I have an insane idea. You raise your monitor and you create a Lazy Susan. This way, instead of switch and storing all the gadgets, you rotate them under the monitor. The tools you need in front can be rotated into place. Now, how big of one, unsure. This all depends on how many you have and how big or small they are.

Why don't you put the units on toy train rails & wheels so you can just shunt them back & forth either in a circle as described above or just along the table from left to right?

thats a nice idea i wanna try also i know this metal pieces are not meant for doing the stuff on this videi but 40 dollars aww man

This is an epic idea that could help me to reduce clutter so much. I already have a 3d printable system that could be adapted for this purpose!

That's literally what I thought of

This is the most best most hilarious solution to maybe the nichest problem in history. God knows this only works for you but I love seeing the process. Keep it up!

I don't think i'd use a pedal board for this but the idea where you combine multiple devices into a "combo" is pretty novel. If you create a shelf that holds them all with labels on each cubby for what "combo" board is inside that would be awesome. Or add a hook to each pedal board and hang them from a curtain rod or something on your wall. Whatever the storage solution, making it grab and go is pretty neat. Not to mention some of these boards could work just as well on an ipad in a different location as they do on the computer.

Sorry dude, for 40 bucks each one, you got ripped off. You could make them yourself with aluminum, Acrylic, Iron cast or wood. Custom designed to fit the size of your gear. Not too hard to pull off. Good video production for sure.

As a guitar player and tech head I think this is brilliant! I’ll be implementing this to my own setup soon. Thanks!

I could see a magnetic USB adapter making the swapping of boards even easier! Probably only for USB-A though, I've heard mixed things about USB-C magnetic adapters.

Thanks for the support!

Love this idea. I've attempted to do something sort of like this with my portable desk as a whole, but haven't thought to focus on a smaller scale. I also have this similar OCD conundrum, and that Animal Crossing story certainly resonates with me. My theory is just that I always like to have the most optimized setup for the task at hand. Nothing more, nothing less. Whatever it may be, I only want the most relevant devices in front of me; as anything I'm not actively using becomes instant clutter / distraction. This is why I love this Gadget Rack idea that can also help with light cable management. My current setup is in my living room, as my bedroom is too small for any practical work / entertainment. So I have my PC and console hooked up to the TV, and I use a manually height adjustable desk on wheels that carries everything I need on it; which I can wheel off to the side of the living room when not in use. I have just 2 meter thunderbolt cable that I'll connect to a docking station on this desk when I need the non-wireless stuff powered and connected. This does require a separate power source, but I had built this into the desk by adding a mountable power strip on the underside, which I can easily slide off and put aside when putting the desk away. I thought I had it all figured out this way, but I find myself rearranging the surface of my desk depending on the task, or needing to take things off of the desk to make room for other stuff on occasion. Everything at once is just too cluttered, though I do use everything at one point or another. This video offers some much needed food for thought! 🍻

This is how I am but for me it's not a pain switching in and out! I love changing and rearanging so it always feels fresh and new whenever I make a change. Love the vid, cheers.

This is freaking brilliant. I already have some pedalboards around. Gotta try it. Thanks!

Great video as always. The editing. The storytelling. The information. Absolutely fantastic. Looking forward to many more!

Bro, this is genius. I am definitely using this in my own setup! My desk is multi-functional because I have a lot of different hobbies and types of work, so this is an excellent solution. A+ video

Fantastic idea!!! Thanks for sharing, can't wait to find a way to implement something for my own setup!

I literally just did the same thing! That's awesome! I actually included different keyboards to my pedalboard to suit different needs. Gaming vs work vs editing videos. Currently trying to figure out how pluging in different "pedalboards" will trigger different automations on my desk to change lighting and room automations.

Very Nice! Might have to adopt this.

The video I didn't know I needed. This kind of thing is catnip to me, thank you.

I absolutely love this idea and thank you for sharing this. I am going to run with this at some point soon.

I will use this system for sure

The intro really hit home. I can totally relate.

Another great video, kudos!

The way I cackled when you were like, "You know what solves the problem?" And in my head, I was like "More pedal boards" at the exact same time as when you said it.

I love the Big Muff. If you only have one pedal, it should be that one. Also...pedal board for gadgets? Genius. I'm a guitar playing developer as well, so this really hits home for me too.

Concept is awesome. For me, some acrylic sheets with standoffs could be perfect.

I legit was looking for a stand just like that. You have the best gadgets review

Brilliant. I’m definitely inspired by this idea.

For me what helped get me organized and feel less overwhelmed was to go through and donate/sell stuff on my desk im no longer using. I find theres a lot of value in being intentional with what im buying/using.

Idk why but I love these videos I love seeing more tech ideas I find it relaxing

Friggin brilliant!

Hello Playdate! Love this guitar pedal board gadget rack idea!

Just wanted to drop in and say that I combined this idea with an IKEA hack that used small wall shelves as pedalboards. For about $15 AUD ($10USD) I got a 2ft shelf that suits my needs. I don't need to swap gear around constantly, but now I got a stand for my drawing tablet and a tidy place to keep/charge my phone, watch and earbuds. Might attach a desktop USB charger to the underside to keep cabling on the desk even neater.

Great video! Go easy on the warp stabilisation

Superb quality, like always. 🙌

now why didn't I think of that?! effing brilliant solution man 👍

I did a similar thing with a spare 10 U rack from my band days. I loaded it with drawers, a sliding shelf and a spare power conditioner and turned it into my A/V rack. Its on casters and at that time was also a place to stand a display on. The sliding shelf had a Bluetooth keyboard, mouse a USB dock and HDMI switch. I ran the wiring the same way I did a guitar rig. The pedal board idea is genius!

Right? It's crazy indeed. We just moved into a smaller room in the house and downsized the tech. My old pedaltrain nano could be a perfect solution to how to wrangle everything into the small space!

As a bass player myself, I was thinking "why I did not think of this myself"! Great job, man!

This is so mind blowing and game changer!

I'm also now imagining a Line 6 Helix equivalent for PC gadgets somehow. Where it can sort of emulate macro pads and Spotify controllers and things like that, haha

For a DIY option, there’s square aluminium tubing that can be bought from Bunnings or Home Depot. Just need a hack saw and use various combinations of t-joiner bits. Maybe screw or stick feet underneath from the furniture padding aisle. Also if velcro is not stronk enough, dual lock is an even more robust alternative

This is awesome! As a musician / KZreadr who has the same issue, I love this idea. But maybe you just need a music desk workstation like the Wavebone Headquater desk or something similar? That way everything is there.. and no swapping.. sort of.

I'd never seen that desk before, thank you for putting it on my radar. You're likely on to something though, maybe I should explore musical desk setups to find solutions!

I did something like this with extruded aluminum, similar to what you'd see on frames of DIY 3d printers. Works pretty well but I phased out extra devices out of my workflow a while back. If I did it again I'd still use the aluminum but Id find a way to make them swing out from under the desk or on a tray etc.

nice, i thought of something similar this gives me some cool ideas

I find it interesting how much overlap there's been between my brothers music and my streaming. We don't know how to speak the same language, but we're conquering the same problems.

Great idea and thanks for sharing! What amp is that?

A rack is a great idea! I've thought about something similar for my second laptop. Say, where did you get your separated ergo keyboard? I've been looking for one for years to relieve my carpal tunnel.

Nice setup! What's the numeric kepad with the knob and slider?

You know, I did something similar myself. The main difference is that I don't swap devices often, but I still wanted them easily removed and in a confortable spot. So I basically made an elevated wood platform on my desk, under the screen, and I have my uphoria audio card on top of it and my touch screen just in front of it. When I'm not using it or I need space, I just tuck it underneath the platform. Its also a great space to keep my 14 inch laptop accesible but out of the way. I also have a wireless charger for my watch attached just under the platform, so I don't see the charger or cables, but I can just put my watch on top and easily charge it.

Unfortunately I use a big midi keyboard and I cant move it easily. I wanted to have it concealed under the table, but I cant because of a metal beam in the way. So i just made like a countertop on top of my storage to my side and placed it there.

Feel like this is somewhat solving a problem that doesn't exist. How much easier is constantly swapping out gadgets, over just keeping your desk organized?

Brilliant!

Totally feel you about never feeling satisfied with the setup. There's always something to optimize, move around, there's always a cleaner way to arrange things. It's seriously an addiction. Sometimes I start going crazy at work and reorganizing my desk at the office for no fucking reason what so ever lol

big brain creative moment

ok i bit and bought one. I have a jabra speaker puke, lamp control knob and a stream deck on mine with the small usb hub attached to it. It works great for my setup I'm very happy with the setup.

in regards to your studio monitors, tweeters should be on the outside, in a horizontal speaker layout. You have your tweeters on the inside. You should flip them.

How do you integrate the tablet into your work flow? Do you use it as a remote or standalone piece of tech?

cool video, can i get the source for that desktop wallpaper? it looks super clean ngl

Brilliant.

@3:56 That desktop wallpaper... Where can I get it? What car is that (looks like a Ford NASA-edition or something)?

Very cool video! That Ford GT wallpaper goes hard, where'd you get it?

I would like to know how you got that macropad to work. I have the same one and have never been able to use it.

Cool ideas

Sick video, dude! I dig your channel a lot. Weird question though. I've been eyeing one of these but want to be able to change the rubber feet out for some taller ones. Are the feet screwed on, is it a hex bolt, can they even come off? Thanks a heap!

this is a cool idea

Broooo you're a fucking genius, I'm Def buying a couple of those!

For the android tablet playing music, how do you manage multiple audio devices into your headphones? i.e. listening to your computer's audio output and the tablet audio output on the same pair of headphones. It doesn't seem like you have anything plugged into the tablet so I'm guessing it's all just Bluetooth connections? If so, what does that look like? Thanks in advance!

Lmao as a guitar player and avid gamer who works from home, I'm surprised I never thought of doing this. Awesome video!!

As a guitar player with a similar way of thinking about pedals and pedalboards, I find it embarrassing how obvious a solution this is to desktop layouts and how I've never thought of it. I used to play with a guy that did this exact thing with his guitar pedal setups....while I have a couple big ones that I manage, he has multiple small ones...."this is the RATM/90s drop D grunge board, this is the metal board," etc. It just makes sense.

I feel like I'm watching a 2000 teen movie ....and ITS FREAKING GREAT I miss those times and vibes

Depending on how sensitive the devices are to magnetism you could use Sugru and magnets on your devices along with strips of ferrous metal on the pedal boards, instead of velcro…

What's the stand/case that your android tablet is I'm, I've been look for exactly that for ages

nope for the gadget but yesss to the channel! Good work buddy! Nice content, pleasant to see and hear!

Hey buddy, love the green of your room. Would you happen to be able to share the name of the paint?

I really don't think that $40 is a particularly good price for the role it serves here.

I love this channel and the content because I feel you and I have the same mental disorders lol

This is a great idea but I'd just simply model and 3D print one or make one out of some scrap wood and it would be a heck of a lot cheaper

This was one of those projects where by the end of it I was close to pulling the trigger on a 3D printer. I think it's the next step for the channel. Any models you'd recommend?

You inspired me. I think the pedal board is a great platform....FOR CHARGING. Hear me out. All sorts of camera, AA battery chargers, tool chargers are just begging to be modular with wire management. I built one of out of wood to help control the wire mess I have on my charge area but it is nowhere near as slim or sturdy as your guitar pedal solution. So I thank you so much to getting me to rethink the setup again.

Hey, what's that CRT tv thing at 5:23?

This is not the brightest idea but it is still an idea and I respect it
