Over the years I’ve acquired a decent collection of pedals, and while it was easily manageable when I only had a wah and overdrive pedal, once the rest of them rolled in I found myself tangled in cables and power adaptors. I knew I needed a pedalboard but I also knew if I could afford one, I’d use that money to buy a new pedal instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fast forward a few weeks and I happened upon a post<\/a> at the harmony central forums about a guy who constructed a pedal board using a $10 shelf unit from IKEA. The shelf in question is called a GORM (who the heck names these things?) and this cheap DIY pedalboard has inspired literally hundreds of people to create their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2023 Update: The GORM shelf is no longer in production at IKEA, but you can get the HEJNE shelf, which is more or less the same shelf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will now share with you my own DIY odyssey with the Gorm pedalboard, and I hope it inspires you to do the same.<\/p>\n\n\n
