Looking For A Custom Guitar Effects Pedal Board

By Carolyn Kennedy


Many guitarists will decide to use a selection of effects units to give them some customized sounds that they need when they are performing their music. There are multi FX units on the market that have hundreds of sounds built in but many players will want to use separate stomp boxes. When you are searching for a Custom Guitar Effects Pedal Board there are many engineers that can build one.

Making and designing effects units and boards is highly technical work and it can only be done properly by qualified technicians. The individual boxes need to be wired in the correct sequence so that they work properly. It is also worth considering how you want the units to be powered and you can have a mains power supply or you may prefer to use batteries.

There are some different options available to you when you need to get a board made for you. You may wish to use your existing units and have them mounted them on a board which may be a better option for you. The other option is to find an engineer that can make you some bespoke effects and a customized board which many players prefer to do.

You will find a firm that manufactures customized boards by searching locally. Instrument stores in your neighborhood may be able to help you and there are contact numbers for businesses in the phone book. Many builders will place adverts in the music press and other guitarists that you know in the area may also put you in touch with a reputable builder.

The internet is another good place to locate a firm that can manufacture and sell you boards in Colorado. Many of the web based builders are able to manufacture bespoke products or you have the option to select one from items that they already have in stock. The web pages are informative and will feature color photographs of items that they have made and sold in the past.

When you have located a company to make your board you will need to tell them what you need and they can work out a price for the equipment. The prices you pay are going to depend on the number if units and how much work is required. It is worth contacting a few builders for a quote so that you can make comparisons before you make a final decision.

There are also some other useful modifications that you can make to your boards which are popular with players. A lot of musicians will want a volume pedal and an in line tuner so that they can monitor their instruments and keep them in tune throughout a performance. Many guitar players will also want their boards to be illuminated so that they can be seen on dimly lit stages.

Proper maintenance of effects units is essential to keep them in good condition and fault free. Always strip your boards down every so often to clean and inspect everything. When you buy any boxes you should keep your purchase receipts in case you have to exchange or return an item for any reason.
