Most people build pedalboards for the stage. I built mine for the studio — and I might’ve gone a bit overboard.
In this video, I take you through the full journey of building my dream studio pedalboard — from the initial sketch to the final patching.
If you’re into ambient textures, cinematic guitars, synth sound design, or just obsess over creative routing… you’ll find something here to inspire your own setup.
Some key ideas behind the setup:
- Record dry and wet signals independently
- Handle mono and stereo sources with ease
- Integrate with my DAW and MIDI setup
- Be modular and reconfigurable, like a Eurorack for pedals
I’ll show you how I tackled routing, DI boxes, stereo chains, spatial FX, and the Temple Audio pedalboard system (which I both love and... have some thoughts about). There’s also a bit of DIY: custom patch cables, clever mounting tricks, and MIDI hacks.
If you’ve ever wanted to take your pedal obsession into studio territory — or if you’re just nosy about how sound designers like me work behind the scenes — I think you’ll dig this.
