Trying to plan out a small board to go with an acoustic rig I'm trying to set up, Looks perfect for an RC-30 and Fishman Aura Spectrum.
Vintage v400mh mahogany topped dreadnought acoustic FS - £100
P.s. A board in "your" size @gavhaus is a long way off!
hahaha. I thought Meccano
Thanks for the comments, much appreciated.
On the smaller "Grab" boards, to get sufficient clearance for all Power Supplies, such as a VL PP2 at 44mm, it would be so far off the floor as to make it impractical to step on. The Grab is really in the same ball-park as say a PT Nano, which also wouldn't have such clearance, it's just not doable on such a small, narrow board. There are some new Power Supplies coming to market (such as the Cioks) which tackles this problem.
The larger (two-tier) boards will absolutely have sufficient clearance for all power supplies.
Regarding the second point - I guess what you've described there is a Pedaltrain, which is obviously a great option for a lot of people and no point me replicating that design, just go buy one if it suits your needs.
The idea with this design is that (for me personally), I always use solderless cables cut to length, there is no value in having them weave under and over the board - just keep them on top, trimed to length and kept in check if necessary with cable ties and bases.
The power cables need to pass under as that is where the power supply is likely placed, hence the gap - they can also be kept in check with cable ties and bases on top and all the slack length kept tidy underneath.
I guess the best thing is that I get one fully wired up, which I will do once I've built the final version, you will then see what I'm aiming for as an alternative to both a rails type board and a trad flat type board - I promise it will be a lot neater than the mess of cables you see dangling in between rails on a lot of Pedaltrains.
