My dad and I recently began discussing building wedge style pedalboards out of diamond plate. He works for a place that has the resources as well as the equipment (water jet) to be able to make these pedalboards. If everything works out with our first prototype we may begin selling them and may even take custom requests. Anyone have any input on what they'd like to see in a pedalboard's design?
Also aside from that I have been pondering the idea of building patch cables and selling them. I know there are a lot of sellers out there but I thought since we were building the pedalboards, I could build patch cables to bundle with the pedalboards as well as sell separately. My question on this is which cable would be the easiest, best, and wallet friendly to work with.
All patch cables will be built using GLS pancake style plugs.
Cable options so far are:
Mogami 2319
Canare GS-4/GS-6 (GS-6 in various colors)
Gepco X-Band
Lava Mini Soar
Possibly Evidence Monorail (Although it is quite expensive and not really sure where to buy in bulk)
Which would be best to use from this list? Any other suggestions?
Not looking to get rich off of this, really just a hobby and something to do in the free time.
