In this video I walk you through my thought process for building a bass effects pedalboard—my way—using a simple “test board” approach before I commit to a final design. I start by choosing the core pedals and why: a Korg Pitchblack XS tuner (I really like this model), and a set of Behringer bass pedals (limiter/enhancer, graphic EQ, ultra chorus, and bass overdrive). The big reason I went Behringer is price and consistency—here in Canada I was into four pedals for roughly $200 CAD or less—so it’s a low-risk way to experiment before stepping up to something like Boss. From there I get into mounting and layout. I 3D print snap-in brackets for the Behringer pedals (PETG, not PLA, because it’s got a bit of flex and is less prone to snapping), and I modify a bracket for the tuner. The board itself is a simple 20" x 12" MDF test surface with a couple of 45° cuts to keep it compact and pleasing. I show how the pedals clip in tight, how I’m thinking about pedal order (compressor/limiter vs EQ first is the real debate), and how I power everything with an inexpensive Donner-style isolated supply. Finally, I wire it up with short flat 6" patch cables and set it up in the rehearsal room so I can actually live with it and refine the final version.
