Keeping Myself Busy

[BeZo]

Call it "occupational therapy". I decided to make all the cables for my pedalboard with the Sqareplug jacks I ordered. Now the bass board is done.

I've had some work pending from before the accident, and this proves I should be able to do it.

It makes me hate mine now, with its normie LED and normie finish. Let me square up my medical expenses and I'll get one.

Glad you're on the mend @BeZo . Your pedalboard work is an inspiration!

The project I've had pending for a month now is to rewire my buddy's pedalboard. Here's got a full PT-PRO that he runs four cable method and then splits the return with stereo effects into two amps. He hooks everything up to random pedals on the board, and it's a rats nest. His singer tried to organize it a while back, so the cables are tied up underneath, but not neatly. I'm going to strip it down (and clean it), mount a breakout panel on it, run powercon and 5 jacks on the side, reposition his pedals, make patch cables for everything, and rewire it.

I had quoted the job and ordered all the supplies when I crashed my bike. All the stuff showed up while I was in the hospital. I'm going to hit him up and do the job now that I'm feeling a little better. I'll make sure to document the process.

I got my next project. These are the before shots of the board.

This is how he ran it and used it. I labeled his connections for his snake. Imagine hooking that up every gig; moving pedals and having cables coming out the bottom.

I'm giving him a breakout panel for his cable snake.

And wired him up a Powercon connector.

This is going to be his new layout. I added his Boss Harmonist and a Strymon Timeline. He approved it, so I'm gonna be making cables for a while.
