Life too short for long YouTube videos? Please see the ‘Interesting bits and go-to sections’ information below.

In this episode we discuss and demonstrate the things you need to think about when putting together your first pedalboard. It’s the really basic stuff like choice of board, potential layout, fixing pedals to the board, power, cabling and so on. We try to keep it as entry-level as possible, but if you want something more involved, check out our big board build videos!

PLEASE NOTE:
We spoke with Mission Engineering about the issue we experienced with the 529 at around 1:02:18. Since our review unit, Mission tells us it has made a modification to the 529 to eliminate this… and is offering a free mod/upgrade to any customers experiencing issues with units made before the mod.
