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.
