Do you left-handed guitarists arrange your pedalboards from left to right?
Same here.I do most things left handed except play guitar. It would be a disaster to set up the board left to right. Pedals are just not made to do that. Being left footed I want my wah on the left. Being as wahs should be early in the chain even that's a pain.
I don't know how you would do this unless you put the pedals facing backwards since the input on most pedals is on the right and output is left?Do you left-handed guitarists arrange your pedalboards from left to right?
It adds a looooooot of extra unnecessary length to your signal chain that way. But I’m sure you know that. If it works for you thoug that’s greatYup, I’m ambidextrous, but wire for left foot...
Lots of cable but I’ve done it the same way since 05’. I play righty, and actually I’ve thought as an educator for the past 15 years where we have guitar as a course in the district... we all agreed to not allow left handed players. In the long run we as educators decided it was best for them long term to go right. It’s also much easier in classroom setting.

your decision of course, but that is the reason for a lot of disgrace and failed attempts by left handed on guitar, I hope you will change your mind. Thanks anyway for being honestYup, I’m ambidextrous, but wire for left foot...

The signal flow from right to left is so the cable stays out of the way of a right handed player. It's a conspiracy.No. Pedals are not 'handed' - the signal flow is right to left for them all (mostly...some vintage Tonebenders being an exception!) so it'd make no sense having big loops of wire crossing over each other everywhere on the board.
