How to set up your Pedalboard - Salvage Custom Pedalboard Demonstration

Order your dream board today! www.salvagecustom.com/
Daniel walks us through exactly how he likes to set up his Salvage Custom Pedalboard. Every pedalboard we make comes standard with one input jack, one output jack, internal patch boxes, switched AC power and a slotted, low profile velcro top.
There are many different philosophies for organizing a signal chain. This video is only detailing how our fearless leader likes to do it. There really is no "right way" just the way that's right for you.
Feel free to ask questions in the comments. We'll do our best to answer.

That whole board looks physically beautiful.

I've been checking out pedal board set up videos for weeks now and this one is by far the best video I've come across so far. Thank you for this 😁

[@BourkeTommy]

This man just became my hero 100% because of his approach to this video lol. Recognize that a lot of this is preference while also calling people out(cable building). Keep up the good work and God bless bro.

[@andrewrozell1466]

I'm really glad you put this out man. Your work is beautiful and it's nice to see how you go through the process!

[@JamesJohnson-hb1me]

Great video, thanks!

[@johnvcougar]

A ground loop is caused by powered units being connected together in a single signal chain while being powered from points where the grounds are at a different potential. I don't see how a daisy chain can cause a ground loop, because the points in the chain are all at the same potential. Daisy chains will cause problems if there is not enough current to drive the chain or if a noisy pedal somehow causes noise on the power bus, thereby sharing it's noise with other pedals on that chain. Please explain what you think you mean...?

[@knappymer]

Sad that this is the first I'm seeing this. Really dig your approach and delivery, man. Thanks!

[@TaraSueSalusso]

This is a great set up. Watched the case video too. Very cool. When you’re doing the cable set up for this, on your very first box you link it to a small box that’s attached to the exterior edge of the underside of the pedal board. You have one on the other side too. What is that box? Thank you for all the great info. You are very thorough.

[@nikolajstorebjerg9728]

Thanks for your help bro 😜

[@ruz8099]

so good!

[@mattgilbert7347]

That's a perfect pedalboard design. Do they come in different sizes? I'd want one slightly larger to fit my loop switcher. Love the fact you can raise up the top, it'd be handy for stashing a couple of "always on" pedals that I set 'n forget. I'm in Australia, dunno if we have any distributors for vour gear. Will check that link. Thanks man-bro! ;)

[@tuchchapongphoorimeti1039]

Can you tell me how to get that case? But the only thing is i need bigger size

[@johansmarin4979]

Hey man great video, just a question. How do you power the volume pedal? I do know that it does not have a power input but by having the jacks connected at all times it wouldn't drain the battery like very fast? How do you prevent that from happening?

[@robbievalentine8239]

Wow. That's a lovely bird

[@nichpak1]

I need to order set up from you guys

[@ibanezguitaristzach]

I'm confused, does that MXR reverb have an Input jack on the left side? I don't understand how your guitar is plugging into it if the output is on the left, f it is the last pedal shouldn't the input be facing out?

[@ai4nlp]

do you have any EU dealer? I live in Finland and I want a STUDIO model.

[@DIYModernTwins]

Nice!

[@tjnugent62]

Have you ever made the board with a piano hinge so you can get under the board to the power supply without unscrewing the deck screws? Something like a pedalpad.

[@neemazardkoohi3733]

what did you plug the fuzz master general (earth quaker) underneath the board on the right hand side?

Can you explain this (to someone who is returning to guitar)? Thanks.

Um ... so what? You can do either first, as long as you don't apply power until you're done.

@@robkal56 He was making a joke because the guy in the video said he was going to do one thing in the intro then he did the opposite later.

[@theatremusician]

The only thing I'd add is a smallish hole on the bottom and one on the top to let the heat out from the power supply. Other than that, I'd say this is spot on. Good times.

Yep , i see you've done your homework . Pedal board physics. wish i'd seen this last year. but my phase is before delay. what about the jam man looper ? better in the loop/switcher ? or independent at the end of the chain where it remains heard untilJM switch is cut off. either way hardlyany sig, loss , jus wondered ur op?

Have 13 pedals on my board and just plug in 3 on each side when I'm not lazy to carry extras. L O L. Let's see if a $150 unit will do that quietly.

what cable patches are those?

[@UnknownHumanoid]

So many dirt pedals in serial and no noise gate?? And why don't you put the tuner first? You can kill all the effects while tuning.

[@middle_pickup]

That has to be so heavy.

[@salvagecustom]

They aren't bad. Our case system is lighter than ATA cases and our ATA cases are lighter than most on the market. Naturally, every pedalboard gets heavy when you load it with a bunch of metal boxes :)

[@PainterDans]

Heavy is better than damaged

[@Erice1967]

Tone is all that matters once your pedals are setup. If you don't like it rearrange it.

[@freetime2freeminds]

I love that pedalboard man but 530 for a pedal and power is wayyy too much. It's so beautiful too. A shame honestly. Amazon is 65 for one of similar size and with cables and a bag included. I'll definitely keep it in mind tho if I ever have 500 to splurge lol

[@really.not.important]

Solid core cables are terrible for patch purposes because if you overstrain the cable when moving it around it dies easily. There's a reason why audio cables are always stranded and solid core cable are mainly used for electrical wiring. Advertising a cable as being solid core as an advantage is not just marketing snake oil, it's also dumb.

[@CaalamusTube]
