A large number of guitar players will use various effects to change the sounds that are produced by their instrument to suit the type of music that they play. You can purchase and use units that have many different pedal sounds but some players prefer to use individual units. If you are looking for a Custom Guitar Effects Pedal Board there are various specialists that can make one for you.

Designing and manufacturing bespoke boards is a skilled job and it needs to be done by a fully qualified electrical engineer. The units will have to be connected in a very specific way to make sure they work to their full potential. You will also need to work out how to power the units and you will have the option of mans or battery powered boxes.

When you are getting boards made for you there will be a a couple of choices to be made. You can mount the stomp boxes that you already own on a suitable surface and this is a cost effective way to get the job done. The alternative is to locate a specialist builder that can manufacture you a customized product which many musicians now do.

You will find a firm that manufactures customized boards by searching locally. Instrument stores in your neighborhood may be able to help you and there are contact numbers for businesses in the phone book. Many builders will place adverts in the music press and other guitarists that you know in the area may also put you in touch with a reputable builder.

The prices you pay are going to depend on the number if units and how much work is required. It is worth contacting a few builders for a quote so that you can make comparisons before you make a final decision.
