I've got around to trying a surface covering. Unfortunately I wasn't being particularly neat, so some of the sewing is rubbish, but it does prove a concept quite nicely. Now I just need to get some velcro for the under side of the Pedals.

I'm thinking along similar line with the carpet. I have some left over from carpet lining my van.

I used 2 3mm less, 1 at each end (about 15mm from the edge) , but pointing towards each other to maximise the light dispersion. Just bear in mind that you loose 3-5mm in height inside, so to us build needs to be pretty flat to fit in, although I'm sure you guys will be far better than me at that.

Thanks,
The paint jobs are done with the 'swirl' techniques, gone bad! I prime the enclosure, then use slightly watered down acrylic paints, just put spots of different colours on where you want them, then use a cocktail stick to 'drag' the different colours into each other. The paint doesn't actually mix that easily, hence the funky patterns. Then you leave it to dry (takes forever!). I tried speeding it up on a low heat in the oven, but I wouldn't recommend it as it smells quite a bit (got in trouble with the wife for that!). Then I just clear coat it to give it a bit of surface protection. I'll see if I can get some decent photos together and post them up this evening.

Here is a sneak peek of a prototype diy pedalboard I'm trying to design:



Still a long way to go, need to think about surface covering, bolt on extension pieces, customised cables, inbuilt power supply, portability and pedal attachment ideas. Got loads of thoughts, but not enough time to try them all, but I'll try and keep this thread updated with this and other pedal builds.
