Expanding Pedalboard - Layout and Wiring Tips for a Compact Setup
The X-Series from Pivotal Pedalboards represents a modern breakthrough in compact pedalboard design. Thanks to an innovative patent pending design, these feature-packed pedalboards actually expand on stage when it’s time to play and shrink back down to a more manageable size when it’s time to transport, travel and store them.
In this video we’ll show the full build process of an in-house pedalboard setup. We’ll cover board selection and layout planning, gathering components, signal path and wiring, cable organization, and effective labeling.
This rig uses our X14 pedalboard for a compact but very capable setup, featuring 9 pedals with full switcher control, MIDI functionality, audition loop, and external MIDI, USB, and DC power.

    Does the X26 fit it in an overhead?

    That's great! The next step would be to put all your pedals in a portable rack case in the backline and just use a wireless MIDI controller.

    The X14 is a little too small for the board I want but the X20 is way too large. I think a 16 would be perfect.

    Is this sturdy enough to use without a loop switcher?

    • @PivotalPedalboards
      @PivotalPedalboards Před 10 měsíci

      Yes, all X-Series models are very solid and suitable for use with or without switching systems. Cheers!

    Can you reorder each side of the stereo pairs? For example, using loop 4 into loop 1

    • @PivotalPedalboards
      @PivotalPedalboards Před rokem

      With the RJM PBC6X, if the system is being used in dual mono mode as it is here then loops 1-11 can be completely reordered on a preset by preset basis. In this mode, each stereo pair from the switcher can become 2 mono loops and placed where ever you like in the signal chain. Hope this helps, cheers!

    Lots of awesome ideas here, really love the design. A little pricey.... but very well thought out. Is there an option to have the IEC cable plugged in without extending the 2nd tier? in some situations a smaller board is better and having the option to have access to just the top row on smaller stage might be be useful. Awesome work!

    • @PivotalPedalboards
      @PivotalPedalboards Před rokem

      We do have the option of a PowerCon AC connector shown at 4:26 in our AUX 3 panel that could power you through the side wall instead of the IEC connector. Cheers!
