Now you’ve chosen a platform to hold all of your pedals, you need to think about how you’re going to fasten them to that board to prevent them from moving around during transportation. SIZING: Step 1 is ALWAYS: determine your size; the type and/or style of pedalboard doesn’t matter. Lay all your pedals out accounting for power & patch cables. Also remember, your an addict and its 99% likely that you’ll be adding more stuff to this board so plan ahead and you may as well make it future proof with an extra 8-12″ of width ;-D The plan was to cover the top boards with carpet tiles and drop them into the frame, so I had to glue lengths of baton onto the inside edges of the frame to support the board. The batons also had to be glued at a depth that would allow the top of the carpet tile to be level with the top edges of the frame.

Wherever possible, try to hide the cables underneath the pedalboard as this will make everything look much neater and easier to work with.
