Building a pedalboard? Watch this first...

This Lekato pedalboard has everything you'd need to start up your pedalboard. Today we check out the Lekato pedalboard and work out exactly how much you can fit onto it, go through all of the things you get with it and explain why I was so excited to get my hands on one. If you would like one of your own, check out Lekato's website here:

Got this one on a Prime Day deal while in the middle of downsizing my rig. So freaking convenient, and more than enough juice. Only "issue" I had came when I needed power for my Walrus Audio ACS1, but I just got a current doubler cable and everything worked perfectly!

@@NineTo5Golf great to hear another success story with this board. It really is very convenient isn't it?

[@gringogreen4719]

Nice video! I like products like these for really two reasons: first would be a budget pedal board and second would be a "my first pedal board" experience. If you gig regularly this is probably a good way to start getting your sound or a good solid "mini board" if you have a much bigger and expensive board at home. For these inexpensive power supplies, it's a coin toss if they REALLY ARE isolated. I personally would go with "no" until I play it for some time. I think ideally this would be great for a mix of two Standard (Boss) sized pedals and three or four mini pedals. Two types of pedals that I would not recommend for here would be what I call "Elevated Pedals" (a production pedal that is more premium, price wise starts creeping up towards Boutique pedal prices and has a bigger milliamps draw) and Boutique pedals. The reason being is if you can afford a $300 pedal you should put it on a well made board. For the power supply you will need to check the milliamp draw on the pedals because a hungry pedal is just going to wreck the enjoyment out of playing a pedalboard and will be a never ending source of issues. This would be ideal for budget pedals (and yes, even if you use budget pedals do yourself a MASSIVE FAVOR by buying better patch cables (noise, failing, gremlins, etc...) for your board. All said and done this board with some good used and new Standard and mini pedals and good cables will set you back $250-$400 depending on what you buy new and used and how much you swap out pedals. I have three pedal boards, a Main Board with 12 pedals on it (probably will get one more mini pedal), my OG Pedal board from 20 years ago with 7 pedals, and a "budget board" that is made from a skateboard deck and 5 pedals. This is close to my budget board where I have around $340 tied into it all said and done. The skateboard deck was new and that was $70 (really beautiful Antihero brand board), anchor points and zip tied daisy chain power supply (I also have one of these on my OG board because 20 years ago, that was the standard practice). The pedals themselves cost either $35 or $50 each, so I have in-between $190-$200 for the 5 pedals. I also bought a little mint tin (slides up with a tartigade on it) to hold picks. I also got some hardware (little feet and screw acorns plus felt pads) to keep the bottom of the board decent. Last I bought a skateboard bag pack on Amazon to keep it clean and all together. Had I gone with a board like this one, I could have shaved $60-80 off the overall price depending on how well I can buy patch cables for it ($25-$45 would be my guess for really good ones) with the same pedals. But visually the skateboard looks KILLER and it channels an early 2000s Garage Rock and Horror Surf sound! Last but not least, for my Main Board I have probably $2700 into that easily (I have different pedals I bought at different times and I bought professional grade cables, power bricks, and a power strip for it) and pedals ranging from name brand mini pedals to Standard pedals, to Elevated pedals, Modified pedals, and a few Boutique pedals. My OG board has mainly Standard pedals (with a Modified and two Mini name brand pedals) and that is more or less $500 but spread out over 20+ years. ALWAYS expect your pedal board to cost more than you think. It's just the nature of the beast. Also buy good cables, both patch and to the amp and guitar so you can get the most tone out of your setup!😉👍✨

[@BudgetPedalChap]

Absolutely. I can see this being really great for young musicians who rely on public transport with the little carry bag that comes with it. It contains almost everything you need and, like you say, would be ideal for a few bigger pedals and some mini pedals too. The jury is still out on the power supply but it's not given me any issues as of yet 🤞

Again missed this one too buddy, YT algorithm all to whack💔🙄🙄 Another great video. I've never committed to a PB, but I quite like the clamp types🤔🤔 The pedal board video series would be great, I'm a bit out of practice, so knowing decent set ups would be a boon👍👍🤞🤞🙏🙏✌️✌️💜💜

[@BudgetPedalChap]

Yt really isn't doing you any favours here huh? I'm glad it found it's way to you eventually gent 👍 There will be more pedal board content coming up soon 👍

I'm very much looking forward to this new series. And that is an excellent value.

[@BudgetPedalChap]

Cheers gent, me too 👍 it's definitely packing features for the price, huh?

[@Gearjunkie35JasonBallou]

Thanks for another fun demo!

[@BudgetPedalChap]

@@Gearjunkie35JasonBallou cheers, thanks my good man 👍

[@GreenyBlues]

I already have a main and back-up / spare board. Do I need another one? Of course. Double size though.

[@BudgetPedalChap]

@@GreenyBlues 🤣🤣 that's the spirit! It's also the exact kind of thinking that makes me have a pedal collection that covers half of the room

[@jcwoodstl]

I'm always looking for an excuse to build another pedal board

[@BudgetPedalChap]

@@jcwoodstl well, this video should right up your street my good man 👍

[@boimesa8190]

Except the power supply is pretty shite :S

[@BudgetPedalChap]

@@boimesa8190 I don't suspect it's going to be the greatest but it's not let me down so far 👍

[@f33fifofum]

I think it's fine for a mini board. Ok it's not a Cioks or a Strymon but that's almost overkill for a four pedal board.

[@BudgetPedalChap]

@@f33fifofum yeah, absolutely. This is an ideal casual board. Anything more complex probably won't even fit on the board and the power sure won't cope with it either 😂
