Have you experienced the embarrassment of a malfunction on stage or in the studio because of something like a loose connection, bad cable, noisy DC power adapter or a dead battery? If you have, and you want to prevent it from happening again, then we can help you. Maybe you're tired of hauling heavy amps around and you're interested in an ampless rig.
Whatever your needs are, we offer custom pedalboard solutions for healthy budgets that makes guitarists and their sound people happy. When you're confident in your equipment you can concentrate on your playing.
- A densely packed "one trick" board that requires a major overhaul every time you want to change something
- Awkward pedal layout that doesn't match the signal flow
- A board that's hard to troubleshoot
Every guitarist should have some knowledge about building pedalboards. You'll find everything you need to know on the Vertex Effects YouTube channel. We recommend that you watch How Much Is A Pro Pedalboard? before contacting us.
Fully Assembled and Ready to Rock
We build you a fully assembled and tested pedalboard with pedals already mounted based on your desired layout. We'll work with you on the design by phone, email or video calls. All fully assembled boards can be optionally drawn in 3D CAD software so you'll be able to visualize the final product before we start building.
These pedalboards give you the flexibility to add or swap out pedals easily and change the order of pedals without tearing things apart. We allocate extra space and provide additional wiring on the board to allow for small changes so the board won't have to get rebuilt from scratch unless your setup changes drastically.
We supply:
- Audio patch cables
- DC power cables
- Other necessary infrastructure items
You supply:
- The pedals
- A suitable pedalboard
- A suitable switching power supply
- You can drop off or ship the items to us
When we're finished building your board we'll do a video call with you to run through everything and confirm it's exactly what you're expecting. When you receive your board, just plug it in and start rocking.
The upside to this approach is that your board will be fully assembled and tested when you receive it. The downside is that you'll be without your pedals for a while but we'll keep it as short as possible.
Rate: $100/hour + HST CAD labour plus materials and we work quickly.
Pre-Wired and Ready for Pedals
We build you a fully wired pedalboard without pedals based on your desired layout with 3M Dual-Lock already in place for mounting your pedals. We can only do this with simpler setups that we're confident will work properly. We'll work with you on the design by phone, email or video calls. All board designs can be optionally drawn in 3D CAD software so you'll be able to visualize the final product before we start building.
These boards allow you to easily add or swap out pedals, change the order of pedals, etc. without having to tear everything apart because we allocate extra space and wiring to accommodate such changes.
We supply:
- a suitable pedalboard (or you can ship one to us)
- a suitable switching power supply (or you can ship one to us)
- audio patch cables
- DC power cables
- other necessary infrastructure items
You supply:
- the pedals
We'll do a video call with you to run through everything on the board and confirm it's exactly what you're expecting before we ship it. When you receive your board, simply attach your pedals with the supplied Dual-Lock and connect the clearly labeled signal and power cables to each pedal. Your board is now ready to use.
The upside to this approach is that you won't be without your pedals for any amount of time.
