The Doom Room: ILF Edition

[ShaolinLambKiller]

No offense taken AxAxSxS, but yea it kinda did come across that.

Short of it, I and my sibling was raised by a single parent(through divorce) with very low paying job with no government assistance mainly because she was raised not to ask for a handout either. Outside of that I'm not very particular about sharing my entire background, I was taught to work and earn what I want. I was going around doing yardwork and cutting grass when I was 10. when I was 13 on I was working on a shipyard scraping barnacles off the bottoms of boats and repainting the bottoms. Grunt work. I went to college only through scholarships and grants. Even then I worked 2 jobs, one parttime, one full time while going to school full time and participating in mulitple bands that practiced and toured.
I've always worked, I've always felt responsible for what I do and achieve and that's a fault cause I just don't sympathize with anyone else because they just can't for whatever reason. And for that reason is why I'm considered a bastard and a half. I care little for most.

emptyparadigm, I vastly feel that an over abundant slice of the population is lazy as fuck. research or not.

So I am definitely going to get Mammoth Cabs to make me a new pedal board for my setup. Convert the old pedal board I have into a dunwich demo board.

just aint got no room for moar pedalz

Mount them to a wall via velcro and daisy chain them with jumpers. Just punch your tone/effect in... literally.

I might have to have a premanent residence for that.

going to go for a two tiered approach where the top tier can be hinged up with the power supplies and cabling inside the enclosed region

[ShaolinLambKiller]

it's something that should be considered to anyone who's a pedal junkie that has a permanent residence.

Sounds like a nice plan.

I've been wanting to build myself a wood pedal board. I don't have my pedalboard configuration locked down enough to justify it though. It changes all the time, since I don't have one steady band.

If they are building for you, I bet that will be something special when it's done. Going with wood?

SLK, that kinda jives with my thoughts on it. Sounds like your mother was an exceptional woman. Work ethic and personal responsibility are two of the things that a lot of kids don't get taught.
As an Infantry Squad leader, I had the honor of teaching kids just out of high school to deal with the reality's of combat. I saw a large cross section of the country and kids who came from wildly varying backgrounds.
One of the best ever was a kid from Kentucky who grew up poor as shit, single parent, and had dropped out of school early on. That dude was honest to a fault, worked his ass off, did everything asked of him and did it right away.
One of the worst was a kid from washington, who had the single parent thing going on, I had to teach that kid how to swim, how to walk (for distance without hurting himself), how to eat, what pain meant (aches vs hurt) basically everything. Kid had zero values beyond "I want X" The country kids were almost always the easiest to deal with. A lot of the kids who grew up in cities..... It's like they lived in caves with tv's and had everything brought to them.
Not scientific, but it showed me that environment had a lot to do with things.
We also had to deal with weight issues and the same kinda held true. Kids who had learned to be responsible for themselves really were not a problem. Kids who had not been taught that struggled, some got over it and became stronger people, some did not.

I built a pedal board once. I had a plywood board an and 2x4 sitting around. Cut the 2x4 to make it a little smaller and nailed the board to it to make an incline. Spray painted the whole thing metallic black. Added a handle for carrying. Put velcro strips down and on the underside as well to velco on a power strip. It's not the prettiest thing or the lightest thing but it has plenty of room for pedals and would probably survive a lot of abuse.

I'm thinking a custom pedalboard would be better than being restricted to Pedaltrain and whoever else that offers similar alternatives. I'm tired of trying to fit my pedals into a predetermined size instead of putting the pedals I want together and building a board around that.
