal (about $30). You can even use the courtesy outlet on the back for a wall wart that comes with a high current pedal, in a pinch. All of these options add up a little bit, but for some this will be a good option as a new power supply is definitely more expensive!

    The Voodoo Lab Pedal power 2 plus has 8 little switches on the bottom, and if you flick them the outlets provide 12 volts instead of 9. So it would work fine on your board with the eventide and 12 volt pedals.

    This is nice! I'm a keyboardist starting to put together a bit of a rig, and wanting to make my own pedalboard. Even though most of these guides are for guitar, I'm still learning a ton. Like the bit about power supplies. My first "attempt" at a pedalboard is just a volume pedal, a delay pedal, a mixer, and "wall warts". (I made an informal video about it!)

    Rhett, I watch your channel all the time. I've never felt a need to talk about this before but this just happened in the past few months and it's really important and it's about pedals! Okay, I'll be concise. I built my first pedalboard about two years ago. I never really liked how it sounded. It looked amazing but nothing special in the tone department. Over $2,500. I was going to sell ALL my pedals. Decided I'd never use pedals I was happy with my Clean and Dirty/Overdrive Channels and my favorite tube amps. But wait, not yet. I re-did the entire pedal board, the big one. Now it was a REALLY great sounding and looking pedal board! I was really happy with it and still am! BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE! Now I had left over about three pedals that were just sitting in my gig box for a month or so. Then VOILA, it hits me! Those three pedals would make an amazing Experimental Rig and the pedals were an MiniVan Echo/Delay pedal, a Bit Commander/Synth/Octaver pedal AND a Distortion Factory/Tube Screamer/Rat pedal... It turned out that this Echo/Delay/Synth/Octaver/Tube Screamer Combo was FRIGHTENINGLY GOOD AND AMAZING SOUNDING!! I'M SWITCHING TO CAPS!! I WAS SO FREAKED OUT BY THE TONES THAT I WAS GETTING THAT I LITERALLY COULD NOT PLAY FOR AN ENTIRE TWO WEEKS, AS I WAS ABSOLUTELY SO AWESTRUCK BY THE TONES THAT I HAD TO MENTALLY RECOOPERATE!! VOODOO? YES, IT WAS SOME KIND OF TONE MAGIC VOODOO!! I'M TELLING YOU THAT THIS IS SOME TYPE OF HOLY GRAIL OF PEDAL COMBINATIONS THAT I HAVE DISCOVERED!! IT'S LIKE THE KIND OF TONE THAT STARS ARE MADE OF!! SUPER CELEBRITY TONE!! THERE ARE NO WORDS!! I HAVE NO WAY TO DEMONSTRATE THIS TO YOU RIGHT NOW BUT THOUGHT THAT YOU MAY ACTUALLY ALREADY HAVE THOSE PEDALS OR SOME SIMILAR COMBINATION THAT YOU COULD EXPERIMENT WITH ON YOUR SHOW!! I AM TELLING YOU, THIS IS THE MOST EXCITING TONE DISCOVERY I HAVE MADE IN OVER 30 YEARS OF BEING A MUSICIAN, GUITARIST AND STUDIO TECH!! I WOULD LOVE TO PATENT THIS TONE, TO BOTTLE IT AND MAKE A PEDAL THAT COULD MAKE THIS TONE THAT I'VE DISCOVERED IN THIS COMBINATION!! I HAVE NEVER SEEN OR HEARD OF THIS EXACT PEDAL COMBINATION BEFORE BUT ONE COULD BUILD THEIR LIFE AND CARREER AROUND THIS TONE I'VE CREATED, AS DESCRIBED... I HOPE THIS ALL MAKES SENSE TO YOU. I LIVE MUSIC, I'M SURE YOU CAN TELL THAT NOT MUCH ELSE REALLY MATTERS TO ME AT THIS POINT... I thought about keeping this pedal combination a secret but then I felt that I could not do it. I wanted to hear others experience the same joy I have found with this combo. It's just three pedals! Oh and to make it REALLY over the top, if you put a FUZZFACE into the "Line In" on the MiniVan, it brings on yet ANOTHER ENTIRELY NEW DIMENSION OF SOUNDS THAT YOU HAVE NEVER HEARD BEFORE, ARE TOTALLY ANALOG SOUNDING, (AND THEY ARE), AND WILL JUST ABSOLUTELY HAVE YOU PUTTING YOUR GUITAR DOWN FOR AT LEAST ONE WEEK JUST TO GRASP REALITY AGAIN, THAT'S HOW BLOWN AWAY AT WHAT YOU JUST HEARD YOU WILL BE! I say no more... LoVe, LoVe, LoVe your show!! FANTASTIC!! Such an EXPERT!! LOVE IT!!

    First off, great vid! I just wanted to say that the center negative that pedals run on is the exception in the electronics world; most 9v supplies (unless specifically designed for pedals) will be center positive, as that is the standard. Most wall-warts too, so pay special attention to this. Secondly, any center positive can be converted to center negative bu simply reversing the wires on a standard cable (cut, reverse, solder, heatshrink). The isolation thing is very important though, and i woul recommend any begginer in this marvelous field to simply stick to a good power supply made especially for this. Cheers!

    Perfect pedal and power supply with plenty of plosive opportunities. Had me cracking up! Looking forward to following the build. I recently put together my first real board: a Pedaltrain nano+ and it's made a huge impact on my live playing. 1) No noise, 2) easy to setup, and 3) I sound better because of it. Using the 1Spot CS6 for power. Order: Boss tuner, JHS mini foot fuzz, Dirty Shirley, Spark mini boost, flashback and HOF (both full size). Sounds great, gives me a few options, and boost after OD is killer for soloing.

    My essentials are simple. 4 drives (klone, TS,BD and morning glory) so I can stack them in stages for high gain. 1 delay 2 reverbs 1 Flanger 1 tuner 1 clean booster (Keeley katana to fatten up the clean sound) I find it the most essential gig for almost all styles. From pop to classic rock to worship. Of course ir your doing heavy metal you'll substitute the 3 drives for a distortion but I'm talking about my "for almost everyuse" pedals

Feels great, the models satisfy. I know the joy of tubes, but damn, can't carry those well on a cargo bike and so heavy. Pedalboard, yeah, tempting. But with multiple pedals, multiple angles for noise and break in signal flow. A Helix is much simpler that way. Especially for travel.

All 6 plugs are plugged into a “6 gang” extension cable, which in turn is plugged into the plug socket of my home. Surely I have now achieved “isolation” and therefore no need for an expensive dedicated power supply (Voodoo labs etc). Am I correct? I’m new to this, so i might be over simplifying....
