Custom

For those of you with requirements that are outside of our standard range we can of course build you a Custom pedalboard. When possible we prefer to work with your actual pedals to ensure a „good fit“ and cable ergonomics. Pictured below is a typical „before and after“ scenario.



*Thanks to Ansgar for allowing us to show us his "before" picture! His new pedalboard has been christened the SS700AS (Ansgar Special) in honour of it's owner! Free of charge we will also name your custom pedalboard for you as well :)



This is a customised SS700 pedalboard with special cut-outs for a very deep Hughes & Kettner "Tube Factor" pedal and also Wah-Wah and Volume pedals. The pedalboard lower section is fully cabled up, this shows how easy it is to "hide" your cables using our slot system. The top shelf has space for up to three further pedals. Behind the scenes in the second picture you can see the 9V / 12V power supply, a 240V power board (with 3m cable) for the Chorus pedal and the 9V / 12V power supply and also the internal LED lights. The lid is of course removable.

SS800vw Panik Pedal Station

This is a customised SS800 pedalboard built for Sigurd of the Panik-Power Band with special cut-outs for an Ernie Ball volume pedal (left) and a Morley "Bad Horsie" Wah  (right).





SS700wb Wah Bass 

Built for "Ace" Bass  Peter Steinbach, this is a customised SS700w pedalboard with a cut-out for an Ernie Ball volume pedal. Note that there is plenty of room on the "shelves" even for a very large Lehle Basswitch. 





SS900w Weeping Eric Special

Our biggest board yet. Built for Eric Lohrs of Georgia in the good 'ol US of A. It's 900mm long and customised to take a monster Ibanez "Weeping Demon" Wah. 





SS1000vw The Bernardini Beast 

Sorry Eric, this is now the biggest one! Built for Antonio Bernardini guitarist and founder member of the legendary Spanish rock band Sôber . It features a double cut-out for Vox Wah and Ernie Ball jr. Volume pedals. 1000mm long and who knows how heavy when fully loaded (don't worry he has a roadie or two LOL).





SS800w Retro Orange Special 

Another customer who travelled "god knows" how many kilometres to visit us is Ingo Grenzstein. Ingo is Rock and Roll to the core and it was a real pleasure to design this board for him. Loads of great pedals and a "distressed" vintage orange finish topped off with a flightcase, everything you need for someone who gig's as often as Ingo.





SS600 Bass Machine 

Sometimes we get the chance of building pedalboards with our customer's gear supplied to us. This offers all the obvious advantages especially when it comes to producing a really radical board like this one for Bass player Marius Schröder of Bielefeld band "One Last Symbol". It is a wider and taller version of an SS600 to accommodate a TC Electronics Rebelhead 450 amplifier and a Fryette Valvulator 1. 





SS900vw

We're really looking forward to seeing this board fully loaded as we know that Matthis Erber has some serious pedals lined up for this monster (keep an eye on our "gallery" page for more info).



SS900w

For Joël Baschera in Luxembourg we've built another SS900w customised for an Ibanez Weeping Demon Wah, this time complete with a Lid in lovely Vintage Orange.



SS650vw Doozy 

It was a great pleasure and honour to be chosen to build a pedalboard for one one of the most innovative guitar designers in Europe or the World for that matter. Dieter "Atze" Gölsdorf is a legend and he continues to make guitars for some of the world's top guitarists like Dave Stewart (Eurythmics), Mike Campbell (Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers) and even movie stars like Johnny Depp. Dieter wanted a double sized cut-out for his Wah and Volume pedals and something inbetween a SS600 and SS700 for his Duesenberg pedals and so surprise, surprise the SS650vw was born :)



SS700w Mad Jazz 

We are really pleased with the outcome of this our first "Lava Red Snakeskin" finish pedalboard. It's an SS700w custom for "Mad Jazz" Morales, Bassman for the band Das Beben (more pix and info on our gallery page).

 

 

SS925ww The Doc 

We received very specific requirements from Kunjay Patel for his pedalboard. He has an amazing collection of pedals and we had to work hard to find a practical solution to fit them all in. First the board is wider and deeper than normal. Front left has spaces for a  Jerry Cantrell Wah and a Whammy DT, front right has a lowered section for a GigRig G2. To enable maximum space usage inside we build an adjustable floor to go over and guide the cables from the G2 and therefore create a new level inside for pedals. Top right on the upper shelf has a riser for the GigRig Z-cable and top left has enough depth for two rows of pedals. We're really looking forward to seeing this monster fully loaded up very soon.

SS1000vw

Tom Lüthi works in a music shop (lucky man) and so he has the possibility to change pedals more often than most of us. His specification was to have a "Wah" space big enough to take any two pedals. So we decided to remove the top shelf completely at this point to provide the space for anything that might come along and at 1000mm long there's still plenty of room for loads of other gear.

SS800 GigRig

This is a standard SS800 with the front shelf partly removed to make space for a GigRig G2. You may also have noticed that it's in our new Black and White Marble finish we we really like.
