In today’s video, I team up with Mason from Vertex Effects to build an absolutely rad pedalboard using the brand-new Gator pedalboard system — and then I’m giving the whole thing away to one of YOU.
We walk through the full build: layout decisions, signal chain logic, power management, cabling, and all the little pro-tips Mason has picked up from building rigs for some of the biggest players in the world. Whether you’re trying to level up your own board or you’re just here for some pedal nerdery, this one’s packed with awesome tone talk and practical setup tips.
If you love pedals, clean wiring, smart routing, and watching two nerdy dudes obsess over Velcro placement… you’re in the right place.
