Williamson's Boards
Mk 4 Pedalboard
I have enclosed some pictures of my Bass Pedalboard's latest
incarnation. The main differences again are colour (after living with
the silver, I have decided that my preference is the all black) and the
addition of extra pedals. Why the modifications? Simply, it's because I
joined a gigging band and I needed to change things around to
accommodate certain sounds needed for the songs. To save money, I have
taken the Delay pedal off the Mark II Guitar pedalboard, and the Boost
pedal is from the now defunct all black Mark I pedalboard. I am
planning to purchase another Behringer delay though ('cos
they're great for the money), so that I can have 2 separate and
complete boards for Guitar and Bass.
Mk 3 Pedalboard
Hi Johnny. Here are the pics of my new Bass Pedalboard. This time
though, I thought I'd send you the pictures as I made it, from
beginning to end, well the important bits anyway. They may be of
interest. I'm using the case from Pedalboard Mk II as they are
interchangeable and saves money, which is always good!! I will be
looking to get a new case going forward, maybe something a bit more
roadworthy. The board is designed in such a way that it can be expanded
on. I'm considering a delay pedal at the moment to be placed on the
tier that hides the power leads - watch this space so to speak. I may
be back to you for right angle Neutrik leads, I'll see how the funds
are going!!

Mk 2 Pedalboard
Mark: Hi Johnny, as promised here are some photos of my upgraded
pedalboard. Main differences are:-
- The board colour, changed from black
to metallic/silver.
- A new arrangement/configuration of
pedals.
- Better construction of second tier,
the whole thing is more solid. Also allows cables to be hidden.
- The use of your mounting kit as
opposed to velcro. (This has been done by using a thin piece of board
inside the case).
I'm still using your patch cables and power unit, which are great.
Thanks again for the cables etc, I'll still be coming back for more as
and when..
Mk 1 Pedalboard
Mark has a cool looking all-black board - very compact too! He also has
some Behringer pedals - several Behringer pedals are extremely good
value and quality. Check out their user ratings over at Harmony
Central. Also two firsts for the Shredfreak user gallery:- an onboard
clock and a customer serial number!
Mark: The pedals are at 2 levels, I used some metal extensions on the
bottom of them. I also have a clock on top of your power supply to add
some of my personality to it.On the board are 4 Behringer pedals, which
for the money are great. I have their Overdrive, Distortion, Chorus and
Delay on there. I also have a Boss EQ and A/B selector. Also on there
is a Electro Harmonix Linear power Boost for that extra kick on solos.
Either side is a Wah and Volume Pedal and i use a Planet Waves cable
from the guitar. All pedals are in my trademark Black colour. Also
shown is a separate footswitch for my Amp. All my pedals are powered by
your Power Supply, and I use your right angled jacks off a daisy chain.
Also I use your patch cables of various lengths. And your patch leads
fit on very neatly. I'm very impressed with all the gear you've
supplied me, as I have been working to a budget to get my board
together and your stuff hasn't let me down. If I ever get a more solid
pedalboard, I'll be back for the pedal fixings you supply. I have a
budget board which is too thin alas!
