Looking For A Custom Guitar Effects Pedal Board

By Carolyn Kennedy


A large number of guitar players will use various effects to change the sounds that are produced by their instrument to suit the type of music that they play. You can purchase and use units that have many different pedal sounds but some players prefer to use individual units. If you are looking for a Custom Guitar Effects Pedal Board there are various specialists that can make one for you.

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 are able to find a qualified sound engineer to manufacture customized boards by searching various places. If you have a guitar store in your area they will usually be able to recommend a builder and you can also find contact numbers for builders in your local phone book. Many specialists will also advertise in guitar magazines and if you know other musicians it can be worth asking them if they have any recommendations.

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.

After finding a builder you can get in touch with them and discuss what you need and to get a price for the equipment. The costs involved will depend on the components that are used and how long the build takes. It is worth getting in touch with a few different manufacturers for prices so that you can make some comparisons and get the best deal.

As well the effects units there may be other things that you need to add to make performing a little easier. Many guitarists will want volume pedals and tuners so that they can tune instruments during a show. Some players also have a light fitted on their boards so that they can see their effects clearly when performing in a dark venue.

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.
