So I recently started playing my guitar again. I have a few pedals already and plan on picking up a strymon iridium soon. I figure building a small pedalboard would be a good way of keeping organised. I’ve never made one before. Can anyone offer any advice? It looks like most people incorporate a power supply to power the pedals too. Do most pedals require the same power input? Any tips appreciated. I can provide more info if that is needed. Cheers.
Many run off the boss 9v type adapter. I use a Donner power supply which gives out 7-8 of these plus a couple of 12v and a 15v too. Some pedals need more power/reversed polarity so check first!
Some I’ve had to use the OG power supply with otherwise they start frealing out on me (eg Eventide Space).
Quite like the pedaltrain boards, very solid and good range of sizes.
Rockboard are nice too, they also sell XLR/input adapters that fit in the boards.
I have a couple of these spare:

Any chance I could use these or are they not really setup well for this purpose?
They look suitable in size etc. I guess check if they are strong enough if you’re going to be standing on the pedal footswitches?
